TKC MUST READ!!! THIS IS WHY NOBODY READS THE KANSAS CITY STAR: HOOPZ MEMORIALIZES TRAYVON IN EPIC SCREED DOCUMENTING HOLLYWOOD DRAMA!!!
The killing of Trayvon Martin is a American cultural touchstone that sparked the 'Black Lives Matter' movement and protest throughout the nation. Five years ago.
Recently, his birthday inspired a bit of cultural slap fighting and this tweet tribute for Kansas City's 3rd most controversial scribe . . .
Even worse, Jeneé "Hoopz" Osterheldt penned a silly column dedicated to Youtube drama and a controversy over a C-list flick that isn't half as funny as The Polka King - Just to keep it warm & funny around here, the latter movie was actually pretty good and TKC recommends the story of second chances and bad music . . . But I digress . . .
The point here is that with so many things happening in Kansas City right now . . . From government corruption to any number of neighborhood controversies - Hoopz is still pushing a narrative that's anything but local and mostly propagated to create greater divisions in the name of identity politics. Once again, the fact that so many newspaper journalists & pundits have gone the way of the dodo whilst Hoopz continues her mission as a social justice warrior is one of many reasons locals continue to abandon The Kansas City Star.
You decide . . .
You're wrong on this one Tony. I still buy the Star. I can't train my damn dog and it's too cold to take him outside today.
ReplyDeleteAdmittedly, the column is somewhat unprofessional but there's no denying that the Trayvon Martin episode was a major event in U.S. culture. The youtube beef not withstanding, I think a better examination of how this even got us here was touched upon in other publications. Not everything can be 100% local.
DeleteThe paper is locked in now. If they fire her they're giving in to public criticism, if they keep her on as they layoff more employees, there will be growing complaints. Definitely a no win situation and something that could have been avoided if they would have let her go after her Harvard stint.
DeleteThere are many newspapers still doing important work in fighting corruption and holding elected officials accountable, the The Star isn't one of them. In KC, the Northeast News and the Independence Examiner are doing a good job with limited resources.
ReplyDeleteHoopz, I might pay a little attention to your racist crap and BLM fake thoughts when you get your ass out on the street trying to stop all the black on black killing going on. Till then it's of my opinion you should be fired from your position at The Star that you don't use to enlighten the citizens of this town on current affairs but instead use to preach your own personal agenda.
ReplyDeleteStupor Duck, I might pay a little attention to your racist crap and White Supremacy fake thoughts if you had a brain. Till then it's of my opinion you should probably die.
DeleteLook at the 'heroes' of this community. Every thug becomes Emmett Till. Hoopz isn't adding anything to the discussion but frankly there isn't anything to add. You either buy into the thug as victim story with the white guilt prescription or you don't.
ReplyDeleteTo The Star: Hire writers / journalists with originality and clarity of thought. Challenge your readers. The Star recently did a decent job with investigative reporting on some questionable practices out of Topeka. Do that. The type of writing here is simply a compilation of reTweets and snarks on message boards. It is a start at least. And you’re welcome.
ReplyDeleteTo The Star: Keep up the great work. Jenee is one of the best. Don't listen to the trolls. You're doing GREAT work!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mother Hoopz
DeleteWith the Pitch basically out of commission, The Star is celebrating their victory. years of advertising firings, cost cutting and losses are finally starting to pay off when it comes to putting other print publications out of business.
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^^^ Your typical BLM member
ReplyDeleteFor the most part I think the Star does a great job. This column may not be the best thing but I really love Jenee's writing. She is one of the best young columnists in Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteThanks father Hoopz. You sound very proud of your dayghter
DeleteCould somebody please put this bitch out of business? Don't kill her because in KC nobody would notice. Just shut her whiney ass up. And Mary Diego Sanchez too.
ReplyDeleteTheir is no mention of the fact that Trayvon Martin deserved exactly what he got. The same as Michael Brown.
ReplyDeleteHey stupid dave...nobody gives a fuck what you think. Hoopz is paid for her opinion, you force yours on us. Hoopz wins!!!!!! It's my opinion you take the whole bottle of sleeping pills.
ReplyDelete"She is one of the best young columnists in Kansas City." She's not young. Don't believe the photo.
ReplyDeleteAngela K, you're the one living under a bridge, how about you coming and and facing reality? 9:29, she may be paid but less and less are paying every week to see it.
ReplyDeleteSuper Dave Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9:29: Does anyone REALLY force you to come here and read every post?
ReplyDeleteStupid dave has rocks in his head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHAHA fuck em both!!!
ReplyDeleteThe problem with hiring a flake like Hoopz is that a reader doesn't even have to read her bullshit to know what the general theme is all about. That isn't talent - that is her personal issues. She is bait for the boons and panderers and that is exactly what the Star must have wanted to sell a few newspapers to the Afro-Sheen crowd. She would fit right in with the Saturday morning screwball KKFI crowd, but has no business trying to make anything she is producing a legitimate journalism product. Tony should know that, but then guess what crowd he belongs to.

ReplyDeleteIt's clear this women has a problem , she's a horrible racist and loves to stir up trouble and division. We call people like her educated idiots, and I truly feel sorry for her. Very Sad!
10:24 now that’s funny right there!!!
ReplyDeleteInquiring minds demands to know what her white half thinks! She must be so conflicted! Lmao!
ReplyDeleteWhen Super Dave talks smart people listen. When the real stupid people lash out at him calling him stupid all they accomplish is showing their single digit IQ and denying what the truth is.
ReplyDelete...^^^which is stupid dave is a fucking moron. Even his mom thinks so.
ReplyDeleteI took a huge Trayvon Martin as soon as I got to work this morning. It smelled terrible before I flushed it down, just like that thug's stinking corpse. I felt it was an appropriate way to celebrate the things he gave back to his community during his short life... oh wait, not shit!
ReplyDeleteI am amazed as to how fuck holes like Hoopz can memorialize criminals like Trayvon and Brown. Just proves that there is a clear cultural disconnect between blacks and the rest of us.
Tony, feel free to delete this one like all the others. Free Speech blog, my fucking ass...
^^^please delete it. This two pump chump doesn't have anything to say.
ReplyDeleteMake more sense to honor Bernhard Goetz.
ReplyDeleteGoetz is a national hero. Too bad he didn’t kill those 4 punks.
Delete12:11 just proved my single digit IQ mentality. The best thing about TKC is when you call the idiots an idiot, they never let you down in proving so. Hoopz herself does it every week in writing.
ReplyDelete^^^^Really? Really...they just proved "your single digit IQ mentality" OMG! They sure did! Stupid dave, you have to be the dumbest fuck on here!!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Ha!!!!!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete- in Democrat Bizzaro World - Hispanic George Zimmerman is considered "White'
While blue-eyed blonde WASP Liz Warren is an "American Indian"
If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon!
ReplyDelete8:55 YOU are on the money.
ReplyDeleteYeah, 9:56, stupidity demands a response.
ReplyDeleteSay what's the name of this movie anyway?
My Fair Negro?
The Negro Wild?
A Negro Runs Through It?
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Negroes?
How to Train Your Negro?
Kill Negro?
