    Aug. 2 (UPI) -- The NAACP issued a national advisory warning
    black people about traveling in Missouri, marking the first time
    the organization has specified a single state as a hostile
    environment due to racism.

    The Missouri chapter of the NAACP had previously put out a
    warning for the state in June, after Missouri lawmakers passed
    Senate Bill 43, which made it more difficult for people to sue
    businesses for race discrimination. The national organization
    adopted and issued the advisory Monday.

    "The advisory means each individual should pay special attention
    while in the state of Missouri and certainly if contemplating
    spending time in Missouri," the group said in its original June
    statement. "Unlike seasonal weather advisories, where no
    unnecessary travel on city streets or parking might be directed,
    the NAACP wants to make Missourians and our visitors aware of
    looming danger which could include the following by example of
    what has happened to some residents and visitors."

    In addition to SB 43, the Missouri NAACP pointed to other
    examples of allegedly racist attacks on black people, including
    the case of Tory Sanford, a 28-year-old man who died in a
    Mississippi County jail cell in southeast Missouri hours after
    his arrest for making a wrong turn. The sheriff at the time,
    Cory Hutcheson, faced multiple charges of assault and robbery
    and was accused of foul play in Sanford's death.

    "How do you come to Missouri, run out of gas and find yourself
    dead in a jail cell when you haven't broken any laws?" asked Rod
    Chapel, the president of the Missouri NAACP, reported the Kansas
    City Star. "You have violations of civil rights that are
    happening to people. They're being pulled over because of their
    skin color, they're being beaten up or killed. We are hearing
    complaints at a rate we haven't heard before."

    The NAACP travel advisory also warns black drivers that they are
    75 percent more likely to be stopped compared to white drivers.
