My God father was from Black Wall Street, he suffered with alzheimers, but in 2009 at the age of 93, he could still tell you what happened on that day. He may not remember who you were, but he never forgot the planes dropping bombs on them, the killing, and burning of property. He was only 5 years old in 1921 and that trauma stayed with him until the day he died.
God Bless your God father and your family. Even Alzheimer's couldn't erase this from his mind. Just watching the footage sends fear through me. Their terror and suffering is beyond imagination. Even more amazing is who they were. What they built and accomplished surrounded by such danger the whole time is mind-boggling. I am in awe of their strength and determination. You come from great people.
I was born and raised in Tulsa. I was never taught about this in school. We studied the Five Civilized Tribes, but I never knew about this. It’s heartbreaking.
The elites didn’t want us to be taught this in school. I’m only 24. Why weren’t we taught this? Who are these elites hiding this history from us? Who runs google Microsoft dell facebook?
Racist didn't want you to know how bad they treating a human being that God created every human belong to God only they had no legitimate reason to do what they did they broke God law big time God teach us to love one another you can't be loving God and hate your brother because we all got here though Adam and eve that how God brought man kind into existence like or not it was God will we have God word that all wicked one must go into eternal death God always bring about his will let read God word at Isaiah55:11 so my word that goes out of my mouth will be it will not return to me without results but it will certainly accomplish whatever is my delight and it will have sure success in what I send it to do.
It sounds like you trying to say that 1921 wasn't real. Because how is it remotely possible for not to know your state history. Especially when you relatives who survived.
Makes you wonder how they are food they grew, both of my grandparents had gardens were they ate there tomatoes & lettuce & cucumbers..ect from the garden.. we now eat from grocery stores & depend on strangers to clean our food... if we live to 80 with our mind, memory & health..we doing good.

Thanks for providing the historical context and legacy of the Tulsa riots. Hope this story gets told not only in America but internationally. Watching from New Zealand.
@@dushanehines2243 no it does matter because the democrat party today wants you to believe that it was the republicans who were the racist white supremacists of the past, and it’s not true. And that’s why stories like the Tulsa massacre have been suppressed and buried under the rug for decades because it was caused by the democrat party. Trust me if it was caused by the republicans then everybody would’ve known and they would be smearing the Republican Party for it to this day, but they haven’t. And the political party is never discussed when watching these videos about the Tulsa massacre, you know why? Because it was caused by democrats. That’s why they never mention which political party was present and around in Tulsa Oklahoma, because it was mostly democrats.
Absolutely.... veterans getting slaughtered upon returning from war... wanting their money . 💰 🍞... ND justly owed I may add... marched to the swamps... and executed....

I am a white woman who married a wonderful black man and we had 2 beautiful sons. I have made it my duty as a mother to teach my mixed children about their ancestors. From the time that they were little I have taught them. They know their black background,their white background and of their Cherokee backgrounds. Yes, my boys are multiracial and as men they still speak of the history that I and my husband have taught them. They are thriving young men in their society now and when I have grandchildren I will continue to teach them as well.
Most Americans are mixed nowadays, very few totally black people and not 1% full. Blood Indians left. My nephew is a doctor and they adopted three black kids. Their mommas chose him from a list.
this whole thing started with tyrone trying to rape becky, they are always going after other races of women. then a bunch of tyrones started shooting people at the courthouse without provocation, no one ever talks about that. hardley anyone died. and who financed little africa? hint: it wasnt the tyrones.
Lol, perfectly described. And if its not about a "frail Karen" its to "protect the children" or "for the children" -probably the 3 biggest indicators that fraud is somehow being committed by saying its for them, to protect them, when in fact they are using them as hostages to get what they want done.
This isn’t a factual representation of what actually happened. As many whites as blacks were killed it was a fraction of the deaths that they’re reporting. Good try, MSM.
Thank for sharing valuable historical information! My heart aches on the military attack on civilians! I had family members who lived in that area during the time this massacre took place! Praise God the community has been able to rebuild and continues thriving! 💙🙏🏽

KZ: AmeriKKKa, and their Government is guilty, and also all of the other world governments. They have all been confederate to keep the Israelites under their control. But, the God of the Israelites, is standing up to defend, and save His people. Which is not all nations, but Israel has been scattered throughout the nations. The Holy Spirit told me way back in the 1970s that She is going to destroy civilization! I didn't understand that back then. But I see it now! Australia is even now under judgment, in the aboriginals Land Down Under with a Biblical Plague of billions of mice. Bubonic Plague was spread by mice in the 1300 hundreds in Europe. The Angel of Death is here, just like in Ancient Egypt!
It is written: the Gentiles will be judged on how they are treating, or have treated the Israelites! TMH will bless those who bless the Israelites! And He will curse those who curse His people! Genesis 12:3

You should write a small book of the stories they told. Make sure those firsthand accounts live on. Donate them to the local library. Your gma and Denise must have been two wonderful spitfires. Their accounts now live through you and others who read their stories. Take care.
@tron maxx, Have you thought of honoring your Grandmom and Miss Denise in a book retelling the memories that were shared and how they both survived those times?
Thank you for bringing this part of history I was never aware of. Families should be compensate not only by the state but by the nation that permits this type of acts.
This is something that would be hard to forget. My aunt lived to 116. She was mentally sharp even then. But yeah, trauma burns into your brain. I think that's why I find it so infuriating to see people in the comments joking, labeling this as propaganda and trying to equivocate human rights marches with rioting. Karma getting them all would be lovely.
Rosewood 1923 an American tragedy , Clinton massacre 1875 an American tragedy, Ocoee massacre 1920 an American tragedy, Atlanta 1906 an American tragedy Chicago 1919 an American tragedy, New Orleans 1866 an American tragedy....There many, many more American tragedies!
Excellent piece. I appreciated the inclusion of other stories of domestic terrorism against African Americans across the country. We must NEVER stop teaching this history!
@T mac they are the democrat party. Always been the party of slavery! Now they don’t want to enslave African Americans they want to enslave all people! Lyndon Johnson explained this openly
Imagine how many families who were responsible for this, still live there! To think, you could be walking down a sidewalk next to the descendant of someone who murdered your great grandfather/mother, and not even know it. It's sickening!
Then the mayor says he doesn't support monetary reparations but will spend money for statues and such.....all because he doesn't know where the money will come from? LMAOOOOOOO. DEPLORABLE

They did a great job of sweeping this under the rug because many of us have never been taught this in school or ever heard anything about it until recent years. I wonder what else was covered up.
I was born at Hillcrest Hospital in 1961. I lived in Tulsa until I was 36. Growing up, I never was taught about Black Wallstreet and the horrific massacre. I'm disgusted, that schools did not include this as part of Oklahoma history. I hope it is taught now. Everyone needs to know about this.
That’s why Black American (ADOS) people’s music, poetry, dances, style, butts, lips, tanned skin, curly hairs, braids and slang are copied WORLDWIDE! Why the rights to their music was/is stolen, why their uplifting music 🎶 is played SO much when advertising resorts, restaurants clothing, snacks; why their slogans are stolen and why so many are jealous of them. The Tulsa massacre, like the Rosewood massacre, the devil’s punch bowl and other Anti-Black American crimes took place - hatred and EXTREME JEALOUSY. Full stop.
As Einstein said, GREAT spirits always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds. ...a people so great that they rose up from slavery and became more prosperous than their oppressors, had their own EVERYTHING, dressed to the nines, walked tall and proudly, enjoyed their lives TO THE FULLEST w/o other races & hating NO ONE. Talk about a beautiful people. A model indeed COPIED all the time, continuously, by EVERY other race/nationality of people.

The offense is that this continues to be used as a negative in terms of revealing what happened to this community. When you have a city that put a highway right through the middle of this community is still a slap in the face, and there’s nothing that they can say that will change that fact. They claim Urban Renewal which told those victims that they still didn’t matter and will do nothing to return that community back where it belongs. Land grab is only the tip of the iceberg and the total unfairness that still cuts deep. There has to be a change coming.

It's truly ashamed, how every time black people tried to raise themselves up by the boot straps. We were terrorized and destroyed. Leading to the conditions we are in today But it's time the story is being told.
I agree, Bro Gerald. Despite its seminal contributions to America's stealth economics, the noose around the necks of its Native Black American (NBA) community is its economic and political powerlessness, which is ironic. Most don't understand the ways in which race was/is used to perpetuate the worst aspects of American capitalism, nor fathom the utter contempt and violence used to derail every NBA effort at collective self-determination. The Tulsa massacre is one of numerous "wildings" used to make a mockery of its aspirations. Those derailments explain why NBA households headed by college graduates have an average household net worth (AHNW) significantly less than ones helmed by White high school dropouts. And like we did during slavery and segregation, we have individuals who do wonderful things in all human endeavors. While there are more achievers, it's a distinction without much difference, as economists recently warned that given present trends the collective's households will have a zero net worth in a few decades, which is an existential disaster, and not hyperbole. Indeed fifty percent (50%) of NBA households today have reached that mark. Consider it a weather forecast, a perfect storm. Martin Luther King Jr. at the March on Washington for Civil Rights in 1963 mentioned a solution, the (proverbial) "blank check," a moral and ethical imperative to do Restorative Justice. It has been enacted 20 times in America, most recently in 2019. "Now is the time." "It's always the right time to do the right thing." Please help make this a reality.
An excerpt from Dr. Carol Anderson’s book ‘White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide’: “...since 1865 and the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment, every time African Americans have made advances toward full participation in our democracy, white reaction-usually in the courts and legislatures-has fueled a deliberate and relentless rollback of their gains.” They wouldn’t work so hard to keep us down if they weren’t afraid of what would happen when we got up.
I’m a little bit ‘younger’ but the GAP Band told this particular story nearly every time they were asked the origin of their name in the 1970s (Greenwood & Pine Intersection). Certain details may be newly published, but many people knew full well what happened, what happened in multiple settings, multiple incidents (which were all pieces of a whole), to multiple human beings throughput the US, no matter where Nonwhite people went that was reputedly “better.” Life may have improved for some individuals, but collectively, the US has a collective history, shared & unshared. If they can’t tell people what that is, or won’t, then they are admitting that something about it was Incorrect & Incorrectly implemented. I’m sorry if you didn’t know this story, but the entire 20th century is FULL of the same outcomes all over the mainland US, culminating (one could say) in the back-to-back assassinations of the 1960s & 1970s of nearly every prominent person they could hunt down who stood up for this specific group of people in those times, or who was even perceived to be standing up for them. You could also say that these targeted attacks & the fear they resulted in, along with the “Red Scares” & HUAC hearings of the 1950s & the execution of people convicted of “spying,” are what made & continue to make the rhetoric & name-calling used against people who should be considered as “citizens” today (nothing more, nothing less) even possible. LOVE you for acknowledging that you weren’t even told about it! 🌱🌷

Covered up? We've been taught this our entire lives, but history is always written from the perspective of the victor. I'm black and have family who were part of the civil rights movement. My mother was the first black person to be intergrated in white schools in our town. I have a much different perspective of this nation's history than someone who is white and whose family took part in massacres like this. My white friends grew up hearing how black people always attacked or harassed their grandparents. My family would tell me stories about being attacked by white people who would lie and say they were being a nuisance.

@@dushanehines2243 no it does matter because the democrat party today wants you to believe that it was the republicans who were the racist white supremacists of the past, and it’s not true. And that’s why stories like the Tulsa massacre have been suppressed and buried under the rug for decades because it was caused by the democrat party. Trust me if it was caused by the republicans then everybody would’ve known and they would be smearing the Republican Party for it to this day, but they haven’t. And the political party is never discussed when watching these videos about the Tulsa massacre, you know why? Because it was caused by democrats. That’s why they never mention which political party was present and around in Tulsa Oklahoma, because it was mostly democrats.

The American Government participated, protected and stood by all this brutality that was done to black Americans once we were freed from slavery.
KZ: AmeriKKKa, and their Government is guilty, and also all of the other world governments. They have all been confederate to keep the Israelites under their control. But, the God of the Israelites, is standing up to defend, and save His people. Which is not all nations, but Israel has been scattered throughout the nations. The Holy Spirit told me way back in the 1970s that She is going to destroy civilization! I didn't understand that back then. But I see it now! Australia is even now under judgment, in the aboriginals Land Down Under with a Biblical Plague of billions of mice.
Bubonic Plague was spread by mice in the 1300 hundreds in Europe. The Angel of Death is here, just like in Ancient Egypt!
The Government of the USA sanctioned chattel slavery against us. They wrote and enforced those evils just as they are doing today.
Which is why this country WILL BE JUDGED.
@paul lennon I think you best check yourself friend. No hate at all. Just know that God WILL AVENGE ALL INJUSTICES.......GO TO ROMANS 12

Give them their land, business, and wealth back. If they have passed on, give it to their families. This is disgustingly disgraceful.

They claim Urban Renewal which told those victims that they still didn’t matter and will do nothing to return that community back where it belongs. Land grab is only the tip of the iceberg and the total unfairness that still cuts deep. There has to be a change coming.

I agree, Bro Gerald. Despite its seminal contributions to America's stealth economics, the noose around the necks of its Native Black American (NBA) community is its economic and political powerlessness, which is ironic. Most don't understand the ways in which race was/is used to perpetuate the worst aspects of American capitalism, nor fathom the utter contempt and violence used to derail every NBA effort at collective self-determination. The Tulsa massacre is one of numerous "wildings" used to make a mockery of its aspirations. Those derailments explain why NBA households headed by college graduates have an average household net worth (AHNW) significantly less than ones helmed by White high school dropouts. And like we did during slavery and segregation, we have individuals who do wonderful things in all human endeavors. While there are more achievers, it's a distinction without much difference, as economists recently warned that given present trends the collective's households will have a zero net worth in a few decades, which is an existential disaster, and not hyperbole. Indeed fifty percent (50%) of NBA households today have reached that mark. Consider it a weather forecast, a perfect storm. Martin Luther King Jr. at the March on Washington for Civil Rights in 1963 mentioned a solution, the (proverbial) "blank check," a moral and ethical imperative to do Restorative Justice. It has been enacted 20 times in America, most recently in 2019. "Now is the time." "It's always the right time to do the right thing." Please help make this a reality.
An excerpt from Dr. Carol Anderson’s book ‘White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide’: “...since 1865 and the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment, every time African Americans have made advances toward full participation in our democracy, white reaction-usually in the courts and legislatures-has fueled a deliberate and relentless rollback of their gains.”

I’m a little bit ‘younger’ but the GAP Band told this particular story nearly every time they were asked the origin of their name in the 1970s (Greenwood & Pine Intersection). Certain details may be newly published, but many people knew full well what happened, what happened in multiple settings, multiple incidents (which were all pieces of a whole), to multiple human beings throughput the US, no matter where Nonwhite people went that was reputedly “better.”
Life may have improved for some individuals, but collectively, the US has a collective history, shared & unshared. If they can’t tell people what that is, or won’t, then they are admitting that something about it was Incorrect & Incorrectly implemented.
I’m sorry if you didn’t know this story, but the entire 20th century is FULL of the same outcomes all over the mainland US, culminating (one could say) in the back-to-back assassinations of the 1960s & 1970s of nearly every prominent person they could hunt down who stood up for this specific group of people in those times, or who was even perceived to be standing up for them.
You could also say that these targeted attacks & the fear they resulted in, along with the “Red Scares” & HUAC hearings of the 1950s & the execution of people convicted of “spying,” are what made & continue to make the rhetoric & name-calling used against people who should be considered as “citizens” today (nothing more, nothing less) even possible.

It was so refreshing to see thise survivors wow... i would also love to hear from the perpetrators today, i wanna know how they feel to do this, how they feel as human beings about what happened
HATRED and JEALOUSY said at 16:46 from the young lady's mouth indeed played a huge role in the man's business being destroyed. When people do not want to see you with something, or trying to go forward to succeed, they will try their best to DESTROY you in different ways........
This is so foul... As a black person, I will say that we feel grief for and/or share a lot of stories about how others have suffered, but we tend to underplay our experiences. I never heard of Tulsa, but I can write a dissertation on the Holocaust.
do research on what the germans did to the africans in the congo
The African holocaust is the largest loss of human life
@@darkgenix not the Germans, the Belgians.
@@HMJM777 From what I read it says that the white community was just defending itself and a young girl and helping defend the jail house against rioters trying to break someone out of jail. The first man to die that day was an elderly white man. The white community did not fire first.
You don’t feel grief, you don’t feel anything but your subscriber count
Wow , I’m in tears . I’m also thinking about what would be if Tulsa stayed as so. So prosperous, generational wealth, it could of been an entire different day today. 💜

It is about the color of his skin...TOP LYING TO HIM! This is AmeriKKKA!!!!
@@appointedvillainy lol wait, How is that a grave disservice?
@@kericbrown7650 it's a disservice because that is not how the world looks at it. It is about his skin color and she should tell him that so he will not be shocked when it comes about... because it will.
The two survivors 107 and 106 years old OMG How great they look and well spoken at their age is mind blowing! I expect that in Japan, many live there pass 100. I must say I'm surprise too see it here in 🇺🇸! God Bless them Both!!😍😍

This is worth my attention
Tulsa is now excavating an area where mass graves are believed to be in Oakland cemetery..RIP to the victims.
I am so very sorry, hearing stories like this always makes me cry, it hurts deep in my soul and heart! (I am crying as I write this.) I was born in Tulsa in 1957, and I had no idea this ever happened. Why!? I do not care who I offend by saying this but, "when I hear of this kind of hate, cruelty, and disgust, it makes me feel ashamed of being Caucasian"! This horrific hate, cruelty, racism, and injustice, is NEVER EVER okay!!! I pray and hope that every person who has racism and or hate in their soul, is touched by Gods loving hands and taught to STOP!!! PLEASE, JUST STOP THE HATING NOW!!! Why cant we all just show respect, love, empathy. and compassion, to one another? Blessings and hugs to all who have suffered!
Amen!!
@@geraldinegibson8417 amen ra I'm a historian look up the correlation
I believe there should be reparations made
I work with nothing but racist people is so sad!!!!
God bless you
The Mayor of Tulsa ,the city, county and state, should have been doing this. Reimbursement should have been rendered.
Lives lost cannot be REIMBURSED. 21st CENTURY they still killing black peoples. A man was dragged ( tied with a rope behind a pick up truck ) his body parts was found miles away from the place where they started to dragged him .
Those who you speak of were vehemently against doing that. It was the past they said.
These people if given the opportunity to right a wrong. More than likely they would choose to do it again instead of fixing it.
And still No Crime Bill for Us ?
Absolutely unbelievable !
We will never be COMPLETELY AT PEACE with each other....as long as evil exists....
God help us all.
Amen👍🙏
Well it seems evil follows a certain group wherever they go unfortunately for us
Which God are you referring to?

When we talk about systematic racism and generational wealth being robbed this is a perfect example.
I can’t imagine the other things that have been done to all POC that has been covered up.
Exactly…..
It's disgusting
Covered up? We've been taught this our entire lives, but history is always written from the perspective of the victor. I'm black and have family who were part of the civil rights movement. My mother was the first black person to be intergrated in white schools in our town. I have a much different perspective of this nation's history than someone who is white and whose family took part in massacres like this.
My white friends grew up hearing how black people always attacked or harassed their grandparents. My family would tell me stories about being attacked by white people who would lie and say they were being a nuisance.
This country is messed up and nothing will change until people are honest with themselves.
@@rooksdb1 I said what I said, covered up. This was not spoken of in their history either. There was no history about it anywhere, those people were driven out of their homes and the people who did it covered it up in the press. It was hidden from the rest of the world because deep down those people knew what they did to those blacks people was wrong, cold hearted, and cruel. But God sees everything
@@hera7884 my argument was that we've been taught what they did to us, they just told it from their side. You always make yourself the hero of your own story and any bad you did was for the greater good.
It breaks my heart on how many ppl never knew about this horrible massacre! But, happy their descendants can be a voice for Tulsa❤️!
They got no recompense, no restitution, no reparations, and most sadly, NO REVENGE!!😡😤
Wait, the mayor, knowing all that, does not support reparations, because he "can't imagine where the money would come from"? Maybe Tulsa should elect someone with more imagination, then?
I feel the way you feel Mr. Araszkiewicz, there is a reason why this mayor doesn’t want reparations because he knows deep down inside that these people shouldn’t get it but on the outside he is putting on a front!, something is wrong with this picture!!!
@@barbthompson2715 what do you mean they shouldn't get it?? Why shouldn't they get reparations??
@@bettyboopsie9836 She said the mayor doesn't want to give reparations because he feels that it happened so long ago they don't need it now.
@@bettyboopsie9836 if I said that I am so sorry! I meant that I don’t think that the mayor want them to get reparations BUT!, I definitely want them to get their reparations!!
I re-read what I say and I did not mean that they shouldn’t get their reparations, I most definitely DO THINK WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT THEY SHOULD WITHOUT A DOUBT SHOULD GET THEIR REPARATIONS!!!
This is heartbreaking. I never learned this in school, along with many other things. It’s our responsibility to teach our children the truth.
U should watch hidden colors 1 -5 this man got ban from a whole country for making these videos he is one of the reasons why they are talkin about this history even The Gap Band has a song you dropped the bomb on me because they are from the area where they bomb in Oklahoma look up the true meaning of the Gap Band name
Its our responsibility to teach our children love not hate. As a white woman with a biracial child, i never knew the level of hatred my child wd experience, for the color of his skin......its amazing how no one knew much of this story until, now? Id be Classaction lawsuit against Tulsa like woah.

Emily,
There are Many others. Look up Black Massacres. Wilmington, NC, Rosewwod, F for starters. There is a map that shows, where in this country these atrocities took place. Imagine, theses are the ones we know about. SMH
@@etheldadyer-major3759 Jesus Christ?! I am not from the states. I am actually from El Salvador. Central America. 🇸🇻
I am a huge fan of documentaries. The very first time I heard about Emmett Till. I couldn’t believe it. I was in Inglewood, California for the riots. I was too naïve to understand what was going on. And I honestly don’t even know what to think about these events. The hate of these people is incomprehensible.
I haven’t heard about until today myself I’m 42 yrs old
I learned about this 35 years ago. I'm 52 now. This was absolutely heinous, and the survivors should be awarded large settlements though that still won't remove the pain. Sad how black people have to still endure violence against us still to this very day.
"Runing out of town.."...how appropriate to show the level of education and self awareness of the people who did this.
And the African Americans don't deserve reparations? 😒...ABSURD, ABSOLUTELY ABSURD
Never heard about THIS is my public school history class 😭😭😭😭
I can’t believe because of the color of my skin I will be held back not because I’m a bad person but because of the color of my skin this makes me sad
I agree with you. I'm black and I can't have what belongs to me because of my skin. Why am I here😢
THEY ARE QUICK TO SAY PULL YOURSEF UP BY YOUR BOOT STRAP WHEN THEY BURN YOUR BOOTS
They never pulled themselves up. The government gave them money & land
#cutthecheck, reparations for black Americans
Thankfully, we are in a different world now.
When Black people pulled together & build their own everything whites destroyed it out of fear & jealousy ..
@@willcollins1108 - I am white, and I damn sure am not jealous of you people. If I woke up one morning and looked in the mirror and discovered I had an afro and a coal complexion I would cry for days, then shoot myself in the head. Not even joking. I would be absolutely devastated. If whites are so jealous of you? Why do your wealthy basketball men chase after the coveted white woman? You never see rich whites chasing after black women. We know who is jealous of who. Don't even play.
The evil that men do. Wow‼️ Great video❣️
Growing up in Tulsa I never even knew this had happened at all until I got to the age of about 11. Such a shock to figure out such evil could be committed in a town you grew up in.
Boy it’s hard not to have revenge and rage in your heart
a tough listen/watch despite my background as a Spanish American. how can humans do this to other humans!? i’m glad we’re finally talking about this. why is it that society always tells the wronged to “to get over it” and to “just move on” forward? people just don’t get the trauma that comes with having everything you worked for taken away from you by the jealous and envious.
Exactly. Despite its seminal contributions to America's stealth economics, the noose around the necks of its Native Black American (NBA) community is its economic and political powerlessness, which is ironic. Most don't understand the ways in which race is used to perpetuate the worst aspects of American capitalism, nor fathom the utter contempt and violence used to derail every NBA effort at collective self-determination. The Tulsa massacre is one of numerous "wildings" used to make a mockery of its aspirations. Those derailments explains why NBA households headed by college graduates have an average household net worth (AHNW) significantly less than ones helmed by White high school dropouts. And like we did during slavery and segregation, we have individuals who do wonderful things in all human endeavors. While there are more achievers, it's a distinction without much difference, as economists recently warned that given present trends the collective's households will have a zero net worth in a few decades, which is an existential disaster, and not hyperbole. Indeed fifty percent (50%) of NBA households today have reached that mark. Consider it a weather forecast, a perfect storm. Martin Luther King Jr. at the March on Washington for Civil Rights in 1963 mentioned a solution, the (proverbial) "blank check," a moral and ethical imperative to do Restorative Justice. It has been enacted 20 times in America, most recently in 2019. "Now is the time." "It's always the right time to do the right thing." DO THE RIGHT THING, AMERICA. IMMEDIATELY.
they know but don't care
They’re called children of the devil for a reason
White people ain't human
I thought I knew hate, until I saw this ,I am disgusted by this savage and brutality on African Americans, this was a thriving community, there were no shooting or drugs, why would they get jealous of what these people created for themselves, I'm speechless.
Omg... never ever heard of this. That is so sick and such an INJUSTICE..... my god
The National Guard also took part in this act of terror.
Shame on the National Guard!
