About a month ago, I heard that the NAACP, the former giant of civil rights activity, was going to issue a travel ban to warn people about social conditions in Florida. I thought to myself, why would you keep people from coming to Florida to invest in black businesses there? Also, why would you promote black people not coming to Florida to enjoy the natural resources of the state? Lastly, who do you think you are hurting? Does the NAACP really think that black dollars supports the economy of Florida? Last time I looked around, I am the only black person living in my housing division? The homes that do go up for sale are out of the price range of most black people.
The intent of the NAACP may have been good, but the strategy does not fit conditions in 2023. What happened to the days when the NAACP would file suit in court to challenge legal decisions? Why isn't the NAACP doing so in Florida?
Rescind the warning. Urge black people to flood the state with our dollars and only shop at businesses friendly to black people. Urge black people to purchase homes and properties in Florida. Become citizens of Florida and then exercise your right to vote people and policies out of office and off the books. Now is not the time to be heard and not seen. NAACP, time to regroup on your strategy.
