Stephan:   I see these  American racist stories now almost every day. You will remember the one I ran the other day about the Black man talking to his mom in the Double Tree hotel lobby. This one is almost unbelievable for several reasons. First, a grown man kicking a child. Second, the man is White and the little boy is Black. Third, this entire local media report does not mention the race aspect. A gown White man goes into the store kicks a one-year-old Black child, cursing Black people using the worst possible racist language as he does so, and to this station that is not even worth mentioning.  Welcome to Kansas. For me, this story made understanding how Sam Brownback got elected governor comprehensible. There is a good side however, that must also be mentioned. When Riff Trace -- yes that is his name -- does this vile act other men in the store grab him and keep him from leaving. So there is hope, even in Kansas.

Lashantai Whitaker is the mother of the 1-year-old boy police say fell to the floor after being kicked by Trace. Wednesday, she spoke with Eyewitness News about what happened early Sunday morning.

“We were barely in the store and (Trace) kicked him in […]
