The Florida arm of the NAACP wants its national board to issue a travel advisory for the state, urging Black people to avoid visiting or moving to the state of Florida in response to a slew of proposals put forth by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis that they say target Black history education and other diversity and inclusion initiatives throughout the Sunshine State.
“All of this is a tipping point,” Yvette Lewis, the NAACP Hillsborough County Branch president, told Yahoo News. “We encouraged more people to vote and that didn’t work because [extremist Republicans] gained more power and this is where we’re at. We had to take a strong stand because it has gone too far.”
Lewis, who leads the largest chapter in the state, presented the idea of an advisory to the NAACP Florida State Conference late last month after feeling as though all other options had been exhausted, and the group voted unanimously in favor of it. The recommendation will be reviewed by the national board of the NAACP when it reconvenes next month.

Can you imagine the difference in FLA today if Gillum had won the governorship over DeSantis?
We have plenty of good citizens of all races. The liberals are the problem.
Well all the theme parks should be that much safer
That's why the Florida Dimocrats rigged 2018 as hard as they could in Florida.
The blacks who heed the NAACP on this are exactly the types not wanted by sane people in Florida or anywhere else.
Well, that’s one way to ensure that the highest concentration of Conservative blacks reside in Florida.
Why pussyfoot around? go all the way and suggest not visiting the whole US since we are suppsoedly,zll so racist on the right? Funny how our “racist nation” is the one most chosen to storm the borders on.
Truth be told, Ron is likely doing more for minorities than liberal governors anywhere in the US! Trump certainly did a lot for them too, much more than liberal presidents ever did!
A “travel advisory?”
Pfft...whatever.
LOL. See my #7.
American Beach on Amelia Island was created specifically by and for blacks
You can imagine what it looks like now.
Even blacks won’t go there anymore
Maybe the biden voters can move to kali-fornia for the reparations.
Lucky Florida
My thoughts as well, more reason to go vacation there
Blacks vote for DEMOCRATS 85% of the time...same with Jews.
Which is why the Dems perpetuate race wars, they cannot survive otherwise.
If they really wanted to punish Florida they would leave the state and go where diversity is more encouraged- New York would welcome them!
I wonder how many blacks want the filth of the woke taught to their own kids?
Agreed, it’s those who claim to speak for the races who are causing the problems.
They should visit San Francisco, it would make them feel good.
