Well, this is awful. Racism is alive and well in KC North.

Northbrook is a subdivision in Kansas City North. A woman living there went on vacation and a friend stayed at her house to take care of her animals.

Her friend was a young black woman. And guess what happened. Some of the neighbors were awful to her. They even yelled a racial slur. The young woman is not coming back.

These assholes need to be stopped. You are free to believe what you want. You are not free to be horrible to others.

I live in Kansas City North and this made me sick.

That shit doesn't fly with me.

There are a lot of really good people here but there are also some abhorrent people.

I'm right outside Boulder and while it is the farthest left place I've lived, there are still some real vile people here. Colorado in general still has far too many RWNJ's.
