Many months back the mayor of Kansas City was having an important state of the city speech on live television in this remote dull cow town in the state of Kansas. mayor Sly James is an up and coming black politician who said the usual bullshit how he will serve the interests of the black population. Things in many Kansas City neighborhoods have not improved and deteriorated while this guy tries to court those with money to invest in the small downtown and yuppie population made of mostly of UK graduates who were unable to get jobs and live in Chicago's North side. Mayor Sly James is working hard to make Kansas City a world class inequality city where the educated and small wealthy population is segregated and have improved services and public structures while the rest of the town gets less service and is ghettoized. A community activist who had enough of his neighborhood going to the stray dogs got up to the podium and interrupted mayor James speech. He shoved down the flag of Kansas City (leaving the American flag alone) and tried to speak his mind with the corruption and bullshit he is seeing in his city. Security guards immediately tackled and roughed up this protester on live television as Mayor looked dumbfounded at what was happening and did nothing to lower the escalation of physical violence and beating Derron Black was receiving. it was pretty disgusting and a sad day in the sad history of a sad city. What it is that mayors across America are elected with private money that should be public money and they don't want the average man having any voice in America.
of course the corporate media did little reporting of who this man was or why he felt the desperate need to speak as the mayor was speaking. he obviously felt the mayor was not addressing real issues that were plaguing and running his section of Kansas City. basically most of the local media that is bought by corporations and business spending just reported that this guy was some nut and not worth representing his side. In fact Mr Black had tried to run for state representative in his district but was totally outspent by his opponent and lost big time in his quest to improve his area. The frustration of Middle America at how politicians at both the local and state levels will see more incidents such as this interruption of mayor speeches as they try to suppress our free speech.
