Here is what DeSantis said.
"Let’s build off the success we’ve had on Gov. Scott. The last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases bankrupting the state. That is not going to work,".
How is the above racist?

I can't remember a time in my 64 years when I've heard anyone say 'don't monkey this up'. Having lived in Florida 9 years, I assure you it's not just a Florida thing. Don't screw it up, don't **** this up, don't mess this up... yes I have heard these.
The use of 'monkey' when referring to the policies of an African American looks incredibly insensitive.

I hear it all the time in Massachusetts, and several variations of it. You think your special, we can get any monkey on 28 to do that job.
Several things from New England your not likely to hear like "Cool Beans" and other sayings while working in Boston for 25 years.
So do not take it personal but slightly younger and have heard that exactly and more.

Howard Cosell describing the Washington Redskins black WR Alvin Garrett as a "little monkey" got him in trouble back in rhe day.
As for Florida I was getting these slick full color oversized mailers for a couple of Democratic candidates, Philip Levine and Jeff Greene a couple of times per week.God knows how much that cost, not to mention the countless TV ads.Greene was trying to portray Levine as Trump in Democrats clothing.I stopped paying attention after awhile.

He is referring to how well things are going in the Florida economy. To" monkey this up" is a phrase often shortened from " throwing a monkey wrench" into something already functioning properly.
p.s. If you hear the word monkey and immediately think african -american person, you're the racist, Dummies.

I couldn’t figure out why he even brought up monkey. So I did some digging and found out he is a black candidate lol. I didn’t even know the color of his skin. It certainly didn’t matter to me

It is not.
Some folks lack reading comprehension, or, they like to twist words in an effort to stir things up because they have no game otherwise.

The racist part is those who say it is racist.
What a low opinion they have of Black people.

It gets possibly worse for Desantis.

Standard case of Republican candidates saying stupid stuff...
Like when the Tea Party ousted the solid Red seat of Lugar to run Richard "Rape Baby" Mourdock and give away a seat.
Ironically, Mourdock and Donnelly, his challenger, had the EXACT SAME position on the issue... just one of them was stupid enough to say it though...
Sometimes we just can't help ourselves...
