Followup on the fight over some long dead white guy . . .
More to the point and related to drama which MSM can't describe or don't understand . . .
This move says more about the ongoing bad relationship betwixt the EXEC Vs. The Legislature and not the current campaign season culture war.
However . . .
THERE'S A VERY REAL CHANCE THAT VOTERS MIGHT ENDORSE THE MONUMENT TO SLAVER PREZ JACKSON!!!
None of this is a good look for the county but a nice distraction until new higher property tax values are eventually revealed.

KSHB: Jackson County legislators override White statue veto
Deets on the downtown KCMO tribute to a REALLY racist Prez:
"After concerns were raised about the history of Andrew Jackson, Jackson County legislators passed an ordinance earlier this summer that would ask voters in November whether to remove the statue. Last week, County Executive Frank White vetoed that legislation, asking legislators to instead vote themselves on whether or not to keep the statue. On Monday, legislators voted to override White’s veto, putting the question back on the November ballot."
Accordingly . . .
JAXCO VOTERS: WILL YOU KEEP OR REBUKE THE ANDREW JACKSON MONUMENT AT THE COURTHOUSE?!?
Bad news here all around . . . A vote to keep it will make this part of the metro look backward and cost a great deal of cash over time. However, a vote to remove will acquiesce to vandals who might have been more productive in starting a grassroots campaign and gathering petitions before grabbing spray paint.
Developing . . .
Save taxpayers money. Take it down and don't replace it. Public art is just another scam for politicians.
ReplyDeleteSave the taxpayers money by not removing it.

Frank is just like Lick Ass. The children kick and scream so you buy them ice cream.
ReplyDeleteKeep AJ high on a pedestal!
ReplyDeleteLiberals react based on emotions not intellect. Reason the voting age should be raised to 25. Maturity brings the world into focus and the cruel realities become evident that you cannot save the world. Using your brains and patience the voters will decide.
ReplyDeleteKeep the statue.
ReplyDeleteNo Brainer. Incorrigable slave owner AJ's not worth the fight. He should least of all be standing in front of a courthouse as a symbol of anything but appalling genocidal intent.
ReplyDeleteHe is credited with originating the term "final solution" and was much admired by the Nazi Regime for his sytematic genocide against Native Peoples. Hence the adoption of that same term by Nazi Germany in their own genocidal pursuit of atrocities.
History... those who don't remember it are bound to repeat it. Jackson's done. Stick a fork in him. Next...the twenty dollar bill. Good riddance to another hero/sociopath.
Weak races die and complain while it happens, it is human history. Assimilate or disappear.
DeleteYou do no one any favors by erasing and propagandizing the history that challenges you. Jackson is bigger than your sound-bite purity test baby's view of history.
Deletejackson's actions in the battle of new orleans involved assembling all types of ethnicities and even criminal pirates to defeat the british. it was pure americanism and is partially responsible for our country being here today.
ReplyDeleteIf we had politicians like Andrew Jackson instead of broke-dick derelicts like Frank White, maybe Jackson County wouldn’t be the shithole it is.
ReplyDeleteThe whole renaming and statue removal "movement" was silly when it started and time just makes these folks look more ridiculous and the "issue" even more irrelevant.
ReplyDeleteKCMO has 110 murders so far this year.
90%+ are black-on-black homicides,
And these elected and appointed clowns are trying to one-up each other over statues and the names of fountains.
If they want the Jackson statue removed, they really need to be honest and change the name of the county.
The same is true for Johnson County, Ks.
The children need to get off the streets, the rabble rousers need to go back to their jobs, whatever those may be, and the elected people need to get serious and for once try to do what's best for the residents they claim to represent.
There are huge issues of health, crime, and financial challenges.
Get serious!
Leave the statue, remove Dumb fuck Frank White.
ReplyDeleteDefund Frank hates whites!
ReplyDeleteFrank should be more worried of why there are so many murders committed by Blacks in the city, why so many young black children die because of black men. A Statue hasn't killed anyone, not even the dumb ass the got crushed toppling one. Frank we are hovering around 110 murders in the KC Metro. Do something about it.
ReplyDeleteI will vote for anything that Frank White is against!!!!!
