I'm currently working on a powerful project for black business owners and investors surrounding this legendary event. It is TIME to stand up, create, support, increase and restore black owned businesses and investors for our black people. This needs to be restored, in Jesus' name, amen!
My grandmother Maria Morales Gutierrez Aleman de Resendez--a native of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico and a recent citizen of Texas--moved to Tulsa with her husband Matilde Gutierrez de Cantu in 1921. During the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre while airplanes were shooting machine guns at the scared black crowds in the streets of North Tulsa she scooped up a little Black boy and girl and carried them to safety. An article was written about her memories of this hateful massacre by white Tulsans in "The Eastern Oklahoma Catholic" newspaper circa 1986. She will always be my hero. R.I.P. abuelita. 🌷🌻🌸🌺🌻🌹
It's by design. The designers of the American system want it so. Why will they want you to know when they desire you to be a slave of the system they are running?
Profound. Black history cannot be limited to 1 month in a year; we all need a better understanding of it, it must be integrated into the nation's textbooks. Reparations must happen.
Reparations will divide the country more and while I agree what happened in the past is not defensible, it is not the current generations requirement to pay the bill for past transgressions. The country will never come back together if that route is pursued. There are so very many Americans whose families didn't migrate to America until after the Civil War and had nothing to do with the transgressions of the past, it wouldn't be fair to ask those families to be punished for events they didn't contribute to.
And who is going to pay Reparations? Will people be given genetic test. If you are half black will you just get half? If you are a refugee from Africa will you get 25 percent?
Sometimes I take a walk down to Black Wall Street, or at least the memorial of it. It's incredible how it's been rebuilt, and you can still see old murals from when the town was burnt down.
I think Americans in particular should really take the time to educate their kids on the history of America from all perspectives. Learning about Indian culture to black, Italian etc. This is important in my humble opinion.
I see it as more of a crash course on the issue, I'm sure Forbes know they can't do better than the docs on the topic (one on Netflix) that are coming soon, so this is a quick crash course, also to capitalize on the moment I'm sure
Want to know the part they'll never mention... nearly 40 years after the massacre the government in place was Democrats. It began to change after 67 where Republicans began to make moves in the state and this is across the board. The same Democrats that sponsored Jim Crow and killed Tulsa economically with hate were the same that doubled down on Black Poverty with policies. Don't need to live in Black skin to experience what policies do given I lived in the same communities in Brooklyn NY... nothing has changed....
There is so much to learn about the history of my people. The story of Black Wall street was not simply unfortunate - it was abominable. I can't believe we've been so passive as American Citizens, the Native Americans put up a bigger fight than we ever have
I think, whether you agree on the details or not. It could serve as inspiration to support black owned businesses. We could rebuild something stronger. Something that doesn't have a many restrictions that could stop us from passing on our wealth. Knowledge is power. In this case, knowledge is inspiration. We cant change what happened but we can act to achieve something new.
What policies caused the second devastation for Black Wall Street? Did the government construct a highway to run straight through the community's center? 3:45
The music layer to this is terrible. It takes away from the source's words and fights for the audience's attention. The brain doesn't fully process either. Having a changing b-roll over the interview is enough without taking away the content. Geez. Was the editor just trying to show off instead of import information?
"Black Wall Street" was in every major city during Jim crow. See while "white" business's would not allow "black's" to spend money in their establishments, "Black" business took in capital from everyone, making them wealthy in a very short amount of time. It was said that segregation is one of the worst things to happen to" black" people economicly.
This is the best commentary I’ve heard about black Tulsa and the first time I’ve seen acknowledgement that Black Wall Street was a misnomer. Perhaps it is painful to admit, these were small retail businesses dependent on white suppliers to sell them merchandise to put in their stores. Apparently there were no black owned factories that made the consumer products that these businesses sold or black businesses that mined or produced the raw materials for these products.
In Tulsa, Ok. during the Jim Crow era, this happened. Black owned lawyers, restaurants, dance halls, dentists, and grocery stores. barbers, doctors, ext.... then in 1920.... "the Massacre" happened. Area rebuilt again in1940 just to be devastated again. Ill link a video that explains it better in reply to this comment.
Listen to Mr. Robert F. Smith drop valuable insight with the 2% Solution to Structual Racism. Often I have asked myself how to go about creating a working class structure to increase Black capitalism and in this brief Forbes interview Mr. Smith fills in statistics concerning the deprivation of capital that stems from structural racism. For example, there are 4700 banks in America 21 are Black owned with less than 5 Billion in assets. The total number US Commercial Banks is 20 Trillion in assets. This is eye opening. Mr. Smith points out some of the many challenges in America to Structural Racism and solutions to consider for all levels of income.
Two things: One, "Black Wall Street" is *vastly* overstated, and overrated. There were no giant business concerns there that daily traded in railroads, other heavy-manufacturing, shipping, or global investments. The commentator was correct in suggesting that this small area of Tulsa was more like a simple "Black Main Street". Second, a question. *Why,* in the ensuing decades, wasn't such a bustling, and vibrant area simply *rebuilt;* if not in Tulsa, OK, *somewhere else?*
Maybe because this wasn’t the only black town in America burned down. The kkk tried to scare blacks so a lot of them was afraid of it getting burned down again
Forbes is one of the best realiable source of legit information in all aspects, all your concept was great and It's inspire me to make a great concept in my TH-cam channel. Thank you so much forbes and looking forward to your next videos.
I completely resonated with this entire video! Ever since I was exposed to this knowledge, it lit a spark in my Entrepreneurial Spirit and Mindset. I'd love to sit down and chat to see how we can help each other! Let's connect Mr. Johnson!
It was a tragic time in Oklahoma history and is just now sadly being recognized today , I’ve lived here my whole life didn’t even know this happened lets keep telling the history
Quick question: why is it never mention that Greenwood rebuilt itself without taxpayer money. Was more successful than ever before, and copied the name black Wall Street ( Durham NC) in 1950s? Asking for a friend?
Hey im every-large-corporate-media-company-right-now I normally dgaf about these topics nor do i now. But it's the hot topic de le jour and it'll make me look progressive...
So much for pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.... it's so insulting !! [ yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; the rod and thy staff they comfort me] [ thou prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies thou anointest my head with oil my cup runneth over] [ surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever]
Respectfully why should anyone have to live their wealth In their minds??? This very piece is about folks brave enough to bring what was in their minds into reality so others could share prosper and grow form the example. And that’s what happened. Back then when the physical threat was much greater for people other than white in Tulsa
Does anyone ever wonder where did black businesses purchase the bricks, mortar and lumber to build their stores and the products that they sold in their stores? Where did the black movie theaters get the movies? These are important to explore because the plain truth is, the thriving black retail district in Tulsa also sustained some thriving white suppliers. Thus, it seems those white suppliers were also harmed by the barbaric 1921 destruction of Black Wall Street. Have these suppliers and their heirs ever been interviewed for their thoughts about the destruction. Perhaps they along with other rational minded white people also hated that a large chunk of their city was destroyed over a stupid rumor and having no say in this decision. Also, what did the mayor and have to say about this? -It seems that black Wall Street was destroyed by a rabble racist element. A more intellectual racist element might have chosen to starve black Wall Street by having white suppliers cut off black businesses. Is there any historical record that the latter happened or was attempted even in a limited way?
That was 1980-1990s not 1920s. It was a by-product of the Cold War with black Americans on the frontlines of the financial part indirectly, thanks to their own government. Freeway Ricky Ross (pawn), Pablo Escobar (middle man), C.I.A. (boss)
Support and keep black owned businesses around.
Im definitely on that
As long as you have a business mind i support you
I'm currently working on a powerful project for black business owners and investors surrounding this legendary event. It is TIME to stand up, create, support, increase and restore black owned businesses and investors for our black people. This needs to be restored, in Jesus' name, amen!
The "in Jesus' name" is the most important thing, though. Too many black folks are practicing satanism and reject King Yeshua.
I have been as well. I want to get together with a few black leaders and politic some ideas. If you're interested in networking, please inbox me.

“It’s not necessary a geographic space. It’s a mindset” … train your mind to know that you are worthy of having black economic prosperity 🤑
It’s sad that I was never taught this in school, and only learned about this over the past few weeks.
It's by design. The designers of the American system want it so.
Why will they want you to know when they desire you to be a slave of the system they are running?
For me, I just learnt about this 3-4days ago
smile never to late
because it's fake history the town was never destroyed
They want people to think black Americans cried over slavery and didnt do anything but refuse to mention how many black communities they burned down.
Profound. Black history cannot be limited to 1 month in a year; we all need a better understanding of it, it must be integrated into the nation's textbooks. Reparations must happen.
I agree. I’m taking this time to reflect and do more research on Black history. I feel like the least I can do is educate myself more
Reparations will divide the country more and while I agree what happened in the past is not defensible, it is not the current generations requirement to pay the bill for past transgressions.
The country will never come back together if that route is pursued.

This is why we must build AWAY from our enemies. And never forget what they did to our Ancestors across amerikkka.

There isn't enough time in the school year for such programs.
This is not about Indians. Go where they are. They received reparations. Bye
@emanuelgoldstein1984 No it's about Blacks of The Diaspora. Black Wallstreet was also named Little Africa. Please mind your business. Bye
Little Momma You lack comprehensive skills. At your age lol

Hate that some white people just can’t handle our greatness
I often wonder if Jack Johnson's behavior added to such animosity
That's messed up that They're trying to cover it up

Still to many Democrat KKK members. That's why. And I can't believe the blacks thought they would be safe.
Maybe because this wasn’t the only black town in America burned down. The kkk tried to scare blacks so a lot of them was afraid of it getting burned down again
I'm Hispanic and I just want to shout out to all my colored who told me about this back in 07
Great insight into a phrase/description we have all heard, but did not understand at this level.
blacks looked out for other blacks back then today i dont know

Why can't I share this?
We will be value in a continent that will recognise our value and not by our skin and thats Africa.Enough is enough.
What caused the destruction?
The US Government bombed 💣 it
Sad but true.
White racists attacked their businesses, homes, killed and rampaged. Insurers paid home and business owners nothing.
