Yet, we’re viewed as the menace to society.

We should never forget it was one of the worst domestic terrorism against the black community in America. White domestic terrorism include in the state and the government against black people. Black Wall Street. 1921.

And people think this kind of deep racial hatred can be done away with over the short course of a single lifetime or with the election of the first black president. When we have black Americans alive right now who lived under Jim Crow, we are NOT a post-racial society.

Never forget. It can happen again. State sponsored domestic terrorism on indigenous American abOriginals aka so-called negroes, inidians, blacks, coloreds was systemic, institutional & ramped. Murderous local police and government planes bombed Tulsa residence from the sky.

The Black Wall Street. Those people in Tulsa couldn't have the hegemony that they clung so hard to proven irrefutably wrong in their own community, so this is how they responded. We need to require Anthropology in high school to teach that the idea of race is a social construct.

Anyone who thinks that This level of atrocity cannot happen again isn't paying attention. This pain must still be felt by the survivors' families even to this day. Your own country and citizens turning on you for simply being you.

Growing up in Tulsa, no one ever talked about this. I had to do my own research to learn about the atrocities that happened.

Things they don’t teach you in the history books

My grandmother survived this event as a little girl. I believe she received some money as restitution at some point.

Then they say black people have no right to say they are disadvantaged.

Horrifying. We never learned about this in US History.
