Once again we watch the Kansas City Star overlook history and mistake this town as Black & White when recent census stats show us that's quickly changing . . . Check-it:

"Kansas City’s predominantly Black East Side is not represented on the five-member board that governs the city’s police department. Kansas Citians deserve equal representation on the police board."
