This is the worst racism I have ever seen, in Orlando I mean. And I have lived in Philly, New York, Toronto, London (UK), Windsor (Ontario). Has there been racism in these other places? Yeah, you can find it there. But Orlando? Man this place is in a whole other class by itself.

My experience with Orlando has been so bad that I plan to get back over the Mason-Dixon line and never step foot in the South again.

Enjoy lol, one thing that annoys me are people who complain all the time but don't get off their lazy butts and do something about it. It isn't that difficult to move cities or states in 2015.

And yet another new troll with some 'alternative universe' sense of reality hell-bent on discrediting Orlando and the rest of a huge region for some twisted, unknown reason.

You really joined this board to race-bait, and pathetically attempt to smear Orlando with this lie? Really?

Your entire short posting history displays a sad and divisive agenda, and it does NOT apply to the reality on the ground in Orlando. Period.

You're a race-baiter, and are poisonous in my opinion.

As a Hispanic American I have NEVER witnessed nor partaken in this so called "Racial Tension" described by the OP, in fact, I am part of a professional association of "minorities" and BOTH Latinos and Blacks are proud members and embrace each other as we technically fall under the same umbrella group of "minorities" when compared with our White Caucasian counterparts.. Perhaps instead of trying to create a false situation that does not exist, maybe we should focus on the real issue of racial inequality for BOTH Latinos and Blacks when it comes to corporate America.. My current employer which happens to be a FORTUNE 500 company has historically had an executive board that consists of 100% White Caucasian persons, not a single qualified minority has ever been allowed the opportunity to be on this board.. Now that is a REAL issue..

I took people from up north to get the ball rolling on this Treyvon Martin case. Hate to say it, but many of the brothers down here are really slow witted.

Slow witted you say?? Thats very interesting comment. How can you prove this?

wow this thread needs to CLOSE-- Orlando is diverse and people come from all over bringing their fears with them -- I have lived in lot of places, In PA in the 60's I know what that means - and if it is here in Orlando its sublime for the most part. JAX has a definite dived line. and Tampa doesn't like anyone- There will be pockets of haters as long as people are on this earth- just ignore them --

Latino racism against blacks, in Orlando, is the secret most are scared to talk about.
