Was The McKinney "Pool Party" Actually A Case Of Teen Prostitution?

If you've been following the media coverage of the OMG MCKINNEY TEXAS RACIST PIG WHITE SUPREMACY RACISM "pool party" incident, then I would hope that you have already noticed the absurdity of the provided narrative. We are asked to believe that, following a confrontation between white residents of a gated Texas community, a fascist pig cop just happened to show up and started physically attacking black residents of the gated community for no reason whatsoever, as whites shouted "Go Back To Section 8!" at their own neighbors. Neighbors, they ask you to believe, who were using the pool legitimately just as the whites screaming at them were.

The true story, of course, is completely different.

Let's start with one side's version of events. African-American activism site The Root offers the kindest possible interpretation of what happened here:

Tatiana Rhodes, a 19-year-old McKinney resident, reportedly planned the event, which, Heavy notes, was advertised on social media. According to the flier, a group calling itself Dimepiece X Twinzz Promotions was listed as the host of the pool party, which was scheduled from 4:30 to 10 p.m. The event was deejayed by DJ Reign, a Dallas DJ who’s listed on his Twitter account as CEO of EventsHavoc! He isn’t interested in talking about the events of Friday, according to tweets on his Twitter account.

Before messaging that he had no interest in talking about Friday’s events, he reportedly fielded a few from folks who believed that he’d coordinated the pool party.

According to Twitchy, someone posting from DJ Reign’s account noted that he wasn’t near the event when it took place and that he didn’t make the fliers. In addition, posts noted that he was paid to deejay the event and nothing more. There have been conflicting reports as to how many guests were in attendance, but many outlets put the number as high as 70 teens.

So far, so good, except for one thing: it wasn't a pool party. It was a cookout, held without permits or any attempt to obtain permission, on the park next to the pool. The pool-party imagery on social media, together with an ill-timed Tweet from "DJ Reign", made people think that it was a pool party.

And guess what? There was a private pool next to the park! So some of the kids who lived in the neighborhood decided to use their membership cards to go to the pool instead.

And some of them let their friends in.

And when other people saw that happen, they climbed the fence.

So. Imagine you're at the pool with your children, a pool for which you are paying exorbitant HOA fees and membership fees, and you see between 70 and 100-plus people climbing the fences to get into the pool. Doesn't matter if they are white, black, or whatever. At that point, you're calling security. Right? As fate would have it, I have some personal experience with this. When Bark and I were kids, we used to sneak into a local apartment community's swimming pool in the summer. We quickly learned that we had to arrive in groups of one or two kids. If six or seven of us showed up at once, someone would complain and the apartment management would arrive.

That's six or seven white kids between the ages of 8 and 15, on BMX bikes.

So I have no trouble believing that the sudden arrival of seventy or more teenagers would prompt a call to security. There are also allegations that bottles of beer were thrown at children who were already in the pool into order to "clear the area", but there is no proof.

The promoters of the cookout abdicated responsibility for the event. They made no attempts to control their own crowd. Instead, they watched while their partygoers trespassed on private property.

So they're stupid. But not so stupid that they haven't hired attorneys.

I'd encourage you to read this very thorough breakdown of the events leading up to the arrival of the police. It's not written without bias --- at one point, the wince-inducing phrase "gladiator males" appears --- but the photos and videos and evidence are real.

The most troubling allegation in the piece is that Tatyana Rhodes and her mother profit from organizing parties in which underage women are encouraged to "make it clap" in front of adult men.

Sexual exploitation is the real story being concealed. The fact that Tatyana’s mother, LaShana Burks, is also involved adds a particular unease to the exploitative mix.

LaShana Burks obviously has no issue with her 20-year-old daughter organizing parties where 13, 14, 15 year old girls intermix with teenage and much older gladiator males, during her “make it clap” parties. The same type of young adult males who were present at the “Dime Piece Cookout”, turned pool party fiasco, last Friday.

However, Mrs. Burks is apparently not alone; after all – the families (fathers) of Grace, Jahda and Dajerria have appeared together with their daughters on national television defending their “Dime Piece Cookout” behavior, and subsequent participation in the “Dime Piece” event(s).

The social media of the aforementioned teen “Dime Piece Girls” is so profoundly vulgar in graphic sexual language and imagery, we intentionally refuse to show or link to it. Personally we find it difficult to believe their parents accept what is being advertised by their teenage daughters. However, we are forced to admit, there exists today a sociology of thug-life and culture that accepts behavior historically defined as lacking virtue or morality.

It would be profoundly interesting, before they get too far in retreat, to put Tatyana Rhodes and her mother LaShana Burks back in front of a camera and ask them to explain to a national audience what the verbiage of their promotional events reference.

You don't have to be a racist, or a prude, to be profoundly disturbed at the idea of "dime piece cookouts". The question becomes: how many of these parties took place, and how many young women were violated so that Tatyana and her mother could make money? If nobody in the media asks those questions, is it because they are afraid to question African-American women about the exploitation of children? In that case, is the cop who arrived on the scene still the biggest racist out there?
