Culture War
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has sparked a culture war and is conducting both a political and PR campaign against "diversity, equity and inclusion, and critical race theory." Whether he believes his message or not, he is providing harbor to those who don't want to learn about systemic racism in American society. Admittedly, it is a tough subject, and it requires looking at laws, regulations and business practices that excluded blacks from full participation in American life. DeSantis' view is that such an approach is wrong and insidious. The question is whether he is too late with this campaign or whether he can carry enough voters with him in his quest for the White House. Has the majority of citizens moved on and accepted the view that for many generations America has discriminated against African Americans and denied them their freedom? In months to come, we will know, first in Florida and then, in other states.
