TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! KANSAS CITY COUNTRY CLUB PLAZA RESIDENTS BESEECH CINEMARK TO CANCEL 'STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON' SHOWING!!!
Once again our blog community breaks FIRST WORD of a Kansas City controversy with racial undertones focused on the embattled Country Club Plaza, a movie theater and fear of violent teen flash mobs.
To wit . . .
KANSAS CITY COUNTRY CLUB PLAZA RESIDENTS ARE SOON TO START PLEADING WITH CINEMARK TO CANCEL PLANS TO SHOW RAP MUSIC EPIC "STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON" FOR FEAR OF ATTRACTING MORE VIOLENT TEEN FLASH MOBS!!!
Credit where its due . . .
An overwhelming police presence has kept the Plaza quieter this Summer as violence is now focused in Westport and around the P&L District near the CBE . . ..
However, fear of a controversial rap music movie is starting to escalate as the Aug. 14th movie release date approaches.
Critics are lauding the movie that could be one of the most thoughtful examinations of race relations, independent music and artistic protest in years . . .
Here's the extended Red Band trailer that offers an extended insight into the premise of the movie . . .
Still, it's not discourse on social justice and artistic merit that frightens some Country Club Plaza denizens . . .
"It's the crowds. It's just a fact that crowd control in front of the Cinemark theater and their marquee has ALWAYS been a problem. In fact, the crowd control issue hasn't been solved with curfews and it's really a reflection of one location making life harder for all the surrounding businesses and residents. I try to avoid the Cinemark altogether but I think this movie has the potential to ruin some of the progress that police and Highwoods have fought so hard to achieve. The answer is simple. Cancel the movie . . . That would be the safest course of action for everyone involved. It's something that young people should see in the company of their parents anyway and not just a show where they get dropped off."
Not so long ago remember we captured police using a bull horn to move along crowds in front of the Cinemark Theater and that was after the curfew was established . . .
TKC FACT CHECK: Two weeks away . . . The movie is yet to be listed on the Cinemark schedule of coming attractions and residents nearby the Plaza hope their complaints will cause the movie showing to be cancelled with little fanfare or controversy.
Of course TKC is founded upon constitutionally protected Freedom of Speech and Expression but the community complaints deserve to be noted and hopefully this discussion helps to make locals aware that fear of violent teen flash mobs on the Plaza persists and could be incited by a dramatic interpretation of what some people called "The world's most dangerous group" and the upcoming rap music movie tribute.
Developing . . .
Beeseech?
ReplyDeleteReally, are they royalty?
I have to admit that I'm intrigued by the movie. Maybe the youngsters from the plaza can go see the movie with their parents in Overland Park. Would that make everyone happy? Damn, the people in KCMO can be critical to a fault.
The music, the spotlights, the people, the towns
ReplyDeleteYour baggage with the labels pasted on
There's no business like show business
Traveling through the country is so thrilling
Standing out in front on opening nights
Smiling as you watch the benches filling
And see your billing up there in lights
It's really sad that blacks have to be coddled, fed, clothed and given an allowance by the government. That we have to babysit their children, provide entertainment and take special precautions that they don't attack others and destroy property when they are out in public. That blacks can be counted on to make a spectacle of themselves, looked on as baffoons and their actions be looked upon as typical and expected. And that none of them accept responsibility, none of their leader speak out to correct their brothers and sisters but blame everyone else for all this while asking that even more be provided to them. Sad
ReplyDeleteI'll find you
DeleteYou are very ignorant. You act like black people is the only race that act crazy. I don't know what your race is but I truly feel white people are the worst people out of all the racist.
DeleteBuffoons*
DeleteLet's be honest now. You're most likely a middle aged white man with a small penis, or a middle aged white woman who's married to a man with a baby dick. That's the real cause of your irrational hatred of an entire group of people.
Blacks dont take responsibility??? How about whites dont take responsibility. Color has nothing to do with it. I see trashy grown ass white people that are drunk and belligerent at all times of the day but you crackers call it red neck and accept it as a part of your society. Kansas city is a predominantly black city. Let's cancel the movie to keep the niggers away..... Way to go cinemark. You honkys better hope that cancelling this movie doesn't stir up feelings of racial bias and make people want to act as accused of acting. Dumb crackers

ReplyDeleteLet's see, confederate flags are offensive and must be removed from public.
ReplyDeleteBut speaking out against glorifying rap music which advocates violence against others - hey don't be a racists.
Save the Plaza, close Cinemark!
ReplyDeleteJust part of the grand opening of Plaza 2.0.
ReplyDeleteIt will be competing with Minions and Donald Duck goes to New York.
ReplyDeleteSimple solution. Boycott Cinemark.
ReplyDeleteRacist, old white people. Out of touch.
ReplyDeleteA powerful argument!
DeleteThank you for your well thought out insightful comment!
You are sooo smart!
The N-Word guy good free tickets for SOC by being the 100 "libtard" post.
ReplyDeleteRegrettably, he could not exchange them for Taylor Swift tickets.
OMG, you are getting so friggin predictable Tony.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH deals with government interference on speech, not a dumb ass blog. Jeebuz, if you have not even taken a junior college course in government, don't cite constitutional law. You are as incorrect as your sports commentary, but many of your dip-shit "denizens" actually believe you know what you are saying.
934, he is a Z list blogger. You're asking an awful lot.
DeleteI think the Muppet's is on the bill with it.
ReplyDeleteThe Internet is going to go gaga over this!
ReplyDeleteIronic this is happening on the Plaza, an area zoned by JC Nichols to keep out black people.
ReplyDeleteI never patronize EITHER Cinemark theatre--
ReplyDeletefor what they've helped do to destroy the Plaza
Why didn't Ollie open a new theater at Gates Plaza at Cleaver & Troost? He could clean up on this kind of movie.
ReplyDeletei think cinemark should show the movie and just add some extra security. the money they make would more than pay for the exta costs. i look forward to seeing the movie on the plaza.
ReplyDeleteI refuse to go to cinemark,the audience is tbere talking through the movie.CLOSE THE THEATER, or mak it a Screenland
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, a movie about NIGGER noise? I can't wait..The NIGGERS are sure to come out and tear the Plaza down and they just won't be able to help themselves. Kinda like NIGGER voodoo. Oh wait, voodoo is NIGGER. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteCtfu but yet you white trash wanna be like us so bad by taking credit for everything we have done because you dirty dog smelling bitches can't come up with your own shit , if you wanna be an ass we can be one just as well i bet you wouldn't call not one black person a nigger to their face that's why your ass hiding behind pages !!!
DeleteFirst off both of you are ignorant. One for saying the most stupiest word ive ever heard and hearing it makes my skin crawl. The N word. And the other for calling them white trash. Im a white female women and some of the post im reading are just plane dumb. The movie is going to be a great movie. Its showing a few of the best rappers from the 90s and now. With the struggle they went through. Its not the people in the movies fault that there are stupid people out there that ruin ut for others. Its not just blacks its whites mexicans latinos extra that go out and do stupid things like riots and breaking the law. People point out blacks cause they still think like the early 1900s. ITS THE 2000s PEOPLE!!! Everyones equal! Maybe if people would stop judging each other so much cause their not same color we wouldn't have all the problems we do today!
Delete^^^^^^^^^
ReplyDeleteBe a man and put your comment, if not your just a racist bitch and not a real man.
Ok tough guy
DeleteIt's a good movie about an important topic, it should be seen by ALL people.
ReplyDeleteha, do you really expect these black youths parents to accompany them to a MOVIE. Are you kidding me, hell they have never even seen the inside of their children's school. There is no structure to the average black family any longer. And that my friends is the problem our society faces for long into the future.
ReplyDeleteSame go for the white parents so keep calm
DeleteHuh huh I like money
ReplyDeletecould be one of the most thoughtful examinations of race relations
ReplyDelete"People talk all this shit, but you know, somebody fucks with me, I'm gonna fuck with them. I just did it, you know. Ain't nothing you can do now by talking about it. Besides, it ain't no big thing – I just threw her through a door." Dr. Dre
LOL
I heard the Chiefs did not want Arrowhead used for a country music concert. With 50,000+ country music fans there was bound to be shootings, stabbings and brawls. But surprise, surprise it is possible for 50,000 intoxicated people to congregate without violence. If you had 50,000 black kids at an Arrowhead concert can you imagine the carnage?
ReplyDeleteWell, if there is going to be carnage we should have 100,000 black kids to arrowhead. We can clean up a lot of crime and save the tax payers millions on entitlements.
ReplyDeleteThis movie is gonna be bad ass!!!!
ReplyDeleteMost of the original members spend their time these days on golf courses in Vegas.
ReplyDeleteHey Ryan Rodgers, where the fuck did you surface from ?
ReplyDeleteLet me challenger you to a dick sword fight at JC Nichols Fountain today at 4:00pm.
If you are not there you are a chicken shit. I am signing my name to this post.
So you are a racist then I assume?
DeleteAll right Mexcriment. Break out the big race bait for 28 comments. Still, for the day you are sucking really big.
ReplyDeleteKeep throwing up bullshit and you won't have any hits. You are losing traffic daily.
Oh, know that I will still be railing on you smelly ass when you are begging mom and sis for pocket change. Oooooops, forgot. You already do that.
We need a lot more locally produced porn in those Plaza theaters.
ReplyDeleteFunny, and accurate, 310.

ReplyDeleteThis is what is important. Not some stupid rap movies.
She must be preparing the 4th district for an up and coming feudal style society.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that this "Ryan Rodgers" imbecile, will just have to bite my ass. Since his love of NIGGERS is so great, perhaps he'd like to rent a house at say, 3791 Harrison or there-a-bouts? Sure, I doubt it too...but for NIGGER lovers, that would be the place for them to be.
ReplyDeleteThank god for the racist hits or I would be unknown and kaput.
ReplyDeleteThey're not going to show it?
ReplyDeleteGOOD!
Fuck You 3:10 and get your ass back to KCC Hearnie wants a blowjob.
ReplyDeleteYou know, it makes sense for them to show this movie. If they can nail security, they'll clean up at the register. I say they show it and just get more security. I'll go to see it. Better than getting profiled out in the suburbs.
ReplyDeleteDon't play it, more trouble than it's worth, another movie will pass thru, without the violence inducing niggers or as with an attitude,,,, I feel the movie will cherry gloss over all the negative, making ice cube seem like some grand valiant race fighter,,,, the dumbfucj black youth already mythologize that shit like its scripture,, seeing how rap culture is the attention span of a fly,,,I used to like rap, west coast bay to LA, now it's just poor living habits jigs saying nothing to my opiniobln
ReplyDeleteRacist nigger move draws the days top billing with 42 hits.
ReplyDeleteThe sun is setting. Without the racist postings, TKC would be nothing.
Shut it down and get a sign. Mexicans are pulling pocket change on SW Blvd. Heck, you can mow my yard for $10.00.
KCC is too damn funny--
Delete$10, huh? That unsightly and puny weed patch around your trailer wouldn't take three minutes. Forget Tony, I could use the laughs and beer money. Ha ha ha ha ha.
8:47 Good reference. Christopher Lasch saw a lot of this coming over 30 years ago. Too bad he could stick around to see this.
ReplyDeleteI will see this movie and then share my wife with a BBC. That is fun for everyone and make me the most popular guy in town.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame to see so many racists making their stupid statements known. I'll say it again here and now, if you don't sign your name to your shit then you are nothing but a coward and what you say is meaningless. As for this movie, sure, security is a concern but that's true of all movies. Look at the news, somebody got shot up at an Amy Schumer movie for chrissakes!
ReplyDeleteThis movie can be a chance for people to talk about our culture, instead some of you just want to hide behind your keyboard and throw stones with no real meaning. But your words are empty since you don't have the courage to back them up.
^^^^^^^^^^
ReplyDeleteCalm down there sparky, it's just a movie.
Why should he be calm when others are calling block people niggers!? That makes no sense! Of this was beloved white people crap yall would be all over it!
DeleteHere is something to think about TKC. Why should police protect the purveyors of this movie. NWA glamorized hating and killing police, I don't think police should be asked to protect their profits. Let ice cube come down and keep the theater safe, I'm not risking my neck to do it.
ReplyDeleteShut it down.
ReplyDeletePeople need to grow up, it's just a movie.
ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck is a KCC? Is that like the KKK?
ReplyDeleteDon't give a fuck anyway, I only read this blog and facebook.
As for NWA, this movie will kick fucking ass. Can't wait to see it at the plaza or anywhere else.
Police should not be provided by KC, and maybe not by the theater. That is essentially profiling the audience. Banning the movie is presumptuous. Stay away if you have fear and distrust. The refusal to run this movie would likely be problematic. If even only a few responded ugly to a ban, race relations are harmed because the broad brushes will strike.
ReplyDeleteI bet all these racist people won't take anonymous off and drop address. Everybody that's is not childish just like not ever white person is racist.
ReplyDeleteI just love the to see the opinions of the residents of the plaza community. Hiding your true everyday feelings behind anonymity lol. I'd like for you put some faces behind those feelings so people can see their coworkers, clergymen/women, neighbors and "friends".
ReplyDeleteThese comments are disgusting.
ReplyDeleteWow really all the violence in the movies and yall having a heart attack over nwa just be honest some of these comments tell it all dont want blacks anywhere in the city well that's not going to happen public property hello get over it already sounds like you all want a all white community is what you want well have Scott beam you on up your dreaming so full of hate you do no your just 2 blocks off troost the plaza is not a bubble lol
ReplyDeleteMy brother lived in an apartment on the Plaza. He was robbed in broad daylight at gunpoint by a group of "Youths". The "Youth" with the gun was maybe 14 years old. A couple of weeks later he spotted the same group of "Youths" going into the Plaza theater. In effect, my brother paid for their movie tickets.
ReplyDeleteIt's not racism. It's obvious. Pay attention. I see shootings and fights every weekend in Westport. I see constant news stories about violence in the same area, guess what, rarely, if ever is it a case of white people acting like morons. It's blacks every time. After awhile it's no longer a coincidence. It's no longer racism. It's just people living up to stereotypes. It's pathetic and frustrating. I live downtown, I get stopped 4-7 times a day by bums and cracked out looking people, guess how many are white? Maybe 1 in 20. You ever notice large groups of white people loitering in the intersection of Westport in the weekends? No that's because they don't, they are spending money in the bars, not just standing around waiting to cause trouble or act like buffoons. Black people as a whole, not all but most, are the most disrespectful, uncivilized, pathetic group of people that exist. I've heard people say Mexicans are, that's bs, most Mexican families are very hardworking and family oriented, I think they deserve half the jobs they take from lazy, unappreciating white people. I hate to be so blunt and bigoted but after so long of watching the same bs come from a race that the stereotype is true for 9 out of 10 individuals, it's hard not to say something. I feel bad for the nice, well mannered blacks out there that have to live in the bs shadow that they're peers cast over them. I truly do.
