THE BEST BBQ WAS BLACK AMERICAN😢😢 BECAUSE THEY WHERE BBQED THEY WAS SLOW ROASTED FOR ENTERTAINMENT BODY PARTS WAS TAKEN HOME BY THA MASSES N PPL WHO ATTENTED SUCH A HORRIBLE ACT AS TROPHY..... ♥️👑
THIS QUEEN DON'T US THA WORD BBQ SHE SAYS COOK OUT ❤👑
It freakin' better increase, I just poured tens of thousands of dollars into a house on the streetcar line for that reason 🤣
make sure your agency has a solid foundation for peer support. Its more than time to have this in every agency now.
This is so lame. No wonder why it gets so little attention. It's a progressive self pat on the back that only hipsters and affluent chicks pretend to watch. The reality is that we "communities of color" dont care about your self pleasing hobbies
🥱
Tried watching this video on my TV and I had to restart everything. Weird. Anyone they should let people live at the livestock.
5 place for horse drink
The crime here is terrible I wouldn’t ever live in midtown
Spainards brought cattle and horses to america in 1492 when there was no white man or black men in America. The word barbeque comes from the Spanish word barbacoa. That right there tells you who brought barbequing to America. Spainards taught their sons the Mexicans how to barbeque. Native American Indians were the mothers of Mexicans. DNA of a Mexican is 50 percent spainard and 50 percent native American indian. The cattle that spainards brought was eaten by Indians and Mexicans in the 1500s they would barbeque it over flames, Mexicans would build underground pits to barbeque meat. Just that being said should stop all who say their race created barbeque? Remember i said cattle was brought from Spain to America.I want you to think about this, if cattle was in Spain before Christopher Columbus came to America don't you think they knew how to cook cattle meat? There is only one way to cook meat and that would be to barbeque it in a brick oven or open flames? Also if spainards brought horses to america then that would tell you who the first cowboys were the vaqueros? Please stop trying to rewrite Spanish history and take credit for something you black Americans didn't create?
The red was there..

I don't know about this... what about the alternate account sung in "Pretty Boy Floyd" by Woody Guthrie? You should at least be presenting alternative histories.
Vaqueros😮😮😅😮 where the first to teach America how ranch horses and farm ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
In the 1950’s, when the wind was right, the horrible smell from the stockyards frequently reached our home near the Wyandotte-Johnson county line, at least 5 miles away. My grade school class were treated to a tour of one of the slaughter houses and the girls luckily still wore head scarves; I can remember wadding mine up and holding it to my mouth in order to breathe without vomiting. That’s what the West Bottoms means to me. But it would be fascinating to see more photos of the times when those stately buildings were built-and before the horrible stockyards invaded. Was there such a time?
Use common sense that's what you can draw it upon.Don't be ungrateful for the state legalizing cannabis
This film is an underrated gem.

White ppl cant see color nor discrimination. Its higher probability to go to jail over the same plant. Killed future millionares in our communities. They always want brown people to interdependent on a system that was built on our backs. Including culture food and indigenous plant's. Whos has the money to get this things. The ppl that had money from years of institutional slavery. Generational wealth that most brown ppl dont have. But overall love the hippies that includes us in the counterculture.
Like mafia gang.
Banning this stuff would make a lot of people go back to buying it illegal on the streets and resorting back to alcohol
I'm in California is there a tenant book of rights

The answer is actually to build the streetcar out even more. Streetcars are awesome, but they need to be more than a novelty, they need to serve wide areas of a city. I know KC is working on another expansion, but they should be planning 5x as many expansions longterm. The other thing the city could do is lend the money for the projects themselves. Do it at a rate lower than what's possible with banks given the fed rate. And with that, you can ask for specific things on new projects (10% of all units be made for low income rentals, 20% be sold to first time home buyers with a restricted HOA amount, etc). And the great thing is that the city ends up getting all this money back over time, so it costs them nothing in the end.
Cult. It has nothing to do with Jesus or the gospel.
Thank you for your work........ . Stay on them!
This guy is a fake. He's a sexist and ageist. And I'm pretty sure a narcissist as well. Listen to him. Plus he grew up in LA not in KC. Dishonest.
God this guy looks weird
Barbecue comes from the taino's It's their language. So how can another race come up with an invention and then call it a different language that's from their own?
American uncultured mr bean. Effete hack.
Great information. Thank you 🙏

Stop.
I remember, age 7 at a Girl Scout Program at Park Hill Jr High. My parents picked me up and we sheltered in my uncles concrete bunker. The sky was dark green. Later we found a check book and other debris in the pasture.
Turn to Jesus Christ, Please.
I love you.
Personally, I wouldn't buy it, i'd KEEP SHOPPING.

When you drive north on i-29 the flyover ramp/bridge that you take as the primary exit to KCI is crumbling. I count the number of rusted rebar exposed as the cement sheds and crumbles from the bottom and side of the 2 lane flyover ramp. ..last count in 2024 was 16 sections showing......who is responsible for that bridge?
@ 1:20 when she opened the doors to the tower i got so sad, there is such potentional there... they could make that into a lounge, student lounge, vistor center, open it up to allow all that light from those huge windows and display that beautiful wood work. PARK UNIVERSITY is really suffering financially with decreasing student enrollment, its time (no pun intended) to think outside the box to generate money to keep the school afloat....
Record and keep records
I have a question if I'm renting a room from someone do I have to clean that house Because they have a job. For rent I pay the electric bill in the Wi-Fi bill
Just what are the Republicans doing wrong? Not stealing enough from us in taxes to give to illegals? Not financing abortions? Letting law abiding citizens carry guns? I'm pretty happy with the state of JC right now, you should pop over the line into Iowa and look like a conservative.
