1921 Tulsa Massacre WAS A BIG LIE

Interesting video. Some info I didn't even know.

Anything that suggests a "black Wall Street" is suspect from the get-go. We are talking about the stupidest people in the world here, and Tulsa, Oklahoma.

I'm not sure what this guy's issue is.

He makes some good points IMO. And I'm not even 7 minutes into it yet.

The next day, however, the Tulsa Tribune, the city's afternoon daily newspaper, reported that Rowland, who had been picked up by police, had attempted to rape Page. Moreover, according to eyewitnesses, the Tribune also published a now-lost editorial about the incident, titled "To Lynch Negro Tonight." By early evening there was, once again, lynch talk on the streets of Tulsa.

Talk soon turned to action. By 7:30 p.m. hundreds of whites had gathered outside the Tulsa County Courthouse, demanding that the authorities hand over Dick Rowland, but the sheriff refused. At about 9 p.m., after reports of the dire conditions downtown reached Greenwood, a group of approximately twenty-five armed African American men, many of them World War I veterans, went down to the courthouse and offered their services to the authorities to help protect Rowland. The sheriff, however, turned them down, and the men returned to Greenwood. Stunned, and then enraged, members of the white mob then tried to break into the National Guard armory but were turned away by a handful of local guardsmen. At about 10 p.m. a false rumor hit Greenwood that whites were storming the courthouse. This time, a second contingent of African American men, perhaps seventy-five in number, went back to the courthouse and offered their services to the authorities. Once again, they were turned down. As they were leaving, a white man tried to disarm a black veteran, and a shot was fired. The riot began.

Shows why it wasn’t a lie

The deep scars left by the tragedy remained visible for years. While Greenwood was eventually rebuilt, many families never truly recovered from the disaster. Moreover, for many years the violence became something of a taboo subject, particularly in Tulsa. A state commission was formed in 1997 to investigate. The report recommended that reparations be paid to the remaining black survivors. A team of scientists and historians uncovered evidence supporting long-held beliefs that unidentified victims had been buried in unmarked grave sites.

The POINT is that it was not a "massacre," and to characterize it as one is a lie. It was a "race riot" which turned out badly for the outnumbered and outgunned Blacks. Seems like the local Authorities could have handled it much better, but second-guessing from a hundred years later is rather lame.

There are no reparations for times when you get into a fight and lose. It was regrettable for a number of reasons but one must move on.

I guess that depends on which end of the slaughter you were on.

That is a downright offensive description of what happened. An armed white mob stormed the black community with the intent of murdering and burning it to the ground.

That is not.....getting into a fight that you lost

 

[Tommy Tainant]

This is just a race trolling thread for the usmb klan to get erect over. What next ? The positive side of slavery ?

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

The Democrats used it to incite more Progressive hate and violence and help the Dems get elected.

The usual suspects Uncle Tom ed the video- and, helped prove his point- relying on propaganda to verify their feelings- vs using common sense/logic and evidence to come to a conclusion- it seems, that some, maybe many, badly want to point a finger at their perception of wrong- refusing to see where three fingers point back- always blaming someone else for their perceived problems- and, it isn't just liberals that do that, BTW- it's a common characteristic of people in general-

No, I'm not defending wrong doing- so just stop, before you start, and think! for crying out loud- on your own- the results (which we're living in) speak for themselves- or, if you can cite evidence that what the guy in the video said/thinks is wrong- just do it- no, you haven't- tell us how what he said is inaccurate- don't use published, always skewed, views- lead us to how you've arrived at your conclusions- that's what the video did- common courtesy and decorum protocol dictates the course of action-
