Actually, there have been a number of suburban marches and rallies already throughout the Kansas City metro but now national leaders seemingly hope to take the fight against inequality and police brutality to the suburbs.
Here's the best roundup article . . .
‘I guess America is finally listening.’ Why George Floyd protests have spread to affluent white suburbs
A quick rundown . . .
This week protesters will march and protest in Prairie Village.
Downtown Overland Park authorities are organizing to accommodate a protest rally.
Most importantly, we're hearing a great deal of concern about demonstrations in Lee's Summit.
Thankfully, over the past few days we've, thankfully, seen the tone of the protest calm down and become decidedly more peaceful and reverent.
To wit . . .
THE PUSH FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE IS QUICKLY MOVING PAST PROGRESSIVE KCMO & INTO MORE CONSERVATIVE LOCAL ENCLAVES!!!
Developing . . .
Good for them.
ReplyDeleteThere should be more protests and and free speech for EVERYONE. As long as they're peaceful. This is America after all.
^^^
Delete+100
And yet many aren't peaceful. Weird.
Deletesadly, you'll see some idiots doing counter protests in their own backyard.
ReplyDelete^^^
DeleteMaybe. But you'll also see a lot of supporters.
Don't forget about independence. There was a rally at the courthouse today.
ReplyDeletePlease don't get too much into the Golden GETTO , MANY PEOPLE are armed up to protect them and their families , freedom is great , don't want to be comprised by the riot's !!
ReplyDeleteDont forget to protest north of the river. They absolutely hate black people.
ReplyDeleteThis is getting tiresome people. We have information at everyone's fingertips. Look up the data. It's there in the public record for anyone to see that makes the effort. The numbers do not support the BLM narrative plain and simple. Please no yeah, but...
ReplyDeleteJust look it up, if you ask the right questions you will find the correct answers. This is not the righteous movement of Martin Luther King Jr by any stretch of the imagination. It is movement all right but for the wrong reasons and in the wrong direction.
It's a movement all right- a fucking smelly brown bowel movement, clogging our streets and fouling the very country Donald Trumo Made Grate Again!!! We will overcome this foul stench! MAGA! KAG! KER! SUF!
Delete12:28 AM As pissed off as I am about these false narratives being pushed by Black Lies Matter, what you say is a little over the top even for a redneck peckerwood like me to puke out.
ReplyDeletePeople in joco kansas have the highest CCW licenses and most guns owned of any county in Kansas. I hope everyone behaves, no looting, no home break ins or car vandalism. Wealthy people dont have much gun training and feel like they can do anything they want. And sadly some value property over life. Probably not a good idea to do JOCO. HOw about writing or contacting your congressman instead?
ReplyDelete"I cant breath". The final words of 107,000 Americans who died of Covid19 since Valentines Day. The threat to society is really a virus. Lets work on containing it before another 100,000 die.
ReplyDeleteGood thing flu deaths have dropped to basically nothing, as well as significant reductions in most other common mortalities. Overall the nation to date has experienced a 1% increase over expected mortalities, within the margin of error. Missouri is 8% lower than expected. So the boogeyman that wasn't.
DeleteWonder how many Plaza area protesters are going to write $1,200 donation checks to organizations that lobby for African American rights? You know, donate their entire recent stimulas check to the cause of equality? What - you say NONE? They just want to stand and be seen in public? What good is that - none! Put your money where your mouth is- donate till it hurts, hire lobbists, fund trips to DC for city leaders, help the poorest black families, donate to George's family too. What - your NOT GOING TO DONATE A DIME? Hypocrits!
ReplyDeleteShameful, the movement over truth at all costs. Building narratives with feet of clay.
ReplyDeleteBlack Lies Matter obvious but unspoken agenda:
DEMONIZE AND SANITIZE.
Demonize white people while sanitizing the Black Criminals. Sorry going be hard to sanitize the stink off this time. BLM has taken this Worldwide. Looks like there is no place on earth that blacks are not the victims.
Fucking amazing that Covid-19 can't hold a candle to this circus. Evidently shows leadership feels NO LIVES MATTER to push this horse shit bandwagon through streets of every major city on the planet, virus be damned. Can you say Ventilators boys and girls?
White people don't need anyone to "demonize" them. The actual history of horrible sh-t white people have done with the power they largely lucked into over the past couple thousand years does that all on its own.
DeleteBut we can do better.
We must do better.
The mayor of DC has now painted a street with "Black Lives Matter" that's visible from space.
Minneapolis is looking to disband their whole police force, and rebuild it from scratch.
Can't wait for this election so the Dems and lackey will go back to ignoring the blacks for four more years.
ReplyDeleteTHE NORTHLAND IS THE NEW SOUTHLAND BYE BYE WHITE PEOPLE BYE BYE NORTHLAND BYE BYE KILLA CITY. THE LIBS WILL BE THE END OF THAT GHETTO WHEN THE TAX REVENUES RUN OUT YOU HAVE DETROIT OH PS BYE BYE PENSIONS ALL YOU CITY WORKER LIBERALS

ReplyDeleteTHATS DEMOCRAT FOR YOU RETARDS OUT THERE
ReplyDeleteNothing like infecting the minds of children, when they started hiring teenagers to do their bidding I had enough. The media has been brain washing Americans for four years and now it’s the children’s turn. The media and the libtards will stop at nothing to ruin this country.
ReplyDeleteThese days any point of view different from your own *looks like* brainwashing.
DeleteHave you noticed that?
WHITE FEATHER - ATTEMPT AT PUBLIC SHAMING. This is being organized by a church group. ANY CHURCHES THAT PROMOTE OR PARTICIPATE AS A CHURCH SHOULD LOSE TAX EXEMPT STATUS!
ReplyDeleteBlack Lies Matter
ReplyDeleteDo none of these people work?
ReplyDeleteRemember the part where a whole lot of people got laid off because there's a global pandemic?
DeleteWish I had this much free time. Instead, I'm helping people in need with their daily tasks and trying to improve myself mentally and physically. They now need to go to St. Louis and protest the young man suspected of killing David Dorn, the black retired police officer who was protecting his friend's pawn shop.
ReplyDeleteBlack baseball and football players make roughly 100 times what the average white collar 'White" american makes. Just for playing a kids game. Baseball or football. Yes these blacks earn 100 times what whites do. Where is the equality?
ReplyDeleteCome f*ck with me or mine in my home??? I'll mow everyone of you black OR white n*****s down with my legal AR-15 and every weapon I have till I'm taken out! But I'll take everyone of you POS that I can with me to hell. Come on down, LET'S PARTY!
ReplyDeleteIt seems odd you're threatening to murder peaceful protesters marching down your street.
DeleteIt's as though you don't respect the first amendment -- which kind of invalidates your implicit invocation of the second amendment.
Go away you weak, scared coward.
Hide inside your house with the door rigged up with a shotgun trap.
You threaten to murder, so no one wants to play with you.
"The numbers do not support the BLM narrative plain and simple. Please no yeah, but..."
ReplyDeleteAnd yet the numbers support the BLM narrative. Weird.
And caps lock guy is once again off his meds.
ReplyDeleteIn the U.S., nine unarmed were black men shot by a police officer, while 20 unarmed white men were shot in 2019. Unarmed doesn't necessarily mean they weren't trying to take the officer's gun, or choke or beat them, so these figures might be skewed a bit. Yet, contrast those figures with about 7,000 black men killed in the U.S. by other black men. One category of deaths brings a lot of money to the NACCP, BLM and other groups when it occurs, and the other category doesn't. Like most things in life, follow the money.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: How many kids from SME, Pembroke, Rockhurst, and St. Theresa's will write their college application essay about how they fought racism in their community by organizing a BLM rally in Prairie Village/MIssion HIlls? Answer: All of them. It's really not even a question. The real question is whether it's appropriate to wear Lululemon to a BLM rally, and if not where can they shop for rally appropriate clothing.
ReplyDelete^^I don't know Maude, did you ask them? Why are you asking such dumb questions?
ReplyDelete^^ Ok junior why does Black Lives Matter totally ignore the epidemic of black on black killings in this country? Come on Maude, give us an intelligent answer for a change.
ReplyDelete"Black on black killings": is really just a messed up whataboutism way to suggest that it's no big deal if a police officer occasionally murders a citizen with impunity.
DeleteI'm just sick unto death of watching police officers murder citizens with impunity. And I want it to stop.
The fact that, when the cop does this, it seems to *always* be a black dude kinda makes it worse.
But mostly: I just want the laws that apply to all non-cops to apply to cops as well.
^^OK Boomer. Sit down & shut up.
ReplyDelete1:36am says it best. JoCo is no place for this sort of thing and any city governments that agreed to it are going to regret it when there’s property damage, etc. and residents take matters into their own hands.
ReplyDeleteInnocent until proven guilty right?
DeleteBut you've just gone and decided that destruction would just automatically happen.
Why do you assume that?
I'm white. I live north of the river.
ReplyDeleteI support Black Lives Matter.
