February is Black History Month…..So much for Black History in Orlando, Florida!
Thank you Fox News and Judge Napolitano!
Facts to mention about the destruction of this Parramore Church in Orlando for a Private Corporation – Major League Soccer (aka Welfare for Billionaires):
This church is located in a black community. Mayor Buddy Dyer D-Orlando and Mayor Teresa Jacobs - R- Orange County, are actively destroying what is left of this historic black community. Where is Al Sharpton now? Where is Orlando Council Woman Daisy Lynum - D? Fact is, these individuals do not care about destroying the history of this black community. This is Gentrification of this black community for a private pro-sports stadium the people of Orlando do NOT need and do NOT want.
There is a useless "Citrus Bowl" facility in Orlando that could easily be used for this purpose, but MLS wants taxpayers to build a facility to their specifications.
Orlando is NOT a sports town!! Just look at the Orlando Magic - NBA and the wasted tax dollars on their stadiums.
The City of Orlando, Orange County, FL, and the State of Florida constantly say they do not have enough money for roads, schools, law enforcement, etc. etc., but they always have money to waste on their political cronies/friends.
This is reckless, unethical use of eminent domain and tax dollars. The public needs churches much more than "Welfare for Billionaires" sports stadiums. For the public to be forced to pay for a sports stadium for a private corporation is ANTI-AMERICAN. AND this is destruction of the black history in Orlando. Outrageous!
Please keep reporting on this story. Both Mayor Dyer (D) and Mayor Jacobs (R) need to be given the pink slip!
