In his victory speech after winning a second gubernatorial term in
November, Republican Ron DeSantis proclaimed his state of Florida is where
“woke goes to die.” He’s been at war with the ideology since his first
term, taking on some of the most powerful organizations, businesses and
politicians in the country promoting it and trying to spread the woke
virus to our children. He’s most famously been at odds with Disney, which
has increasingly injected woke messaging into its content marketed for
America’s kids.

The liberal media scoffed. No one’s pushing woke. He’s fighting a made-up
enemy.

It’s baloney — and Disney just proved it.

In a sinister cartoon airing on Disney+ called “The Proud Family: Louder
and Prouder,” the characters proclaim, “Slaves built this country, and we
the descendants of slaves in America have earned reparations for their
suffering and continue to earn reparations every moment we spend submerged
in a systemic prejudice, racism and white supremacy that America was
founded with and still has not atoned for.”

The show is a reboot of a popular show from 20 years ago, right around
when the parents of Disney+’s audience were children themselves. Trying to
tap into their parents’ nostalgia, Disney is using the trust established
by the original brand and squandering it; using animated characters to
promote its version of history through a woke and critical-race-theory
prism.

The characters go on to denigrate President Abraham Lincoln and compare
slavery to modern-day racial controversies. “We had Tubman, Turner,
Frederick D. Then they say Lincoln freed the slaves, but slaves were men
and women and only we can free ourselves. Emancipation is not freedom,”
they sang. “Jim Crow, segregation, redlining, public schools feeding
private prisons where we become slaves again.”

This isn’t education. It’s indoctrination.

Almost everyone can agree that, of course, we should be teaching the next
generation about the evils of slavery and how its existence was part of
American history since before the Founding. The problem is the woke only
want their version of history taught: through the lens of critical race
theory, where whiteness is evil and must be atoned for.

DeSantis recently went to war with another powerful American entity, the
College Board, over its inclusion of critical race theory in an Advanced
Placement course on African-American history. DeSantis’ threats to
withdraw the course from Florida’s curriculum offerings were successful,
and NPR reported last week the company buckled and shifted gears: “In the
official [revised] framework made public, topics such as Black Lives
Matter, slavery reparations and queer theory are no longer subjects to be
taught.”

This is how opponents of wokeness win: by going into battle, guns blazing.
DeSantis knows the winning formula, and his successes are part of why he
was so overwhelmingly re-elected.

DeSantis is using the same playbook in his war against Disney. As the news
broke about this Disney+ show, the governor’s office is simultaneously
taking aim at the entertainment giant’s bottom line.

His office announced, “Florida is dissolving the Corporate Kingdom by
permanently eliminating Disney’s self-governing status, appointing a
state-controlled board accountable to Floridians that can impose taxes on
Disney for infrastructure projects, and ensuring Disney pays its own
debts!”

The woke war against our kids is unrelenting and takes no prisoners.
Conservatives can only win the fight by making its proponents go on
defense, instead of constantly allowing them an offensive advantage. Gov.
DeSantis recognizes this, and his fellow Republicans should be taking
notes.

However systemic prejudice and racism is perfectly acceptable with directed
towards whites, and pushing for non-white supremacy is now an accepted
political agenda?

Those seeking reparations weren't those harmed, and those that would be made
to pay the reparations aren't those that did the harm.

However, while we're discussing this. Consider how much Democrats and the
Democratic Party was involved in systemic prejudice, racism and white
supremacy in the US.. exactly how many Billions or Trillions of dollars does
the DNC and other Democrats plan to pay out of their own pocket for the harm
that the Democratic party and Democrats have done to such people?

When they make their reparations, and not before, then I might consider
their message of any value.

So come on Democrats give to the DNC until it HURTS... so they can give all
your money away to those harmed by Democrats both through the direction
actions of Democrats, and the legal actions taken by Democrat politicians.

Bet they won't follow through on their message.. they only want an excuse to
rob Peter to pay Paul and suck up at certain percentage for themselves.
