No evidence of racism in FL. but there is a Southern jurisdiction where Black voters HAVE JUST BEEN disenfranchised:

In a 1994 referendum, voters in the District of Columbia gave 62%
approval to a referendum limiting members of the D.C. Council to two
consecutive four-year terms. Now the council has decided to dissolve the
people and elect a new one. "Nine of the council's 13 members--a veto-proof
majority--voted to abolish term limits for the mayor, the council and the
four elected members of the D.C. Board of Education," the Washington Post
reports. "They argued that the 1994 measure was on shaky constitutional
ground and interfered with the right of D.C. residents to choose their
leaders." It's the first time an elected body has overturned a
voter-approved term-limit measure anywhere in America.
