Antisemitic Haters Rise In Kansas City

TKC always hates posting these type of links to news reports . . . 

Why???

BECAUSE this type of content invariably attracts the very same kind of haters who, quizzically, attempt to rabidly dispute allegations of hatred with . . . Drum roll . . . More hatred. 

Nevertheless, the report remains important and newsworthy and this kind of perspective on cowtown life is something that locals would rather deny than examine critically. 

Fact is . . . The Internets and real life are rife with nasty chatter that can spark horrific outcomes and it's important to acknowledge that, tragically, there are people willing to exploit culture war divisions for their own gain on "many sides" of the equation. 

Meanwhile . . . 

TKC merely serves as a place where we our most loyal readers can watch this hot mess without risking culture war cancellation for speaking on a topic wherein any answer is probably wrong.
