VOTER 'SAVE THE PASEO' PETITION STAYS WINNING!!! KANSAS CITY MLK BLVD REBUKE SOON TO EARN 'RACISM' MSM OUCRY AND SPOTLIGHT!!!
It is accomplished.
Fox4: Kansas City votes to change Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard back to The Paseo
KMBC: Kansas City residents vote to restore The Paseo name
KCTV5: Kansas City votes to remove King's name from historic street
Northeast News: In Tuesday’s special municipal election, Kansas City overwhelmingly voted to rename Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard back to The Paseo Boulevard.
Deets:
With 99% of precincts reporting, just over 31,000, or about 69%, voted “Yes” to bring the Paseo back while just over 13,900, or about 31%, voted “No.”
And here's what's gonna happen . . .
WE LOOK FORWARD TO MSM ONCE AGAIN DESCENDING UPON KANSAS CITY AND TAGGING THIS ENTIRE TOWN AS RACIST FOR THE HISTORIC REBUKE!!!
What we learned is that most of the "Save The Paseo" activists are delightful homespun characters who aren't quite ready for prime time and will likely ruin their careers with on camera interviews . . . Personally, TKC can't wait for the quote frenzy.
Even better . . .
THE REVS WIN!!! THEY'VE TAGGED THIS MOVE AS RACIST & NOW WILL HAVE A NATIONAL STAGE FOR THEIR ARGUMENT!!!
Even better . . .
KANSAS CITY WILL SPEND EVEN MORE TIME AND MONEY TALKING ABOUT THE MLK LEGACY & PICKING A NEW STREET!!!
Meanwhile, voter turnout hovered betwixt 5-6% in KCMO and most people had more fun ways to spend their Tuesday night . . . Which is saying something in this cowtown.
Developing . . .
What a glorious day!
ReplyDeleteVery happy with this outcome.
DeleteA great day for Kansas City!
Clay County and Platte County get to decide a street in KC's Black neighborhood. Not fair at all. Admit it TKC, this is racism and white privilege in its purest form.
Delete^^^ NOPE, pretty sure it's called Democracy!
DeleteLol so if they have to name another street it will just get voted down again
ReplyDeleteI think most of us would support changing 12th Street to MLK. It goes through downtown and in front of City Hall. More appropriate.
Delete^^^^ Who is we. You live in a trailer in Belton. STAY THERE!
ReplyDeleteHa! Chimpy, you wish you didn't have to live in that stinky cage.
DeleteWe won’t be branded racist, Lucas and the fat fake revs will be branded lyin cheatin crooked idiots. Their scam got busted and now they will pay for it.
ReplyDeleteSo KC is horribly racist. That shouldn't be a surprise to anyone!
ReplyDeleteDead wrong.
DeleteThese dumb white bitches just guaranteed the Revs an interview on every major network in the country.
ReplyDeleteSave the Paseo is just another term for indication of this city's racism!
Is that all you got race baiter?
ReplyDeleteSave Armour Blvd!
ReplyDeleteI'll say, after watching Mr Tim Smith's interview 29 minutes ago on ch4, HE is ready for primetime. Look out SCLC and bully pulpit preachers!
ReplyDeleteWho are the save the paseo supporters? Why won't they go on camera? Why are they so scared they don't even use their real names?
ReplyDeleteTim Smith isn't a leader. Dude has problems. And he's got a career life span of 24 hours now.
ReplyDeleteCANCELLED!
Save the Paseo was about pride of place. The only racists are those who believe that this was about race at all.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Save The Paseo won. The way the vote was done was improper and corrupt. KC said NO. This is a good sign for the future of our city.
ReplyDeleteKC = The most racist city in the midwest and the only American city to take down an MLK street name.
ReplyDeleteShame on you scum.
None of you wanted to honor the memory of Dr. King. You are truly the most racist individuals KC has ever seen. Worse than Trump. The actual Klan in person.
You are a foolish silly person. I voted to Save the Paseo but support naming something after MLK. We have a park named after him currently. We could improve it. Or select another street. But let’s do it the right way with citizen input and not five crooked reverends trying to shove their agenda down everyone’s throats.
Delete9:28 and 9:29 so you’re saying every single vote was cast by those evil white people, no blacks voted? You must really hate white people huh, makes you a racist then doesn’t it dummy.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good sign for the future of our city.
ReplyDeleteUntil the 2019 property tax bills start hitting mail boxes in a few weeks.
It’s not racisrt, MLK had no connection here but people who grew up on pesto do. This is about our city and what we want. Our city wants Paseo and that’s ok. Let the vote stand and stop killing each other!
ReplyDeleteRacist whites showing their true colors.
ReplyDeleteSame with racist blacks.
Welcome to KC!
Save the Paseo are the same people who cheer the Royals when they lost 100 games and buy Chiefs tickets without a Mahomes. They are the people who clean up Cliff Drive for thousandth time. They are the same people who know that the Wild West started here, that Walt Disney learned important lessons here, that Hemingway learned to write here, and that we were Vegas before there was Vegas. Shame on those who would steal that legacy to substitute a political agenda.
ReplyDeletePeople who grew up on PESTO?
ReplyDeleteWhere is Pesto Blvd?
Pesto Blvd sounds DELICIOUS!
I want to go there.
But the question remains, will the Mayor and Council follow the will of the people?
ReplyDeleteRecent history, (Streetcar expansion ban and the very act of trying to name this street after MLK), as well as past history (failure to adopt the Light Rail Plan approved by the voters) says they will completely ignore this vote, and do what they want or rather what they are told to do.
This arrogance is endemic to this town's City Government, and a little insignificant thing like the wishes of the People has no relevance at 12th & Oak.
SLie's disappointed.
ReplyDeleteIn KC, south of the river the yes vote was 65%. It did not matter how Clay or Platte county voted.
ReplyDelete@9:38
ReplyDeleteSave the paseo are racist drunk losers.
That and a few self-hating desperate minority opportunists.
The only thing they did was give Kansas City a bad name.
Nope. The community spoke, and you hate it.
DeleteMan there is some sorry ass losers whining like little bitches tonight, poor babies can’t handle losing a vote, and all they can do is blame them racist whiteys, same sorry ass excuse every time.
ReplyDeleteI bet the black people who actually LIVE on Paseo wanted the name to stay the same.
ReplyDeleteMLK BLVDs all over America are violent, drug infested slums.
Whites telling a black neighborhood how to live. The very definition of racism. No self determination, no rights.
ReplyDeleteKC is a racist city.
THIS is proof.
No, a community making a democratic decision. Exercising their rights at the ballot box.
DeleteLucas can just toss this farce vote in the trash. Do the right thing Maya Q!
ReplyDeleteEnough trying to speak for black people. The majority of whites voted for this. It was an evil, racist, white plan. And just another indication that KC has a long way to go.
ReplyDeleteA truly racist town is now nationally disgraced. We deserve it.
What a disgusting thing these people did.
You don’t know what you’re talking about. When this sham name change was being shoved through council by the Revs, the people who live on the Paseo were against the change. The will of those people was ignored do that certain councilmen could cater to the Revs. Now those people, mostly black, have had their say and the name changes back. It’s not racist at all.
DeleteNegate the vote. It was invalid.
ReplyDeleteOutright Fraud by Save the paseo group.
Oh, Chimpers, get real! The fraud is a furry poo-flinging silly monkey who hops around while hollering "This road won't be THROWED!"
DeleteI voted for changing it back because the process wasn’t done right to begin with. Not every city needs a MLK Street.
ReplyDeleteWhere was the racist screams when in 1975 the people along prospect avenue shot down changing prospect to mlk? Wouldn’t allow the change because of what again? Prospect has history right? The Paseo has 100 times more history than prospect evar will so.....
ReplyDeleteOh the big bad fat fake revs must be losing their minds tonight, including the racist manny cleaver, whoop whoop!
Kolored people should be mad at their supposed leaders for blowing this thing, if only they did this legally with another street......
IS CHUCK HOME FROM POPEYE'S YET? HE'S GONNA BE THRILLED!!! EMBRACE WHITE POWER!!!
ReplyDelete9:49 shut up dickhead, you fucking violent racist pig
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeletethe White people who PAY for the signs..and everything else! -- in the black neighborhoods have spoken.
Deal with it.
I’m thrilled so suck it bitch! Hahahahaha!
ReplyDelete9:52 now that’s funny right there!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteIf Kansas City is so racist why does KC have an African-American mayor, county executive, sheriff, and U.S. Representative? Kansas City has the largest number of voters within Jackson County BTW. So if KC was a hotbed of white racism it's not likely that any African-Americans would be elected to the above mentioned offices.
Also, with a turnout of less than 10%, doesn't that indicate that the African-American community really didn't care that much about the MLK/Paseo question?
Considering how many black voters we have, if they had been seriously committed to keeping the boulevard MLK wouldn't the vote results be much different?
Just asking.
Not to mention our black Congressman, Congressman Carwash Cleaver, is a deadbeat who doesn’t pay his bills and STILL gets elected. So not only is KC not racist, we are tolerant of deadbeats who don’t pay back bank loans and court judgments.
Deleteblack gruievance mongers kiss my white ass
ReplyDeleteThe mayor, clowncil and fat fake revs look like complete and utter failures after this fail, that’s all they care about anyway, is how they look
ReplyDeletePoor people get preachers and rich people get lawyers and politicians.
ReplyDeleteYeah, 10:06, EVERYBODY in the Kcorrupt Kcrumbling Kcrimmies Kcowtown GETS THROWED by Carwash, huh?
DeleteI see you racists are still trying to defend yourself. Who are you trying to convenience?
ReplyDeleteYour actions were racist and you have voted to subjugate another community.
What a disgusting thing you did. Anyone who voted for this doesn't believe in Democracy, they are nothing but an oppressor. KC deserves every bit of bad publicity it gets.
Except that this was a vote. Which is how democracy works.
DeleteOh, Chumpy-Chimpy, bad publicity AIN'T nothing new for this #5 murder momentum mess. Bunches of blighty houses, low-performing public schools, property tax trickery, and debt ratios disasters provides plenty of bad publicity!!!
DeleteQuinton and the fat fake revs got their asses kicked. It was a total beat down and they got their brainless heads caved in.
ReplyDeleteIt was never about MLK. It was completely about the dishonesty of the council and the fat fake lying racist revs.
What a manufactured "crisis"... KC has no MLK Street. We must name one immediately. We must save the Paseo now. Blah Blah Blah
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to see this pass because it was all wrong to begin with and I know it will drive that Fucking Funkhouser batshit crazy.
ReplyDelete^^^^ Lol!
DeleteI'm happy we will get The Paseo back. I always liked that name. I'm glad the city voters valued good government over race baiting hustlers - something our elected officials weren't willing to do.
ReplyDelete10:06 that’s some funny shit right there! Lmaorofl!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm very proud of the people in Kansas City who did the right thing in this vote. I could tell the enthusiasm from my friends who lived in the Northland to show their opinion and hopefully set City Hall back on the right track. We need to have good representative government that checks with the people and not the same old grifters who want to do backdoor deals. That's what I think the messages with this vote. It's not racism at all but good government for everyone. Great job KC MO!
ReplyDelete^^^ +1
DeleteIs everyone ok, Freedom INC is not use to loosing.
ReplyDeleteThe Bad publicity will not stop the Twenty Four million tourist A year that visit Kansas City it may bring more. All I want to do is have some fun until the sun comes up on The Paseo Blvd.
ReplyDeleteThey're plenty loose!
ReplyDeleteJust hang loose.
This vote is just a warm up.
Great job Kansas City! Next on city's to do list remove the streetcars and stop New KCI construction.
ReplyDeleteSmall victory against a city hall that doesn't listen.
ReplyDeleteThe billion dollar question now is how do we get the airport back?
they will probably fuck up the airport design

The real story - our politicians have such little skill in the game of power that they couldn't complete their brazen acts of corruption in the face of a grocery store petition.
ReplyDeleteThis was a good vote. Even if the turnout wasn't great. Glad to see the people who really care about our city support a good change.
ReplyDeleteNow maybe the city council will actually listen to the will of the people and not give in to the bullying of the fake revs. Too bad, I'm sure we're in for quite a show from the revs. I'm so glad I went and voted yesterday.
ReplyDeleteGood grief people, why does everyone keep ignoring the fact that there is an MLK Park in KC? That should be more than enough for a city that MLK had very little to do with besides making a speech to a small group here one time.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention, the black population needs to focus on real problems in their hood, not street names.
My Grandmother died at Martin Luther King, Jr Hospital. It was closed decades ago.
ReplyDeleteIt's on the same land as the Mormon church on Brooklyn.
ReplyDeleteRUSSIA is to blame.

ReplyDeletethe guys name is "mike"...
9:26 PM Fat, Black religious groups should NOT be enabled to make decisions arbitrarily in predominently Black neighborhoods, either. That is just as racsists as what you’re suggesting. In fact, what you’re stating is 100% fiction. The truth is, a ton of Black people, including myself voted to Save the Paseo because the wishes of a few elderly Black guys passing themselves off as religious leaders of Blackness is equally as wrong as suggesting that White people up North voted in favor of this. Unfortunately, for Black people, unity will only come in the form of trust and there is none among the Black community. How you degrade trust is having groups like these Black religious folk start making shady, underhanded dealings with politicians to do something merely because they wanted it. These types of actions breed mistrust, which is odd in and of itself that the religious group would do something like this. Black people have bigger issues confronting them and this should be a wake up call that the Black Revs on the Eastside don’t run shit but their mouths - and they’d be better suited to just shut the fuck up - and do what they signed up to do which is save souls in the most violent part of this town. Win at that - and we’ll see if they can win at much else.
ReplyDeleteNot only is Freedom Inc. not accustom to losing what they thought was a grip on the Black vote; but they are also bad losers. Winners without Freedom Inc. include Brandon Ellington and Alysia Canady, that I can name off the top of my hate. These detractors, together with their ailing fat, Black reverends can kiss my ass. I haven’t voted “the entire freedom inc.” ballot since I was a young, dumb kid who didn’t know better. Now, that I can read, interpret and make decisions on my own - nearly none of those people who are listed on those little yellow slips have represented my interests, despite having Black skin.
ReplyDeleteKansas City is not racist, just rational... but not all of the time. They elected fat-assed, self hating Sly James as Mayor. Anybody suggesting that Kansas City is racist with a nearly 50/50 split on black v white council people currently (the most the city has ever seen), Black Mayor, Black Sherrif, Black County Executive, Black this, that and the other - and none of it - has done a lick of good to change the Black experience/condition in Kansas City.
Black clergy represent themselves and only themselves. This name change was never the will of the people, it was the will of a super-minority; and it is them who are on this blog, anonymously, shouting racism - when the truth is plenty of Black people voted for this. Do White people outvote Blacks - yes - and it’s also a predominently White city with over 60% of the population being and/or identifying as White. I didn’t vote for White supremacy. I voted against Black religious domination... that’s the real racism - the elephant in the room. White people have got to stop giving their money to Freedom Inc. and acknowledging the false narrative that these preachers speak for or represent the interests of an entire people.
Long live Marcus Garvey & Brother Malcolm! Black people need to do some real work - and it has nothing to do with renaming streets. Learn to read, teach the community about financial literacy, but most importantly, build trust and positive relationships. Black people kill relationships and that’s mostly due to the instability of our emotional state. Deal with the hurt and the pain but you cannot find strength in misrepresenting people based on their color and making arbitrary decisions for people just because they are Black. That’s not strength or leadership, it’s fraud. Missouri ought to get tough on these types of groups and start prosecuting them. It’s not allowed in Kansas or anywhere else I know of.
Did not see any news coverage from the losing camp. Why?
ReplyDelete5:44 How ever it is done - it should be executed in a democratic way - like this vote. Gone are the days when Black Revs should be allowed to take these kinds of actions. It’s wrong.

Most of the votes were cast by blacks, they got nothing else to do all day.
ReplyDelete@5:28am makes some of the most courageous and accurate recommendations for the black community that have ever been on this blog or publicly stated anywhere else.
ReplyDeleteTheir comments should be picked up by the clueless Star editorial board.
But comments like these are shouted down by the very people who make believe that they're "leaders" in the black community hen in fact they continue to sow dysfunction and loss, all purely to benefit their own power and financial success.
Doing the same thing, the same way, with the same people and then blaming everything and everyone else for failure after failure.
It's too bad the elected "leaders" in KCMO and Jackson County have neither the imagination or courage to change the narrative.
Where there is no vision, the people perish.
Disgusting:
ReplyDeleteSly James
Jermaine Reed
E. Clever
All 8 of the City Council Members who voted for this renaming.
These folks should be voted out of office!!!
KCMO should pass an ordinance which would prohibit Reed and James to do any business or have any association of any kind with KCMO.
It is annoying that our street crews are now twice tasked with swapping out perfectly good street signs (paseo —> MLK; now MLK —> paseo) instead of focusing on more pressing needs, which if you drive a car or ride a bike or walk around our city streets/sidewalks you may have noticed the city is largely busted and fucked up so there’s so many needs .... this has been such a pointless distraction, stupid sentimentality and symbolism not substance.
ReplyDeleteWhoever said comment above about “ manufactured crisis” -exactly. The whole thing is really really stupid. It’s a good point about platte and clay county voters have a say on a street in a largely black part of town, but the response is Kansas City is in multi counties + democracy ...
Thanks,
Radish
