10 days have passed since the reparations coalition panel w/o another peep from them or any local media coverage of the event. Why is that? #kansascity
Black Americans in Kansas City AND across the nation are having increasingly specific discussions about what reparations should be yet those discussions are rarely reflected in media. Next to never in Kansas City's local news coverage. Again, why is that? #reparations #ADOS
Asking rhetorically, of course. I KNOW why. Although I thought were supposed to expect more from the likes of @cvoiceks @kcur @kcbeacon #thecall @KCDefender @TheFastPitch
Our city government is no better. They have yet to publicly advocate for targeted redress to Black Americans.

The same city government leaders pushing for some sort of reparations, though, I don't know what kind. They've joined national coalitions and call for equity task forces yet can't answer basic questions about what they're doing to build momentum for a national ADOS reparations.
To finish my train of thought, Kansas City will never become a city of equity, especially, racial equity, without doing the work of addressing hiw to adequately account for decades of structured racism. #ADOS #reparations
