Word is out that the NAACP is coming to Kansas City after scaring this town half to death with talk of a boycott in solidarity with La Raza.
Thankfully, because of public pressure and because the broad was half crazy . . . The minutelady who started the whole thing folded under pressure and resigned while putting a mid-sized party over her commitment to public office in Kansas City - Funkhouser stood by her still she quit.
This isn't really a victory for Mayor Funky given the rampant racial divisiveness in this town that the convention could address along with the fact that the Mayor's wife still stands accused of using racial slurs and one of other Black women working in the Mayor's office reportedly left over other hurtful remarks made by Shoeless Gloria Squitiro.
All things considered, a certain element of this mulit-million dollar convention could focus arount anti-Funkhouser rhetoric . . . On the bright side, Kansas City's economy really needs the cash no matter how much the visitors deservedly slam the Mayor and his many misdeeds.
Ooh - we are so lucky to have the NAALCP here! Maybe they will ask the "half crazy broad" to speak. I'll never understand how someone who opposes "illegal immigration" is a racist.
ReplyDeleteYou know, the thing for me is that I don't care about this convention. I fthe blacks want to come that's fine just don't bring Jesse Jackson. But at least I'll say this for them they are citizens and they've earned their rights over here. The illegals on the other hand want something for nothing and they haven't ever given anything to this country.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo.
ReplyDeleteI never understood why the NAACP would choose NOT to have its convention here. They could make a fool of Funkhouser and Squitiro in person, and those two yutzes wouldn't able to do squat. They'd have to sit there and squirm for a few days, and there'd be a lot of tough questions to answer afterward.
ReplyDeleteIf you have a problem, you confront it head-on. Props to the NAACP for coming here. Hopefully they can turn a little pressure up on Squitiro.
Funkhouser stood by Simler. Funkhouser continues to stand by Squitiro. Mr. Funkhouser has a history of standing by and protecting nasty mean women. What does that tell us about Mr. Funkhouser.
ReplyDeleteHey, when does the new Storud's open? This could be a real coup for them.
ReplyDeleteThat should be Stroud's, you know, the chicken place.
ReplyDeleteyum
ReplyDeleteStroud's.
ReplyDeleteMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
Best. Chicken. Evar.
Funkhouser is a joke on all of kansas City.
ReplyDeleteContrary to the Star's ludicrous assertion that this ends the Semler slap in the face, kick to the groin controversy, it only highlights the apologists that run rampant at the Star.
ReplyDeleteThere are no signed contracts YET!
And why in god's name did the idiot mayor only cite 18th and Vine attractions for these potential visitors? Why not he Sprint Center/ Power and Light District? Or the Plaza?
Everytime this guy tries to put out a positive he just digs in deeper.
The EEOC lawsuit should make great reading for the site committee on their flight in to Kansas City.
The NAACP is coming to K.C. because, deep down, they're in competition with Latinos and they dig it when said Latinos get kicked around.
ReplyDeleteLa Raza? La Raza who. I forgot all about them.
