Student Anti-Racism Rally

February 17th, 2012 by flanews

About 40 students from FAMU and FSU marched to the state capitol today to end, what they call, racist undertones in some political campaigns. The students called out GOP candidates for president that called Barack Obama the food stamp president. They also are taking issue with something Governor Rick Scott told FAMU students last year. Ciara Taylor says Scott tried to connect with black students by telling them he grew up in public housing.

“It is not acceptable, you do not talk about someone based on race, or religion, or age, or sexual orientation.” said Ciara.

Ciara was escorted out of a black history event by FAMU police earlier today, after speaking out at an event with Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll.
