There should be nothing short of a mass exodus of African Americans out of Florida.

What the hell are they waiting for? The state has issued a "free license to kill any black person" statue with SYG.

Get. The. Hell. Out.

That is exactly what the racists would like. The SYG would have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.


Years ago, all over the South, one would see bumper stickers and other types of signs saying, "Dixie, love it or get your ass
out." Their purpose was obvious, since you don't agree with racism and other beliefs held by many White, you should leave.
Most Blacks and Liberals did not leave. They stayed and tried to improve the situation. Dixie was their home as well. No one
had a right to exclude anyone from residing there.


The SYG law is basically as bad as you have described it. However, I predict that the law will either be removed or modified. It isn't likely to last in it's present form. Even Florida is not that stupid.
