If your Black Americans Avoid moving to Orlando (Miami, Eatonville: amusement parks, homes)

[RWSWJ]

*

I'm from a big east coast city and when I travel around back up north a lot of people ask me what it's like to live in Florida. Especially black folks. I'm going to be straight up, if*your Black American I suggest you shouldn't consider moving to Orlando or Central Florida for that matter. Especially if your under 30. Here's why:


1- Job market is dismal and shrinking.

Florida has some the lowest wages in America

Everything else I say from this point is going to be based on my experience of living in Orlando for over half a decade as well as living in other parts of Central Florida for roughly another half-decade.

2- Orlando is relatively devoid of culture. Is mainly a tourist town it's a lot of attractions here that are mostly for the out-of-towners that come to see the mouse and go to the other not so amusing amusement parks. People talk about Eatonville but in reality it isn't much Black Culture here.


3- Job discrimination is opening in your face. It's not challenged or frowned upon. In FAQ one of the reasons why I specify black American it's because you rarely see any black Americans working in a lot of places here. You may come across some Caribbean black people but few American descendants of slaves.


4- The racism here is on the Jim Crow level in a lot of places. Especially North and South of Orange County.* Farther north you go to deeper in the South you are.


5- Lunatics abound in Florida. Just Google it . Florida tends to attract a lot of the dregs of society for whatever reason. Pedophiles and weirdos seem to have made a homestead here. Beastality and other ungodly practices seem to be common.

6- There is a good amount of tension between the non-white ethnic groups have. By some accounts is not as bad as they say Miami but it is very noticeable. There are many Puerto Ricans here. Some from the lsland of Puerto Rico some from the NY area. The ones that live in Orlando area or unlike some of the ones you will meet up north. They seem to really not like black people. So if your get on the* job with them don't* be surprised if they are scamming to get you fired. And if you go to the register at the gas station to pump gas they may throw your change back in your face. Some of them can pass for Black as well so they're prejudiced might confuse you.


There are also some South Americans here to they're not much different then Puerto Ricans from the islands. You also be surprised who considers themselves white here. It might be somebody that looks just like you but is classified as white. You'll find these Dynamics very peculiar yet interesting

Some of the West Indies live in in Orlando have a superiority complex or or just generally ignorant about Black American descendants of slaves culture and history. Among the West Indians hear the Haitians are the most look down upon and seem to be treated even worse then black Americans. However there still some division between there too.

7- While I don't have children I will say that the educational system he doesn't seem to be* good at all. And I'm just looking at the people who produces in this state. As I write this* post the state is considering putting in the teachers hands guns at schools here. How somebody thought that was a good idea I don't know.

I'm pretty sure this will generate a lot of discussion. I don't know how many people that visit this forum are actually black American descendants of slaves but if you considering moving to Orlando or Central Florida from another location these are a few things to consider.

most of your bullet points have nothing to do with race

I'm just speculating here, but the job market could be bad for you due to your lack of proficiency in the English language.

These are just examples of the first few things I noticed. You don't say what types of job you have applied for or are applying for, but if you're applying for clerical or administrative jobs employers expect a certain level of proficiency with the English language.

Apparently, it wasn't all that great where you come from either.

Good luck to you in whatever you decide to do. I'm sure Florida will mourn the loss of such an incredible citizen should you ever decide to move.

Ain't that serious. I was speaking into the text editor as opposed to writing in it. Got a lot of stuff to do today so I didn't have a whole lot of time to do a spell check. I guess this speech editor doesn't like my Brooklyn accent lol. I don't live in Orlando anymore I just get this question a lot.

Don't hold us all in suspense. What type of jobs did you do while there that you were confronted with this blunt racism in hiring practices? Inquiring minds want to know.

In bold is the real reason these type of posts are made. This generation loves their 15 minutes. Pathetic as they may be.
