NAACP Issues Warning to People of Color and Women Traveling to Missouri

The NAACP has responded to Missouri's recent legislation on discrimination by issuing a travel warning for the state. The advisory calls for travelers to utilize "extreme caution" in the state due to the likelihood of "discrimination and harassment," CBS News reported Tuesday. Rod Chapel Jr., president of the state's NAACP chapter, has described Republican Governor Eric Greitens' recent legislation as "the Jim Crow bill," a reference to the segregation tactics of the South.

The state's legislation will make lawsuits alleging discrimination much more difficult to win, as victims will now have to present proof that discrimination was the main reason for a defendant's actions. Previously, suits required proof that bias was a contributing factor. The bill also bars employees from suing any individual for discrimination, meaning only the company itself can be named in a suit.

No more convicting people based solely on unproven charges of racism by racists with a chip on their shoulder?

Oh no!

What horrible racist thought this up?

There goes another path to obtaining some reparations!

/sarcasm off

‘the likelihood of “discrimination and harassment,”’

$&%$%^&&$#& Oh good God, what a bunch of spoiled rotten bastards.

“The state’s legislation will make lawsuits alleging discrimination much more difficult to win, as victims will now have to present proof that discrimination was the main reason for a defendant’s actions”

What? What has this to do with “travel warning”? It’s about damn lawsuits, not even traffic stops!

Maybe I can get them to issue one for my neck of the woods if I hang a noose or two in the trees and put up a sign “welcome coon hunters”.

And I’m issuing a WARNING to whites vacationing in Tampa, Florida:

In Florida, the criminal statutes are no longer enforced. The sheriff’s deputies will let the Aztecan Mexican illegals and other South American trash walk EVERY TIME and will threaten YOU the white law abiding citizen with jail for “tying up scarce resources” when and if you call them for protection or to report a crime committed by an illegal. It’s a 3rd world garbage dump down here. Spend your vacation money elsewhere. Safeguard your family. DO NOT VACATION IN FLORIDA.

As I’ve noted in other threads on this subject, I hope the target audience for this message reads and heeds during the upcoming total eclipse weekend. I’m headed to an RV campground within the eclipse path in NE MO. It would please me greatly to have the traffic reduced.
