Tulsa Race Massacre - Facts, Photos, Coverup | HISTORY

During the Tulsa Race Massacre, a white mob attacked residents, homes and businesses in the predominantly Black Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa, Oklahoma over 18 hours on May 31-June 1, 1921. The event remains one of the worst incidents of racial violence in U.S. history.

A white mob attacked innocent blacks, out of the blue. No reason. Dull day. Spice it up a little.
Of course not. There was context. Rightly or wrongly there was context.

 

[insolent imp]

It started out as a black riot, much like we have today. Only in those days the people were having none of it.

Following World War I, Tulsa was recognized nationally for its affluent African American community known as the Greenwood District. This thriving business district and surrounding residential area was referred to as “Black Wall Street.”

In the early morning hours of June 1, 1921, Greenwood was looted and burned by white rioters. Governor Robertson declared martial law, and National Guard troops arrived in Tulsa. Guardsmen assisted firemen in putting out fires, took African Americans out of the hands of vigilantes and imprisoned all black Tulsans not already interned. Over 6,000 people were held at the Convention Hall and the Fairgrounds, some for as long as eight days.

I find this account of the events to be highly unlikely. A bunch of blacks minding their own business were attacked out of nowhere? Pfff...

yes they were completely wiped off the map by an angry white mob who even used planes and dynamite to assure complete destruction.

Why? No reason? What happened to cause whites to attack blacks? Nothing? Anything? A sudden onset of white psychosis perhaps?

Could it be the attack followed a massive black protest over the arrest of a man named Rowland? Nah. Couldn't be.

the blacks came to the defense of a young man about to be lynched by a white mob. The whites drove them back then destroyed their whole town.

I know. It is part of massaging historical facts. But basically it started out as a black riot.

The Watts riot started off with the police shooting one black. The King riot started with a not guilty verdict over a police beating. There's history here. In both Watts and King whites went home and left the streets to black carnage. If whites had fought back, it would have been Tulsa.

Again, you might wanna read your link. The thing that sparked the whole deal was that a black man rode in an elevator with a white woman. The black man was arrested and an investigation was started. An article was written in the Tulsa newspaper about the event, sparking racial tension. Black people showed up to protest the arrest of the black man, and then white people showed up to protest the black people gathering. THAT is what started the whole thing.

Protest is every Americans first amendment right. Are you arguing that a reasonable response to black people exercising their rights is violence and genocide?

thats not correct,, he wasnt arrested for riding in the elevator with a white women,,

 

[ABikerSailor]

thats not correct,, he wasnt arrested for riding in the elevator with a white women,,

He was riding in an elevator with a white woman. She apparently didn't like it and made an accusation, which resulted in his arrest. The Tulsa paper wrote an inflammatory article about the whole situation. Blacks assembled outside of the jail, as they were fearful that he was going to be lynched or killed. White people showed up to protest the blacks assembling, and that is what started the whole event.

Ever heard of Emmet Till? He was a black man who was killed simply for whistling at a white woman.

Hmmmm. Now that you stir the memory bank... I. remember the Watts protests, the Rodney King protests, even the Lakers victory celebration. So, yes.

I remember old elevators. They were in use up until the 50s. Certainly in 1921. There was no such thing as getting in an elevator and pushing a button. All elevators had elevator operators. It wasn't just a black guy and a white woman in the elevator. There was an elevator operator who would have been a witness. We don't know what happened and may never know. History is being changed just as George Orwell saw in 1984.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Yes. Its a legal theory in law school and not relevant to this.

WRONG.

Completely wrong.

See. You don't know shit. You're out of your league.

Is that the school of groomers located under a Pizza Shop owned by the Clintons?

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Erase? It's that we shouldn't honor all aspects of our past.

And just because some dude was a member of the confederate army does not automatically dishonor him.

THAT's the point.

she was the elevator operator. And the police investigation revealed the black kid grabbed her arm and she didn't want to press charges.
