Maybe Halley’s Comet is coming to America again. The City of Miami just voted in a non-Republican, non-ethnic white woman to be its mayor. Miami has a White non-Latin population of about 14 percent.
Like the African American population in Miami, White Americans have become an endangered species.
For the past forty years, significant issues have affected the Black American community in Miami.
A combination of factors, such as displacement due to urban development, violent incidents involving law enforcement, natural aging demographics, and gang-related violence, has contributed to a decline in their population.
For instance, according to a *Miami Herald* report, there were numerous cases of police interventions leading to community concerns.
Additionally, the economic pressures of rising living costs have often forced families to relocate.
To gain a more comprehensive view of the current situation, further detailed studies and statistics would be needed.
This event of a non-Latino Miami Mayor is the first in 28 years. Ohio-born Eileen Higgins pulled off what no other woman has since the City of Miami was incorporated 129 years ago by another woman from Ohio, Julia DeForest Tuttle.
Higgins, a seasoned politician with a background in local governance, has served on the Miami-Dade County Commission, where she focused on transportation, affordable housing, and environmental issues.
Her platform emphasizes community-led initiatives, transparency in city government, and sustainable growth for Miami’s diverse population.
Mayor-elect Higgins is known for her strong advocacy for sustainable urban development and transportation reform.
With a focus on expanding affordable housing initiatives, her leadership in the Miami-Dade County Commission has been notable.
Her commitment to addressing Miami’s diverse needs through transparent governance and community engagement sets a promising tone for her tenure.
Both Higgins and Caroline’s names sound they they were on the list of the Mayflower. When the mayor-elect talks, she sounds like your school principal from way back in the day.
Paradise Lost — Miami.
Mayor-elect Higgins promised to keep corruption out of Miami City Hall. But is it too late for Miami to be anything other than a bastion of corruption, a paradise lost? Just before the November 05, 2025, election, several Miami Commissioners attempted to move the election to November 2025.
Such a move would keep members of the current commission in office for at least one more year. Some of whom have been on the Miami Commission since 1979. Many stories have been written about Miami as a “paradise lost.” The city has come a long way, becoming a major American metropolis. The growth of the city was largely fueled by the drug money of the Cocaine Cowboys.
129 years after an Ohioan founded the City of Miami, Eileen Higgins, an Ohioan, became its first female mayor. Let’s hope she’s not the last one.
“Think globally, act locally.”
It is crucial to be forward-thinking but not a forward person. “Be kind to everyone you meet because each carries his heavy burden…” Plato.
Embrace the three Constants: change, justice, and rightness.
The thought police are busy at work trying to suppress free speech. If allowed their march to madness, they will arrest your very thoughts.
