The Wealth was real --temporarily. These blacks were freed slaves of the INDIANS (oh shock--the indians had slaves) ...and the federal government insisted that the indians give the former indian slaves part of their lands (14% of the supposed indians were actually black at the time--remember I keep telling everyone that Indians on the reservations arent always really indians---and that the reservations are awful crime infested cesspools)---turns out that the lands had oil on them. Following years of mismangement by people who often had to have people assigned to manage their money for them---they went broke --shock. Then the Great Depression of 1929..That's because you didn't want to look. You want to run with that blacks have never done anything narrative. The wealth was real, you need to do the research if you don't believe what you're being told. We should not have to do the research for you.You all act as if there is no evidence or written accounting of what transpired. There were insurance records of claims filed if nothing else and even though you may just be hearing about this, some of us have known about this event and have been researching it for close to a decade or more.America has a history of teaching fake news. That's why you can't face the truth of Tulsa.In your mind, what do the events in Chicago has to do with the OP?RoshawnMarkwees said:And the total number of human remains uncovered will be fewer than a month of dead blacks in Chicago today.
On 60 Minutes tonight they ran a segment on the Tulsa race riots and as horrified as I was when I first heard about this incident, hearing about it again tonight was barely more than I could stand.
Sixty minutes has a history of presenting fake news...........
all conjecture aka propaganda...no evidence or proof of any sort that planes dropped bombs on greenwood aka niggha town as it was called back then.There had previously been mention of the mob using airplanes to firebomb the town below but the news story provides details. They allegedly were dropping "turpentine balls" from the planes to set the community ablaze. I guess turpentine balls are similar to molotov cocktails.
On June 1st, 100 years after the riot, the task will begin of digging up the sites which are believed to be mass graves and attempt the long and tedious work of identifying the remains.
Greenwood, 1921: One of the worst race massacres in American history
Robert Turner: The first time in American history that airplanes were used to terrorize America was not in 9/11, was not at Pearl Harbor, it was right here in the Greenwood District.
Reverend Robert Turner's Vernon AME Church was among at least five churches burned, along with 1,200 homes. A photo was crudely and imperfectly, hand-lettered, at the time, "running the Negro out of Tulsa."

Oklahoma Historical Society
Robert Turner: 36-odd square blocks, city blocks, were destroyed. And before they destroyed it, they looted. They took nice furniture, money
When the Black hospital burned, White hospitals refused to take Greenwood's wounded. Those who bled to death included Greenwood's most prominent surgeon. Ultimately, one hospital did make space in its basement for Black casualties. The number of dead is estimated between 150 and 300. Survivors included 10,000 now homeless African Americans. 6,000 of them were herded into internment camps and then released weeks later.
There a few reports the planes were used by authorities for survellance....still no proof though.
It would have been the height of insanity to light a molotov cocktail in a plane....could have set it on fire....and even if some crazy sort actually did it....the flame would have blown out before it reached the ground.....thus all this speculation is just attempting to inflame the situation.....no pun intended. hehheh
The problem with attempting to ferret out the truth is that all the witnesses are dead......just another reason for the Statute of Limitations......what we are seeing in these reports on the tulsa incident is a lot of speculation and here say not to mention lively imaginations.....aka oh dat black boy just tripped and fell on the girl and she screamed.....based on what? Certainly no facts or witness testimony confirms that....just wild and desperate attempts to make excuses for dat black boy. You know it.
I have absolutely no confidence at all in your ability to consume information, discern fact from fiction and then derive the correct conclusion. Part of that is due to the fact that you all watched the exact same things on T.V. as all of the rest of us regarding the events on January 6th at the Capitol which only transpired not even 5 months ago yet you fabricate false narratives that directly contradict what can be seen and heard in the 6 hours or so of video footage from that day. Then you turn around and try to challenge our documentation and reports on the massacre events when we've been researching them for years longer than any of you.
All you all do is dispute what we write, you never counter it with evidence of your own that contradicts what we've claimed. That's the least that I would expect from someone who wants their perspective or point of view to be taken seriously. Perhaps I've just been giving you too much credit.
When you make a claim it is up to you to prove it...aka you claimed a black hospital was burned down....what proof do you have?
I have never even heard of a black hospital not saying there was not but no proof I have seen there was one there.
Also....we hear these constant references to greenwood being a wealthy town aka the black wall st. ....what was the source of that wealth?
Now there were some Indian Tribea in oklahoma that were very rich as oil was found on their reservation but I have never heard of any blacks in oklahoma that discovered oil....perhaps i am mistaken....but I would like to see some information regarding this supposed black wealth in greenwood, Oklahoma.
