Right now we offer a ground and sky level view of hopeful protest in Kansas City in the midst of a great deal of divisive and angry politics even after white people won the presidential election by way of a reality TV show star who never held public office and is embroiled in a Russian scandal that seems to be getting worse even among his own political party.
To wit . . .
THANKS TO OUR KICK-ASS TKC BLOG COMMUNITY FOR THESE SHOTS OF AN EPIC IMMIGRANT PROTEST ON THE STEPS OF CITY HALL TODAY!!!
At its peak the crowd was about 400 strong.
Also, some of these photos had more artsy shadow but I brightened them up to get a better look at the scale of the crowd.
But I digress . . .
Two things here when checking out the local discourse . . .
TRAGICALLY, SO MANY KANSAS CITY HATERZ EQUATE IMMIGRANTS WITH ILLEGAL ALIENS AND RUSH TO THROW HATE AT LEGAL RESIDENTS!!!
Sadly, we've seen the comments and the hate along with reactionary judgement from locals and even MSM denizens.
But it gets worse and begs the question . . .
DO YOU THINK LEGAL IMMIGRANTS HAVE THE RIGHT PROTEST?!?!
Of course the answer is yes but also depends a lot on worldview and other prejudices.
Check the link roundup as another faction of Kansas City residents resist the current administration.

You decide . . .
Trump supporters don't think anyone has any rights. They rip up and spit on the constitution.
ReplyDeleteWhoever made the Taco Tuesday comment earlier.
DeleteLOL!
Trump said he welcomes new LEGAL immigrants but his right hand man Bannon hates immigrants whether they are legal or not: http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/2/2/14472404/steve-bannon-legal-immigration-problem
DeleteThis is a problem because Bannon is really running the white house.
400 strong? Wow.......
ReplyDelete^^^ that's more people then would ever come to see you do anything in the course of your life.
ReplyDeleteBehavior like this makes me want to detain the whole bunch and review their credentials. Probably a few illegals there. Round them up ship them out.
ReplyDeleteAll of the protesting against trumps immigration raids would have credibility if there were any protesting when Obama did the sane thing
ReplyDeleteOf course immigrants have the right to protest, I also have the right to request that legal immigration quotas are scaled down or curbed altogether. I think you'll find that more people agree with me!
ReplyDeletehire legal american black young people.
ReplyDeleteThat's a excellent idea
DeleteWas Sly out there with a bullhorn leading the chants? Was he wearing his sombrero?
ReplyDelete@4:33
ReplyDeleteYES!
No one's really gonna be free until nerd persecution ends.

ReplyDeleteanother day...another "protest". yaaawn..
Butthurt Democrat sore-loser snowflakes need to get a life.
4:11, so far Obama leads all Presidents in executive orders later found unconstitutional by courts. He used to rip up the Constitution and spit on it every morning to work up an apetite for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteHow'd that Obama hope and change thingy work out for these folks?
ReplyDeleteAny legal resident has the right to protest in an orderly fashion. But protesting for something that really matters is more important than just standing around in the street acting like you give a damn but more or less are clueless as to why you're really there.
ReplyDelete#DayWithoutStuporDave
DeleteI mean, eon
Hope the illegals enjoy their free airline ticket home.
ReplyDeleteDidn't notice a difference in my day as did most American citizens and legal immigrants who have real jobs and lives. Go tell tu madre what a man you are. Post more titty pics before you do though, it's the only good thing on this blog.
ReplyDeleteI didn't notice any Taco Bells being closed. Come to think of it I didn't notice any place being closed and local news media hardly touching this topic.
ReplyDeleteProtests are not news worthy.
Get over it.
Will the center hold?
ReplyDeleteDecades of abuse, vitriol, calumny and the sanctimony.
The sanctimony.
The sanctimony. .

ReplyDeleteWell, Jesus ben Joseph, look who finally caught up!
This has never been about law & order, this has always been about racism.
You are not white, therefore your favorite racists, Chuck, NaziDave & Bob, think of you as a second class citizen, at best. I get it, maybe you think of yourself as white on the inside, but on the outside you are brown. These "undocumented" are not your enemies, these racists are your enemy.
Fire 'em then deport them.
ReplyDeleteGeeee Toneeeee I wonder how many of these comments are your own designed to tilt the tone of your blog????? Plenty I am sure. A ton of piled on bullshit when the solution is simple. Your presence here is dictated by law. Get legal or get gone. Don't blame Trump. Look in the mirror and admit you gambled with your life and your bastard children's lives. When you get done with your self serving pity party in the street packs your shit and leave until you can follow the laws here.
ReplyDelete^^^ That comment was designed by an old fool who sounds like a "conservative" snow flake who is very unaccustomed to getting any feedback. Sorry, the world called and you lost. Trump just conned you into helping him make more money and you bought it. There's no going back, there's just getting over.
ReplyDeletePence 2018!
ReplyDeleteByron D. Funkhouser, a German liberal, democrat, who loves the Nazi word along with, redneck, idiot, moron, racist, bigot, extremist, right winger...need I say more?
ReplyDelete^^^^^You mean the Byron who lives in a 96% all white town. Talk a about a racists POS
ReplyDelete7:08 You sound like a gay libtard. You lost baby shit head. Suck it up!!!
