The horiffic story of the "Killers of the Flower Moon"

It is an historical anecdote. The story of a small number of greedy men who used love to cheat others out of their rightful property. It is also the story of the white men who uncovered the evil plot and visited justice on the guilty.

No justice. They were pardoned. This is nit long after thf good white citizens of the same state killed hundreds when they destroyed Negro Wall Street.
 
The movie is 3:26, and apparently Scorcese has a powerful cameo in it at the end. This tragedy, since it happened on federal land, birthed J. Edgar Hoover to end it.

 
You may have heard there is a movie of the same name. History ignored in classrooms all across America.

Nameless, faceless Native Americans, slaughtered like the 19th century.





I was a bit disappointed in the book since it dragged a little bit. Looking forward to the movie.

Most informed Americans have heard this story already
 
The movie is too long at 3:26, so be prepared for it to drag too.
Something interesting about the book... So, much for freedom that the right keeps claiming they are all about...

‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Is an Oklahoma Story, but Educators There Might Not Teach It​

Three years ago, Oklahoma teacher Debra Thoreson requested copies of a book about the century-old murders of Osage people that took place about an hour from where her school is now.

But she changed her plan to assign the book, “Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI,” to her high school English students after passage of a state law that she feared could endanger her license and her school’s accreditation.

The 2021 law, one of several passed by states in recent years that placed greater curbs on classroom content, bars teaching students that they “should feel” psychological distress on account of their race or gender—or be held responsible for past actions by members of their race or gender.

In recent days, the law has come under specific fire in advance of the release of Martin Scorsese’s film “Killers of the Flower Moon,” which hit theaters nationwide Friday and is based on the book by David Grann that Thoreson wanted to use in her classroom.

Supporters of the law, known as HB 1775, say it prohibits teachers from intentionally trying to make students feel anxiety or guilt, but doesn’t prevent educators from teaching history such as that depicted in the film.

Critics of HB 1775, however, have said that it is too vague and has resulted in a chilling effect on teachers. The American Civil Liberties Union and other organizations filed a lawsuit in 2021 on behalf of students and teachers challenging the law, arguing it was unconstitutional under the First and Fourteenth amendments. The lawsuit is pending.

I just saw "Killers of the Flower Moon" at the show today. Scorsesee at his finest. A great film. Leonardo Dicaprio and Robert Deniro were amazing in this film, two of my all time favorite actors.

Whites Need to Feel No Sympathy for These Scalping Savages
 
It was quite entertaining...not sure it was supposed to be.

Unfortunately, I don't think the exploitation and crimes had much to do with the fact that the wealthy, ignorant fukkers were Amerindians.

Kinda like Mr. Drysdale taking advantage of Jed Clampett.
 
Despite oodles of promotion, the film has fallen flat on its face. Second week box office less than $10 million. Oh my.
 
Why does this story need to be told? You have people who, through no "fault" of their own, became fabulously wealthy, and other people tried to take advantage. The story is as old as the hills, and it still goes on. Today's lottery winners, for example.
