NAACP says Florida is ‘actively hostile’ to minorities and issues travel warning (deserves own thread)

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has issued a travel advisory for the state of Florida, calling the state “actively hostile” to minorities as Florida’s conservative government limits diversity efforts in schools.

 

Other groups have also warned against travel to Florida. Equality Florida, an LGBTQ+ advocacy group, issued a travel advisory in April because of laws targeting LGBTQ+ rights, the Washington Post reported.

In a separate advisory, the Florida Immigrant Coalition said “traveling to Florida is dangerous”, warning that people of color, international travelers and those with an accent faced a higher risk of racial profiling and harassment.

The NAACP previously issued travel warnings in 2017 for Missouri over the death of a Black man in a jail and racist threats going unchecked on college campuses in that state, Time reported. Black drivers in Missouri were also stopped 75% more than white drivers, according to a 2016 report from the state attorney general’s office that the advisory referenced.

 

What kind of a focked up world do we live in? :doh:

Seems a little extreme, and somewhat partisan, to issue a “travel warning”. 
 

That being said, I do imagine that many college students will be turned off by the growing anti-intellectual push of red states and seek their education elsewhere. And that’s sad.

Does that mean there will be fewer family on family brawls at Walt Disney World?  Or do those only happen at Disneyland?

I find the educational anti-intellectual push comment interesting in a day and age where I see university upon university stiffling free speech in favor of an orthodoxy.  The marketplace of ideas now is only allowed to sell generic items.

When it says people of color, what color are they talking about?

As someone who is making the move to Florida in 3-4 months I’d like to thank them. I hope they spread the word to the illegal new arrivals 

 

the less people moving there the better

Maybe Desantis should issue a travel warning for Orlando.

What’s hilarious is you’ve got actual black people in Florida laughing at these “advisories” and telling people that the DNC is doing nothing but lying cause Florida is still the same :lol:

Nah give it a little while longer. Let the liberals talk so much crap about Florida and get then to leave. House prices will go down. Especially if Disney decides to leave

Only pusssy college students.   And the liberal states can have them.   Liberals are lazy focks. 


Look around society.  Looks at the folks who are on government assistance, food stamps, etc.    They are all liberal/dem voters. 


Anyone disagree?  (and before some retard from the corner of the room yells "I know a guy who votes Trump who is lazy", by all I mean nearly all)

So says the guy who thinks ramming frozen ketchup packets up their ass, waiting for them to melt then proclaiming "I had my period" is right of passage.

I literally would rather dig a hole, fill it with money, and just set it on fire than go to a Disney park.

More race card bullshit. The left has nothing else. The NAACP is a joke. A group of thugs at BLM usurped them in short order.

My mind immediately went to this.  I wonder, why the NAACP would purposely harm these businesses.  Here we have evidence of AA success, and the NAACP is willing to sacrafice this success to serve a political master.

If you are AA and see this, you should emphatically turn away from this entity.

Imagine the consternation of Florida residents if they don't get to experience this behavior next year.

 

What they needed was a social worker to de-esclalate the situation, I did not see anyone asking those poor aggressors if they needed help or anything.....😔

DeSantis is brilliant. Not only does he win with his policies, but they also have the effect of making the state even more red.  And safer.  Brilliant I say.
