The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) recently ignited a storm of controversy by issuing a politically motivated travel advisory against the state of Florida and its Republican Governor, Ron DeSantis, who is also rumored to be a potential presidential candidate in 2024.
In their advisory notice, the NAACP expressed concern over what they perceive as a direct assault on the rights of Black Americans and other minorities by Governor DeSantis’ administration. The civil rights organization cautioned individuals considering a trip to Florida, highlighting what they described as open antagonism towards African-Americans, individuals of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
The NAACP criticized Florida for marginalizing and minimizing the contributions and challenges faced by African-Americans and other minorities. They accused Governor DeSantis of implementing policies that they claim criminalize protests, limit the teaching of Black history, and hinder initiatives promoting diversity and inclusion.
Leon Russell, Chair of the NAACP Board of Directors, issued a statement alongside the advisory, accusing state leaders of prioritizing political agendas over the welfare of the people. Russell claimed that Governor DeSantis and the state of Florida have launched a flagrant assault against the principles of diversity and inclusion, catering to a dangerous extremist minority while rejecting shared identities.
One of the key points of contention highlighted by the NAACP is the law enacted by Governor DeSantis that prohibits public colleges and universities in Florida from allocating funds to programs focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion. The state’s Department of Education, led by Education Commissioner Manny Diaz Jr., has also strongly opposed changes to an Advanced Placement course on African American Studies, expressing concerns of what they perceive as “woke indoctrination disguised as education.”
Furthermore, in 2021, Governor DeSantis signed a law imposing stricter penalties for crimes committed during violent protests or riots, including declaring the destruction of symbols memorializing historical events or people as felonies. However, the enforcement of this law has faced legal hurdles and has yet to be implemented.
The travel advisory issued by the NAACP encourages Florida residents to stand against what they view as regressive policies and join their advocacy efforts to overturn them. The organization intends to keep the advisory in effect until they observe a significant change in the situation within the state.
This move by the NAACP has sparked debate and controversy, with supporters seeing it as a necessary step to raise awareness of perceived injustices, while critics argue that it is politically motivated and fails to consider the full context of Governor DeSantis’ policies.
As Florida remains a popular tourist destination, this travel advisory may have implications for the state’s tourism industry and could potentially influence visitors’ perceptions and decisions regarding travel to Florida. It is essential to note that travelers should carefully evaluate information from various sources to form a balanced understanding of the situation before making travel plans.
Ultimately, the NAACP’s advisory against Florida and Governor DeSantis underscores the ongoing tensions surrounding issues of race, diversity, and inclusion in the United States. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced in promoting equality and understanding in a deeply divided society.
No race, ethnicity, or LGBTQ+ or other group needs special PR in schools. One rule for everyone: assault, threats, intimidation, bullying are unacceptable regardless of who it’s done to. Consistent enforcement, too, of course, which has been lacking in some cases; and the only difference from those regrettable cases vs the behavior of the woke is that they would switch around who they framed and who they gave a pass, rather than getting serious about leveling the field. If people insist on grudge scores, that will NEVER happen.
A regular history without special propaganda on behalf of the historically oppressed will confess quite enough to acknowledge past misdeeds, even if not in excruciating detail. And far enough back, probably the ancestors of most people here of all colors were having a bad time at the hands of others, including the ones who came here voluntarily, otherwise they would never have left their place of origin.
Sob stories and grudges are a distraction from learning the skills needed to offer at least as much value in the workplace and life as one’s competition.
Look at the NON SLAVE state of California, who never had slaves yet they are giving Reparation’s? Why? People today are not responsible for the actions of people from 200 years ago no matter what nationality or ethnicity they are. Even if yo did there has been at least 6 generations since the Emancipation Proclamation and each generation say averages 3 children. Do the math and figure out how much each person gets to day from the beginning. It ends up in the cents. Who is pushing hat pipe dream. What about the white share croppers, the Irish, the Chinese, even the Russians. You must include them. Maybe we should all get reparations if we want equality. Lets all add $1000 to our income taxes so that we can get back $1.50 in divided reparations today.
The only thing that keeps racism going is people who make big money off of it. Look at who is pushing racism, mostly black individuals full of lies to keep it going as a crutch to blame someone else for their problems. Professional Blacks are totally embarrassed by these people and wish it would just stop. Of course there are others who blame whites for their lack of education and opportunities, when they walked out of school as soon as they could, did not strive to get a job and work their way up. Todays society in general thinks the world “Owe’s” them, so who is to blame, those who lie and oppress to make money off it or those who are gullible enough to believe the racist hype?
