MUST READ COLUMN FROM ERIC WESSON AT THE KANSAS CITY CALL CITES LACK OF CITY HALL DEVELOPMENT DOLLARS IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY!!!
In the final installment of a four part series, Eric Wesson brilliantly makes his case about the ongoing disparity when it comes to investment in Kansas City's African-American community versus money used to invest in other parts of this cowtown. It really is a game changing summation that not only details the lack of local investment but also holds elected officials from throughout Kansas City responsible.
WHAT? I thought Terry Riley was effective? I guess he just pocketed the money from the Citidel Project and took the rest of the term off.
ReplyDeleteHe told the truth. Excellent work.
ReplyDeleteMore handouts. That's all they want. Work for it, asshole.
ReplyDeleteLess handouts for the northland, west of Troost and Ward parkway. Let them work for it asshole.
ReplyDeleteSorry, nother institutional media writer focusing on institutional government for blame and answers.
ReplyDeleteIts never been about race, except that the black race has been kept on the bottom... and those who learned the secret to a better income is education, they want their kids away from those who don't know the secret or have no motivation.
People who move to the burbs are married, two income. The American dream that many blacks think is a white culture. But 2 income, married families are the only way middle class can STAY middle class.
This city hall shit about expendatures is a red herring. Sidewalks and better streets don't lift a sick culture.
Enlightenment does. The only leadership in the black community are in the churches. I dont' know what they preach but if blacks don't end single parenthood, they wills stay at the bottom and even the newer imports, the Mexicans, will surpass their lack of progress.
It's about values. Having two parents controlling adolecent boys. Not city contracts, not more police.
The problem with the Huxtables is that you have a doctor and a lawyer, and thats not the average family.
Ya need a bus driver dad and a mom who works as a clerical... in a more modest home but still practicing values and child rearing on their pubescent boys who want respect, so they get it from the other machoboys... some of whom are in gangs.
Gangs eventually offer boys more belonging than single moms do, so the boys are enticed away from mama.
Dads need to stay out of prison and move home and raise their boys. And daughters should avoid their charms like the plague.
What, no one can afford a pill, or do girls see a baby as a ticket to a government check to get out of the house?
We need to fix this. We're just empowering black people to stay in poverty.
It just aint about sidewaks and city programs. It's all about culture. And economics. People don't move to the northland becasue the sidewalks are bad!
They move to get away from the unsupervised sons of single mothers who have no respect for their girl classmates but for what moment of joy they can give them!
Gotta stop. You act like prehistorice cavemen in a technical society you have not prepared yourself for.
We need to find a ghetto place to keep you, walled off from the rest of society. No one wants to be like you! No one wants their daughters to even TALK to people like you!
That's why we have prisons... to keep the punks away from more respectable girls and their families who have better vision.
ReplyDeleteWe need classes to teach girls that macho cute boys without jobs and dads aren't really good sperm donors!
What in the FUCK are you all talking about? That is not what I read in his article or the entire series.If white boys were the majority of the murder victims the city would have done something long ago every place you turned there would be police. Why does the third district have more dangerous buildings than the entire city combined. It has nothing to do with any of the shit you blame on black people. White people have issues also. Most child porn comes from the most exclusive parts of the city. Ward Parkway and Overland park yet their streets don't look like ours. You all are living in a time warp denial.
ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck are we supposed to do!! Throw money at it? It starts in the home, or should I say broken home. Have some self respect.
ReplyDeleteLeadership from The Council or the Mayor would be nice and much better than just more press conferences. That was the point of the article.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link Tony I don't pick up The Call Every week but now I realize I should.
