Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has cemented his national profile by falsely claiming that "Florida is where woke goes to die".
The Florida Black Business Loan Program claims to offer alternative lending solutions to "Florida-based, black owned small businesses" by providing short-term loans and technical assistance.
"The Black Business Loan Program is established in the department, which shall annually certify eligible recipients and subsequently disburse funds appropriated by the Legislature, through such eligible recipients, to black business enterprises that cannot obtain capital through conventional lending institutions but that could otherwise compete successfully in the private sector."
Despite signing off on a budget that includes funding for Florida's woke Black Business Loan Program, Ron DeSantis recently called critical race theory "Pernicious" ideology.
DeSantis routinely talks about merit on the campaign trail regarding education, but the continued funding of Florida's Black Business Loan program proves that he doesn't have the same regard for merit when it comes to entrepreneurship and business ownership.
While the Black Business Loan program was not created under the DeSantis administration, it has certainly expanded under DeSantis.
In another act of hypocrisy, Ron DeSantis has publicly expressed outrage against Blackrock over its stance on ESG and D.E.I. However, the existence of this little known state operated and taxpayer funded organization appears to be another instance of the DeSantis administration and the DeSantis for President campaign having very different public and private faces.
