NAACP issues travel advisory for Florida, saying the state is 'openly hostile toward African Americans' under Gov. DeSantis' administration

MIAMI -- Another advocacy group is warning people of color about traveling to Florida – but for different reasons.

The NAACP issued a travel advisory for the state "in direct response to Governor Ron DeSantis' aggressive attempts to erase Black history and to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in Florida schools," the group said in a written statement Saturday.

The announcement came days after LULAC – the League of United Latin American Citizens – issued a travel advisory for Florida after DeSantis signed a new immigration law that will go into effect in July.

Both LULAC and the NAACP say actions under the DeSantis administration are "hostile" to their communities.

"Florida is openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals," the NAACP said. "Before traveling to Florida, please understand that the state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color."

Days before the announcement. And exactly what Mark Levin pointed out last summer. You think you’re going to get rid of Donald Trump and then put DeSantis in office? It isn’t going to work. They will do the same to DeSantis that they did to Trump. Because that’s what Marxists do. DeSantis has many flaws and tons of baggage of his own AND he lost MAGA. DeSantis is unelectable.

Didn’t the commies try to get Blacks on board during and just after the Depression? I wonder how far the bastards would have gotten if it wasn’t for WWII.

I’m thinking play time is over for Governor Ron.

Oh wait, he has magic dust and everyone loves him. The media won’t go after him. The democrats will fall under his spell.

But, but he hasn’t even announced yet.

The NAAWP needs to issue an “advisory” advising white people not to go to Florida unarmed.

The NAACP long ago quit representing “Colored People” and long ago became a Leftist political agitation group.

There are about 40 million “blacks” in the U.S.

About 70% of the population is adult age.

70% of 40 million is qbout 28 million.

The NAACP has at best about 0.5 million members.

That’s just a little over ONE PERCENT of the black adult population.

The NAACP represents ITSELF, its agenda and NOTHING else.

Because you are prevented from teaching “critical race theory” you’re being erased? I don’t think so.
