Coral Gables Election: NOT ONE CANDIDATE (7)

has been willing to take on the issue of whether police kneeling at the BLM protest in Coral Gables was right or not. Not a single candidate was able to take on racism in the City of Coral Gables. Most seemed to treat kneeling as a temporary publicity act than a meaningful and permanent respect for the BLM movement.

No candidate has said “BLM,” as discrimination against Blacks or has referred to the deeper issue of police targeting and mistreating Blacks, especial Black males. Indeed we have heard the use of the term “community” to politely, awkwardly and indirectly refer to Black residents and greater community.
