TKC BREAKING NEWS!!! REPARATIONS!!! KANSAS CITY MAYOR & COUNCIL SUPPORT & RESEARCH SLAVERY PAYBACK!!!
Kansas City is now ground zero for the reparations moment that is garnering momentum.
There's a lot to unpack in this story but 12th & Oak fired the first shot with this resolution that should start the conversation. So far other news outlets are politely ignoring the proposition until they can get a quote, here at TKC we aren't afraid to break FIRST NEWS based on city hall dox.
Here's the shout out as KC is actually the 3rd city to start payouts for a tragic fact of American history . . .
"Expressing the Council’s support for the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act that is now before the U.S. Congress and urging the City’s congressional delegation to support it."
Fun fact . . .
The ordinance is sponsored by every African-American member of the city council, Katy Shields and Mayor Quinton Lucas.
Check-it . . .
RESOLUTION NO. 210259
Expressing the Council’s support for the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act that is now before the U.S. Congress and urging the City’s congressional delegation to support it.
WHEREAS, on January 4, 2021, U.S. Representative Shelia Jackson Lee introduced H.R. 40 (the “Bill”), known as the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act (the “Act”) in form of the 117th United States Congress; and
WHEREAS, as of February 24, 2021, the Bill enjoys 167 co-sponsors including U.S. Representatives Cori Bush and Emanuel Cleaver from Missouri; and
WHEREAS, the Act establishes a commission to study and develop reparation proposals to redress the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of chattel slavery in the United States and the 13 American colonies between 1619 and 1865 and to establish a commission to study and consider a national apology and proposal for reparations for the institution of chattel slavery, its subsequent de jure and de facto racial and economic discrimination against African Americans, and the impact of these forces on living African Americans, to make recommendations to the Congress on appropriate remedies; and
WHEREAS, the Act shall require the commission to identify the role of the federal, state, and local governments in supporting the institution of chattel slavery, the forms of discrimination in the public and private sectors against freed slaves and their descendants, and the lingering negative effects of chattel slavery on living African Americans and society; and
WHEREAS, while the nation must continue to address the social effects of chattel slavery and segregation, it must also recognize the resulting and continuing economic inequalities and disparities of those past polices that serve as the genesis for many inequities in our African American communities today and which remain largely ignored in the halls of policy makers at all levels of government; and
WHEREAS, the aforementioned resulting and continuing economic inequalities and disparities of those past policies, which include redlining and other discriminatory housing policies, unequal education, disinvestment in African American communities, disparities in healthcare services, and disparate treatment at the hands of the criminal justice system, are all manifest in Kansas City’s African American communities today; and
WHEREAS, the nation must be willing to commit to entering a constructive dialogue on the role of chattel slavery and racism in shaping present-day conditions in our community and American society and the tools that must be utilized in order to, as U.S. Rep Jackson Lee said in her introductory remarks, “light the way to the beloved community we all seek”; NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF KANSAS CITY:
That the City of Kansas City, Missouri, supports H.R. 40, known as the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act which is now before the U.S. Congress, and urges the City’s congressional delegation to vote in support, work with their colleagues to support the Act and, in doing so, ensure that the necessary appropriation is made available to facilitate the important and national healing work of the commission.

It's about damn time!
ReplyDeleteMissed opportunity T.
DeleteYou should report that this is where your etax money will go.
Might as well be honest with taxpayers.
I am for affirmative-action, I support diversity and equity and I voted for Joe Biden.
DeleteBut this is bullshit.
They can't get the trash picked up but THIS is what they're working on?
Sorry but we need a vote on this, not research or some ordinance drawn up without voter consent.
Q really has been a disappointment.
When can KCMO change their name to South Detroit? West St. Louis?
DeleteWhat a bullshit move.
ReplyDeleteGibsmedat!
ReplyDeleteAnd the most coddled and subsidized race in history demands yet another handout, after half a century of cradle to grave welfare has produced nothing but crime and dysfunction.
Vote "YES" for the earnings tax!
ReplyDelete/s
Well, it's about time.
ReplyDeleteThis is a troll account. It isn't the real byron.
DeleteWTF!!!! Not one of these violent ghetto scumbags was alive when slavery was legal, and not only that, they weren't the only race who were held as slaves. ALL RACES, INCLUDING WHITES were slaves. I'll pay to have the burn loot murder thugs shipped back to wherever the fuck they came from. They don't belong in civilized society.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteYayy! Mo' Free Stuff fo' black Democraps!!
Might as well chase people away from Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteRead carefully, it has nothing to do with KCMO. It's the council simply passing a meaningless resolution that the supporte the FEDERAL effort to establish a FEDERAL committee. It's virtue-signaling, nothing more.
ReplyDeleteKilla kc never had slaves to begin with and only seven percent of the U.S. population back then owned slaves, good luck finding those 310,000 slaves to pay back because they’re all dead!
ReplyDeleteIf you’re gonna make someone pay, make the descendants of slave owners pay and only pay decendants of the slaves. Good luck with that one! Hahahahaha!
How utterly ridiculous. About par for the course for libs though.
ReplyDeleteGet the trash picked up and the potholes filled before you waste time on this Mayor Lucas. Same goes for City Council.
ReplyDeleteDO NOT RENEW THE E-TAX!!!!! IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE CONSERVATIVE, WHITE, OR LIVE
ReplyDeleteOUTSIDE DOWNTOWN, THOSE DOLLARS GO TO DOWNTOWN INTERESTS, ADMINISTRATION INSIDERS, PEOPLE AND GROUPS WHO HATE YOU. YOU ARE FINANCING YOUR OWN DOWNFALL IF YOU VOTE YES.

The Democrats think they can do anything, just as they always have, without repercussion. They better hope they can get rid of the filibuster in order to add some new states/lib senators, pack the Supreme Court, and permanently make the US a one-party oligarchy.
ReplyDeleteIf not, the backlash that occurs when Republicans regain power is going to be the stuff of shock and awe.
It will make the Trump years look like Sesame Street
BLACKS
ReplyDeleteLOVE
MURDER
Shields is for this pile of crap? Time to vote her fat ass out.
ReplyDeleteAnd she is also the one pushing to significantly decrease the police budget which could cause layoffs throughout the police department. That will mean no new officers, possible slower response to calls, etc. The citizens of this city deserve better.
DeleteJust more stuff for Mayor Q’s Senate run. That Blacks in 2021 suffer as their 1850 descendents did is utter BS.
ReplyDeleteHow would have guessed it...
ReplyDeleteThe CEO at Hallmark makes more $ than me. I want a reparation.
What if the study finds that the inequities have nothing to do with slavery but rather on these three issues.
ReplyDelete1. A general break down of the family structure where urban fathers are absent and do not contribute to the upbringing of their offspring.
2. A criminal path. Where urban folks decide to take a path of crime, get caught and go to prison.
3. Urban leadership, who never calls on personal responsibility in the urban community.
Yawn. Each one of them will get enough for a bucket of chicken and a 40oz. Let's just hope all the giddiness doesn't start a baby boom.
ReplyDeleteHELL NO!!!!! HELL NO!!!
ReplyDeleteThis City would lose its tax base in 18 months, you would see so many homes for sale it would make your head spin.
This act would be a City committing suicide!
Whites have been slaves to Blacks the last 55 years.
ReplyDeleteWhites work, pay taxes so Blacks can fuck off, murder, loot, burn, live in free housing, free food, free I-Phones, free public transportation, free college scholarships for their kids, free jobs, free promotions; all on the backs of White people.
When do the reparations end? Especially for those Whites who families never owned slaves and were treated just as bad as slaves when they were immigrants.
^^why do you care Maude? Feel like your missing out too? Want some free shit? Grow up. It's 70 degrees outside. Go out!
ReplyDelete12:34 did you know that the filibuster was used 328 times last year? Guess how many the dimwit party used.
ReplyDelete327 out of 328, no wonder nothing got done last year, the sad part is they blamed the republicans for not letting anything get through when in fact it was the dimwits who held everything up that would have helped everyday Americans, fucking cold hearted pricks is what they are.
I guess since the filibuster is racist this just proves unequivocally that the kkkdemoncraps are the racist fags we all knew they were.
^^^ actually the demoncraps don’t want the republicans to have the same filibuster power that they abused during Trumps Presidency and use it against them the same way they abused it against the republicans.
ReplyDeleteIt’s official, the demoncraps have gone completely mental.
Pay the black people exactly what they’re worth. Zero.
ReplyDeleteThis should be fun.
ReplyDeleteByron, did you wait until there was discussion about it, or have you been writing your own reparations checks all along. Tell us what you have been doing to support the reparations cause. if it is that important to you, have you done anything personally? What will be your response when Native Americans want reparations? Where would this country be without the Chinese and Irish who built the railroads? Will you support reparations for any oppressed group? Do you support reparations for all blacks in the US? Just those that can trace their lineage to slavery? African blacks? Caribbean blacks? Where do you draw the line? What if a black man, can trace his family's lineage to France for generations, and pre-dating American slavery? Does he get reparations? How about new Nigerian immigrants? Do they get reparations? How much do you think is fair, Byron? And once we start paying them reparations, is it a one-time deal? In perpetuity? I'm almost in favor of a one-time check if it will shut them up about it.
ReplyDeleteCrock of shit.
ReplyDelete2% of Americans in the antebellum south owned slaves. Their descendants are not guilty of any crime, especially an ex post facto crime. The African Americans who are here, are, at this point lucky to be here, as opposed to the living hell that most African countries continue to be. Very, very few Americans today, come from families that owned slaves. You can go down to the Jackson County Library and look at the invoices for slaves sold here in Missouri and they cost $1,800.00. I have seen these invoices. That translates to around $60,000.00 in today's money.
ReplyDeletePlantation owners, Democrats in the South were the only people rich enough to pony up the cost of an Escalade, which, ironically is usually driven by black people.
This isn't actually an attack on common sense. Everyone with the brains of a Goldfish knows that "Reparations" are the continuing, never ending, "Pound of Flesh" that is demanded by violent, indolent parasites who see a clear field when it comes to extorting the White American Middle Class our of more and more of their money, while those same vampires sleep all day in their graves and come out at night, to burn, loot, rob, rape and murder.
The D卐M☭CRATs now fully in charge of the Statist Government are, as usual, taking miles with every inch given. There is one goal and one goal only. Complete and total, unconditional surrender from the middle class to the beadles in Washington D.C.
D卐M☭CRATs are Fascists, plain and simple. The goal posts move continuously and the "ends justifies the means" Alinsky rules are the ONLY Rules Of Engagement in a country, where there is NO RULE OF LAW.
Illegal immigrants of color, come into the country and are afforded more rights by way of pernicious "Affirmative Action" legislation, quotas, set asides and the tally, at this juncture is 20 Trillion Dollars.
It is money down the fuckin shitter. We have nothing to show for our taxpayer largesse and in fact, are far worse off now, coddling the in country enemies of this civilization (Which, dumbfucks, was NOT built by black people.) and it's citizens.
Anti-white laws, legislation and statutes are now in place, that, were it the other way around, the hue and cry for "justice" would be deafening.
Fuck these motherfuckers. They are first in line to colleges where they don't have to score on SAT's. Passed into power and position in spite of not only a lack of erudition, but experience and any semblance of effort, where, they cannot be fired for cause.
Again, 23 Trillion and all we have to show for it, is burned out cities, murder rates through the roof, crime and still, the call for more and more free money, based on the color of your skin, is a Communist cacophony that breaks our eardrums and our spirits.
Enough is enough.
The Biden/Harris administration is proposing the United States of America change its name to North Mexico.
ReplyDeleteIs there anyone alive that owned slaves? Are there any slaves still alive that would be due any reparations? No? Then no reparations. I am so tired of so many in the black race playing the race card and gobbling up federal handouts. Time to put a stop to all of it now. This must be an item that the entire city, county or state votes upon. It isn't due anyone alive so it is a waste of time and money.
ReplyDeleteI can definitely see their point. Blacks believe America wouldn't be the America it is today without their labor. But many other nationalities and races contributed to growing this country with equally poor treatment. Only the blacks have their hand out constantly. America has bent over backwards to give blacks every opportunity to advance themselves and their race. Any time a black doesn't get what he/she wants, racism is the rallying cry. Now, if you complain about it, the entire premise of "White Fragility," that makes you a racist. I say pay them off, write the check, and then make it illegal to complain about your lot in life afterward. If you are a reparations whore, all we have to do at this point is determine what it is going to cost. And if you squander it, and leave nothing for your children or grandchildren, tough. You wasted your ancestors' labor and back pay.
ReplyDeleteIf it means he gets into the Senate, I would celebrate Mayor Pukas winning a seat to get him the hell out of here, but I fear he is too feeble, petty and stupid of a man to ever go any farther than a one term mayor of a podunk cowtown. He doesn't even seem to have the critical thinking abilities of a community college flunkout. That's affirmative action for you, though.
ReplyDelete4:27 all the blacks did was cotton, they didn’t build shit
ReplyDeleteMy family immigrated to the United States after the Civil War was concluded. They never owned slaves. They established their farms in Iowa, a free state. My family did not benefit from slavery in any conceivable and never participated in the institution, yet these lazy jerks are still claiming a right to take the fruits of our labor. There is nothing fair about this.
ReplyDeleteHow about a deal? If the government pays reparations those who receive it will renounce any claim to further welfare payments. This will be a onetime payoff and there will be no more transfer payments in perpetuity for anyone who claims reparations or their descendants. Sign the agreement in blood.
Nah ....are there any Obama phones left to give out? and pull up yo pants u look like a fucktard.
ReplyDeleteReparations are bullshit and will lead directly to civil war. Not blacks against whites, no - the people vs. the elite posers pushing this divisive drek. When enough of them are hanging from lampposts the war will be over and we can get back to being the greatest country on Earth.
ReplyDeleteHow much do Descendants of Blacks in Africa who sold people into slavery make? How much do the descendants of the people they sold make? The difference should be the amount of reparations. Since the people here make more money, then they get NOTHING.
ReplyDeleteMy ancestors fought in the Union to help free slaves. So, this is the payback? Keep shoveling money at them. We see how welfare has worked to destroy black families. Over 70% of black kids grow up without a father. Black men are pussies. I want my reparations from blacks.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteANY White person who voted Democrat is insane.
@732, That's been the case for a very long time. Liberalism is a mental disorder. No two ways about it. I have literally never met a liberal who want at least partially disconnected from reality if not fully.
DeleteLike to see the African Americans make a convincing argument as to how their lives would be better if their families ancestors had not been brought to the United States.
ReplyDeletePeople in the parts of Africa that's ancestors sold their brothers into slavery would likely trade places with them today.
THE 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.
Enough of a reason to vote against the etax.
ReplyDeleteWould be a temporary boom for go chicken go, rim shops, weave and nail shops and then they will be crying for more.
ReplyDeleteRest easy folks this is NOT going to happen. It's the most ridiculous thing ever thought about. First the people who were slaves are all dead and black people would have to prove their ancestors were slaves and not slave owners or free black people. This is all about ANTIFA member Cory Bush, Emanuel Cleaver who has always wanted a free life and the rest of the black thugs. It's really funny.
@5:12
ReplyDeleteLet me see you’re family waltzed in here, got land stolen from Indians and land handed to your family that even blacks who were here centuries before your family couldn’t own. Okaay.
@7:48 A convincing argument is you staying in Europe, the borders were opened back then.
ReplyDeleteNot even an argument, really. You don't have any.
DeleteThis is not a Democrat favored position. A significant portion of the Democratic Party do not support this position. It is political suicide for the Democrats to support this type of position.
ReplyDeleteThis Council will pivot to reparations due to housing discrimination in KCMO. These small minds will look at Evanston and will bring this BS to KC,
ReplyDeleteIt’s not housing discrimination if you can’t pay for rent so....
ReplyDeleteAll African-Americans are PERMANENT VICTIMS, unable and incapable of self-responsibility?
ReplyDeleteFormer President Barack Obama
Congressman Carwash
Former Mayor Sly James
KCMO Mayor Quinton Lucas
Multiple KCMO Council members
Former KCPD Chief, and now JACO Sheriff Forte
JACO Executive Frank White
...and thousands of others across the KCMO area.
Why does African-American leadership pander to those within their demographic who didn't stay in school, didn't join the military, didn't go to trade school, can't hold a steady job, didn't get married, didn't stay off drugs and out of prison?
Because it's fun to give away free money from other people, to those who think they have a right to a free ride.
With the majority of the clowncil being black I would expect them to want to be all in for "MO FREE MONEY".
ReplyDeleteSo, does that mean if we pay them off, they will stfu and stop stealing everything not nailed down in this country? Hell, that would be worth it.
ReplyDeleteBut, truth be told, it won't.
All this really shows is how out of reality the KC City Council is with their constituents. However, the gravy train will continue. Next will be all women because of their domination of men over time, followed by the Hispanics for what Trump/Biden have done at the border, then the Italians for how they were treated and the Irish for same reasons when they all immigrated to the US. The Germans and Asians have something coming for all the discrimination to them during both World Wars then lastly, old white men will have something coming because of the immense discrimination toward them simply because they are old white men. So you see, we all have been treated unfairly sometime during our nations history so everyone will get some bailout from the government over time. Just be patient.
ReplyDeleteBring me a slave that was "owned" by my family and I'll pay. I own nobody one nickel.
