I think one of the reasons that TKC is a popular blog is because I'm one of the few Latinos in the local media (or at least on the periphery) in a marketplace covered by newsrooms that are not nearly as diverse as Kansas City. Even better, in print, I'm far more articulate than most Latinos are allowed to be . . . Lest they face deportation.
Anyhoo . . . I can't help but think just how white Kansas City social media is when I read about an upcoming Night Ranger Tweetup in Kansas City . . . Don't get me wrong, it sounds like a good time organized by local social media guru Jeff . . . It's just . . . Night Ranger . . . Um, no thanks. Not even if they led with Sister Christian . . . Which I heard they won't perform until the second encore. Yes, I've seen them play live . . . Call it research into 40-something white women.
Sadly, the last popular Black guy in KC blogging wasn't really political and I always thought a great many bloggers tried (and failed) to turn him into a mascot of sorts. So in news and social media . . . People of color are a rarity and I can only hope more will come to the forefront.

ReplyDeleteI am not organizing the tweetup I will just be there :) I was just letting the kc'ers know. :)
This 40 year old white women will be there looking HOT! :) I'm excited!
ReplyDeleteHow's come it is that white only bothers you if it isn't attached to a pair of 36DD hogans, you burrito-breathed buttlick?
ReplyDeleteWhich raises another question: What's your typing speed, Tony, when you're only able to use one hand on the keyboard?
gawd, i love it when the newbies to your blog get all a-twitter.
