- Ron DeSantis is literally getting on everyone's nerve. Quiet as it's kept, the pundits don't believe that he has the charisma necessary to be electable, but y'all didn't hear that from me. Anyway, a lot of people wonder how it is possible that someone who is black and a member of the LGBTQ+ community could live in Florida. Well, I'm here to tell you...
#RonDesantis #FunkyDineva #FunkyBunch
I’m from florida, and I’ve lived all over the state. While I agree that Miami is VERY different from the rest of florida, the politics are quickly moving and will affect south Florida. I don’t think a lot of people realize a lot of of the policies that are passing will affect miami (immigration, funding for DEI programming in schools, undocumented workers) and people there and it will affect a lot more people than in the past. Miami friends, y’all are not safe either, especially since a large portion of Latinos in Miami (Cubans, I’m looking at you) consistently vote republican. Although not all republicans are extreme, that’s still a vote for Ron DeSantis (who is running for president and even if he loses, he passed a bill in the most recent legislative session to return to florida as governor). We also can’t excuse our latino people for that vote because we need to take a step further and realize that republicans use verbiage to trigger the ideas of communism to keep the latino vote. As someone who works in state policy in Florida, I am very afraid for everyone. Stuff that we’ve never seen happen in politics is happening and will impact EVERYONE.
Afraid of what? God is who you should fear.
Great points! I think funky has to not be naive that Miami is untouchable.
I hate that we've allows the media to keep creating these boogeyman as if they are ONLY lawmakers to pass draconian, anti-Black, anti-LGBT laws when they are more common than not. LGBT people are not a protected class which means it's basically legal to discriminate against them & gives legal precedent for all kinds of laws. I live in NYC and our mayor might as well be a republican as well as our local and state representatives based on the way they vote and the laws they pass. No matter what laws are passed or not, they will always find a way to enforce them on Black poor people & pretty much anyone who isn't wyt. People need to wake up & pay attention to the both Democrats & GOP & who they really represent bc they are both violating us
The politics of Miami is the issue. The Cubans in Miami voted in DeSantis & trump. They are racist af in Miami…and blk still going down there making them richer. I want him and everyone else to stop saying this nonsense.
@@parishers6351 As a believer, I think is perspective is willingly obtuse. If that’s your stance, that’s your stance.
Don't get too relaxed, Funky! I bet the residents of Germany never thought extremism would take over their country, either.
Ukraine too
You betta tell him!
Exactly!!
THAT PART!!! HE BETTER WATCH THOSE HOLOCAUST DOCUMENTARIES.
The movie Bent comes to mind. Oh they was having a gay ole time at first in Berlin, until things got serious with the Nazis
Injustice ANYWHERE is a threat to justice EVERYWHERE.
It needs to affect them for them to understand.
This!!!
Preach!
Felt !
Yes Mr King called it
What’s so sad that many more of us don’t see it 😞🤦🏾♀️😢
I hear you but I must say this respectively - the people in Tulsa was isolated and then the evil burned it down. So I say to you "you are in Florida and it's not safe"
Totally agree
And let’s remember a lot of Cubans consider themselves white adjacent before they consider themselves minorities. A lot of Latino activists on tik tok have spoken about how south FL Cubans are notorious for not showing up for the rest of the Latino community, they have a prejudice against Central and South American immigrants and are anti blk.
*respectfully
Those people in Tulsa didn't think anything was going to happen and was not prepared! Stop being so damn scary black people! We are powerful! And I'm not going nowhere until the Lord says "come on"!! Aren't y'all tired of running black people! Then stop and stand "your" ground! Stop giving your power away and use it! Damn 🤬!
No matter how much y’all mingle together in Miami, those same people are voting against you& your best interest. Make it make sense.
Not new.
Because they are voting for their best interests not yours That's sort of how voting works.
@@trackgrad08 And neither is your useless comment. Move about heaux.
thank you
Okay! He sounds nuts!
Miami having cognitive dissonance is what lead us here in the first place. Miami put Ron Desantis back into office.
Yup! Them Cubans was LOVING Ron and Trump. That’s who for them in office in the first place.
And Miami voted for Trump as well. If my memory serves correctly, the strongest turn out for Trump in Miami was among Cuban Americans. Miami reminds me a lot of northern VA in the sense that they are very much in denial about how much they secretly hate certain demographics. Even the local economy of Miami reminds me of Northern VA with their lack
Of affordable housing and massive income gaps.
100% correct
@@TamiBaybee96 racist white cubans and some brown cubans, yup yup yup
They surely did
Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. Everyone can’t live in Miami or afford to move there. I was born here and have owned my condo for 18 years. You should be telling people to register to vote and to vote these republicans out. Not happy with this post at ALL.
I totally agree with you!
Yes, you said it best. It's not feasible toove every time laws pass that we don't agree with. I think it's just starting here in Florida but it's going to spread to other states. This is what the Republicans want. Desantis is just igniting the spark. And yes, I'm black and live in Florida. We have to vote them out, that's the key.
I was thinking the same thing. Miami is very expensive. I want to see if he thinks the same in 5 years if that long.
Exactly!! Black people need to see that our rights are being eradicated and if we do not vote on our behalf and promote political action for ourselves no one else will!!
He sounds delusional and dumb. Those folks are voting republican to erase black people! I don’t care how he think’s they aren’t like that because they go to gay parties. We call that playing in your face where I’m from! 😅🥴
The man is the governor of the entire state of Florida, that includes Miami
Q logic is out of bounds, it makes no sense
Unless you have been to Miami you would never understand
@@swiftjustice04 I've been to miami plenty of times and I totally understand what funky is saying, but I also believe that things are completely different now... the proud boys aren't taking over the Republican Party in South Florida for nothing! They have plans!
If you lived here like I do, you’d understand Q completely. Everything he said works exactly like he said.
@@tirzahgabourel It's working for now...
So basically you just live in your silo and ignore the oppression of other communities outside of Miami?
What can he do to fix the damage? Why is that his responsibility?
That’s exactly what he said. This is the problem with the gay community and the elitist mentality.
@@ThePresentTimeNow it's not his responsibility however with him saying what affects the state doesn't affect Miami he's dismissive of the oppression of others in the state. People in the North didn't think the Jim Crow laws of the South affected them until Emmitt Till was murdered.
@@liquidlightz thank you for elaborating on this. That makes sense with the context you provided.
@Guy He said that he's insulated and the laws don't affect him from the day-to-day. Not that he doesn't care what happens outside of Miami. Like, what do you want a random CZcamsr to do about DeSantis and his laws? 🙄
I'm black, a woman, gay, and live in Florida and I'm in serious talks about moving to Savannah, GA. DeSatan is controlling the state... Miami, Tallahassee, Gainesville, Orlando, Tampa etc... snap out of it, Q! You'll feel it soon enough.
I was born and raised in Savannah Ga. It really is a beautiful city. I currently live in Charlotte NC, but there is nothing like home!
Q travels all over. I believe he lives in Atlanta
@@waterlove2042naw he left Atlanta years ago
Right! He's delusional as hell
I agree with you…. Slowly it will turn into something that everyone down there will say… how did this happen???? Wake up y’all. 🥹
Dineva sounds delusional. If this man will come after Disney (which is a "cash cow" for the state) why would he hesitate to focus his hatred towards Miami🤷🏽♀️
Very delusional.
As someone who is from Atlanta, I can relate to the ideology of I'm from this city and not the state; however, politics just don't work that way. We literally know that statistically, Black and Brown communities will likely be the most affected by any policies enacted on the state level. It happened with the rollout of ACA, with addressing Covid, etc etc. It's only a matter of time.
I lived in Miami for years and I agree Miami is NOT Florida but it was still pretty segregated and kinda racist in Miami, it just wasn’t white on black racism
Blacks on blacks just the same.
Bingo! “Cubs” are the new yt man.
Yes the Hispanics are super racist
The facts
The Cubans be so nasty
The parent who complained about Amanda Gorman book is in Dade county and Desantis pulled the book from schools. It affects everyone in Florida including Miami.
So one parent had all that power?
@@CallmeQuayZ Enough so that it appeared to the governor and his agenda, so surprisingly, yes. They had power at the right time and in the perfect climate.
That's a lot of words to say "idgaf about anyone else outside Miami as long as I'm personally ok". Chile I usually rock with you but this right here ain't it.
I care more about the racist laws being passed in FL and I live in CT. Q we are our Brothers' keeper. We have to stand up for each other.
Usually, I rock with you, but not on this one. This entire video is JUST ... THIS AIN'T IT!!!
Glad it wasn’t just me.
A mess!
💯
Thank you! I tried saying this in my long winded way but you just hit it right on it’s head. This is some bull he’s saying right here.
Agreed. Desantis is testing limits right now-he will come for Miami
Although I live in Miami…DeSantis is the Governor for the entire state of FL including Miami. Miami isn’t exempt from any of his laws. It might sound cute to say “but I live in Miami”…. But those laws effect us just as much as someone living in Pensacola🤷🏾♀️
I agree with most of this video BUT Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly… until it affects you directly.
I live in ft Lauderdale and don’t directly feel what’s going on but I feel so badly about this situation that we’re ALL in.
same, i'm in fort Lauderdale near Lauderdale by the sea.
FACTS!!!
Pompano/Ft Lauderdale gas, rent, food, crime is HIGH and wages are LOW
After the immigrants and Blacks- the LGBT is NEXT!
#FACTS
Same here! And it’s only a matter of time before these laws set us back to Jim Crow era. I can’t believe someone as intelligent as funky could be so oblivious to what’s happening in his own back yard… people think because they don’t feel it that they can get comfortable & that’s the unfortunate reality of why people haven’t joined together to vote DeSATAN out of office. Miami is NOT separate from Florida & these laws affect us all.
When I clicked on this video, I thought I was going to hear something like: we stay because we will not cede this place to DeSantis or his Ilk, or: if we all leave no one will be left to fight what’s going on here or even: some of us can’t afford to move nor should we allow conditions to force us to move.
What I was not expecting was a perspective from someone who’s thoughts I have come to respect so much and whose reasoning ability shows him capable of dealing with nuance in ways that most people are not proclaiming we are not affected by it so that’s how come we can live with it. I have often wondered how did good people allow slavery or the holocaust or other atrocities to happen and it really was as simple as we weren’t affected by it. Shoulder shrug. 🙁🙁🙁
And that's what's so heartbreaking about this video. When they do decide to take action, it'll be too late, and they'll wonder, "How did this happen?"
I think it's also worth noting that just because you have sex or do drugs/party with people of different races, it doesn't mean that you respect them or vote in a way that preserves their basic liberties. I.e. master & slave - lots of sex, no respect
THIS
They still took Rosa Park out of history. This is in every public school. So it's bigger than Miami.
I'm a black trans woman living in Tallahassee and I was thinking of moving back to South Florida for this exact reason.... But Ya when I move I am moving out of Florida PERIOD
I would say that Seattle would be much safer and progressive for you. Unfortunately it’s extremely expensive but we’d love to have you. Fuck DeSantis and Trump, so glad I left Miami.
I’m a black Florida girl and love it here. The lady at the post told me that they are getting tons of newcomers changing their addresses to Florida from out of state. Florida is a great place to be. Most people sitting on social media for news. Come to Florida and get the real news from the people in the Streets. It’s all political nonsense
@@parishers6351 having your rights taken away is never political nonsense, period.
Do it honey I left for years ago and when I visit when I get home sick I remember why I left😮💨
@@incognitoyo8606 what rights were taken away?
As a black Latina I don’t have the desire to visit any part of Florida again 😂 the things I’ve experienced there are unparalleled.
I believe you! Plus you being an Afri Latina...oh my the colorist white skinned Latinos...it's terrible
Funky, i want to discuss this further. You only scratched the surface. I have talked to a BlackvFloridian who is very concerned about his state of Florida and DeSantis. You cannot separate Miami from the rest of the state. The Black educators are very concerned. You are being self-absorbed, it doesnt affect me. Self-centered. The NAACP has issued a travel advisory. I was in Orlando area last September. I went to Zora Neale Hurston's hometown. They are trying to get rid if it, they want the landbfor something else. This is serious.
Funky nah most times, I agree with you, but in this instance...no ma'am, no sir!!! This lies the problem. When people think they are so far removed from an issue, trust it will affect them later and if not them directly, it'll be a relative, friend, whoever. The folks voting republican but live their life liberally are also the problem. When shit hit the fan frfr, who you think they're flocking to, to protected them. I promise you they won't be so flamboyant. No shade,Florida is still ass backwards. this is exactly why white people get away with this mess. Still love ya Funky, but this is a no for me.
I agree with you on this Trickle down effect because conservatives vote Red regardless. 🤷🏽♀️
Succinctly stated! Thank you! This is why so many Republicans are taking over and taking this country back to the 1950s.
I agree. People being “liberal” republicans matters not when they are voting people into office that are passing legislation that will negatively impact entire communities.
100% agree. We're all in a slowly burning pot and some are saying "it's not that hot"...true it's not boiling yet. We're in a dangerous situation and it concerns me that so many people are either ignorant of what's going on, don't care, or are putting their heads in the sand. Besides the people that are happy to see what is going on because they're outright insane. It's frightening.
@@nellymed85 I 1,000% agree with you.
Wake up! I live in Florida and Miami is in Florida. Try tell your Latin friends that they vote republican and are benefiting from the democratic process.
#FACTS totally agree with everything you said
No shade to the cubans but if they think the Democratic party is similar to Fidel Castro's communism, I got a bridge to sell them. The democratic party in America is socially liberal but fiscally conservative. Very capitalistic. So what the hell are they talking about? Lol
That "it doesn't effect me" is how we got here. Don't wait til it does effect you to speak out. But hey ion know nuffin.
Idk. I don’t agree with this take. Lots of people are private about what they REALLY believe and say one thing to you and vote differently. You got people who “tolerate” things but give the chance to vote against it, they will. We don’t know what these people think behind closed doors and in the voting booth.
Funky. This ignorant. Sorry not sorry. Laws impact all of us. And what he is doing is a threat to all
PeriodT
right... Q thinks this is a great HOT TAKE, but it's not. It's giving "what Ron has done doesn't really affect me, so the problem doesn't exist."
🎯
Who hurt Ron Desantis as a child?
Just like Hitler some people are born evil. If we don't do something. He will ensure this entire country goes to hell with him. I just pray to God he is not triumph like Hitler
I know right who did hurt DeSantis 🤔
I think Andrew Gilliam got his as a grown man….
Chile you know they said that the reason why D Satan is acting like this is because his own people didn't support him and it was the other side that gave him all the encouragement so he has it out literally for his own damn people and everybody else be damned too!! I've already used my power of prayer.. the same grave that he's digging for us will be the one that he falls in in Jesus name❤
@@BlaydeAlabama amen sis I know that's right I'm all prayed up for DeSantis because I know he's up to no good and he don't have the attention to do the right thing
I just took my son to a Malcolm X book festival. A foundation donated over $10,000 to a black book store to give free books to kids. I live near Orlando. We are getting ready for the Juneteenth Festival next. But it's time to show up and VOTE 📚
Voting is so major!!!
It’s very naive to think Miami won’t be affected by everything around it. I was watching a documentary about WWII recently and they interviewed survivors of the holocaust. You’d be surprised at how many ppl in the surrounding countries of Germany didn’t think they’d be affected. I live thousands of miles away from Florida and I’m worried.
Cubans in South Florida helped get us in this shiii
Exactly and those Hispanics he is talking to is only playing him with their communism talking points because he’s CZcams famous.
That was globally evident. Ana Navarro is the only one speaking out against him publicly.
It just seems like excuses to ignore what isn’t happening to you yet, but will most definitely happen to you eventually.
I agree ☝🏾
I get that Q was merely explaining what he means by Miami not being Florida, but for those who think they can stay insulated from de Santis' BS, I have only this to say:
First they came for the socialists and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me.
-- Martin Niemoller
They're coming for all of us that are "other.". And, we "others" better wake up, band together and fight back. VOTE these MFs out!!
After the immigrants and Blacks- the LGBT is NEXT!

@@lelahill9778 they are already passing legislation for the lgbtqia community. They aren’t up next. They are up now.

I’m a black gay man and a military vet that has been stationed in many places but living here for years I agree with everything you said. Miami is it’s own thing. There is a part of the Latino community here that are very racist towards black people but fetishize black people in the same breath are some of the mental gymnastics I deal with.
I believe it as a Florida native
That’s why I believe that black/brown reuniting narrative is bs
Yes I left Miami for that reason, lived outside of the U.S. NYC, dc, la, and the bay no one acts like white Latins in miami. I have so many Latin friends outside of south Florida lol.
Same! I'm from S FL and agree with all that you said!
@@08brittanyr I don’t blame you and the “White Latinos” down here are a different breed for sure.
Miami Dade voted for DeSantis... yall are not safe
I’m an Afrolatina from NY and the last time I was in Miami (pre-pandemic) I felt that the Latinos down there were very racist. When I spoke Spanish to them, is when I was treated differently ‘nicer.’
Thats for every group. If you are part of them they treat you better, however I do find that Cubans particularly can be very standoffish. When I first moved down here from NY I didn't want to believe it when I was old by other people even some of them as well. Now nearly 10 years in I have reached the sane conclusion. Big difference from the Purto Ricans and the Cubans.
I’m black Cuban, also originally from nyc, and I definitely go through that every day in soflo
As a Florida resident… I am tired!
Me too
Don't give up
Miami has turned from democrat to republican, Ft. Lauderdale is more democratic than Miami is.
So true
All of those Cubans and Puerto Ricans
Yup!
Exactly. This was made evident the past two major election cycles. You don’t even have to live in FL to know this either because it was so heavily discussed on every news network during primaries and election predictions.
Was just talking about that demon spawn, DeSatan. I’m praying for y’all logical beings down there in Florida because he’s a pure nut.
I’m from Miami as well and They can have it. Eventually what he is doing will trickle down to Miami. Slowly but surely.
Desantis is literally threatening to strip to alcohol licenses of restaurants and hotels that host drag shows. That’s something that’s a huge part of the lgbtq community.
What a disregard for the rest of the people who live outside of Miami.
The Drag shows are fine as long as no kids are involved. Do you have strip clubs doing shows for kids?
@@Kimberlyncovington Children under 21 aren't even allowed in the bars to see the drag shows!!!!
Do you take your kids to church? They have more to fear from their nasty youth pastor than a drag queen.

DeSantis IS White
You are insulated until you are Not. Stay woke!!! ❤❤❤
This 100% explains why Desaintimonious is able to do all that he does! Miami populates 6.1 million people who, according to your explanation, totally ignores who the governor is doing because you believe it does affect you! You do understand that an Injustice to one area is an Injustice to all areas of Florida!
Even with the separation, I hope Miami can get out and vote because it impacts the State.
I wouldn't set foot in Florida and I was hoping to hear your take on this. Eventually, it will impact Miami residents as well. He just signed that bill to defund DEI at all Florida public colleges and universities so it will indeed impact underrepresented students in Miami b/c those are state dollars, millions of them, that schools won't get to support students of color, queer students, students part of NPHC orgs, etc.
WHERE TO START???
1: The very same cognitive dissonance aka gaslighting not only for the residents of Miami, but moreover for US US Citizens use to justify our participation in White SUPREMACY.
2: Insulation is only safe...until it's not.
3: We ALL have to get involved in our State and local politics
4: Having a separate zip code, City government and police department does not absolve any City nor its citizens from State wide policy
5: Leaving this here...Hitler's policies did not impact all Jewish people...INITIALLY...and when it did it was too late
MORAL OF THE STORY...IF WE DON'T LEARN FROM HISTORY YOU WILL INEVITABLY REPEAT IT
But a Miami school just outlawed the inaugural poem by Amanda Gorman. DeSantis mandates affect all of Florida. He didnt exclude Miami-Dade colleges from messing with Black Studies. All of Florida must end their DEI programs. Tallahasee is the home of Florida A&M. I know what you are saying because Miami is more liberal but you have not yet felt the effects of his mandates. Besides, you should be concerned about the rest of Black Floridians.
So true
While I can understand where you are coming from, mentally separating a city from the state, you are dismissing the point that some may have made. You may not be impacted personally, however others are. Sometimes, I believe that in order for progress to be made, you must see the wrongs done to others and be vocal as an ally or take action. We cannot evolve if we are dismissive of the plights others face.
I live in Pensacola and you’re totally correct. My husband and I just vacationed in Miami and it’s 2 totally different places. In Miami folks live open and free. In Northwest Florida it’s very tense. We can feel the changes and the affects of Ron Desantis. It’s quite disturbing.
Same in North Central Florida
What are you feeling?
I hear what you’re saying. It’s like Austin in Texas as far as liberal and progressive views. The problem is is that the majority of your voters voted for values. Other than that I I will say this for me personally, I will never live in another state that doesn’t reflect my values again. Your taxes are contributing to values that are not yours. Sorry for any typos I’m on the mic.
Yess
Tbh I think you’ve oversimplified a very serious issue. We’ve seen these book bans and authoritarian attacks on private business ( in this case Disney) in history many times before and it’s usually the start down a very slippery slope. But if you not worried, I’m not gonna be worried for you. I get that you feel like what the gov is doing has no effect on y’all day to day but that’s low key the point of how racism and homophobia are designed to work. It’s supposed to be so subtle because most of the disenfranchisement is happening on an institutional or systemic level, I.E. laws and public policy. Think of it like an iceberg. Most of the danger is below the surface and you don’t see it till It’s too late. I know you speak of how pro- diversity Miami is but all
It takes is one gerrymandering and suddenly your district is conservative af and they start pushing POC out of the district. Happens in parts of VA all the time. But if you not worried 🤷♀️
Thank you. You encapsulated the thoughts I had as I watched the vid. It's that slow creep of policies /laws enacted. Gerrymandering has proven to be a favorite tactic to game the sysem.
🎯 Exactly.
@@andaisshadows5285 and today in the news it was announced that Amanda Gorman's Biden inauguration poem was moved out of an elementary library at a Miami-Dade school after a parent complained. They are legally pushing black ppl out of public spaces with “ anti-woke” agenda. But if he not worried about it , we shouldn’t be worried for him. And this is going to sound so mean but I’m done with folks trying to save FL. If they wanna act against their own self interest- let them. Send prays from a distance.
I live in Florida and just received a letter today stating that the clinic where I receive hormones will no longer be able to provide care for me due to the bill SB 254 that Desantis signed. I am absolutely terrified and now I have to go through hoops to possibly get my hormones elsewhere. If I go without too long it will send my body into early menopause
Great topic. I just moved back home to Miami from LA and this man terrifies me 😫I love south Florida so much but he gives me super villain vibes and I just don't get what he's trying to accomplish!! Every time I see his name in the headline it's some BS and I'm just hoping it never spills over into Miami/Broward. 🤦♀
He's trying to keep himself in the news and gain name recognition in his bid for the presidency. I'm really praying it turns off enough people to give us a shot at ending the Republican supermajority in our state congress.
I’m in the process of moving back to Orlando from San Diego, CA and I’m so over it. 😭
Q, I respect your first hand insight. However, I think your insulated comfortability is naive to the wider impact of Gov. DeSantis legislative infrigments on minorities. Love ya
💯 This is the same dynamic here in GA. I'm from ATLANTA... I say all the time, ATLANTA isn't GEORGIA. GA voters are completely opposed to the ATLANTA way of life & her voters. It's life 🤷🏽♀️
This was my 1st time hearing of the separation of city vs. state. Living in Miami, but not Florida.
It's a big fact here in FL
I normally agree but this commentary is wrong ,this will affect all of Florida!!!!!! Watch!
Couldn't you say that about many big cities in red states? Houston, Austin, Dallas, New Orleans, to name a few. The same in blue states (Detroit, Philadelphia, NYC, L.A., Chicago). The larger metropolitan areas are usually an entirely different animal than the rest of the state.
With that said, those laws will eventually affect EVERYONE. Ignore at your own peril.
I don’t know if I agree with you on this one… eventually Miami will feel the stupidity of your Governor…love you!!!
I agree
I love Miami Beach. It has been like my second home for more than 20 years. It was the place that I would go to to escape, rest and relax. My little slice of heaven. Not anymore. I just can’t give one cent of my tourist dollars to FL as long as he’s governor. I do understand the difference between most of FL and Miami though.
As someone from South Florida what Q said is 1000% true
We have to turn out to vote to get these ppl out. We just had a vote for mayor up here n Jax and the dems won. That’s a small thing we can do but the results can be betr for us.
The community insulation is in place for now, but the change is in effect, the impact has just not been felt yet. Voting is important if you want to stay insulated from that governor.
I’m so tired of them and they generational hate
You could argue that Atlanta is the same way. The state functions differently than the city.
Facts.
Born and raised here, I agree
Sorry isn’t the governor trying to shut down the drag show at R house which is in wynwood. Seems to be happening in Miami.
If Miami is separated from the rest of Florida, by ideology, does that lend itself to voter apathy.
Absolutely which is how Ron got reelected
I left Bradenton in Oct...right after Hurricane Ian. I am now a resident of Griffin GA and had actually planned to make this move for my degree in Aviation as well as my perfume line. I couldn't grow it the way I needed either to take off. With Ron DeSantis wanting to erase EVERYONE from the history curriculum in FL is far too alarming. I don't have school age children but feel bad for those who do. I'm happy I made the move, but that was the best choice for Monique, We all have our own reasons for moving and doing the things we do.
Drop the link for the perfume
@prentfaiyaz I did, but I think the moderator may have removed it. I'm easy to find though 😊
You think hillbilly GA is better?
@trackgrad08 I Know having access to an airport hub and a surrounding where my personal business had better potential for growth was the right choice for Me. I'm also fortunate enough to leave the US as often as I want or need to if political madness or racial tensions become all too consuming to handle. In the meantime "hillbilly" GA suites Me just fine.
I agree with this because I live in Atlanta. I've never even BEEN to Georgia. 😂 If I leave the city I'm going to the airport ✈️. All black EVERYTHING.
Ok ATL and Georgia is two different places 😂😂
Wait until your governor starts legislating to strip the counties that encompass Atlanta of power. Our governor in Texas is passing bills to have a person who can overturn our elections in Houston. That person is appointed to the position by him. This is the nation's 3rd or 4th largest city, and it's very Democratic. He wants to disenfranchise our vote. This could be the blueprint for all minority controlled cities in a Republican state.
I live in Atlanta and never been to Georgia?!? Is that a joke?!? Last time I checked the city is Atlanta but the state is certainly Georgia! 🤦🏾♀️
@Alicia Roberts OMG it's a JOKE. Lmao. She's saying ATL and GA are 2 different worlds, get the hint and chill out.
@@ac-cd6hd thank u 🤣🤣
I agree there should be term limits. It's sad that they will pass one law on gun control😢 maybe if their family and loved ones are un-alived
Nothing wrong with guns
Lived in Miami and it is ignorant to think this is and won’t effect Miami, this man has three more years as governor. Gay neighborhoods are scared to have drag shows and celebrate pride all over Florida including Miami. Not to mention the right to carry in Miami, don’t say gay in schools, no black history in all schools including Miami. The republicans may be in the gay clubs but still passing anti lgbt policies. And btw the proud boys are even out protesting dragtime stories in NYC. This is how they keep people ignorant by making people think oh we okay down here in Miami until it’s not anymore
It just havent effected Miami YET! The bill was just drop boo!!! Give it TIME.
I live in Libbyland/ultra diverse (Montgomery County, MD), which is definitely a segregated cocoon, but I know that those evil fascist forces are lurking nearby in the shadows, and nipping at our heels.
As a Florida resident I totally disagree with you on this one Q. First of all geography is important. Wilton Manors is in the Fort Lauderdale area not Miami. Just because you insulate yourself over there in Miami Beach doesn't mean that Miami isn't in the same boat as the rest of the state. Those homophobic laws DeSatan put in place is for the entire state. Stop pretending Miami is some separate entity. We ALL need to work together as Florida residence to get rid of him. I can't rock with you on this one.
I live in Atlanta and listening to you say this about Miami sounds like you’re saying Black folks here shouldn’t be worried about the fact that they’re making it harder for us to vote. It might not affect me in Atlanta, but it might affect Miss Odel in Macon, GA or Tifton, GA. They coming for all of us!! I was born in Pensacola FL. My daddy went to Miami Dade. I realize what you’re saying but you don’t live in the State of Miami. Love you Q.
Born and raised in the county of dade in Opa-locka. Then in my adulthood, I moved to Miami gardens off 207th st. Been in GA since 2009 and each time I visit, I'm seeing how much everything has changed and home isn't home anymore... All I have are memories.😢
We shouldn't underestimate the extremism. It's not just opinions, real life legislation is occuring and it can get much much worse. Our people need to VOTE.
Funky I wholeheartedly agree with you! I’m from Philly, not Pennsylvania!!!! Outside of Philly is like a whole different world! Plus this is the most diverse city in Pennsylvania, so the laws vs how they actually are acted on are a little different here.
Like Baltimore, I was born and raised here, but ask somebody from ANY surrounding County and they will QUICKLY correct you with... "No, I'm from Maryland "...if you ask somebody from the city if they're from Maryland, you'll hear " No I'm from Baltimore ". Don't get me started on the DMV argument 😖🤦🏾♀️
Exactly I'm from Baltimore not Maryland... Baltimore is it's own state 😂😂😂 just like Philly 😂
@@moniqueplair RIGHT I hate when they lump us in the DMV

Golden Girls: Miami, Miami, you've got style. Blue sky, sunshine, white sand by the mile.
When you live in this town, each day is sublime. The coldest of winters are warm and divine.
Miami, Miami, you've got style. Blue sky, sunshine, white sand by the mile.
That's why we have to educate our kids at home now on their culture, history, etc.
A lot of my black history that is hidden more and more I learned standard in secondary school in the U.K. Why did I learn more in a white country than the U.S. about my cultures, feats and history? Kinda ass backwards, but I am glad I learned real history overseas.
There's Miami and the rest of FL. Miami is it's own thing. That being said I used to live in Orlando. Lived there for 17 years. Watched Obama win Florida twice. State gone downhill. So glad I moved to PA
As a native Miamian, I 1000% agree. The fear however, is that they're working so hard to undo & uproot all those pockets of comfort. I no longer live there but I LOVE Miami for exactly the reasons you've described. Prayers it stays insulated and the beautiful diversity is preserved.
I'm from Miami and I've never heard anyone explain why Cubans identify with Republicans more closely. That was actually an eye opener for me.
I don't understand how he has so much power to what he want.
Gerrymandering and stacking the FL lawmakers to be mostly Republican. That way, he can ram through whatever laws he wants. They even voted to eliminate the rule that would have forced him to step down as Governor in order to run for President. How convenient...
The Florida Republican legislature is Republican by more than 75% percent.
Because people chose not to vote. Not voting is a vote for DeSantis, because they get their people out to the polls.
Hitler did it. Watch documentaries on the holocaust.
@@swiftjustice04 Exactly.
I feel like this is true for most large cities/ metropolitan areas vs. the suburban/ rural areas. Segregation of ideology and values happens naturally
South Florida is really doing their own thing. However, I would advise if you feel uncomfortable with these new laws, it’ll be wise to move to a blue state, Texas is feeling heat as well.
But you pay Florida taxes, right, but correct me if I’m wrong. We were having our family reunion in Miami but we’re going elsewhere.
I am sorry Funky I usually ride hard with you, but this one I have to strongly agree to disagree with you. In my opinion the way your thinking is not realistic at all. It may have worked before but what hapenning now is unprecedented. Your denying what is really happening in the neighboring houses so long as it doesn't get to your house. But little do you know its like a wild fire and eventually baby its going to spread to your house. Next thing you know your trying to put out the fire but its to late kate cause the law has been signed sealed and now delivered. I get loving where your from and where you live and thinking the way you do, but whats going on right now is threatining to burn your while sh$t down.
Well he's announcing his run for presidency soon so to think you're safe is naive on your part. All it takes is a smooth talker and some lies to sway the masses.
I feel for y’all because it’s just so damn crazy what’s going on there
The only ignorant thing would be to live in Miami and not vote because one feels that Miami is that different. I have family in Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Orlando. If your governor has his way, Miami will be totally different in a while. I absolutely love visiting Miami - and yes, I do South Beach because I'm on vacation - but what I love about South Beach is that it feels like I'm not in the U.S. South Beach is definitely not the rest of Miami or Florida. But he's coming for all of it, so get ready.
Nessa gurl when you said the parents are responsible for what their children learn 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
While that's true, all parents aren't good parents (or some parents may be forced to work 2-3 jobs), and kids shouldn't be deprived of learning due to these circumstances.
@@tenderbrown74Black students have always needed to have ‘Two Sets of Notes’ (a poem by M.K. Asante Jr.). I was a teen mom and still taught my son REAL black history.
@@elekmoss And that's great! However, every parent is NOT like you, and you shouldn't expect them to be. People's circumstances differ. Kids should not be deprived of being educated by the very people who are PAID and qualified to educate them.
@@tenderbrown74 Education starts at home. It doesn’t take much to pick up a book and teach your child true black history. This system wasn’t built for us to learn the truth in school. You know the old saying, “If you want to hide something from a n-word, put it in a book”.
It's not what we are taught that will be the problem. It will be what they aren't taught that will be the problem. In 20 years, the mechanisms of racism (redlining, gerrymandering, excessive IRS audits, discrimatory lending, and so on) will still be in place. However, they won't believe it or won't care because all the work the civil rights movement and beyond did to prove racism will have been erased. Their parents certainly won't tell them. Schools were the safety net that made sure no could forget or deny.
Does that type of thinking effect black voters turnouts in republican states??
Perfect timing!!!! I needed something to watch
I’m from Tampa and you are telling the truth!!! Once you reach West palm beach…you are in a different place…TBH, Florida can be split into 3 different states. Jacksonville/Tallahassee….Tampa/Orlando…South Florida are like distant cousins in culture 🤷🏾♀️🤣
I'm from Lakeland,FL, but I live in Tallahassee (stayed after graduating at FAMU). I tell people that are not familiar with the state all the time. The three regions of the state are totally different from each other. They even look different.
Exactly 💯
Well put. It's really daylight and dark
Im from WPB and agree with you
I’m from Duval and I agree !!
Miami Dade county put Ron Desantis right back in office. Check the math. Miami isn’t as blue as it used to be. Desantis effect will trickle down to Miami don’t be fooled.
I get it!! It’s like that in Philly. We don’t claim Pennsylvania. We from Philly, Philadelphia!!
I am a 50 yr old black straight woman born and raised in South Florida. I live in Wilton Manors. We call Miami little Cuba. Because that's mostly what's down there. They have all the little festivals down there but they also have the 1st 48 there every other episode too. Let's keep it real. I agree with some of what Funky says , but not all. We are all subject to the laws here in Florida. However the feeling in the all the counties are different. The people in Dade County are unhinged. The people in Broward County are situational hostages. The people in Palm Beach County are trying to get away. And the rest of the state feels like they are free from all the drama. That is Florida in a nut shell. Just keeping it real.😂
