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

[freyasman]

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.

"no one likes BLM"? Oh really?

Allow me to clarify; No one that is actually worth a shit as a person, likes BLM.


Did that help?

BLM used to be a sideshow

Now, they have moved main stage. Corporate America has embraced them, America has embraced them

They were right

I don't think "embraced" is the right word; more like urban folks have knuckled under to their extortion, and the rest of us just shake our heads in disgust.

They're the Klan with a tan.

With new examples coming out every week, it is obvious that BLM is right

No it's not.


You okay?
You having a psychotic break or something?

I can call someone if you need help.....

WTF are you going on about?

 

[Rarius]

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 am seeking an apology for the money collapse of 2008. We all lost something and need to get more without worrying about bad investments. Start the printing press and for each family that filed bankruptcy, send a million to ease our foolishness. Yes Woke is well !

Give some examples

 

[Orangecat]

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

Sounds like the forefathers to antifa/blm.

 

[Mac-7]

I wonder how many white people under the age of 100 do libs want to burn at the stake to appease their lust for revenge?

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.

Bull crap.

Tulsa, all of the govt and citizens, covered it up.

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

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

Why is the MSM bringing up this terrible event, at a time when race relations are already stressed? I think this is a good question. I suspect the MSM, which has a long history of divisive reporting, seeks to further incite violence. If true, why would they do this?

Do you not think innocent people will suffer harm because of this story being brought to the forefront?

Now you want to bury it even longer

 

[rightwinger]

I think what Tulsa needs to do for reparations is set aside tax dollars for black business.

Make up for the long term effects of destroying black business in 1921

Your attitude is similar to what we saw for 100 years after the end of slavery.
It was never “the right time” to address Civil Rights.
Blacks were urged to be patient, their time would come

 

[rddean]

Hard to imagine it was covered up with nobody held accountable

I’m curious, aren’t Republicans still trying to cover that up which is why they’re against teaching black history today in the United States?

besides, there’s a reason the republican party is 90% white and waves the confederate flag

Ummm.....we kept Tulsa under wraps for 100 years
Now you want to bury it even longer

So now is a good time to further damage race relations leading to deaths of more people. OKAY!

Your attitude is similar to what we saw for 100 years after the end of slavery.
It was never “the right time” to address Civil Rights.
Blacks were urged to be patient, their time would come

That’s absurd. You’re not an honest person.

Who are they seeking reparations from? Why arent they testifying in their local/state court? Are they trying to make me pay for what people did 100 years ago?

I think what Tulsa needs to do for reparations is set aside tax dollars for black business.

Make up for the long term effects of destroying black business in 1921

If you were a black businessman , would you move your operations to Tulsa to take advantage of the reparations offer? If you were a honky businessman in Tulsa- born long after the 1921 riot- would you be pleased with having to pay reparations to continue in business? I don't know what the liberal endgame is- as a honky, I'd be uncomfortable moving there if I was going to be punished for doing so.
