  2. Headline: Racist Gwen Grant does not have much hope in white police chief. Grant praises Forte because he was black even though he raped and pillaged the police department.

  4. And forte went awol most of the time and nobody could find him and he wouldn't answer his phones for weeks on end and yet the blacks trusted him? How is that even possible unless he garaunteed his people that they could do whatever they wanted with no fear of punishment. Did forte come out and get the trust of white people? I didn't see him bending over backwards for whitey,

  5. I guess it is ok that over 100 black people (mostly young people) die, as long as we have a black police chief? Many black neighborhood leaders supported Smith. Of course, Gwen doesn't know that because she doesn't associate with neighborhood leaders. They are beneath her. She hangs out in board rooms with rich white men. Why didn't Forte give her the diverse police department she desires? She is totally out of touch with the community she supposedly represents.

    1. Damn right it's ok if over a hundred young negro criminals get killed, even though more would be better.

  10. If Ms. Grant likes to play numbers, I'll play too. There are twelve Council Seats in KC, plus the Mayor. 30% of 13 is 3.9, rounded to 4, therefore I'm sure Ms. Grant would agree that UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CAN MORE THAN FOUR OF THE OFFICES OF MAYOR AND COUNCILPERSON (COMBINED) BE OCCUPIED BY PERSONS OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN DESCENT! Quotas is quotas, right?

  11. "Shake-down Gwen" is just trying to get herself on the board to try to be sure that the new chief views her as the "power player" that she makes believe she is. That's easy to tell with "we are here to help" last line of her column in the Star.
    Of course, Grant pays herself well into six figures and it's not hard to tell who she makes believes she "represents" by finding out where most of that money comes from.
    Hint: It's not from the east side.
    And you'd find it's actually difficult to find many folks who actually live on the east side who even know what the Urban League is supposed to do or who have had any contact with the "organization" at all.
    As long as this kind of scam is what passes for "leadership" and officials, corporations, foundations, and others continue to fund it, nothing will change for the regular folks who are just trying to earn a living and raise their families in a safe supportive neighborhood.
    How's the next $20 million in taxpayer money for 18th and Vine coming along?
    Personally profiting from the despair of others.
    Pitiful.
