After our last posting yesterday a few of you informed us of a rather AWESOME WDAF story that's CERTAINLY worth revisiting:
Business Owner: Prospect Name Change Plan a 'Crock of Mess'
So, this will have to suffice for Kansas City unity . . . A great many Black and white people from throughout diverse sections of the area think Council Dude Jermaine Reed's plan is ridiculous.

Chris Rock jokes about how no matter what city you're in, MLK is in the hood. According to the WDAF story, there's been at least one study about it. HA!
ReplyDeleteMurders, vacant houses, trash in the streets, empty lots, population decreasing, poverty, no jobs, crumbling streets and sidewalks; and the councilman from the 3rd District wants to rename a street.
ReplyDeleteOf 470,000 people who live in KCMO, we elect just 13 to do the people's business.
Astonishing!
Yes and Chris Rock goes on to lament poor Dr. King, a man of peace, with streets named after him being the most violent street in any urban ghetto !
ReplyDeleteIs this BLACK LEADERSHIP? Alvin Brooks had decades to name a street MLK Jr. Drive, why didn't he do it?
ReplyDeleteCome on people Jermaine Reed is being ruined, what a shame.
6:36, Reed isn't being ruined. He's Al Brook's' hand puppet. I do not see a gun put to his head, forcing him to be this stupid.
ReplyDeleteHe sits at the foot of a Leader Grifter to learn how to talk out of both sides of his mouth. Perhaps to learn a few of the master's dating techniques.
There just might be a light in the forest...

ReplyDeleteI know this crowd doesn't really want any positive ideas, but on the off chance you do, I have 7 ideas to transform the Prospect Corridor on the blog post What's in a Name Change.
ReplyDeleteAre any of the 7 brilliant ideas "keep the nig nogs from killing each other at a rate of two a day"?
ReplyDeleteEvery damn one of those 7 amounts to government welfare.
ReplyDeleteThis is a bad economic era to be asking for handouts for neighborhoods who prove time and time again they can't get their shit together.
No sir, I do not like it at all.
MLK Blvd. in major cities across America is synonymous with crime-ridden black neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteIs that what black people want?
Lucy Pinder Avenue.
ReplyDeleteThere's something everyone can unite behind!
YES!
ReplyDeleteI'd let her fart in my face...
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with trying to promote Love,pride and self worth in the most depressed area of town. Jermaine, is a fine young man and clearly cares about the community. That's more than I can say about formal 3rd district council members.
