Are you from Florida?

36. Don't worry, you're not the only one getting tired of the sanctimonious crap

Blue staters who think their state is immune to racism or bad jury decisions really have their head up their arse. They might want to watch that episode of 'What would you do?' from Central Park to see the reactions when a white boy, an ethnic boy, and a white girl each try to steal a bicycle before giving themselves a congratulatory pat on the back for living in their beloved jewel of a "blue" state.

Boycott Florida (or GA/MS/LA/TX/AZ etc) and you'll be boycotting the places in the country where many minorities live. Would you really rather spend your money in one of Mr Trump's Manhattan hotels in January or stay at a mom and pop owned place in Clearwater? And don't think for a second your money will get out of "Republican" hands, god that's so stupid, the Marriot's will take your money anywhere in the country, they don't care where, and give it to whichever political candidate who will further their agenda. What you will be doing is hurting a lot of people who could use some help but oh no, no no no no no I can't go to Florida because, umm, well, ummm, I don't agree with six women down there.

For the record I'm not from Florida but love parts of the state. Yes some areas are crazy but try taking a nice beach vacation in California or Oregon (can you say hypothermia?). Believe it or not some of us actually like the tropics and its weather and wonderful plants and creatures and FL is the only place in the lower 48 where you can find them. Sure Puerto Rico and Hawaii are nicer but see how well your Buick does getting to those places. It's a unique state, where else can you see North America dissolve into the Caribbean? Anyone who can't see the uniqueness of the state has absolutely NO appreciation of nature or ecosystems. It's really sad to see so-called "enlightened" people who think the country would be better off if we didn't have the Everglades because it has, you know, alligators and mosquitos. It scares me to death to think what they would want to do with many of the other places on the planet which aren't deemed worthy.
