NAACP Missouri Travel Advisory, Senate Bill 43, Discrimination Law
The NAACP issued a travel advisory for Missouri following the signing of Senate Bill 43 by Governor Eric Greitens. The organization labels the legislation a "Jim Crow bill" because it requires employees to prove discrimination was the "motivating factor" rather than just a "contributing factor" in their termination. Critics of the advisory argue it is a political stunt that misrepresents the safety of traveling through the state.
Missouri State Senator Jamila Nasheed is scrutinized for her role in the Ferguson narrative, with the hosts noting her position on the urban issues and redistricting committees. President Obama's decision to interrupt his Martha's Vineyard vacation to speak on Ferguson—while ignoring crises in Ukraine and the Middle East—is framed as a calculated move to protect Democratic seats in the House and Senate.
