Kansas City Hotel Supervisor Fired After Hanging A “Slave Doll” From A Plastic Bag Noose In Doorway To Her Office

Kansas City Adams Mark Worker Files Complaint After Supervisor “Lynched” Slave Doll In Entrance To Her Office This is just crazy the isht people think they can get away with these days… According to KSHB Kansas City reports : Jaysyn Craddock is a front desk assistant at the Adam’s Mark Hotel. He explained to 41 Action News that he was working on July 21, when his supervisor hung the black doll from the noose and asked him to come and look at it. “So she looked at me and said, ‘Look what I hung up,’ in a giggling way and she asked me, ‘Does this offend you?’ She didn’t say ‘I’m sorry,’ she said ‘Does this offend you?’ And I didn’t say anything. I was just so upset that I went back to helping people and she left it up until the end of the night,” Craddock said. Later, Craddock and some co-workers complained to the front desk manager. “It’s embarrassing. It’s humiliating. Like I felt like that no actions were going to be taken, because our front desk manager spoke to all of us individually and she asked us if we wanted to speak to the person who hung up the doll and we all said yes. She said something to us individually; but she said after you speak with my supervisor, I don’t want to hear anything about it,” Craddock added. Adams Mark Hotel later fired the supervisor. A statement from the hotel said the supervisor “hung a slave doll using a plastic bag as a noose and displayed the doll in an employee common area.” A photo of the doll has been circulating on social media sites since July 22, according to the attorney. Craddock’s attorneys have filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. If the EEOC gives them the green light, Craddock’s attorneys will be able to sue the Adam’s Mark Hotel for harassment. The hotel has since released the following statement: “This isolated incident is completely inconsistent with the values and culture of the Adam’s Mark Hotel Kansas City. This disturbing occurrence took place late Tuesday evening, July 21st. When brought to the attention of management the following day, an investigation was initiated. Immediately following the investigation, the employee was terminated, Friday, July 24th, prior to the start of their next shift. The Adam’s Mark Kansas City is committed to maintaining a positive working environment free of unlawful harassment.” Do you think he should sue the hotel? This is so crazy, the last place anyone should have to deal with this kind of bs is at work. Instagram

American Idol Season 14 Episode 3 Recap: From Small Town to Stardom

American Idol Season 14 Episode 3 takes auditions on the road! Literally! The Idol bus tour traveled the country, stopping off in 11 towns choosing contestants to audition for the judges in Kansas City, MO. Harry, Jennifer, and Keith are ready to hear them sing for a chance at stardom…right after Harry and Jennifer discuss her generous derriere. First up on the evening is Rontarius “Big Ron” Wilson enters the room singing a riff of J.Lo’s “Jenny From the Block.” He tells Jennifer she can call him Big Sexy before singing “Let’s Get It On” to her and completely ignoring the guys, who decide to go out for a burger in the middle of his audition and leave him singing. At this point, I feel like I would just watch an hour of Jennifer, Harry, and Keith hanging out. Big Ron gets a golden ticket and his mom lets out a few “Whooooos!” that would put Vicki Gunvalson to shame. Some kid named Ian gets the boot after “hitting” a high C. Ashley Lusk, 15, however doesn’t seem like she’s going to strike out. Neither does Josh Sanders, 26. And then there’s returning contestant Casey Thrasher from Tuscaloosa. He was sent home during Hollywood last year (when they decided to keep the guy who couldn’t sing with his eyes open). They all get golden tickets. Joey Cook plays the accordion. She’s got a dream of making the “squeeze box” mainstream. Hard sell on the accordion, but her voice has something really cool about it. She gets an easy yes with the great advice from Harry to pay attention to how close to being a novelty she is. Keith goes Super Australian since her name’s Joey.  See? Let’s just let the judges be funny.  Alexis Gomez didn’t plan to be a country girl since she didn’t ride horses. Because all people who sing country music ride horses. Especially Keith. She calls herself “hippie country” and auditions barefoot. Keith can see the talent in her but doesn’t think it’s fully realized. Harry calls it good but not spectacular. Keith says no. Jennifer gives her a yes. Harry breaks the tie with a yes. Anton Busnher’s favorite country singer is Keith Urban. (How many of the country hopefuls say that?) He sings one of Keith’s songs, which is always brave. Jennifer doesn’t seem to know what to think. Keith tears up a little. Harry totally loves him. Anton gets a golden ticket. We’ve seen a LOT of girls with guitars. Stephanie Gummelt is the latest of the bunch, and she decides to sing an original song. There’s something old school Jewel about her, plus she has a great personality. Very quirky. Jennifer likes her, Harry wants more breath behind her song and gives her a no. Jennifer and Keith give her yes votes and send her to Hollywood. Ashley Stehle is 15. She’s been singing her whole life, but both of her parents are deaf. Her father has only recently heard her sing for the first time thanks to a new hearing device. But she’s very off key for the whole audition and the judges have to let her down and send her home.  Ellen Petersen comes in with a banjo. She’s from Branson, Keith’s wearing a Branson t-shirt. It’s basically perfect. AND she yodels. Who is she? Heidi? Yodeling, a banjo, and the accordion girl! They should be an act and go on the road! Ellen has some fun in her voice. She’s going to Hollywood.  But first, Keith and Harry have to sing  The Beverly Hillbillies theme song with her playing banjo. Jennifer has no idea what The Beverly Hillbillies is. I feel sad for her. Kohlton Pascal is from New York, but he’s homeless. He hitchhikes or plays guitar and raises money to buy a bus ticket. He left home at 16 and has only ever spent 3-4 days in the same place since then. He sings an original and I can’t say I think his future is in songwriting. And maybe it isn’t in singing either. Harry calls him terrific but says he wonders if Kohlton will get out of his comfort zone to win. Jennifer thought it was interesting but wonders if we’d still feel his soul down the road. Keith likes his talent but thinks he doesn’t have the look. Basically, they’re saying “this is going to be crazy hard and the machine will eat you alive.” They send him to Hollywood and he closes out the night. In all, 38 tickets were given out in Kansas City. But who cares about that when there are ribs to be eaten? Auditions continue tomorrow night in New York City and Adam Lambert steps in to judge for Keith.

Jesus Take The Wheel: Molotov Cocktail Thrown Through Window Of Black Missouri Congressman Emanuel Cleaver’s Office Window

Post-race America, huh? Molotov Cocktail Thrown Threw Black Congressman’s Office Window Via HuffingtonPost Police in Kansas City, Missouri say someone threw a Molotov cocktail at Rep. Emanuel Cleaver’s (D-Mo.) office there early Thursday morning, breaking a window but failing to start a fire. Police responded to an alarm at Cleaver’s office around 3:00 a.m. “Upon arrival they observed a window on the northwest side of the building to be broken out,” the Kanas City Police Department stated in an incident report. “On the ground below the window they observed two broken bottles with paper towels sticking out the necks of the bottles resembling a Molotov cocktail. There was a chemical odor resembling that of lighter fluid. The only damage appeared to be the broken window.” “The bottles did not go through the window, but were found outside below the broken window,” the report continued. “The paper towels were extinguished, and on the ground near the bottles. The responsible party stated there did not appear to be any fire damage to the building.” John Jones, Cleaver’s chief of staff, said in a statement posted online that a window had been broken. “This is the second incident within the last six years,” Jones said. “None of the staff was in the building, and because Congress is in session, Congressman Cleaver is in Washington, D.C. We have been in constant contact with the staff, and we thank the Kansas City Police, as well as the Kansas City Bomb and Arson Squad for their quick response and thorough work. All of the Congressman’s offices will be open for regular business.” Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio), chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, called for the perpetrator to be caught and prosecuted in a statement Thursday. “The Congressional Black Caucus strongly condemns this type of vandalism targeted at Congressman Cleaver, and denounces any act of violence towards Members of Congress,” Fudge said. “This type of abhorrent behavior is the most ineffective means of voicing discontent or disagreement.” People ain’t isht.
