On Friday, financier Mike Hill, who is also part of an initiative promoting black Americans called Project 21, said the NAACP warning was absurd, and a brazen publicity stunt.
'I would tell black people who have seen this advisory to not come to Florida to simply ignore it,' said Hill, owner of an independent insurance and financial services agency in Pensacola.
Hill
told Fox News: 'I believe that they see the amount of tens of millions of dollars that Black Lives Matter has been able to raise from the leftist agenda, and so they want a part of that gravy train.
'I believe it was more a publicity stunt. It was an attempt to fundraise more than anything else.'
