For our early morning Sunday readers one of our most KICK-ASS TKC TIPSTERS offers a practical perspecrive on our street level culture war.
To wit . . .
THE PAINT ON KANSAS CITY BLM MURALS HAVE QUICKLY STARTED TO FADE!!!
Here's the story, the photo confirmation and a sign that a touchup might soon be in order . . .
"TKC, taking a walk through Brookside this morning, I noticed that traffic is already wearing off the murals where people slow down and accelerate through the Meyer intersection. I know that it was said that they were going to use some kind of sealant on them to protect them, but if there is anything it is not adding much more than a sheen. So far the damage is modest, but I assume after an entire winter in Kansas City that the murals are all going to be pretty roughed up."
"Some of the more excitable people on this blog might want to calm down. These things are not going to survive. It’s kind of a pity, because so much effort went into them. However the money could’ve been better spent. Thought I would pass a couple photos along to you."

Everything fades.
But also, climate change is the result of systemic racism.
^^^
only a tinfoil hat can save you. Weird.
So this means that they'll probably need some (more) city hall money.
"Ruffed up"? I hadn't considered the idea that dogs were peeing on them.
^^^ dogs of all kinds!
This was a volunteer effort, I'm sure there are a lot of people who would be more than willing to do the maintenance. Kansas City has more people who want to help create rather than just criticize and hate.
^^^ A nice thought, even if it's not at all true.
Well the people who everyone thinks is criticizing and hating are the BLM people. These people have no business painting the streets with HATE slogans such as BLM. BLM have been out killing and burning down cities not to mention they are saying no one else's life matters and I would say that's HATE on their part.
How many white people have been killed by black people but you don't see white people painting racist slogans on the streets. And it's the other way around with the police. The police have been shot and killed by black people but no one wants to talk about that. To say that anyone who disagrees with BLM is critical and hateful is just ignorant. BLM is racism at it's worst form and a phony victim game no one wants shoved down their throat. Grow Up.
5:35 need more police to block the streets to repaint/maintain or are volunteers going to run between cars or work at night?
BLM itself is dying and fading. They had a nice run and got to destroy property and steal and yell at cops, but it’s about over with. BLM is based on lies and just like paint, won’t last. Nothing changed, BLM accomplished nothing.
BLM made more white people racist.

Dead on the money.
We're there any Burn Loot Murder protests in Briarcliff last night as reported earlier in week? Skid marks on the BLM "artwork" did not go down well with some people (not me).
BLM destroyed a lot of property. BLM killed a lot of people. BLM created more racial tension than this country has known since the days of Jim Crow. Good job, BLM. May you quickly fade away.
Other Things Fading:
1. Biden’s Campaign
2. Black support for Biden (“you ain’t Black if you don’t vote for me”)
3. Biden’s memory
4. Biden’s campaign slogan (does he have one?) (maybe borrow 1 of the 500 Hillary had)
5. Biden’s supply of Depends
Maybe the paint is racist?
Keep it up BLM!! You're doing a great job convincing normal people to vote for Trump. You're the best. Thanks.
^^^ Normal People? Voting for Trump?
Where's Bandit and his 'cut and paste" string of "HAHAs"?
hanks @7:56, we all needed a good laugh to start the day!
The artist murals make me happy to wake up in KC because KC is a woke city. The murals have brought people together. It will be sad when they fade but that is what happens to art when it is not stored in a museum. Maybe there is a way to do that.
There is no need to break the law and vandalize these murals because they are art. Maybe you don't think so, but I have read that the Supreme Court has said that art is in the opinion of the beholder.
One thing I do feel is wrong is disallowing other murals for other groups. Everyone that is not trying to hate or hurt other people should have equal rights to a mural.
Peace out KC.
Do you have skidmarks ? Well, I do. If you elect me as your President, together we can declare war on skidmarks !
Joe Biden
Harris for President
White lives matter. They are far superior To blacks. Everyone knows it.
The good news is that BLM and Antifa's shenanigans will be background noise as the Senate confirms a new Supreme Court judge. All eyes will be focused on the Senate confirmation of the nominee.
I TOL' YA SO! House paint is for walls not streets dummies! Just wait until the salt hits them. They'll look real ghetto then!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Good people should all work together and preserve the murals. They could be touched up every month to keep the colors fresh.
I guess you missed the part about "all people are created equal."
Blacks
Lose
Murals
😏
today's a good dAY FOR EVERYONE TO BANG THEIR HEAD AGAINST A WALL.
And the many homeless.
The toy choo choo is still "free!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Let them dodge vehicles like squirrels to waste time and repaint them.
The best 5 I've heard.
Waste time and paint.
Biden and Harris are skidmarks. They are going to slide right on oug November 3rd.
Get a life fucker.
Biden is a skidmark on America's boxers.
Just give it up! This town is hopeless and beyond salvation!
The contractors used cheap paint to stiff the city! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
It doesn't matter.
all caps.
and 3 exclamation marks.
for this?
because some signs are fading?
slow news day, huh?
TOP PHOTO -- THEIR OWN ASS FAULT
One who uses a public street as a canvas, should expect to be walked all over!!!
We could all use a little maintenance and touch up. No big deal keeping the murals fresh if that's what people want to do.
Why does this not surprise me. First off you don't just apply any ole paint onto an asphalt service and think it will last much less stick properly. Unless the areas were properly treated and cleaned first it isn't going to stick using the good stuff. More half ass leadership from city hall. Another fail from 12th and Oak.
VOCs love VOCs. Simple chemistry. The sealer was put on too soon before the paint cured 100%. Gassing out into street. Poor dumb babies.
To Quote GoT: Winter is coming!
To Quote me: Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow! Then Murals will go! Then they will go! Long time ago!
Planned Obsolescence!
Thanks all. This is great info on cleanup and sealers and what not. The next round of murals will be much more durable.
5:37 getting paid $12,000 a mural is not a volunteer effort. Do you people even follow along or remember anything from yesterday? I know I know, asking you to remember something from two weeks ago is basically asking for a miracle I guess. No wonder the dimwit party is so fucked up, you people can’t remember the lies from yesterday they told you, you just go by what they say on Twitter right now and not from What they tell the news media.
After all, if twitter says so, it must be true!
i love the bandit darville he is a great conservatives blm well be a footnote in history a year from know stacy shaw well also go back to fixing tickets for black people
In the end, BLM is still a radical Marxist anti-American organization that wants to get rid of all ownership of private property, all prisons, capitalism, and the nuclear family of having a father and mother raise a child. These are just a few of their crazy ideas, but yet the city government was dumb enough to allow these murals to be painted on public streets.
Just go to the “walk away” campaign site on Facebook and read the thousands of stories of people who are leaving the democrat party because of all the BLM bullshit
Start your day with that, if you have an open mind
^^ They're also the best gun salesmen in America. Keep going BLM! You're the best. Thanks.
The obvious solution is to furlough more city employees, buy more paint, hire more "volunteers" and do it incorrectly again. It's the Kansas Shitty way! 😏
P.S. I TOL' YA SO!!! Called this one before the paint was even dry! 🤣
KC should be defunded.
Social Workers can do the job.
The 51rst State of Chad proves this works.
It will never work the way the head in the sky non working trouble makers imagine.
The unprofessional job that was done on the political slogans a/k/a "murals" is an example of why minorities need public contract set-asides. They do such bad work that no one would hire them as subcontractors unless compelled to do so.
BLM should have hired J.C. Nichols.
J.C. Nichols would have done a quality job with the BLM murals.
His quality work lasts for decades.
J.C. would have also trimed the murals in red line. They would have really popped!
I live in the Briarcliff area ..apparently no drama from the BLM Hate-Whitey get together they were supposed to have last nite in this area..heard no unusual noise..nothing on the Nextdoor site today...
Clay County cops don't play.
Sand will do that!
As predicted on this blog these things will fade as will they when they are finally declared a domestic terrorist organization. The paint was cheap the movement is comparable to a bowel movement.
TKC EXCLUSIVE!!! PAINT FADES!!!
what would we do without you
Black Lives Matter
It is NOT a Marxist organization. That's just hysterical nonsense.
It will never fade because the police will never stop shooting unarmed black men.
The street art is drying up and blowing away in the wind link the dog shit that it is. Fitting LOL!
Thanks 11:05, best comment! LOL we need more,from you and less from trolls.
My comment is it is stupid to do a lot of elective asphalt painting bc duh the paint fades and looks bad. Increases maintenance costs. Look at awful green paint on Grand for an example.
Only shot to finish a fight the cops did not start. Happens to white idiots too. F--k BLMs over reaction. They have set race relations back 50 years, fools.
To be fair 1:52, Demonrats helped BLM set race relations back far longer than that. 😏
Wow most of these comments doesn't sound like the group of people who are currently living off the money that their ancestors stole from the labor and blood of enslaved black people in america.
^ ^ TKC's living catheter ad.
Kansas City has more people who want to help create
IF YOU CALL THAT CREATING, YOU NEED TO HAVE THEM RE-DO YOUR LOBOTOMY..
1:58 - Bahahahahaha
What labor ? Going to the mailbox to collect their welfare checks?
What blood ? Blacks were such cowards they cut and run during WWII and Korean War whereby they were pulled off the front lines to drive trucks as they endangered the other troops by dropping their guns and running off.
600,000 Union white soldiers shed blood freeing slaves during the Civil War which is now never acknowledged.
BLM and the Media are a bunch of Marxist liars with no reality. Your lies don't hold up when one sees and experiences first hand what BLM and the Marxist Democrat Party are all about.
Keep spinning and believing those fairy tales 1:58 but no one else is buying it except your fellow indoctrinated Marxists.
If you learned that shit from College Professors; those coward douchebags hid in college and never served in the military or witnessed war first hand.
Hey 1:58 - hate to put a dent in your fairy tale but:
When we used to bid on public contracts; we had to include a minority firm in the bidding process as a partner.
The minority firm would never show up to do the work or fuck up what they did do so we would just tell them to stay home and mailed them their % dollars of the contract work. Honest truth and sad.
1:58
If you are going to support BLM with stupid comments, at least use correct English.
It should be "don't", not doesn't.
That way folks won't immediately know how dumb you are.
About 20 people showed up for the downtown KC march Friday night. Looked pretty lame.
Good work 158. When they attack you it is because they don't like to hear the truth.
Yes, they were all volunteers doing the painting. Community orgs and just people who wanted to help. Haters going to hate. You’re point of view is obsolete...
And I would bet NONE of that sad small group live in that neighborhood. So much for engaging the community's support. I do not believe people should be treated differently because of how they look, where they are from, how they may worship, etc. People are treated differently because of their hate-filled racist rhetoric, their violent actions, and their desire to be perpetual victims. Sad but very true. Mural painting, dance parties, picnics, protests (both "peaceful" and otherwise), and all the other nonsense we've witnessed these past few months do nothing. Serious, and many times difficult, conversations with rationale participants who do not have personal agendas is what will start any kind of a change.
The murals are fading. Breaks my heart.....not. BLM soon to be named domestic terrorist organization and their leaders are going to prison for a long time. Loosen up your buttholes your ass fucking is coming.
2:59, they did not attack 1:58, they only pointed out how wrong he is.
1:58 Despite having white skin none of my ancestors ever owned slaves in America. In fact, all of my ancestors migrated to America, legally, after the Civil War. Have you ever actually studied American history?
Attacked as dumb, liar, stipid comments, fairy tale.
Attacked because he speaks the truth. Typical tactics.
1:58 - Cannot think of one railraod, canal, harbor, skyscraper, canal, Interstate Highway, dam, ship, national park, fort that Black people have built.
Irish, Italian, German, Polish, Hispanic and Asian immigarants built everything in yhis country while,you grabbed your shine box and shined shoes.
Reparations for labor my ass.
Be thankful you live with a white majority who have shared the fruits of their labor with you.
Whites have paid trillions in taxes for your Section 8 housing, food stamps, Medicaid,and baby mama payments. Truth that.
Whites in general benefited economically from a slave based economy and white-only privileges even if they didn't own slaves. That was a long time ago, but the property ownership was passed thru generations.
^ ^ Waa!
Blacks were excluded from trades and unions by whites.
They travelled North when jobs were available in manufacturing.
It gets complicated, but the whole black prejudice is about keeping American labor costs low by creating a permanent underclass.
This is why migrants pick crops in the USA without benefits.
I painted those murals using my best war paint.
Sharice Davids
Just curious, what did the pictured mural say. I see the word "shoot", what was the rest of it? Thanks.
"It gets complicated, but the whole black prejudice is about keeping American labor costs low by creating a permanent underclass."
It gets "complicated" because the Marxist Democrats and BLM cannot keep their lies and make-believe fictional stories straight.
Tens of millions of poor whites, poor Hispanics, poor Asians have worked their way out of poverty. It takes hard work to do so while Blacks constantly bitch and do nothing but ask for handouts. Have some pride in yourself loser.
If you think the Marxists lies are responsible for anything other than a recent summer of BLM mayhem, you have drunk too much kool aid.
^^and nobody is thinning about that but lonely geriatric fucktards. Of which, you're one.
1:39, stay off the blog. Your answer for everything is “Geriatric Fucktards”. I’ve never seen you make a coherent point. Guessing you’re a black Democrat. Am I right?
