We notice local social media filling up with "opinions" on this bit of political signage and street level politics that might spark even more petty infighting among the always angsty middle-class denizens of Kansas City.
To wit . . .
BLACK LIVES MATTER SIGNS COMING SOON TO MOSTLY WHITE BROOKSIDE & WALDO HAVE SPARKED STRONG SUPPORT AND SOME HATERATION!!!
A young lady activist is spreading the word and earning accolades from middle-class housewives and more . . . So far she has 125 signs going up soon with hundreds more homeowners waiting for a chance to donate and take part in the effort. Meanwhile a few angry residents are too scared to comment publicity and fear rebuke from their otherwise enthusiastic neighbors.
Whilst it's important not to get too worked up by a piece of cardboard . . . Some locals are surprised by the support of their neighbors of cultural shift that's not yet completely understood.

ReplyDeleteHope she's selling them for 50 bucks a pop. Might as well make people pay for their pride.
Do that brookside then open your doors and let them have everything cause that’s what will happen. THEY WILL OWN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS
ReplyDeleteOur block of seven houses 4 on the market about to be five.

ReplyDeleteTHE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
ReplyDeleteby Rudyard Kipling
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy -- willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
717 YOU HAVETO GET OUT OF YOUR BASEMENT
ReplyDeleteCivil war in KILLA city = liberals kill liberals have fun
ReplyDelete^^Says the lazy fat boy to broke to move from here. White-trash idiot.
ReplyDeleteThey are hoping the signs in the front yard will keep their houses from being broken into. Not going to work.
ReplyDelete^^Sure thing Boomer.
ReplyDeleteAnd how many blacks were killed last night by another black person? We need a new pandemic to kill this latest fad.
ReplyDeletePublic shaming signs in the front yard. Straight out of the communist playbook. The next step is for teachers to ask kids to tell on parents who don't support black lies matter.
ReplyDeleteBINGO!!!!!
Delete^^^^A lot of truth to that!
ReplyDelete"OK Boomer," “Geezer” or another variation used in a disparaging tone = the new N-word equivalent phrase that tries to diminish and dehumanize the elderly and make them sound stupid in a “hip” way. Imagine if people started saying, "OK N****r." Age discrimination and elder abuse are alive and well in America, and these issues are as disgusting, shameful and wrong as racism.
ReplyDeleteIt's called sucking up so they don't become part of these statistics ...
ReplyDeleteBlack males aged 15-35 make up 3% of the nation’s population and are responsible for:
53% of all mass shootings
52% of all homicides
42% of all murders of on duty police
30% of all rapes,
56% of all robberies
33% of all aggravated assaults
30% of all burglaries
38% of all 'Violent Crime'
33% of all crimes against 'families and children'
You are not by “brother” or my “sister” because we have the same complexion. My relationships are built on character. I have nothing in common with any person that pressed the barrel of a gun into a pregnant woman’s stomach.
ReplyDeleteInsinuating that I must, is racist.
Fuck BLM
Wait til it's time to cut the grass - darn sign is in the way, messes up the rhythm.

ReplyDeleteI live in Brookside and you won’t see any Black Lives Matter bullshit on my property. I am opposed to all black causes.
ReplyDeleteThey should rename Brookside to Alvin Brookside.
ReplyDelete^^and yet he didn't and your wife is dead. Hahahahah. Weird.
ReplyDeleteThis will start a new “white flight”. The last one was devestating.
ReplyDeleteWAY BETTER THAN SEEING TRUMP SIGNS

ReplyDeletebrookside might be suitable as an autonomous zone: grocery stores, drug store, coffee shops, postoffice, party store, etc.
