The National Association on the Advancement of the Colored People (NAACP) released a warning to black people this week against traveling to Florida.
The warning was sent this week and is “being brought in direct reaction to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ [R-FL] bold efforts to wipe out Black history and to prohibit inclusion, equity, and diversity programs in Florida schools.” Black people visiting the Sunshine State are advised to be on the lookout for “open hostility” aimed at persons of color, according to the organization.
The organization stated that DeSantis had signed multiple “anti-civil rights” laws into law in the letter. The Stop W.O.K.E Act, which forbids instructors from introducing critical race theory in K–12 classrooms, was signed by the governor of Florida. In addition, it would outlaw the employment of lecturers in critical race theory by colleges and schools. Furthermore, DeSantis prohibited the teaching of an AP African American Studies class in public schools. The governor said that although he was not against schools educating about black history, he did not want them to promote an ideology or enforce “some repetitive talking points” on “political disputes of the day.”
“Let me be clear — failing to provide pupils with a true understanding of the horrific events and the inequalities that the Black Americans have endured and keep on dealing with is a disadvantage to students and a dereliction of responsibility to all,” said Derrick Johnson, the president, and chief executive officer of the NAACP. He went on:
“Under Governor Desantis’ direction, Florida has become antagonistic toward Black Americans and has strayed far from the democratic principles upon which our union was established. He ought to be aware that democracy will triumph because its supporters are willing to stand up and fight for it. We won’t give up and call on our allies to join us in the struggle for the very spirit of our country.
The Constitutional Carry Law, which permits citizens to carry a concealed handgun without a permit, was another argument made by NAACP. The legislation will become operative on July 1. Greg Jackson, executive director of Community Justice Action Fund, said that this legislation “disproportionately endangers the vulnerable Brown and Black communities.”
The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) also issued a travel warning owing to the signing of a new immigration bill, which was followed by the NAACP.
When state NAACP leadership initially proposed issuing a travel warning to the state, it was first discussed in March. It was a joke, according to DeSantis.
“This is a ruse to attempt to achieve that. It’s just a stunt, and that’s okay if you want to spend your time on one, added DeSantis. I’m not spending my time watching your shenanigans, however.
Many others have defended DeSantis after hearing about the travel warning, including the black comedy twins Keith and Kevin Hodge.
The state’s tourist department estimates that tourism will contribute $101.9 billion to the state’s economy in 2021.
If Blacks and their Perverted Gay Fellow Travelers avoid Florida, the streets will be much cleaner, less crime, and less child molesting and perversions…
I say Go Ron Go…keep them at bay…
I agree!! The real people we need to watch out for are those corrupt and woke – and for heaven’s sake, watch your precious children!!!
Like any of these people of color were alive during slavery times. Abolishing slavery was their reparation , any monies that are given out after that massive move to give blacks their freedom is rhetoric and as far as I’m concerned vote buying and should also be outlawed by DeSantis and anyone else with a brain. I want reparations for listening to their blatant bias. It’s time to move on people. The only party controlling your movements is the same demoncrat party that locked you down and made you get a fraudulent clot shot as a way to control the population. How bout we get reparations for the constitutional failures of our leaders during covid. Can you say physically damaging clot shot in the name of safety after they unleashed a man made virus. There’s your reparations due, to every citizen affected, black, brown and white we all got screwed by this holyer than thou attitude of liberal liars.
