This is so fucking wild, man. I never thought about how the shitty music was so fucking consistent between bars and restaurants
The receipts described in the complaint are damning. Text messages between Westport community property owners conspiring to strategically “eliminate ‘problematic’ owners in Westport, and for the purpose of preventing ‘problematic’ people from patronizing Westport.” A secret “No Play List“ banning popular Black artists like Beyoncé, Meg the Stallion, Drake, Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar, Migos, and Travis Scott from being played at venues. Landlords admitting on tape that they had no legal grounds to block a Black restaurateur’s lease, but doing it anyway after the CID intervened. And a twelve-member CID board, every single member white, acting as gatekeepers over who gets liquor licenses and who gets “turned in to Regulated Industries,” the city agency that polices alcohol permits.” If Lee’s claims are proven, this is what a modern conspiracy to permeate segregation throughout a community looks like. Not burning crosses. Not explicit laws. But contracts weaponized as cudgels, liquor licenses held hostage, and music turned into evidence of who deserves to belong. Welcome to what can only be described as a new form of Jim Crow in Kansas City.

This wasn’t brought on by some recent event, I just saw a video of dudes driving around in silly garage contraptions like a motorized stepladder on wheels
