The recent obsession of the Tulsa Massacre by the media is an indication of something, in fact, it is an indication of many, many things. Why, after 100 years, is the media finally getting round to talking about it? But a more disturbing question is, why were they afraid to tell the citizens of the US about it when it happened as they buried the story and refused to tell America that an entire town had been murdered and wiped off the face of the earth?
To break this down, we must first understand why they are telling us about this now. One reason is that the event happened around Memorial day in 1921, and it is about that time once again. But more to the point, the event has been hyperinflated recently because the press has an agenda, and that agenda is to make Americans think ill of themselves having come from such a racist country. It is an attempt to transform America into a nation that hates itself, and feels as though they must destroy themselves and start over, or forever be guilty and culpable of all of the sins done to Black people. Then political figures will enter the scene to radically transform everything to "atone" for the sins of the past. At least, that is the message they are selling.
But why tell us now and not back then? Was the media afraid to tell the US public because they thought that they would disapprove? This would indicate that the general public was not as racist as the media would have us believe and government that covered up the event. Of course, you could argue that the media was afraid of arousing black anger and violence by revealing the incident, but then, how is that any different now? If so, why are they not afraid to reveal this now because it could triggo\er the same reaction today?
Naturally, the media had no intention of this story being used to focus on the themselves. For example, just how much control over the press does the government have? Or just how more sinister and racist has the media of the past been compared to the average public to be complicit in this evil act? You can't get me to believe that the media and government leaders were not afraid of the white condemnation about the event, especially since the nation had fought a bloody Civil war over slavery some 100 years prior to the massacre as white fought against white to free Black slaves.
The media would have you believe that they are no longer the same, they are no longer the racist thugs they once used to be, but the average white person is. But this event would say otherwise. This event shows us just how dark and sinister the media has been, and probably still is. If not, what changed them that did not change the society at large like they would have us all believe?
More than ever, I believe the media to be the enemy of the people.
I know hardly anything about the Tulsa incident.
I do now remember reading years ago that it started after a Caucasian lady accused an African American gentleman of improper behavior inside an elevator.
I do not know whether the American media completely ignored the destruction of that neighborhood.
IF it did, then the media were wrong.
It was news.
But we have to remember that it was in 1921.
At that time, Americans had a different attitude toward non-Caucasians.
So I could understand why the media (reportedly) decided not to stir up things by reporting it.
Today, of course, it's the total reverse.
If a Caucasian even looks at an African American in an unfriendly manner, it will be front page news.
I'll give you a taste of how the media is steering us today to make my point.
I will analyze the covering of two shootings, one in Atlanta and the other in Colorado by the media and both covered by Reuters whom many view as someone objective and reporting the news.
(Reuters) -The Georgia man arrested in connection with shootings at Atlanta-area day spas that left eight people dead, including six Asian women, indicated he had issues with sexual addiction, law enforcement officials said on Wednesday.

1. The shooter in Atlanta has his white face plastered on the screen for all to see.
2. The story goes on and on and on about how he was a devout Christian
3. It says that although he did not cite and racial motivations for the shootings, that it was entirely possible that there was at least a racial undertone for the shootings as 6 of the 8 who died were Asian.
Now lets look at the shooting in Colorado.
Police on Tuesday publicly identified the suspect accused of killing 10 people - including a policeman - in a hail of bullets at a Colorado supermarket, marking the second deadly U.S. mass shooting in a week and adding to the state's tragic history of lethal gun violence.
www.reuters.com
1. The article used the name of the shooter which was Middle East sounding only once, but made no reference as to his race.
2. The story made no mention that all of the people killed were white, they only gave us their names.
3. There was no mention that the shooting may have been racially motivated, even though all the victims were ALL white.
4. In fact, the article made sure to use a quote from the police that “It would be premature for us to draw any conclusions at this time,", while in the article before it they speculated all day about the motives of the Atlanta shooter being racially motivated despite NO evidence.
5. They then switched gears to talk about the need for gun control. When the shooter is white, they talk about white race wars but when the shooter is of color they talk about the need for gun control.
6. There is no mention of the religion he identified with, a man who came from Syria and most likely Muslim
7. The article made no mention that Biden had just bombed Syria a few days prior, with a possible connection. In fact, the article only talked about him being crazy.
So now you can read similar stories in the future with the same lens The media is hyping up more racial violence as they did in the past when the media targeted black folk, only, now it is white folk.
In fact, I want reparations for white folk for what they are attempting to do now.
