Ron DeSantis Pushes Florida Bill to Protect White People From 'Guilt' About Racist Past

Governor Ron DeSantis' attempts to ban critical race theory in Florida moved forward on Tuesday as an education panel gave first approval to a bill that would prohibit schools and private businesses from making people feel "guilt" about the country's racist past.

The state's Republican-controlled Senate Education Committee approved the legislation—called "Individual Freedom"—in a vote along party lines.

The bill would bar employers from subjecting "any individual, as a condition of employment, membership, certification, licensing, credentialing or passing an examination, to training, instruction, or any other required activity" that promotes certain concepts related to race and racism.

For instance, it would prohibit employers from providing training that "espouses, promotes, advances, inculcates, or compels" people to believe they bear "responsibility for, or should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment because of, actions committed in the past by other members of the same race, color, sex, or national origin."

It also prohibits making people "feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race, color, sex, or national origin."

So, is he going to abolish the very concept of "whiteness", which has inflicted, and continues to inflict, so much psychological and physical distress on people across the world?

State Senator Shevrin Jones, the sole Black lawmaker on the Florida education committee, told the Associated Press the legislation was designed to make white people "not feel bad about what happened years ago" and would lead to censorship in schools.

Yes, Westerners accuse us of destroying history--meanwhile, they are the ones who attempt to make it illegal to actually study real history.

But State Senator Manny Diaz, a Republican lawmaker and the bill's sponsor, told the AP that the legislation was not about ignoring the "dark" parts of American history, but ensuring that people were not blamed for the nation's past sins.

Those who perpetuate and admire Western Civilization continue the perpetuation of the same evil that caused those tragedies in the past. So long as people remain Confederate sympathizers, white supremacists, and carriers of Western Civilization, we are still fighting the same battle as the past. What's going on now is merely a continuation.

So, yes, "whites" and Westerners can 100% be blamed for everything that happened in the past, since they embrace it and do all in their power to keep the injustice going.
