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.

Does this mean that crime will go down in Florida?
Black people in Florida need to drink more Busch beer.
NAACP to blacks: Too much swimming in Florida.
I am a caucasion that self identifies as black. Will I be able to come to FLA?
Why are they trying to keep other black people out of Florida? Greed? Sounds like the NAACP?
“Even blacks won’t go there anymore”
Lol—reminds me of some middle class blacks in the area who refuse to ride city buses because of all the uh folks on the buses....
(Hint: they can say the word but I am not allowed to...)
;-)
Have the white side ask the black side what to do. Then have the black side do the same. You now have the answer.
What?
Black visitors were the ones causing the Spring Break problems here in Florida.
This is a wonderful idea. Next year, spring break in Miami will not be marred by black violence.
Expect foreign born blacks, grateful to be in the USA and places where they won’t be mugged, to ignore NAACP victimology.
Will their be a manitory nostril diameter size check at the FLA border?
Ah, more segregationist wisdom from the North American Association of Colored Pimps.
Fixed it.
At first glance, this purported travel advisory seems racist.
If I understand, the national association told blacks not to come to Florida because state policies would harm them; harm them bad.
Wouldn’t Florida’s supposed racist policies also hurt visiting whites, particularly women, children, and the poor? Why didn’t the national association give whites the same travel advisory - to protect them from evil?
Perhaps the national association is not into protecting everyone equally.
More likely they are not developmental enough to understand their rhetoric repudiates their own stated beliefs.
No problem.
Thanks NAACP.

Winning!
That can't be - media reports of violence, looting and mayhem showed only White college kids in the photos.
I'm sure Daytona Beach was glad to hear this - black bike week already slated for 2024 needs to be canceled.
I'll bet South Carolina would like NAACP to make the same declaration about their state to eliminate black bike week in Myrtle Beach.
Has the NAACP explained why 13% of the population causes over 50% of the violent crime?
