Right now we offer a ground and sky level view of hopeful protest in Kansas City in the midst of a great deal of divisive and angry politics even after white people won the presidential election by way of a reality TV show star who never held public office and is embroiled in a Russian scandal that seems to be getting worse even among his own political party.
To wit . . .
THANKS TO OUR KICK-ASS TKC BLOG COMMUNITY FOR THESE SHOTS OF AN EPIC IMMIGRANT PROTEST ON THE STEPS OF CITY HALL TODAY!!!
At its peak the crowd was about 400 strong.
Also, some of these photos had more artsy shadow but I brightened them up to get a better look at the scale of the crowd.
But I digress . . .
Two things here when checking out the local discourse . . .
TRAGICALLY, SO MANY KANSAS CITY HATERZ EQUATE IMMIGRANTS WITH ILLEGAL ALIENS AND RUSH TO THROW HATE AT LEGAL RESIDENTS!!!
Sadly, we've seen the comments and the hate along with reactionary judgement from locals and even MSM denizens.
But it gets worse and begs the question . . .
DO YOU THINK LEGAL IMMIGRANTS HAVE THE RIGHT PROTEST?!?!
Of course the answer is yes but also depends a lot on worldview and other prejudices.
Check the link roundup as another faction of Kansas City residents resist the current administration.
