Federal appeals court narrowly blocks controversial Florida law barring Chinese land ownership
www.politico.com
"This prohibition blatantly violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s protection against discrimination," Judge Nancy Abudu wrote.

A federal appeals court blocked a racist Florida law that restricts Chinese citizens from buying land from being enforced against the two people who sued the state. The court did not, however, block the law entirely; it’s still in effect for everyone else. One of the judges, Nancy Abudu, agreed that this was a blatant violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, and the ACLU of Florida intends to continue fighting to prevent this law from being enforced more broadly.

This fight isn’t over, but this decision certainly acknowledges the discriminatory nature of this law and is a big win.

    Oh no poor little lonely settler colony US of A is being colonized by the compradors of it’s neocolonies.

    They abuse our environmental and water usage laws and regulations, destroying our environment and using up our water.

    Jfc the gall of yanks.

    The US itself is an abuse of the country and an affront to humanity. It’s citizens unable to see the irony of genociding the indigenous people and wantonly destroying the environment and then getting upset that foreign capital does the exact thing that US imperialism is set up to achieve.

    Your problem is not with Indians or Saudi Arabians. It’s with capitalism. It doesn’t matter who owns the property. The problem that you dislike is the fact that private property exists in the first place. If you put the racism down and step away from it, you might see that more clearly.

      I never once said anything about race, you stupid, gaslighting tankie fuck. You are scum. You are ALL scum. FUCK Russia, and fuck your little bitchdog Pootin. And since this article is about China, fuck Xinnie the Pooh and the CCP. I don’t have a problem with ANY race, I have a problem with any culture or government that seeks to fuck with other countries and cultures. Maybe if you didn’t have your head so far up dictators’ asses, you could see that more clearly.

      Edit: And yes, I DO have a problem with capitalism, but communism can fuck right off with.

        You were moaning about Indians and Saudi Arabians owning property in the US. Well, you did that thing where you said the countries owns the property, rather than the people. At the same time as saying you don’t mind foreigners so long as they’re asylum seekers, implying that they must stay begging and desperate. Which is to say, your issue is with foreigners, not foreign states, owning US property.

        Okay, the article is about China. So why did you bring up foreign capital within the US?

        On that topic of China, you don’t have a problem with any race but you find it acceptable to refer to a Chinese person using a racist caricature.

        And why are you now bringing up Russia? What does Russia have to do with this?

        It doesn’t matter whether you said anything about race in specific terms. I’m telling you that your comment is racist and relies on a racist framework. It’s okay if you didn’t understand this before but now that it’s been explained, it’s time to look inwards. You can choose to learn from this experience and grow or you can continue promoting the US brand of racist exceptionalism.

        I have a problem with any culture or government that seeks to fuck with other countries and cultures.

        Then I look forward to hearing about your escapades against the US and everything it stands for.

          I will not address your race-baiting instigation. I will say one last thing, then you can go catch a drone round care of Ukraine. I will never betray my homeland (you know, where I was born, not having any say in the matter), I will fight to make it better. That includes taking out the tankie trash that’s trying to influence it and tear it down. Now go masturbate to your posters of Marx and Lennin while you sob with tears and snot dripping down your face.

            Blaming foreigners for your problems is racist. I don’t know what else to say.

            I wish you luck in fighting to make it better. But you should know that you won’t achieve it by blaming foreigners for the problems of capitalism.

              Based on how scratched this liberal is, I’m guessing their “fight” involves a lot of final solutions.

              Good thing they’re just an impotent internet edgelord, I hope they go back to reddit, they’re clearly unhappy here.

        Damn, we need an emoji that’s just like :lib: but scratched. Who even mentioned Russia?

        The sheer Statesianess of saying “I don’t care about race” within the same paragraph as referencing a racist caricature.

        If you have such a problem with “governments that seek to fuck with other countries and cultures”, maybe you should educate yourself on what your homeland you so adore has done just within the 50 ten years?

        It can be overwhelming, there’s so much horrifying shit. Maybe pick a small region first. I’d suggest Central America. El Salvador, Grenada and Haiti are right there. Or you can just look up Operation Condor if you’re feeling ambitious.

        I’m sure your devoted love to Turtle Island will continue unshaken if you earnestly try to confront its (recent) history. That’s just sarcasm, I highly doubt you’ll ever critically evaluate your own state and state-approved ideology.

        Sometimes I think you people deserve this imagined foreign-backed plots and destruction y’all keep inventing to justify your own incompetence and white supremacy. Good luck fighting your great imagined war against foreign capital, I’m sure all the homeless immigrants will be proud of your national heorism.

          I am not going over this shit with another fucking wumao bitch. The Winnie the Pooh thing was created BY THE CHINESE PEOPLE. It’s not racist. I’m not wasting my time with your shitty mental gymnastics so just eat shit and die.

            Literally trying to insult an Asian person by comparing them to a yellow cartoon bear is not really a good look, specially given all the homophobia you’ve also been leaking all over the place.

            Given you ignored the rest of the entire comment, I assume I was right and your hate of “evil governments” only applies to foreign ones. Typical gringo.

            But please, your time is way better spent defending your homeland from foreign hordes than debating silly commies on the internet. Go get 'em soldier!

            Please ask your friends or relatives if they believe that you have anger issues. This is not a joke, and I am not telling you this in an attempt to make you look worse or make myself look better. I am seriously disturbed reading your replies; nobody needs to get this angry over this topic.

            I know that there’s a low chance that you’ll take my advice, but all that I’m asking is that you ask your friends or relatives about your anger. That is it; you don’t need to do anything else. Are you willing to try that? Please think about it.

                Go suck Pootin’s tiny dick.

                Lib discovers Lemmygrad and immediately starts using homophobic rhetoric, instance no. 127.

                  I wonder how interesting would it be to actually have a bot to keep count of typical lib shit. These people think they’re so original, I think it’d be cool to automatically keep them a bit grounded.

                    A bot that would check the lib argument for keywords and post a response to the lib would be great. They only have maybe half a dozen “arguments” and then another half dozen “scratched lib” responses, so being able to just give them either a list of info on the topic or a comeback to their vitriol would great. I’d love to see a lib going full on freakout mode and arguing back and forth with a bot for hours.

                  Tankie who doesn’t know fuck-all about somebody tries to label them as something they are not and twist their words to make them out to be awful, instance no. 2985673. Look, bitch, you won’t win with me. I REALLY don’t give a fuck anymore and I’m beyond fed up with you tankie ху́йла. I can’t wait for Pootin to push too far and the sane part of the world can wipe you fuckers off the map.

                    “Nonono, you don’t get it: telling someone to go suck a dick is not homophobic if the person in question is an enemy of the white, enlightened and civilized west.”
