100 years?! Lets not be so hasty to make judgements /s

Massa Trump won't take too kindly to this kind of reporting. Makes racist white people feel bad about how black people are treated in America and he won't allow that.

Union members who vote, creates change. To set up a union to organize on this platform, would not be about money or benefits, only about votes. With millions of members, I believe we would gain a seat at the congressional table. Suggestions?

Just as President Biden often said , Unions & Worker Representation is the only road back to a US middle class We can't undo the last 50 yrs , but Worker Rep across all job markets both BC & WC could give workers a chance. Sadly it's the last thing wealthy Oligarcs in the USA want.

The facade of modern Conservatives is a cling to old fashioned values ect.. But in reality it's nothing but a bag of BS. I left the GOP in 07 & everyday I see them further morph into a party which literally hates the Democracy of a Free Republic. Most now idolize Orban or Putin ... SAD

Because Trump made them think that immigrants were the problem. Yes, they hold union jobs and from what I know about the commercial and residential construction industry, they work their asses off. It's not about getting them out of unions, it's about getting rid of unions. Trump/Musk HATE Unions.

You’ll get what you deserve I give no fucks

Unions fuck you the Biden Harris administration were on your side marched with you in Pickett lines you gave them your asses to kiss lets see how you fare under the Elon Trump administration Elon hates unions

See everything going to be alright with no money and nothing to eat

I heard about it because The Game had a record label named The Black Wall Street after the Tulsa Neighborhood and he'd just shout it out in his tracks without context as people do, so I googled it and learned about all the stuff

Blame the NYTs.

One of many.

Had to find this out from a movie not a history book how backward is that.

Or as Republicans and NYT editors call it: the good old days.

It took an HBO program to bring this to light. White washing history.

1921: Tulsa Massacre destroys Black Wall Street, killing hundreds. 1934: FHA redlining denies Black families mortgages, enforcing segregation. 1940s-70s: Urban renewal projects displace Black communities. 1950s-60s: Rent-to-own schemes exploit Black families with eviction risks.

1968: Fair Housing Act bans housing discrimination but segregation persists. 1980s-2000s: Mass incarceration devastates Black families via systemic policies. 2025: DOJ report labels Tulsa Massacre a coordinated attack and systemic injustice

Ethnic Cleansing.

The sad part is the descendants of the victims will NEVER receive compensation for the loss of life, lifestyle, property, possessions, businesses, and generational wealth lost/stolen that day.

They really tried to hide this from us. Not once did I learn about this in school

Where are the reparations?

A lot of Americans look at things like the attempted genocide against Tutsis in Rwanda or progroms against Jews in Europe, or ethnic minorities in China as something that happens 'over there'. But we ignore our own sins to conform with the idea that we are better.

Voice to text: capitalize Black and change residence to residents *

Just like January 6th

Gee. Surprise. Ugh.

😢

It was "military-style" because an entire generation of white Americans returned from WW1 remembering all the town-clearing tactics they learned in Europe.

While the times applaud the massacre in Gaza, they published thus to balance themselves out 🤣

It's not only Oklahoma

📌

A sad, long-belated Truth 🇺🇸

Gaza

Fair and in fact in this latest lawsuit, plaintiffs’ counsel kept arguing that defendants (the city and other govt entities) were purposefully delaying proceedings hoping the survivors would die. One did actually, last year I think. One is now 110 and I believe the third is around 107.

yes, you just exactly identified the cause, issue and horror of the present moment, and good people have been pointing this out for years

It would in this backass education system.

Or would it teach them a better way of doing it again. I agree it should be taught not erased like they tried to do!!!

Oklahoma thinks everything about race is CRT. Walters is a self proclaimed Christian Nationalist. It’s terrifying.

To give you a guestimate, 1 million people died under his watch from 2016 to 2020 thanks to covid

Yes! It’s WOKE

Need to know.

They wont rewrite history, as long as we continue to spread the word. And share the history! 👍🤷‍♀️🥴

we were just minding OUR business😑

📌

Right? Between History & Political Science, you would have thought I would have received at least a mention.

Did not watch the Watchmen Series, believe I heard about it on Twitter, then there was a kick ass article in "The Smithsonian Magazine"...

That's how millions learned about it. (including me)

Amazing we as a country dilute & minimize our historical violence towards minorities.. not only about an event such as this, but am reminded the way we learned about Native Americans,were never taught about the violence towards them either. Is violence ingrained in our psyche/culture..

Was 8 when Emmit Till was hung, I remember it in the context of the Civil Rights movement, there was so much violence towards blacks that was minimized/condoned. The Girls in the Birmingham Bombing is forever etched in my brain, the violence on Pettus Bridge & bombing of the bus in Anniston Ga.

That is gross, all we did was give money for pagan babies in Africa in Catholic Grammar & HS...

Same. I was in grad school when I finally hear anything about it.

Let's meet in the middle, it's possible my curriculum in Northeast PA included it but that much the country does not include it.

Agreed on both counts

Same

We should not let Americans forget this horror.

2. BC Franklin, 1 of the Black attorneys representing survivors sued & got the ordinance reversed. This pic taken June 6, 1921. Franklin & his law partner, IH Spears, w fam friend helping out, set up a law office in a Red Cross tent. Their office was destroyed. images.app.goo.gl/GcSgzEfVjCPU...

It's important to get corrected history - real history - out there.

Because white men (and their women) could not abide black people having any semblance of any kind of wealth.

But will this make it into history books - primarily in OK and TX schools?

I agree. Its a cold world. But pls see missing white woman syndrome. Race does matters less today; the divider being money and class. Capitalism ruins everything (and pls. No trolls. I am not advocating for a diff system bc I dont know which men wouldnt ruin). Again, hope you find peace.

It re-infuriates me every time I hear about this and realize that I had never heard of it until I was 58 years old. A major coverup by White America. I’ve learned about many more atrocities since then directed at non-white Americans and they all infuriate me. Woke as fuck and PROUD of it.

The surprise would be if this attack wasn’t coordinated.

Dirty little secret.

Trump's GOP are white supremacists. They believe women only exist for male pleasure & reproduction.They fear non-standard gender identity & sexual orientation. They blame immigrants, POC, trans, gays & all minorities for GOP failures. Like the NAZIs they co-opted religion to push their agenda.

You know, this really wasn't that long ago. It took place 15 years before my parents were born. We, here and now, should still feel the shame of this.

This was an absolute disgrace.

Well, no shit Sherlock. Like we needed an “official” account to figure this out.

I wouldn't trust NYT not participate in the cover-up if it happened nowadays

I had only recently discovered Greenwood in Denis Lehane's novel, The Given Day. A great novel. This was Greenwood in about 1917. I had no idea about the later massacre. Devastating. American history is very dark.

😯

No kidding.

I'm not surprised in the least. That time of the century was a real challenge for black people just to make it though the day.

And people doubt any reasoning behind reparations!!JFC. And this is one single incident. Don’t get me started.

I love my hometown but….

Atrocities are glossed over like an amnesia trance.

The Justice Department must have an incredible backlog of reports to issue.

If you want a book about this from the Wilmington Public Library, you'll have to ask the librarian for it. They keep books about this subject in a locked room.

Is still targeting black people.

Sure it was spoon fed as kids and ingrained. It’s incredible to me that they were in use for so long.

I can't wrap my head around it. The impulse to avoid and hide instead of face and deal leads to so much additional suffering.

Bit like Jan6 then?

They came at these people of colour first, with lying ignorance and vitriolic hate (injustice anywhere). Entitled, proud and emboldened by their actions which went unpunished, they festered, reproduced and grew. Now this home gown ignorance is coming after “all” of us (injustice everywhere).

Absolutely disgusting!

“In addition, if modern interpretations of civil rights laws were in effect in 1921, police officers, public officials and any who acted in concert with such persons could have been prosecuted for willfully violating the civil rights of massacre victims.”

They’re from Kansas City and Dallas. Weren’t from Tulsa, so no. Also, it just wasn’t talked about anywhere.

Sadly
