Some defended the murals, saying their intent wasn't racist or intimidating but to depict local history, even if it is ugly.

The murals are a part of history! If we keep taking down/and or removing statue's and Murals why teach history in schools!!! This is getting totally out of hand!!

Tim Montee

why take them down, it is history that needs to be seen and remembered the way it was and not the way they want you to see it, or not see it...

Border Ruffian

If the paintings are offensive, then you'd have to count George Caleb Bingham's famous Order Number 11 painting as offensive too.

History is HISTORY!!!

Trying to sweep history under the door is no way to improve our Nation. The Boone County Commission is a failure.

Examining our past is SUPPOSED to feel uncomfortable. This is where the urge to grow and change comes from. It's the same sort of whitewashing of the past as the fake issue of Critical Race Theory.

Max

If these paintings were painted today, there would be drive by shootings, tent cities on the sidewalks, and needles and human waste everywhere. We don't want the truth to be exposed. It might hurt someone's feelings.

Laura Davidson

What does it matter? They will do what they want regardless.

Melanie Dix

Because the people in the painting are white not black.

For workers it is sound. For those on welfare it could be a problem. Things are about to change.

Well my uneducated self who is debt free, doesn't live outside my means, retired before 50 will be just fine regardless what happens. No you educated, debt ridden, living off the government's charity..... well you yourself are to blame. Be accountable for your life and actions.

Fred

When the debt finally becomes unsustainable ... which isn't that far off ... the solution historically is to monetize the debt, leading to hyperinflation. Read up on it ... you will not be immune.

The "dollar" is not real. The economy is the labor the people provide.

We're headed for a train wreck.

Because Kansas is a better program. KU used to be bad but Coach Lance Leipold has made KU better.

Going to say it's about right for this point in the season. They can move up as they keep winning games.

Fat Guy Outdoors

They beat an unranked Kansas team. Take it easy, it was a great win but it was Kansas. Do that to a top 25 team now. Great game though was a great experience.

Randy Davis

The tigers are overrated as it is.

JIC CoMo

It just depends on how the other teams done in the league. That is how teams should be ranked.
