TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! CRITICS OF SCHOOL BOARD DIRECTOR AIRICK WEST ARGUE THAT DATA REVEALS HE DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF SUPPORT IN KANSAS CITY'S BLACK COMMUNITY!!!
The end of the session for The Missouri General Assembly along with ongoing talk of a school board takeover are bound to make these next few weeks rather intense for those concerned with the future of Kansas City Public Schools.
Supporters of the current Kansas City Public School Board argue that a takeover and loss of local control would lead to disenfranchisement and a situation in which a governing body wouldn't be representative of the people served by the School District.
However . . .
SOMEWHAT SURPRISINGLY, INFLUENTIAL AFRICAN-AMERICAN SUPPORTERS OF MISSOURI STATE INTERVENTION INTO THE KCPS ARGUE THAT CURRENT SCHOOL BOARD DIRECTOR AIRICK WEST IS ALREADY WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF PREDOMINANTLY BLACK VOTING WARDS!!!
In fact, in a recent document OBTAINED EXCLUSIVELY BY TKC . . . There is a bit of election analysis that reveals Rev. Sam Mann earned an impressive show of support in Kansas City's African-American Community while School Board Director Airick West was elected by mostly white people.
Check this money quote:
"Sam Mann beat Airick West in each of the Freedom Wards compiling 833 votes to West’s 348, which is better than 2 to 1. West was re-elected by the white community. He won all but 1 of the predominately white wards and beat Sam by 174 votes. In the 8th Ward (the wealthy Ward Parkway corridor) he out polled Rev. Mann 258 to 50. On the other hand in the black working class 2nd ward, Mann beat West 164 to 40.
"Affluent whites apparently have no problem electing an uneducated and seemingly unemployed black man to a school board that serves a predominately minority student populace. Those people would not elect such an ill-suited person to the school board if their children were dependent on that system for an education.
"Although we are disappointed in the outcome we can take solace in the fact that our constituency, the people who are dependent on the Kansas City Missouri School District for an education, overwhelmingly rejected the “leadership” of Airick West. They preferred Sam Mann by a substantial (better than 2 to 1) margin.
"Airick lost to Sam in the black community, but won the election because the turnout in the white wards (his constituency) was larger."

Here's a ward by ward analysis:
CHECK ALL OF THIS ELECTION DATA FOR YOURSELF THANKS TO A DOCUMENT OBTAINED BY TKC TIPSTERS!!!
And if all of this political rhetoric related to race is confusing . . . Let's try to keep up together:
Kansas City's Black Voting Districts Wanted A White Guy As KCPS Director.
White People In Districts That Don't Really Host Many KCPS Students Voted For The Black Guy.
White People From Jeff City Might Soon Takeover.
Many Supporters Of The Current KCPS Board Argue That The Loss Of Local Control Could Disenfranchise Black And Brown Students And Parents.
Meanwhile, Some Of The Most Influential African-American Leaders In Kansas City Have Been Uncharacteristically Supporting Jeff City Intervention By A Bunch Of White People.
And all of this should answer your racist questions about why so many Indian students excel at spelling bees . . .
DEVELOPING . . .
Sly can fix it.
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone who lives east of Troost vote to continue the same activities with the same old folks who have brought on the current disaster to the east side, all the while making very good livings for themsleves?
ReplyDeleteAt some point it gets to be time to stop being taken advantage of and manipulatied for the benefit of a few, and vote for people like Ellington and West, who are trying to actually represent the folks who live there.
That part of the city is already hollowing out, with greatly decreased population, rampant crime, thousands of abandoned houses, and less hope.
If the city officials, business community, and residents would just stand up to some of these folks and all them out for who and what they are, the page of this terrible dysfunction could be turned.
How about some serious leadership?
If more folks would be concerned about teaching young people so that they could enjoy productive successful lives, and a whole lot less about a bunch of incompetent greedy people having control of something, everyone would be alot better off.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you ask the students themselves, they'll tell you they'd appreciate it if the adults started acting like grownups instead of a bunch of rats scurrying around stealing the cheese from each other.
There's nothing more disenfranchising in 2012 than not having a decent education.
Why is this news?
ReplyDeleteYoung people in high school, without strong, insistent parental pressure just don't learn to become successful productive lives... in part because teachers and curricula don't motivate them towards successful careers, and also because kids want to have more fun. They're into independence, rebellion against adult authority figures (school prison guards), looking good in front of their friends and daydreaming about/trying to procure sex.
ReplyDeleteSchool board members aren't going to change those things -- but they could set policies to encourage more motivational career-oriented teaching. Schools should have more classes and school assemblies with career representatives from the business world.
So Clinton is feeding TKC news? Sam Mann is a buffoon who does exactly what the current grifters, such as Adams, Grant, Webster, etc., tell him. Airick does not take orders from Freedom, so Freedom doesn't want him on the school board.
ReplyDeleteFreedom, Inc. Niggers fuck up everything!!! Don't they have ethics violations to deal with? Clinton Adams is a sore loser.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of voting, when Clinton Adams graduated from Lincoln High School in 1921, (LOL) he was voted most likely to bleed the community. I'm starting to question the integrity of his education.
ReplyDelete8:46, don't bother with the integrity of his education. Look at his own personal integrity, or lack thereof. On secondhand, don't bother looking for the integrity on any of these grifters. You won't find any.
ReplyDeleteIs it also fair to impute from the data that the black vote doesn't really matter, since it's the white vote that gets folks elected?
ReplyDeleteSo let me get this straight- when the white folk overwhelmingly vote for the black guy over the white guy, it's still racist?
ReplyDeleteFirst, this assumes EVERY SINGLE VOTE cast in Wards 2, 3, 7, and 14-19 was cast by a black voter, which is unlikely.
ReplyDeleteSecond, can anyone imagine the outrage we'd be hearing if anyone even voiced a belief that an election was suspect if the successful candidate won overwhelmingly in black districts but had little support in white communities?
Third, even if all the voters in the alleged black wards were black, that still means only 1181 blacks cared enough to vote in an election for the school board of a district with 12,000 students.
I think the reason the black folks didn't care enough to show up to vote is that they have a pretty good sense when they're being scammed.
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with that 19th Ward turnout? Some of the other numbers are disturbingly low, too, but one vote?
ReplyDeleteWhere is the 19th Ward?
ReplyDeleteScam is right! Sam Mann being passed off as a Black leader IS a scam! Nia Webster being passed off for a leader is also a scam. Next they be asking for money to send to Barrister Conrad to release the inheritance money from his great, great grandfather. Urban Summit might as well be part of the Nigerian email hussle because they are equally dishonest!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Airwick was busy on the blogs today. Will that help his career or will he just take whatever Ward Parkway can give him?
ReplyDeleteI love you, 9:52.
ReplyDeleteI love you, 12:43.
ReplyDeleteSam Mann has more sense than Airick and at least he believes in a power greater than a career in politics.
ReplyDeleteURBAN SCUMMIT....watch what KIKI CURLS does because she is going to make sure Clinton or his brother Gwen get on the Board the state appoints.....
ReplyDelete@4/27/12 8:13PM LMAO Urban Scummit! Fantastic! LOL Clinton or his brother Gwen... ROTFLMAO She does favor a tranny!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that people whose reproductive organs no longer function in the intended purpose are trying to control a school district and other people’s children; parents who are capable of reproducing? Urban League is Freedom, Inc. is Urban Summit. Doesn't matter what name you call it, it's the same tired, geriatric brood. Will somebody give these washed-up senior citizens something to do besides making attempts to control the government and the school district? These folks have paved the way for no one and they need to withdraw their greedy, aged hands from the school district. These folks are obviously sore losers; emphasis on LOSERS! Gottdamn! Mann, you lost! Deal with it and move on already! Tony get out of bed with these people; and for God’s sake, please stop forcing the word LEADER on these people. They are undeserving and like the school district… unaccredited.
ReplyDeleteAnd quit suggesting that these groups represent the entire Black community. They do not!
ReplyDeleteAll school boards seem to do is distract people and keep people from doing their jobs. I understand that there needs to be some form of oversight, but since the board has consistently failed in that capacity, it should simply be eliminated.
ReplyDeletedo you really think that too many black people vote other than the last Presidentual election
