‘I am seeking justice’: Tulsa massacre survivor, 107, testifies to US Congress

[rightwinger]

Tulsa needs to erect a monument detailing what was done.
It is part of their history

Should Sanford FL erect a monument to Trayvon as well? Should Baltimore erect one to Freddie Gay?

Mea Culpa
Tulsa owes it to their citizens. Unlike your lame....Whatabouts?

Tulsa encouraged and covered up the attack
Nobody was prosecuted, nobody was compensated

"Tulsa" didn't do a dam thing. Certain residents of the town , who are no longer around to defend themselves, may have.

Tulsa stood by while the attacks took place, they made no effort to prosecute those who did it, they covered up what really happened, never compensated the victims

If the government didn't commit the crime, why would they compensate anyone? As far as prosecuting cases, the DA may have not thought he had enough evidence to convince 12 angry men of anyone's guilt. Prosecutorial discretion, like when no one was prosecuted for the death of Vince Foster or the teenage Gang Rape parties in Montgomery County MD in the 80's.

100-300 deaths, thousands of homes burned, blacks left homeless with no government assistance offered.

Not a single white was prosecuted
Blacks were

The allegation that "all" of the people in Tulsa or any other large city were worthless pieces of crap involved is unproven.

 

[TheParser]

Hard to imagine it was covered up with nobody held accountable

The same thing is happening today with the violence and mayhem being committed by young black males who committ over half of all violent crime in America and the msm has even admitted to it saying they do not want to make blacks look bad.

Black thugs in Chicago alone kill more blacks in 6 months than the kkk did in its entire history of violence.

And when you look at the numbers of white folks killed by blacks the race riots are small in comparision to numbers killed by blacks.

And yet the liberal narrative remains......blacks are the victims aka the politics of black victimhood--- oh the hypocrisy of it all....stinks to high heaven.

Completely inflated numbers.

The whole thing started when a black man assaulted a white woman.

A lynch mob showed up at the jail, and a counter mob of armed blacks did too. A black man open fired on a white man, and a huge fight ensued. 10 white men were killed, and two blacks. So white people wanted some social justice for the thug criminals. If the roles were reversed you’d be cheering it.

In all only 26 blacks were killed, not “300”.

It’s also likely the blacks were rioting and ended up burning their own businesses and neighborhoods down. That’s what they do today.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

The owners of property destroyed in Minneapolis, Kenosha, Ferguson and Portland would like justice too. Have blacks ever paid for the damage done in the race riots of the 60s? How about the Rodney King riots?

Justice for whites!

Statute of limitations has long run out.

That's why it has to be reparations.

Let us look at what triggered this event
[snipped]
None of which excuses what followed....but it does help make it more understandable.

In fact much more understandable than the black on black and black on white violence which makes the Tulsa incident seem rather tame in comparison....39 blacks in Tulsa were killed along with 11 whites.

How long does it take in Chicago now for blacks to kill 39 other blacks....just a long hot weekend.

There is nothing understandable about the actions of the white mob that torched the black community other than traditionally whites are allowed to walk away unscathed from the wanton crime and destruction of the lives and property of black people. Their behavior is often downplayed to make it seem as if there was no malice or ill intent involved and excuses galore are made for why they should not be punished, just look at how the mob who stormed the Capitol on January 6th was allowed to walk away, no arrests were made at that time even when they were still milling about after curfew.

In the case of the Tulsa race riot, the alleged perpetrator was in custody, but the white mob wanted the sheriff to turn him over so that they could lynch him. That should tell you every you need to know right there. These people weren't interested in justice, they wanted vengeance and blood due to the allegation that a white woman had been assaulted when it was reported that the black teenager Rowlands tripped while entering the elevator and made physical contact with the white female who was operating the lift.

One victim, one alleged perpetrator who was in custody yet for that "offense" they torched the entire black community.

When white racists burn crosses, lynch black people, bomb churches, etc. there isn't just one victim. The act terrorizes the entire black community and that is by design. When law enforcement fails to round up the perpetrators and prosecute them, that adds to the injury. When the courts fails to find them liable or convict them, this injustice further adds to the injury, not just to the individuals involved but to the entire black community and again this is by design and the purpose of these acts. That's why we have hate crime enhancements

Sometimes, a violent crime can be considered both a hate crime and a terrorist attack. An example is the 2015 massacre of nine African Americans at a church in Charleston by white supremacist Dylann Roof. For the most part, though, terrorist attacks are not included in tabulations of hate crimes.​

And unless I'm mistaken the gang violence that occurs in some inner cities that you are attempting to compare to what happened during the Tulsa race riots is "regular" criminal activity for which the perpetrators are charged and prosecuted when they are found. None of the white mob were ever even sought out from what I've read, let alone charged or prosecuted for their acts of violence.

On a side note, the Tulsa race riot took place before the FBI began collecting crime statistics but even if they had been during this time period, this incident would have gone on the record as being caused by blacks with blacks being the perpetrators and the only arrestees, instead of the violent crime victims which they were. Just another example of what I've stated before, that the FBI statistics are only as accurate as the data that goes into their database and that a lot of crime perpetrated against black has never ever formerly been acknowledged let alone justice obtained.

Race riots suck, don't they?

It's why no one likes BLM.

[Whodatsaywhodat.]

For nearly a century she was denied a voice by a culture of silence. Finally, at the age of 107, Viola Fletcher got a national stage on Wednesday to bear witness to America’s deep history of racial violence.

Fletcher is the oldest living survivor of a massacre that took place in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on 31 May and 1 June 1921 when a white mob attacked the city’s “Black Wall Street”, killing an estimated 300 African Americans while robbing and burning more than 1,200 businesses, homes and churches
She was just seven years old at the time.

For decades the atrocity was actively covered up and wished away. But Fletcher and her 100-year-old brother are seeking reparations and, ahead of the massacre’s centenary, appeared before a House of Representatives judiciary subcommittee considering legal remedies.

....A third survivor, Lessie Evelyn Benningfield Randle, 106, also testified virtually. She said: “It means a lot to me to finally be able to look at you all in the eye and ask you to do the right thing. I have waited so long for justice.”

‘I am seeking justice’: Tulsa massacre survivor, 107, testifies to US Congress

Viola Fletcher is the oldest survivor of the racist attack on the city’s ‘Black Wall Street’ in 1921 that left up to 300 African Americans dead

www.theguardian.com

Just the fact that there are three survivors still living is mind blowing.

I think they should receive compensation of some kind, but being old they are not going to have much time to reap much of the benefit. If there are reparations I believe they should come from the state of Oklahoma as well as the fed.
I think if a survivor of something like this is able to step forward, it should count for something. They should be given enough to pass on to their kids and grandkids. Im sort of scratching my head wondering why they didnt come forward earlier though, even when Obama was president for 8 years. I cant imagine his administration not giving these people a chance to talk.

Lol. Would have been the only thing the Obama Biden administration did for blacks .
