In a column today, the Star's Mary Sanchez takes on the death of Brian Euston, who died after a fight outside Westport's America's Pub. As the blog Tony's Kansas City points out this morning, Sanchez does some awkward tap-dancing around the race issues in this story, which we'll get to shortly. But first, there's this charming little tidbit: Somebody pissed on the memorial.
Really? Of all great the public places to piss in Westport?
Here's the passage:

Shall we stage a memorial for Stanford Griswold outside the Johnson County Courthouse? I believe it would represent the death of his future unless he gets out of the shit kicking town that Kansas City still is, regardless of its growing size or booming crime statistics.
A crime does not qualify as a Hate Crime merely because the race of the attacker differs from the race of the victim. To qualify as a Hate Crime, there must be an added element of selecting the victim based on race, using racial slurs during the crime and so forth.
Curious as to the figures? Since rape is a crime and the crime ratio is so much lower than the rape ratio...I'm wondering which crimes blacks do not commit against whites and if there is a reason. Or is this just to say that 99.8% of the rapes against whites are committed by blacks, and 98% of all other crimes against whites are committed by blacks. I'm also confused by the per capita x 5?
Though murders being fewer are easier to review, it seems that most here in KC are black on black.
I agree, the press is aprehensive about discussing or even mentioning race, there seems to be a greater concentration of crime committed by blacks. (Assuming christian since the media has no problem mentioning muslim heritage and Jews don't make up a large part of the black population) But what can be done within the community to help young black christian males place value on each other and others? Because semi-annual marches just don't seem to be making a difference.
Terrell is dead on the money with his reverse take.
Reverse the facts, and there is a taxi cab traffic jam at KCI for all the Rainbow Co-alition parasites coming to town to circle the civil rights garbage scow like starving seaagulls.
60 minutes after a white person PISSES on the memorial to a black kid, "60 MINUTES" has hidden cameras and reporters ready to eviscerate the perp.
Read Mary's article. SHe tip toes around a herd of elephants in the room.
If that kid had been black, beaten to death
bu whites, the howls and screams for a "HATE CRIME PROSECUTION" would have Helen Keller covering her ears.
Joe Tone, IMO, might be the best writer in this city, but this quote dodges the crux of this matter-"Sanchez also (kind of) addresses the thundering herd of elephants in the room: That Euston, a white suburbanite, was likely killed by a black city-dweller, since that's who typically congregates outside America's Pub. But there it is -- not that it matters, since he's the same amount dead regardless of who killed him."
Yeah is does matter, because the incessant hate crimes committed agianst white people every day are passed off as run of hte mill crime.
ITS NOT.
Black on white crime is 50 to 1.
Black on white rape is 565 to 1.
Per capita, multiply that by 5.
That aint crime, thats war.
The 4th estate dances around this topic like a fat lady on an April ice pond.
It is necrotic. It has long, long been metasticized and the only thing more abhorant is the lack of fortitude in the 4th estate re black on white hate crimes.
A Black guy named Larry Elder is the only media person who will address it.
It will not stop if we don't face it and address it.
Gold Star and a million bonus points for Terrell, my thoughts exactly. (and well said sir)
Black kid gets beat to death in the midst of a group of whites. Video cathes them as they then take out their cell phones and video him dying on the sidewalk and post on social media sites.
Result: Media outrage, national coverage, protests, hate crime conviction, pontification by every white and black media talking head in the US. Outrage expressed by all races including whites and blacks.
White kid gets killed in Westport in the midst of a group of blacks(see the security video). Group of black bystanders then take out their cell phones and video him dying on the sidewalk and post on social media sites(see the security video).
Result: Media outlets spin the incident as an accident. Media outlets try to dance around that hate crime angle and avoid the obvious(see Kansas City Star). Police stumble over themselves and the politics of the situation. No outrage from the black community despite the racial implications of what happened and the direct correlation between these actions and the stereotypes perpetuated by such. No outrage from the whites as they have been programmed by mainstream media that this is just wrong place, wrong time rather than a crime motivated by racism and hate.
