MSM reporting of local BLM murals has been complimentary and upbeat despite a great deal of local criticism regarding this display.
Don't forget that recall petitioners list the Mayor's endorsement of these murals as part of their case against him.
Still . . . Local coverage focuses on community volunteers and artistic inspiration.
A couple of examples out of many:
Fox4: Multiple ‘Black Lives Matter’ murals unveiled around Kansas City
KMBC: Artists work to create 6 Black Lives Matter street murals in KC
At the risk of pointing out the obvious, what surprised us is that the majority of local, artsy volunteers were white.
Accordingly . . .
THE KANSAS CITY DEBATE OVER BLM MURALS IS NOTHING MORE THAN TYPICAL PARTISAN CAMPAIGN SEASON SLAP FIGHTING AMONG THE LAST REMNANTS OF MIDDLE-CLASS WHITE PEOPLE!!!
Sure, this discussion can get racially charged but a close look at the artistic endeavor reveals quite a few young, white denizens of the creative-class looking to step up to the forefront of this movement.
Cringe-y money line:
“I learned it is about getting the message out there, because this isn’t going to fix any of the problems any time soon, but it’s going to get awareness. Awareness that black folks are people too, and we need to listen to their stories too,” One white guy said.
And so, after Sunday morning contemplation, the hopeful conclusion we've reached is that, in Kansas City, BLM murals have only worsened racial divisions betwixt differing factions of white people fighting over petty political differences which distinguish two sides of the same coin.
Developing . . .
a great day for Kansas City.
ReplyDeletethe murals really are a sign of unity.
Saw this comment here yesterday and it was right on the money:
DeleteThe murals probably given Trump an extra 10,000 votes from KC.
Yet, when you look at the county voting in the primary, voters overwhelmingly picked Biden of Trump. Weird.
DeleteNo, they're not. They're a symbol of just how useless black advocacy organizations are in doing anything tangible and useful.
DeleteVirtue signaling? No problem.
You call it unity painting BLM BULLSHIT ON THE STREETS. Your fucking insane.
DeleteMaybe it is white vs. white. But so was another conflict that started in 1861.
ReplyDeleteBut doesn't don john think that everyone but is just a sucker or a loser?
DeleteIrony: cops guarding the BLM "artists", some of the same woke folks who just this summer were hurling bricks and rocks at the cops.
ReplyDeleteThat's right. Doesn't make sense. The cops have more important things to do instead of watching a bunch of losers paint.
DeleteThis is placating those with the minds of children.
ReplyDeletePoliticians and the media let this happen when they didn't call out the irrational behaviors and false narratives promoted by BLM. Black leaders have failed to lead their flocks with clear analytical thinking.
The audacity to defend and deify criminals is insanity.
BLACK-LIVES-MANIPULATED
Denver restaurants were invaded for a 2nd night by the planet of the apes crew. They don't want converts. They want to fuck shit up for whitey and ruin their white table cloth experience. I can see this happening at Cheesecake Factory on Plaza. RAISE YOUR FISTS YOU SCUMMY CRACKERS!
ReplyDeleteMurals on public property is an exercise by BLM to erode resistence to laws and ordinances paving the way for exclusive and only voice in all matters.
ReplyDeleteDiscriminating in Favor Of is just as bad as Discriminating Against.
8:09 stop reading and watching CNN. They had Hillary winning also and she didn't.
ReplyDeleteAll these "messages" are directed to the WRONG people.
ReplyDeleteAs all the marches, protests, riots, speeches, demands, paintings, and other self-important activities are taking place, in KCMO the black-on-black homicides continue at a record pace.
Apparently black lives really don't matter to other similar folks and the notion that black lives have meaning is ignored every day.
How anyone can take all this pointless talking and nonsense seriously when it comes from the same people who have nothing at all to say about people killing each other is really hard to understand.
But the narrative must continue and what passes for local "media" continues to be swept along with the mob.
Sad.
Judt like in New York. Over a thousand murders in that city this year. No wonder everyone who can is leaving that trashed city.ost murders are black on black. BLM IS A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT.
DeleteWhat artist wouldn't love to paint all over a street. Look how many show up to do caulk pictures on the sidewalks. Those artist could care less about BLM they just want the recondition as the artist who did the work.
ReplyDeleteBut as Tony points out here, "the majority of local artsy volunteers were white." See it takes white people making sure something gets done for the black people because on their own they'd have never got the paint bought let alone have done all the work. Yes it takes white people every day taking care of the black people who are to lazy to do for themselves.
Amen. Lazy bun h of scum.
DeleteI expect BIKEKC will come out against the Murals soon, they painted over the bicycle thing painted on the road. This can not stand!
ReplyDeleteThis is a feeble attempt by the boy blunder for a look at me can I get on national tv again, realistically people in kc aren’t racist and don’t give a shit about murals that do nothing to stop black on black murders. The problem holding kc down is blacks killing theyselves, white people wont get involved in this climate today because blacks are calling whitey racist pigs. Between faglips Lucas, the cleave and all the fat fake revs there’s money to be made if the fake racism continues. This has nothing to do with anything other than making money off of the spilled blood of their own people. And they plan on keeping it that way.
ReplyDeleteThis just raises the bar on differences in race relations, it sure does not improve them. Forcing BLM down the throats of the majority of residents will make them flee KCMO. With it goes their tax dollars. With it goes their philanthropy. This is a bad move and it won't be forgotten soon.
ReplyDeleteScrew kc Missouri. Its getting to be a bigger shithole. Nothing has changed with a new mayor and it won't until they elect a Republican to change things around.

ReplyDeleteBLM murals were white people because they are ANTIFA sympathizers. A lot of black people don't agree with BLM. As a matter of fact there are more that don't than do. This organization has duped some white liberals with no brains into the fact that black people are victims. Racism has existed for thousands of years and isn't going to stop. The BLM organization is only making racial tensions against black people worse and for those black people who don't agree with BLM. Most black people who disagree with BLM refer to it as the black KKK aka black panthers( which BTW started this movement.) This is a hate group and most people in this country see it as a hate group. I for one have seen racism against white people in Kansas City in job employment, promotions, and housing that is sickening.
Lawsuits waiting to happen.
ReplyDeletethese white wolk fools the white woman especially being manipulated by white guilt complex that has been hoisted onto them by the media and the blm movement they are driving a huge rift in the white community so they can divide and conquer our society and they are winning this fight and i fear its to late to turn back in other words we have lost this war and our country
ReplyDeleteAll these white artists got paid remember, they don’t give a fuck what they were told to paint because paychecks are involved. The paint was paid for through “supposed donations” and the artists are getting $12,000 per mural. The city still has to eat everything else, will Lucas lay-off more white people to cover security for murals that nobody cares about? We haven’t even got to the 12 banners hanging off of buildings yet, all of which is massive overkill.
ReplyDeleteThey were out of work. That was easier to do than to get a real job a sweat in the heat.
DeleteBooga, booga. That just about sums it up.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the racism BLM supporters do to Native Americans?
ReplyDeleteAnyone claiming this is someone else's land is racist. This is the first people's land, we got here first!
8:50 Too late, you snooze you lose.
ReplyDelete8:38 the new thing now is black people are being more aggressive against white people by staring at them and calling white people names and threatening them with taking their money, cars, houses and threats of violence against them. This thing has been made worse by the mayors and the clowncil actions or in this case inaction, they have no idea what they’ve done is create a violent and dangerous atmosphere among black people against white people, a war is coming people and Lucas started it.
ReplyDeleteThose of us non-woke white people. Which is a big majority, are tired of Antifa, BLM, and the politicians who support them. Has the movement improved the lives of any of these
Deletepeople, NO. They placate the idiots that vote for the Dems and think they’ll get something beyond a painting, which most people detest. The politicians pandering to these violent groups will be gone in November. They are filled with hate and immaturity beyond measure and most intelligent people understand what these fools have been up to.
8:54 that is true I have lost count how many times I have been called a white bitch of late.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I am waiting for a reason to knock on of these fuckers into the next world. But, they are stupid enough, they are doing it to themselves. It’s easier to be a low-life, lazy POS, than to truly work for changes they want made. Every time one of them is plunked by a
DeleteCop, they riot. Doesn’t matter the perp has a weapon or was threatening the cop. I bet, when they realize, “yes, I am going to get shot” their eyes get big, and an “oh shit MFer” is uttered. Would love to have some of these on video, up close and personal.
Black Licensed Mayhem
ReplyDeletePosted the below on Fox News comments. I take every opportunity to make sure the country knows how fucked up KC is.
ReplyDelete"Well, my home town, KC, MO, is surely safer today as the city clowncil and mayor paint BLM in huge letters in six different locations on the streets. If they painted Black Lives Murdered at all locations where that happened, an entire section to town would be "woke". Mayor hoping for job in DC if Hidin' wins, as does the former silverback Sly James. Oh, wear your masks."
Some one needs to paint over all that shit late at night. They probably pay the police to watch it 24/7.
DeleteThat would stir up the inmates.
DeleteLooks like something designed for people with an average IQ one standard deviation below the mean.
ReplyDeleteBlm has been around since 2007, raised over a billion dollars and still has not fed one hungry child or family, put one kid into college on a scholarship, housed one poor homeless family, but the jewish founders and executives controling the money have been paid millions.
ReplyDeleteThey use the money to buy weapons for the riots and to stoke hatred. We will soon see the money trail and these backers are
DeleteGoing to be doing time, Federally. Same as giving money to ISIS.....federal crime and the local negras won’t have a pot to piss in.

it is indeed a sad day. I really thought KC was above this racist painting of the streets. Just tells you that the squeaky wheel gets the oil and our Council fell for it AGAIN!
ReplyDelete@ 9:31
ReplyDeleteExactly. A big money scam. Maybe the biggest ever. All those millions of dollars going to activists, politicians, politicians friends, etc, in the name of "black lives". Wow.
8:54: And maybe there's some payback there for the way blacks have been treated in the past. I wouldn't worry too much about it until they start lynching whites for not stepping off the sidewalk or taking off their hats when a white person walks by.
ReplyDeleteHow about you sign up for masochistic, white guilt 'payback', while the rest of us try to function normally without harassment?

ReplyDeleteLiberal White Guilt Matters!
Defacing Public Property Matters!
Manipulating Blacks Into Agitators Matter!
Promoting A Communist Anti-American BLM Organization Matters!
Having A Schizo Narcissist As Mayor Matters!
A Democratic Presidential Nominee With Dementia Matters!
An Elitist House Speaker Who Refuses To Send Americans A 2nd Stimulus Check Matters!!!
I really hope these messages quell the violence in Kansas City and save lives...
ReplyDeleteBahahahahahaha....
Virtue-signalling at its finest. KC can't have an original idea. What's next Mayor? BLM-painted cows?
The only cows blacks are interested in are welfare cows.
ReplyDeleteSo f--king raciest and stupid. God only hopes mature minds take back the city.
ReplyDeleteIn all these cases that get purposely blown up by the media for propaganda, we're led to believe that a Black person was peacefully walking down the sidewalk, and a bored racist officer killed them for sport? WRONG! Couldn't be more wrong!
ReplyDeleteGeorge Floyd (Minneapolis MN) - passing counterfeit currency, under the influence of illicit drugs, refusing police orders, resisting arrest, etc. Minneapolis has a Democrat Mayor.
Rayshard Brooks (Atlanta) - passed out in a Wendy's drive-thru, under the influence, resisting arrest, assault on a police officer, fleeing and eluding, attempted murder of police officer. Atlanta has a Democrat Mayor.
Jacob Blake (Kenosha WI) - involved in a domestic dispute, refused police orders, assault on police officer, armed with a knife, was only shot after Taser failed to subdue him. Kenosha has a Democrat Mayor.
Daniel Prude (Rochester) - with acute intoxication of PCP, Prude was running naked in the streets, telling people he had coronavirus, spitting on officers, resisting arrest, assault on police officer, etc. Rochester has a Democrat Mayor.
In almost all these cases, police officers only used force when the subject failed to comply with lawful orders and turned violent.
What's killing Black men across the country when they interact with police? THEIR OWN STUPIDITY! If you want to potentially die, then break the law, get stopped by police, refuse to comply, assault officers, and let's see what happens.
"This is what happens when a "college professor" becomes Mayor.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Dumb people start complaining. I agree.
That's your best rebuttal, 11:57? Yikes.
ReplyDeleteAwareness? How could we be more aware of record-setting black violence and chaos?
ReplyDeleteAnd yet it's a damn good rebuttal. Concise and to the point, unlike the post at 11:15. Weird.
ReplyDelete^ ^ Ant yet retarded. Weird.
ReplyDeleteCollege Professors are really not very bright and 90% are homosexual. They muddled through undergrad; couldn't get hired, so just stayed in school.
ReplyDeletePlus, colleges provide them fertile ground to prey on young men and women. Academia is a cesspool of deviant behavior.
Lucas was not a college professor. He was a lecturer.
Delete^^^^^True Dat
ReplyDelete12:55: In other words, you never finished high school.
ReplyDeleteVirtually every nationality that has migrated to America - Irish, Italian, German, Jewish - was met with initial resistance by those already here. After a couple of generations they assimilated, and were viewed simply as Americans. It appears this is happening/has also happened with the two groups who are the latest to move to the USA . . . Hispanics and Asians.
ReplyDeleteThat "waiting period" - which inevitably involves all sorts of bigotry - is not what a civilized person would wish. But realistically, that is how man has functioned since he began walking upright. People are leery of strangers for all sorts of reasons, with the biggest one perhaps being "those foreigners are gonna' take what's mine."
Only African Americans seems to have a high percentage of their population that never conformed or wished to fit in. Maybe it's because some of their ancestors were brought here by force. Or, maybe, it's because liberal dogma and policy has kept them impoverished to assure a perpetual talking point and voting bloc.
If I was Hispanic or Asian I might be a bit pissed that African Americans - who have been here a LONG time - are receiving benefits and accolades that they - as relative newcomers who generally work VERY hard to make a new life in a new country - have never received.
If I was Hispanic or Asian, I'd probably be thinking about voting Republican rather than Democrat come November. The Democrats may have the white millennials and the African Americans, but they're very close to losing the other minority groups they've suddenly deemed expendable (just like they lost white, blue collar folks).
The Democrats used to be a party of the working people. They have migrated to a party of left wing fringe terrorist groups, supporting violence and communism. They are imploding.
DeleteAnd maybe, just maybe, it was because they were never allowed to fit in, oh clueless one.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeletethe trouble with Lucas..and Sly, for that matter ,,..is that they're too "blacK"..
we need to get a Mullato , like Barry, who's half-White, into office. Their White genes will keep him, or her, from fucking up too bad.
@1:45 - From 1965 to today, Blacks have been given $ trillions of white taxpayer funds for new schhols, new housing, Pell Grants, scholarships, food stamps, and welfare.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet as a culture, Blacks have regressed instead of progressed blaming others for their failures,
Affirmative Action and EEOC give Blacks preferentail hiring and advancement over white people.
And yet, people like you whine and whine.
Meanwhile since 1965, Hispanics, Vietnamese, and other Asians have rolled up their sleeves and worked hard and contribute in a positive manner which is recogized by Americans.
There is something inherently wrong with black culture that expects continous handouts and welfare while acting violently and uncivilized,
When are the matching murals of Karl Marx going to be painted on the walls or streets to go with the anti-American Marxist BLM organization letters?
ReplyDeleteHell listen to the lyrics if the music young blacks listen to. They glorify violence, drugs and treating women like meat. Now we go and spend tax money to add to the glorification of tugs ? WTF is wrong with everybody ? Resisting arrest has caused all this. Blacks have an attitude problem that they need to address. Whitey cannot save you. I am more raciest now because of all BLM BS. They are screwing up every thing from our streets to entertainment. I from now on because of this festering scab placed on blacks attitudes is to have nothing to do with any of them or anything that supports this insanity.

Most of these young blacks will never amount to anything or leave a positive mark on society. They are afraid of everything......you want to see a race that is afraid of Corona....WOW, blacks have seen a
ReplyDeleteghost. They are, morally, bankrupt, and their idols are thieves and thugs. Bottom line is conservative blacks are great contributors to society. The others will be forgotten within hours of killing one another or getting justifiably killed by cops.
I am done with the balloon releases and the charity food drives. Be part of an inclusive society or be part of the thug society. This mural crap has just stopped me from giving money to any black person again ever for anything. Pay your rent lowlifes. Quit killing each other and realize it is work and a job that makes you better. Get an education. Contribute to the world and quit being a taker. Fix those things then I'll change. I am not keeping you down you do it to yourself. Weird.
ReplyDeleteAmen, 4:01 PM. Well said.
DeleteAnd the blacks will eventually turn against their non-black supporters (they always do) for not being black enough.
Instead of "Black Lives Matter," the murals should be painted to say "Don't Resist Arrest" and "Obey Police Orders." If that advice was heeded, those words of wisdom would save more lives in the future than any other sh*t they can write on the streets. But it still doesn't help the more than 7,000 black-on-black murders that far outnumber any offenses by the police. The Democrapic Party, BLM, NAACP, Kaepernick, Al Sharpton and others know where big money can be made.
ReplyDeleteSly James Life Matters
ReplyDeleteUggg ni#### fatigue

ReplyDeleteHa, good one.
Keep up the good work BLM! The longer that this silly shit goes on, only helps to grow the Republican Party. Good people are fucking tired of being told that they are racist. The louder you get, the less we listen.
ReplyDeleteDEFUND Brookside police to achieve justice and harmony.

how is the great Southwest High School in Brookside doing these days?
ReplyDeletehopefully the Brookside street will be closed forever, so as to preserve the art.

Idea: Border Star should get murals on its ugly brick walls
ReplyDelete^^^ police are watching. And you're inciting destruction. Typical Trump IDIOT.
ReplyDeleteTrump voters hate America and hate the troops.
The best the Libs could do is Hiden Joe? What an embarrassment. Trump voters are sick of the BLM violence and the jokes of politicians that have thrown in with them. Dems are the land of mid-fit toys promoting crime and socialism. You must be proud.
DeleteHe's not suggesting anybody burn or steal Democrat Mayors do.
ReplyDeleteTrump loves the military and police.
ReplyDeleteCommunist Democrats make up another total lie that Trump was disparaging to the military.
The Communist Democrats are getting desperate.
Bidens, Clintons and Obama's desperation is that as more documents are declassified more evidence is pointing to illegal wiretapping of President Trumps family and campaign headquarters in 2016.
Biden, Hillary Clinton and Obama may be in prison this time next year.
Possibly Adam Shittz and Nadler as well. Those two will be the convicts favorite butt boys in the shower rooms.
The Democrat Party Primary was fixed to nominate Biden.
ReplyDeleteThe Democrats desperately need Biden as President in order to cover-up the illegal wire-tapping and criminal Russian collusion fabrications.
The Demoncraps are going to have a "lie-a-day" about Trump on their satanic calendar. Good luck taking the edge off the Durham Report.
ReplyDelete1:41 Excellent comments. I live next door to a young Viet family, who replaced a black woman who defaulted. She was okay, but the hangers-on had the cops out here weekly. I lost lawn power equipment, and everything had to be double locked up, after years of not having to do so. I shudder to contemplate another nearby black neighbor.
ReplyDeleteBy contrast, these people (who escaped the Communist regime in Nam) are Great neighbors!!!!!!!!!! As homes turn over in the neighborhood< I hope more locate near me. Friendly, helpful, hard working and full of laughter with an obvious love of family. In short, I feel fortunate to enjoy their friendship.
The Nazi 2020 Murals have arrived .... Darky on Darky crime is because of their Dog Shit culture ! The black community is a mess because of culture ! Not slavery or systemic racism. The narrative is wrong ...
ReplyDeleteThe black race is a failed race. 80%+ illegitimate...surviving on EBT and Section 8...rampant criminality and homicides...low genetic IQs combined with failed schools combined with inability to learn...gangs and drugs rampant. Who the hell wants this trash in your neighborhood?
