This headline has been repeated over and over again for the past 30 years and still hasn't proven correct. This time a visiting broadcaster from NBC tries to make it work:
For decades a dividing line, Troost Avenue in Kansas City, Mo., sees new hope
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - "Dividing line," said the city's mayor. "This boundary between the haves and the have-nots," said the college professor who studies urban geography. "A division," said the neighborhood association president fighting for change. All three were asked the same question: When people in this city hear " Troost Avenue," what do they think?
The “troost divide” is some made up shit so the blacks could get free money
ReplyDeleteLester Holt is just another multi-millionaire celebrity television "news reporter" who parachutes into fly-over country for a couple hours, drinks the local KoolAid from Sly, repeats the Troost victimization narrative he specifically came to "find", and flies our on the NBC corporate jet to his next rendezvous with another group of deplorables.
ReplyDeleteSuperficial, trivial, skewed travelogue at its best.
Not too hard to see why the public's opinion of the media stays in the tank.
East of Troost residents, just go buy a house that is west of Troost. Couldn't be easier to erase that line.
ReplyDeleteThe troost divide was created by the blacks, not the whites, remember white flight anybody?
ReplyDeleteBeside, the troost divide stops at 59th st, big effing deal, it’s mainly around rockhurst that the blacks don’t live because those houses are expensive, not just anybody can afford to live there, but blacks, the libs and sjw’s live to create controversy’s that don’t exist
ReplyDeleteI stayed mostly on the straight and narrow and became a useful (read: high tax paying) member of society by working harder than the next guy for a clean living.
