It is always amazing when White politicians find themselves in jeopardy of not obtaining sufficient votes from the populace will usually begin to assiduously seek the votes of Black citizens even though the causes and concerns of this minority group are generally never previously mentioned by such politicians when times are good. Case in point, Marco Rubio is one of many politicians that is the epitome of this hypocrisy. Mr. Rubio was born in Miami and has lived in Miami for too many years to not be familiar with the crime issues that have plagued the Black population over the years and even more so now with the recent spate of killings of so many young people. Furthermore, he is aware of the Haitian immigrants issues that have been ongoing for a number of years. However, Mr. Rubio has never shown an interest in the Black population. He has never participated in yearly events, such as MLK parades, attended by other politicians; he has never been seen at a meeting to address the spate of gun violence; he has never visited the opening of a business venture that caters to uplifting education or employment of the Black community; he has never made an effort to get involved in showing a sense of interest in the issues involving the large Black population of Miami Dade. Yet, he expects that the visit of Senator Mia Love, will be a great influence on bringing him Black votes especially from Haitian American since Love's parents are from Haiti. He believes that that Ms. Love, a Republican Utah senator, who is an unknown politician within the South Florida community, will miraculously turn Black voters in his favor. Another politician insulting Black people's intelligence.
