NAACP to Black People: Stay Out of Florida
Is it “safe” to be black in Florida?
America’s oldest and largest civil and human rights organization, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), is warning black people everywhere against traveling to Florida.
This “advisory” is also inclusive of all other “minorities” because Florida is “actively hostile” in its “conservative” government’s putsch to eliminate altogether any efforts to achieve racial, cultural, social, political…and especially, economic diversity. Florida, under Governor Ron DeSantis, has placed a special emphasis against enriching the lives of all its citizens by essentially declaring war on state-supported schools, from K-12 to and including Ph.D. programs.
The NAACP’s press release details and chronicles the fact that since his recent gerrymandered/voter-suppressed and thus “successful” re-election, DeSantis has been unrelenting in his “attempts to erase Black history and to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in Florida schools.”
Further, sayeth the NAACP:
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.
