Response to Jacksonville Shooting
During a shooting in Jacksonville, Florida, a white man killed three Black individuals before taking his own life. President Biden condemned white supremacy and emphasized the need to combat hate. However, some politicians, such as Florida State Representative Angie Nixon, blamed Governor Ron DeSantis, claiming he had created an environment conducive to such acts through his policies. Representative Nixon and others accused DeSantis of pushing anti-Black policies and race-baiting. These claims are seen as politically motivated, targeting DeSantis and reflecting the ongoing polarization in American politics. It is important to note that this incident does not represent the overall racial climate in the country.
