Race/Ethnicity

Black Non-Hispanics died by homicide across both counties at a significantly higher proportion than White Non-Hispanics and Hispanics combined. Even though Black Non-Hispanics, according to the Census Bureau, account for only 19% of the Miami-Dade County population, 56% of homicide victims are among this ethnic group. The same proportional disparity is seen in Broward County. In this county, 53% of the homicide victims are Black Non-Hispanics, while only 23% of the Broward County population belongs to this ethnic group


During the four-year selected period on average, the homicide rate for Black Non-Hispanics in Miami-Dade County was 28.4 deaths per 100,000 population, significantly higher than Hispanics (5.0) and White Non-Hispanics (6.2) respectively. In Broward County, the risk of dying by homicide among Black Non-Hispanics was 11.6 deaths per 100,000 population and 3.1 greater than Hispanics (2.2) and White Non-Hispanics (3.8)

doing what ?

Teaching AP African American studies.

[christiefan915]

This is over AP African American studies ?

Given the hue and cry over student debt everyone ought to be asking for programs such as this to be discontinued.
What is the career path for a studier of African Americanism ?

Teaching, social work, law...

[ThatOwlWoman]

I'm already doing that...and I've had real fun in Florida.

Ditto for us. There's a whole world out there full of wonderful experiences and sights. Why waste a dime on a place where "woke goes to die"? No thanks.

Teaching, social work, law...

Community organizing, public health, sociology, psychology...

Florida NAACP moves towards initiating a travel advisory for 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.

This isn't the first time a group has pushed for a travel advisory or boycott.

Our plan seems to be working!

A former teacher of mine is teaching one of sixty AP African American History across the country. Being friends with him on Facebook he regularly posts pictures from class and what the topic of the day.

The complaint I’ve heard from other black people who have studied the syllabus is that it is too focused on racism and oppression. Their argument is racism and oppression is certainly a part of the black experience in America but it’s not the only thing. The black experience encompasses far more than that. Of course there are others who don’t see it that way regarding the syllabus.

I’ve seen people say by not allowing this course it means we aren’t teaching about slavery, civil rights etc in school. That’s false. Those things are rightfully being taught in basic history class. If it was only being taught in AP African American history class then very few kids in the country would be exposed to it and that just isn’t the case. (This isn’t justifying not teaching the course but rather pointing out the misrepresentation about it.)

Nor is Guno embarrassed by his own blatant racism. He should be.

[Theywillneverlearn!]

I’m no Florida expert but to my understanding large numbers of people in the northeast/Midwest own homes/condos in Florida. Should they simply not visit them or should they sell them to comply with the boycott and make the state feel economic pain?

Very true. Mostly liberal democrats from the Northeast. Do you actually think they give a fuck about any of this? Of course not.

[Celticguy]

There are bad apples in every group. That’s equivalent to someone saying because of Jan 6th all white people or all Republicans shouldn’t be welcomed somewhere.

States want people coming and spending money in them.

Of course states want them, its free money, but the citizens who have to deal with the crime/violence/destruction see it differently.

Teaching AP African American studies.

Anyone with a degree in history can teach that. The curriculum is not established at the teacher level.
