the riot started when blacks showed up at the court house where they had heard a mob of whites had lynched a black prisoner. there had been no lynching but they had killed 10 whites when the whites started retaliating. if the blacks want to survive the coming civil war they had better choose wisely what side they will be on. the side that has guns or the side that doesn't know what bathroom to use.
1. This was a set up from the start. They used the arrest and beaten of this young black boy who was lied on for a purpose to start this war on their neighborhood. 2. They were provoked by mfs throwing things hitting people and taunting. You mean to tell me black people went to a jail and just opened fire when they know they had something to lose? Just like the group MOVE this was a terrorist attack bombs was dropped within 20 mins you tell me if this shit wasn't a plot

@Cedric Norman The twin towers were attacked. Not bombed. The twin towers were attacked by foreign nationals. African Americans in Black Wall Street were bombed by their own countrymen. Nowhere NEAR the same.
And it certainly isn't the first one. Consider we were never taught in ANY schools nor universities not any Ivy league either. That the largest most outrageous holocaust of 100 millions of Aboriginals and Asian indians & Mexicans of the Americas were massacred & killed by disease by the Columbus & colonists. We are living on top of their graves of 400 + years.

"Pull yourself up by your bootstraps..." they say..."Everybody has the same opportunities...." they say. Bullsht!!! These people were taking care of themselves and doing nothing wrong. The mob couldn't let them live in peace.
It was the TULSA RACE MASSACRE (NOT “riot”). When it is mentioned, just like here, it is given the false label of “riot” - implying that, somehow, the Black community of Greenwood was complicit in the attack.
they way I look at it is the US government owes the black people of Tulsa in today's dollars around 20 billion dollars not only for the destruction cost and replacement cost also for future earnings. They killed men women and children. This prevented the commerce that started and pushed blacks so far behind that they never recovered. Soldiers who are praised today were killed in the riots Oh we honor our men and women in uniform. How many other blacks would have benefited from seeing what was possible?
I think they should also teach the major accomplishments that black folks contributed to this country and believe me there were many. Google it so many things we use today can be attributed to black inventors.. it is absolutely amazing..

I knew about this from reports of a nun with a group of her students comming back to the school with a group of students when they were on a trolley that ran between the court house and the area where this started. I heard of her becoming frightened after hearing the first gun shots ring out and having to duct down because of gun fire with her students . She described as terrifying. No one was hurt who was on the trolley . My father was a teen age boy 17 years of age living in Joplin he and a couple of his buddies came down to Tulsa in a quest to see what had happened. He reported that every thing was destroyed and he saw pick-up trucks filled with bodies being removed while the was still seeing smoke rising from the bombed out homes and buildings . In his words it was horrible . The story he told us was a white woman got on an elevator in the court house accused a black man of touching her in the elevator and it was later discovered to be a lie .The north side never grew back to its former self .

She told us Greenwood was not called "Black Wall Street" until after the massacre when everyone pulled together to rebuild and come back stronger than ever.

Thus, the massacre took place on two Indian reservations that still exist and have never been disestablished by Congress. They just were not going to be kept down. They were determined not to give up. So they rebuilt Greenwood and it was just wonderful.

You honestly bought that racist civilian farmers were firebombing, from planes, with efficacy, in 1921, Tulsa. Are you really that delusional? They weren't even ubiquitous in full blown state backed wars yet. lol. my sides.
Story was never mentioned in my Oklahoma history books when I was school. My grandmother told me about it. And when I went back to school and asked my history teacher if she heard about it. She told me the story was mostly false.
My grandfather survived this riot. he did an interview about it fora newspaper in Detroit. Luckily we scrapbooked a copy of the interview here’s a link to it.. m.imgur.com/a/VSru09w
Was your Grandfather part of the large group of armed black men that went into the neighboring community and confronted the sheriff and locals, resulting in the gun battle and the pursuit of the armed assailants back to Greenwood, which then escalated into this battle?
3 C That wasn’t a response to you. It was a response to an earlier comment I didn’t see until you commented. But Yes! It’s a shame they don’t teach this in schools thank god my grandfather made it a point to teach his children & us grandchildren that were alive to meet him the history from which we came. That’s why I try to share his article as often as possible so that others can get a first hand account of the turmoil our people endured
1966johnnywayne No my grandfather was only 6 at the time. His uncle was tho him his wife & their 10 yr old daughter were all casualties to this violence. They now lie in an unmarked mass grave that hasn’t been located yet. Our family has helped donate to the search over the years. Bc my grandfathers only wish most of his life was to give them a proper burial
Once You understand what America is & you understand that they brought us here to work for free‼️ you’ll understand why you and everyone who looks like you is the way they are ☀️
It's important to remember that verbiage changes, but the story itself is still the same. It's unfortunate that this video includes Mehrsa Baradaran, an accomplished author, reporting incorrect information (that D. Rowland whistled at or spoke to Sarah Page and that "SHE was arrested). This history is significant enough to get it right.
This was a war declare on black wall street not a riot or massacre and this is why blackfolks must stay armed and trainned for anything and we must protect our 2nd ammendment rights forever because this is a listen that we must always protect ourselves
When I learned of this in the '70's me and my friends was mad. It could happen again today if some racist white folks thought they could get away with it! What I would like to see are more stories on other black "wall streets " that were unjustly burned, looted, etc. Because there were more besides Tulsa. These stories need to be told to further educate our young people today!

Now I know why the United States FED reserve has collaborated with the Wall Street cowgirls against me in the stockmarket daily. It all makes sense now I'm a true descendant of Black Wall Street being oppressed by American aristocrats.

Those racist mobsters were jealous of the blacks that were thriving in Tulsa at the time.. This was shameful of them too. Some of the blacks even served in WW1 and helped out a racist society which never saw blacks as equal in the first place..
At one time the Black communities owned businesses. Economic security programs helped families meet basic needs & improve their lives, but design features influenced by anti-Black racism and sexism have created an inadequate system of support that particularly harms BlACK families. The nation’s primary program, providing cash assistance when parents are out of work or have very low income, is perhaps the clearest example of a program whose history is steeped in RACIST ideas and policies, that strip Blacks of their dignity. The Democrate party, then and now send a check and keep the businesses closed, bring in forighners and give them business loans, never any help for these people to start using there business abilities. I will NEVER vote for the Dem politicians. President Regan educated me. I am now a conversitive. You should be too.
The unbiased account is that an entire black community was burned to the ground and bombed from air by planes. That happened. So you're "what about"-ism stops there. Remember that.

They only like to teach white history in school. I don’t remember being taught about Native American code talkers for war world 1&2, and the trail of tears. They leave a lot of shit out.
You should look up Bass Reeves, one of the greatest lawmen during the lawless days of the wild west and when Oklahoma was Indian territory. A real hard and honest man that kept that dangerous area as civilized and lawful as possible but was insensitivitely disregarded when Oklahoma became a state and legalized segregation.
We could have created this multiple times after but your oppressor sees more value in selling the illusion of freedom instead of letting the black man be free to prosper. If you think that is new then check the stories of father Abraham and his sun Issac.
I knew aliitte about it. My grandmother died 3 years ago. She was 103 years old. Told her grandkids me alttle about it. But ask us not to talk about it. From Tulsa Born here. This was really sad. Black lives have never gotten their 40 acres and a mule.
Have your people ever been publicly hung from trees? Have your people ever worked for for centuries for free? Were babies cut out the bellies of the women in your culture? Did your people suffer 466 years of racism and economic rape? Are your people being shot down by cops and the cops walk scott free?
@@rl2769 It's not about being enemies, it's about blks getting compensation for the economic rape we are suffering from all the blood sweat tears and free labor. There is a debt owed to us. 6.2 quadtrillion is owed to 41 million blk Americans.
Segregation was never the issue. It was the intolerance towards Black Americans and the tendency to commit violence against them that results from legal segregation that was the the problem.
Justice AND forgiveness stand shoulder to shoulder. Justice demands reparations for this awful massacre. Forgiveness is the letting go of persistent ill will with its revenge, retaliation and retribution fantasies. Dr. Robert Enright’s “Forgiveness is a Choice” is the gold standard of evidence-based forgiveness practice. He’s also on TH-cam. Let’s move forward in 2021.

Thus, the massacre took place on two Indian reservations that still exist and have never been disestablished by Congress.
They just were not going to be kept down. They were determined not to give up. So they rebuilt Greenwood and it was just wonderful. It became known as The Black Wall Street of America."
- Eunice Jackson
"The North Tulsa after the riot was even more impressive than before the riot. That is when Greenwood became known as 'The Black Wall Street of America.'"

Pity that Greenwood didn't have its own air force to fight those KKK down.
You honestly bought that racist civilian farmers were firebombing, from planes, with efficacy, in 1921, Tulsa. Are you really that delusional? They weren't even ubiquitous in full blown state backed wars yet. lol. my sides.
Story was never mentioned in my Oklahoma history books when I was school. My grandmother told me about it. And when I went back to school and asked my history teacher if she heard about it. She told me the story was mostly false.
My grandfather survived this riot. he did an interview about it fora newspaper in Detroit. Luckily we scrapbooked a copy of the interview here’s a link to it.. m.imgur.com/a/VSru09w
How about you interview white people ? , and what about that white underage girl which was assoulted in an elevator ?,
Was your Grandfather part of the large group of armed black men that went into the neighboring community and confronted the sheriff and locals, resulting in the gun battle and the pursuit of the armed assailants back to Greenwood, which then escalated into this battle?
C- That’s the thing SHE WASNT! Said so herself. This was nothing more than an excuse to destroy what was built by black people.
3 C That wasn’t a response to you. It was a response to an earlier comment I didn’t see until you commented. But Yes! It’s a shame they don’t teach this in schools thank god my grandfather made it a point to teach his children & us grandchildren that were alive to meet him the history from which we came. That’s why I try to share his article as often as possible so that others can get a first hand account of the turmoil our people endured
1966johnnywayne No my grandfather was only 6 at the time. His uncle was tho him his wife & their 10 yr old daughter were all casualties to this violence. They now lie in an unmarked mass grave that hasn’t been located yet. Our family has helped donate to the search over the years. Bc my grandfathers only wish most of his life was to give them a proper burial
Once You understand what America is & you understand that they brought us here to work for free‼️ you’ll understand why you and everyone who looks like you is the way they are ☀️
It's important to remember that verbiage changes, but the story itself is still the same. It's unfortunate that this video includes Mehrsa Baradaran, an accomplished author, reporting incorrect information (that D. Rowland whistled at or spoke to Sarah Page and that "SHE was arrested). This history is significant enough to get it right.
This was a war declare on black wall street not a riot or massacre and this is why blackfolks must stay armed and trainned for anything and we must protect our 2nd ammendment rights forever because this is a listen that we must always protect ourselves
When I learned of this in the '70's me and my friends was mad. It could happen again today if some racist white folks thought they could get away with it! What I would like to see are more stories on other black "wall streets " that were unjustly burned, looted, etc. Because there were more besides Tulsa. These stories need to be told to further educate our young people today!
Right u are
Yes these incidents happened all over American against the black communities.
It will happen.. Ron Desantis will make sure of it
"... the Dollar would stay in that community for three to five years before leaving..."
Two thumbs up, Tusla Oklahoma, place of the Black Wallstreet Massacre, it's where I'm from and how I come. Now I know why the United States FED reserve has collaborated with the Wall Street cowgirls against me in the stockmarket daily. It all makes sense now I'm a true descendant of Black Wall Street being oppressed by American aristocrats.
The u.s. stock market is down because they don't want to see one black man OG Reggie B win at the game. Now go figure that you don't have to take my word for it, ask somebody in the know. I,m Currently in the stock TQQQ at $70.00 keep an eye on that number and see how long it takes to get back there. I've been in it since 01/01/2022
Racism is Very much alive and active in America's stockmarket, therefore my brothers and sisters of colors and different nations beware.
For sure when it comes to redline zoning and genderfication
Those racist mobsters were jealous of the blacks that were thriving in Tulsa at the time.. This was shameful of them too. Some of the blacks even served in WW1 and helped out a racist society which never saw blacks as equal in the first place..
How frightening! Where would you go?
Then they’ll tell you to stop being lazy and stop being a victim.
Still. Continues and it’s 2023
That's really sad
They completely leave the fact that a DEMOCRATIC Governor is who enacted Martial Law. Controlled Narrative
I am so sorry!
At one time the Black communities owned businesses. Economic security programs helped families meet basic needs & improve their lives, but design features influenced by anti-Black racism and sexism have created an inadequate system of support that particularly harms BlACK families. The nation’s primary program, providing cash assistance when parents are out of work or have very low income, is perhaps the clearest example of a program whose history is steeped in RACIST ideas and policies, that strip Blacks of their dignity. The Democrate party, then and now send a check and keep the businesses closed, bring in forighners and give them business loans, never any help for these people to start using there business abilities. I will NEVER vote for the Dem politicians. President Regan educated me. I am now a conversitive. You should be too.
Why would they take her to jail? You know that wasn't true, they are always trying to cover things up.
What Is Tulsa Spelled Backwards ??
is that Dr. Maya Angelou's voice? I know her voice anywhere
Think positive yaw. Dont grief on what happen. Let's do it again
What about la being burnt ..believe that was more damage
Starting to think there isn't an unbiased account of what actually happened. One thing is certain, there is more to the story.
The unbiased account is that an entire black community was burned to the ground and bombed from air by planes. That happened. So you're "what about"-ism stops there. Remember that.
There is no place for race division in our world. We are all of the same race.. human. We merely have different flavours. 🕊️

Watching this after watching the 1st episode of Watchmen and during the George Floyd unrest. I thought the Tulsa massacre scene was made up for the show. Unbelievable!
They only like to teach white history in school. I don’t remember being taught about Native American code talkers for war world 1&2, and the trail of tears. They leave a lot of shit out.
Ah yes, I too ingest my history through racially motivated, fake hollywood tv shows.
You should look up Bass Reeves, one of the greatest lawmen during the lawless days of the wild west and when Oklahoma was Indian territory.
A real hard and honest man that kept that dangerous area as civilized and lawful as possible but was insensitivitely disregarded when Oklahoma became a state and legalized segregation.
This is the most sad thing 😢 ever
This is how they destroyed all the black ancient civilisations which lie in ruins
Massacre, not RIOT. Riot was used, so the insurance companies wouldnt have to pay for damage. (small print)
It started out as race riot in front of the court house where 10 white people were killed, funny how they left that out.
@@darrenscott6982 this is the problem with America. The lies.
That's the misinformation that people come up with. You keep believing that theory Sir
We could have created this multiple times after but your oppressor sees more value in selling the illusion of freedom instead of letting the black man be free to prosper. If you think that is new then check the stories of father Abraham and his sun Issac.
I knew aliitte about it. My grandmother died 3 years ago. She was 103 years old. Told her grandkids me alttle about it. But ask us not to talk about it. From Tulsa Born here. This was really sad. Black lives have never gotten their 40 acres and a mule.
Why can’t we all just get along??
Have your people ever been publicly hung from trees? Have your people ever worked for for centuries for free? Were babies cut out the bellies of the women in your culture? Did your people suffer 466 years of racism and economic rape? Are your people being shot down by cops and the cops walk scott free?
@@kekacollins3853 can’t change the past but we can improve the future.
What happened hundreds of years ago is no reason to be sworn enemies.
@@rl2769 It's not about being enemies, it's about blks getting compensation for the economic rape we are suffering from all the blood sweat tears and free labor. There is a debt owed to us. 6.2 quadtrillion is owed to 41 million blk Americans.
@@kekacollins3853 I disagree because we all have the same opportunities in this day and age.
@@rl2769 being blk is like playing monopoly with no start-up money. Plus you all got a 466 year head start.
Segregation wasn’t a bad thing, Greenwood was proof of this
Segregation was never the issue. It was the intolerance towards Black Americans and the tendency to commit violence against them that results from legal segregation that was the the problem.
JEALOUS!
918 stand up! we still here from tha Northside, 56st & up to tha South now west, & east!!
Rebuild it.
But why don’t you tell them why the riots started
And the white man wanted in😡
K - College in Oklahoma and this was never mentioned.
No involvement of police or military. TH-cam APROVED version.
The $1 would stay in the Community 3-5 years!
god i am so sorry this history even exists... i wish we could go back to when things were balanced and healthy. i am so sad.
Going back? When was that exactly?
You are confused!
Hmm.. the only time things were "balanced and healthy" is before humans walked this Earth...
@@Luskiano ....Fa'real !!
Justice AND forgiveness stand shoulder to shoulder. Justice demands reparations for this awful massacre. Forgiveness is the letting go of persistent ill will with its revenge, retaliation and retribution fantasies. Dr. Robert Enright’s “Forgiveness is a Choice” is the gold standard of evidence-based forgiveness practice. He’s also on TH-cam. Let’s move forward in 2021.
WE CAN DO IT AGAIN 💪 💪 💪.
Anyone else wondering if this was about the oil in Tulsa ?
And FBA were the first to volenteer and assist in fighting every war they encountered.
so what happened to the white girl that said she was attacked by the Black man
Turns out her and Dick Rolling were in a relationship.
It was not about a black boy whistling in an elevator black boy trip coming into the elevator and he write grab onto the white lady's arm get some support has she stopped She took it as an attack on her that's what started the riot the trip invite grab the ladies arm
Fix your grammar, I can’t read this
Regardless of what you want to call it, IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED.
Here I stand 2020✊🏾🖤✊🏾🖤✊🏾🖤✊🏾🖤✊🏾
ACQUANITA THOMAS yea because burning down innocent people’s business down is justice 🙄 yea the cop deserves to be but in prison for the rest of his miserable life but this is just too far
Deep/SMH!
That boy didn't whistle at that women that was a lie just to get some shit started
If black wall street were still here. There business would be in the billions and they will have their own stock trade
Oh my Lord... Did not know about this... School system sucks here in America. *Sigh* what a great mess we have left ourselves with as the human race... and the animosity between races within our country is brewing yet again. Have we learned nothing?
The West this was the segregated Jim Crow South.
