The Pitch Crafts CLASSIC White Guilt Donation Plea For 'Give Black KC'

I'm impressed.

Real talk . . .

Today, The Pitch pens might be the quintessential Kansas City white guilt exercise in creative writing.

Check this artsy & philosophical passage in service of a racially-charged donation drive . . .

Kansas City has created a cave.

There are very established boundaries and systems in places that segregate our metropolitan area and personify cave walls. People outside of those boundaries are afforded better educational resources, school systems, job opportunities, housing, infrastructure, grocery stores, parks, community centers, etc.

If you’re born inside the Kansas City lines, you’re likely to be left staring at the shadows on the cave wall. If you’re born inside the Kansas City lines, the plights of poverty are normal. If you’re born inside the Kansas City lines, underfunded school systems are normal. Food deserts are normal. Overpolicing is normal. Mass incarceration is normal. Unemployment, intrusive business, and pervasive exploitation are normal. The rustling and bustling of the passersby peeking into the cave from behind you, watching you build your universe around the shadows they cast—normal.

We’re taught that escaping the cave is what defines success. That success is attending a predominantly black Kansas City Public School and graduating from a predominantly white college or university. Or it’s working for a primarily white corporation while being from a primarily black community. From renting in the inner city to owning in the suburbs . . .

On the other hand, it can be discouraging to realize that others have no awareness of the shadows they cast or the difference in resources and opportunities that living 15-minutes east or west of Kansas City provides them . . .

It just gets better AND MORE CONDESCENDING from there . . .

Moreover . . .

IF YOU BELIEVE ANY OF THIS NONSENSE, TKC WANTS TO DATE YOUR ADULT DAUGHTER THIS SUMMER!!!

And whoever wrote this cringe-worthy query deserves a merit-badge for simping . . . Sadly, a simp would never ask for that kind of recognition.
