Leon W. Russell lives in Florda, the very state he says is too dangerous for blacks to travel to. Womp, wompppppppp.

I don't understand the "Womp, wompppppp" reference, here.

Russell didn't recently move to Florida. He's lived here for decades - at least since the 1980's. Florida used to be a Democratic state, and then a somewhat 'purple' one.

So if your home state has become more dangerous for blacks to travel to, why would the credibility of that warning be undermined by the fact that you live there? Lots and lots of people choose to "stay and fight" when things they think are bad start happening to their home city/state/country, so the fact that he continues to live here isn't at all inconsistent with his assessment that things are dangerous for black people.

Could you explain what you think the argument is?
