This will cut way back on spring break shootings and could also solve the "Oil Slick on the water" issues during spring break

Some blacks give themselves way too much credit when it comes to the notion that they're remotely "infusing money into anything" with regard to the overall travel industry in Florida or anywhere else.

Who's gonna chase all the fat white chicks on Spring Break now?

Oh, shut up.
Seriously.

Oh man, please let all those who take advice from this racist organization never set foot in Florida again. And Texas.

First they destroy a region, get called upon it then choose to avoid it. Can they do that to all the larger cities next ?

LOL. I feel sorry for the states they "advise" folks to visit.

I, for one, will miss the booty-shaking selfie sessions by the pool where children are present. And the smoking of weed in public places where children are present. And the arguing with staff over every perceived discretion in from of small children. And the street takeovers that block traffic. And the shootings that send areas into lockdown.

I miss when rednecks cruisin' down the strip and drunks throwing furniture into pools were the biggest issues.

Maybe it's just me, but the black people who vacation in Florida don't care about the some group calling themselves colored people.

travel advisory for Florida

Local NAACP members speak on travel advisory in Florida

TAMPA, Fla. (WFTS) — It's what keeps Florida going; tourism. Visit Florida said 137.6 million people visited here in 2022, the most ever. In 2021, tourism brought $101.9 billion dollars into the state's economy.

"Florida is a nice place to be. You got your beaches, you got your tourists, you see people all over the world," said Gregory Franklin as he strolled the Tampa Riverwalk.

But the Florida State Chapter of the NAACP has its sights set on hitting the state where it hurts most.

"We are letting our voices be heard, and we are just letting people know that we're not gonna take it. We're not just gonna sit still. We're gonna stand up and we're gonna fight. And when we fight, we win," said Hillsborough County Chapter President Yvette Lewis.

Over the weekend, the Florida State NAACP unanimously voted to ask the NAACP National Board to issue a travel advisory. The advisory would ask people to forego visiting and moving to the sunshine state.

"Saying you don't want AP African American Studies here because they have certain topics in it, certain categories, certain words in it. You don't want companies to have the word diversity, equity and inclusion because it has institutional racism in their policy. You know, it takes us back. And we've been fighting so hard," Lewis said.

As a Floridian, this is excellent news! My thanks to the NAACP! I hope they will all adhere to this travel advisory.
