    As a white guy who lives in a northern inner city, I would describe how redlining, institutional racism, lack of opportunity & a local police force that doesn’t live here make it horrible on anyone dark, but the racists are too stupid to understand. Maybe they should stick to what they know; screwing up their lives and blaming everyone else.

    the riot started when blacks showed up at the court house where they had heard a mob of whites had lynched a black prisoner. there had been no lynching but they had killed 10 whites when the whites started retaliating. if the blacks want to survive the coming civil war they had better choose wisely what side they will be on. the side that has guns or the side that doesn't know what bathroom to use.

    @@DoxRap and by "protecting," you mean they opened fire. Justified or not, that's accurate. I don't know the specifics of the case against the defendant, but in essence an armed group showed up to take custody of a member of their community, and opened fire during that process. It's understandable, honestly. It's similarly understandable that, in the process, others returned fire when fired upon. This seems like a fair statement, does it not? ETA: there is an objective truth behind this event, and it's likely the case that misunderstandings, individuals with malicious intent, individuals will good intent, and confusion (on all sides) all contributed to a tragedy.

    I knew about this from reports of a nun with a group of her students comming back to the school with a group of students when they were on a trolley that ran between the court house and the area where this started. I heard of her becoming frightened after hearing the first gun shots ring out and having to duct down because of gun fire with her students . She described as terrifying. No one was hurt who was on the trolley . My father was a teen age boy 17 years of age living in Joplin he and a couple of his buddies came down to Tulsa in a quest to see what had happened. He reported that every thing was destroyed and he saw pick-up trucks filled with bodies being removed while the was still seeing smoke rising from the bombed out homes and buildings . In his words it was horrible . The story he told us was a white woman got on an elevator in the court house accused a black man of touching her in the elevator and it was later discovered to be a lie .The north side never grew back to its former self .

It all makes sense now I'm a true descendant of Black Wall Street being oppressed by American aristocrats. The u.s. stock market is down because they don't want to see one black man OG Reggie B win at the game. Now go figure that you don't have to take my word for it, ask somebody in the know.

They killed men women and children. This prevented the commerce that started and pushed blacks so far behind that they never recovered. Soldiers who are praised today were killed in the riots Oh we honor our men and women in uniform. How many other blacks would have benefited from seeing what was possible?

    Tulsa Historian and Oklahoma Eagle Journalist, Juanita Hopkins, was my English teacher at Marian Anderson Jr. High in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She told us Greenwood was not called "Black Wall Street" until after the massacre when everyone pulled together to rebuild and come back stronger than ever. That's when it became known was Black Wall Street. Booker T. Washington has compared it to a "Black Wall Street' once in a newspaper article but no one else referred to it by that name prior to the massacre. Black Wall Street rose like a phoenix from the ashes. Most people also don't realize that Greenwood is on the Cherokee Reservation. North of Admiral Blvd. in Tulsa is Cherokee Nation Reservation and just south of Admiral Blvd. is Creek Nation Reservation. Thus, the massacre took place on two Indian reservations that still exist and have never been disestablished by Congress. They just were not going to be kept down. They were determined not to give up. So they rebuilt Greenwood and it was just wonderful. It became known as The Black Wall Street of America." - Eunice Jackson "The North Tulsa after the riot was even more impressive than before the riot. That is when Greenwood became known as 'The Black Wall Street of America.'" - Juanita Alexander Lewis Hopkins theoklahomaeagle.net/2017/07/28/civil-rights-activist-and-former-oklahoma-eagle-journalist-juanita-lewis-hopkins-succumbs/ www.batesline.com/archives/2011/05/the-1921-tulsa-race-riot-and-the.html

    At one time the Black communities owned businesses. Economic security programs helped families meet basic needs & improve their lives, but design features influenced by anti-Black racism and sexism have created an inadequate system of support that particularly harms BlACK families. The nation’s primary program, providing cash assistance when parents are out of work or have very low income, is perhaps the clearest example of a program whose history is steeped in RACIST ideas and policies, that strip Blacks of their dignity. The Democrate party, then and now send a check and keep the businesses closed, bring in forighners and give them business loans, never any help for these people to start using there business abilities. I will NEVER vote for the Dem politicians. President Regan educated me. I am now a conversitive. You should be too.
