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."

As a Floridian, this may very well be the 1st time I’ve ever agreed anything the naacp has ever done! GREAT JOB...KEEP IT UP! LOL!!!
African-Americans. Aside from products of mixed marriages and generations away from any African heritage, what is their connection to Africa?
OK so less blacks in Florida is a bad thing?
How soon before Trump tweets about he agrees with NAACP?
The lame stream media Is openly hostile to Americans and the American way of life and the American dream.
How many more times are we going to see this disgusting codswallop posted on these pages?
What do suburban women & independent voters think of this?
My observations in Florida are everything is run by Hispanics and blacks.
“Oh wait, he has magic dust and everyone loves him. The media won’t go after him. The democrats will fall under his spell.”
I acknowledge that there may be others, but personally I’m not aware of anyone saying that other than anti-Desantis commenters on FR.
... Making Florida safer for everyone!
Roots.
If I recall correctly, decades ago, Jesse Jackson urged us all to refer to black/Negro people, as “African Americans”, and the description caught on.
Such people are African-Americans in the same manner as many Americans can be said to be “European-Americans”, based on the ancestral home of their ancestors who came to America.
I’ll believe this warning has legs when most Florida universities cancel their sports programs for lack of athletes
Sounds good to me, now has GLAAD or whatever the gay crowd calls itself issued its travel advisory yet?
You really wanna move to a state that’s prone to hurricanes, the tornadoes that they spawn, sink holes, water moccasins, alligators, mosquitoes and is the lightning strike capitol of the country???
And that’s just a short list of dangers that lurk there.
I couldn’t recommend anyone even visiting there much less MOVING there.......bad juju my friend. 👎👎👎
Lucky FLA
The NAACP is a hate group. Their goal has always been to increase division.
This will make tourism increase in FL>
