Bailey, would you be willing to do any mystery involving native American women that come up missing? No one helps us. When a woman comes up missing, there isnt any help from anyone outside of the reservations. It's really sad, and I don't think anyone knows these women go unreported. I think it would be great if it was talked about. Many story's are sooo interesting and just strange. ❤️
As an Australian, I feel like everyone focuses on the issues between black and white in America and rarely mention the massacres of indigenous americans. I hope Bailey covers some stories that raise awareness of what is happening in your communities, I have seen a Canadian story regarding the missing indigenous women, but nothing in the USA.
@@samalamadingdong1317 Black activists often include native experiences in their activism. At least that's my experience as an American who follows these movements closely. It's the media coverage of the activism that gets it wrong imo.
Bailey, as a Black Woman, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm from the south and graduated in 2017, THIS WAS NEVER TAUGHT or EVEN SPOKEN OF. Thank you for using your platform wisely in general, but especially during this time. Congratulations on 1M subscribers as well, you're doing great things and educating along the way. Please try to continue shedding light on the "whitewashed" and hidden stories of my people and my community. Thank you again! 🖤🌻
I actually learned about it just not in history class, then again I went to a high school that majority was minority. I had a native American teacher in English/ reading class. Extra credits on essays on books that where banned.
im from Canada and its sad to say that I learned about this story before most of my relatives in the us. who tried to dismiss this by saying- it was never taught so it must not be real.
I'm horrified that I've never heard of this horrible tragedy; my school taught us about the Civil Rights Movement during the 1960s, but the horrible events that they told us about were nothing compared to just this one story. Really makes you wonder how many other horrible events they're trying to hide the existence of.
As a black woman from Alabama, I got emotional when u mentioned black men fighting a war for a country that didn’t even view them as human! To think of my grandfather being FORCED to fight for ppl that wouldn’t spit on him if he was on fire, just makes me realize how much resilience and power the black community possesses!
I know it wasn't my fault but I feel ashamed for all of the wrongs that have been visited upon other cultures by my own. I find it incredible that I my black friends can see past the colour of my skin.
the fact that someone is finally talking about this part of history is honestly refreshing. it's a tragedy but it has to be discussed. Thank you, Bailey
We just watched this in my African American history class, and my teacher told me that this video is one of the best educational videos on this topic he’s ever seen
I’m so proud she hit 1M. She soooo deserves it. And when she was talking about how when she was young she never felt like she had a place, she has a place now and she matters to so many people. Ugh I love and support you Bailey!💕
YEEEES :) ❤️ I really don't like many You Tubers and don't enjoy watching any BESIDE Baileys Channel. She has such a funny and unique personality, just love her and I also like her subscriber, you don't see often such a chill and cool commentary section like hers!!!
Yep, I've lived in Oklahoma almost 40 years (born and raised) and I never heard about this until I was about 20 years old. It wasn't in any of our history books and I went to a black majority school (~ 98%). So it's even more surprising this wasn't mentioned.
As a black girl who lived in Tulsa and my family was involved in this massacre I appreciate it so much. More ppl need to know what happened that horrible day. Your the best, I also live down the street from where it happens
When Turkey committed Genocide against the Armenians (my ancestors) in 1915, photos were taken and survivor stories were told. But to this day Turkey denies the genocide aggressively. But our polititians have to be careful and not mention it since Turkey is an ally.
We live in a tiny village in England, EVERYTHING of historical interest to this area is taught in local schools! I went to school in the 80’s & I was taught about slavery in the americas, MLK junior, black “Wall Street” etc. Why isn’t this taught in schools?? History was brutal & cruel. If we don’t teach we don’t learn how far we’ve come & how far we have to go?!!?
@@cynzbad63 I’m stunned that the “Left wing socialist” channel, ‘The Young Turks’ chose that name!! One of their members says that she is “proud of (her) Armenian heritage”…😳🤯 STUNNED!! 😳🤯
As a black woman I thank you for bringing this to literally 1 million people(congrats btw!) It’s such a shame America’s real history isn’t taught in schools
I'm hoping we can change that in the near future. People need to continue to open their eyes and see that injustices are still happening to this day and put and end to it right now. 💜💜💜 all humans deserve to be treated equally
No instead they would rather teach things like Christopher Columbus discovered America! The whole idea is to steal what they want from other ethnicities! I would say races but in all honesty there is one race the human race there are just different ethnicities the whole race chart was made up by a German Doctor Who was studying the skulls of human beings! And this was done to segregate people to make the white man feel Superior! Just the same way they whitewashed Christianity! To disguise the fact that Adam and Eve we're really black! And to disguise the fact that Yeshua hamashiach also known too many people as Jesus Christ was a black man!
Me: A professional student for over 15 years to my name, has NEVER EVER learned/heard about this injustice and tragic event. Racism is disgusting and I cannot believe people are capable of such hate towards others. Be nice, be respectful, be better.
I never learned this in school either. Or about so, so many other horrific events. I was in a great school system, and our teachers did their damndest to teach us the *full* history of the US (crimes against Native Peoples, crimes against Blacks, crimes and discrimination of many groups throughout history), and we STILL barely covered it all. Can't imagine what that looks like in most US schools, especially these days with dwindling resources and no time to teach anything other than the SOL test. UGH this country is so..... frustrating.......
It’s something that has long been buried in history through tremendous efforts to try and have it lost and forgotten...out of shame bc the perpetrators knew they wrong. Congrats on all your years of schooling, keep satiating that thirst for knowledge. Might I recommend the channel Vox, they’ve covered this story and many others of a similar nature in the past. If it’s something that sparks your interest
@@Sleipnirseight I learned about this just last week. I graduated in 2000 and although we had decent history classes I can only imagine what all is Missing.
I cried listening to this. My skin doesn't make me a bad person. And why do I have to say that...smh. Even now. Smh. If we all treated each other like we wanted to be treated, this world would be a better place.
My Dad taught us that to use the level of a person’s melanin to judge them is ignorant and dangerous, perpetuated by morons who need to feel “better” than. He was correct. The world is richer and safer when we treat each other with decency. Can’t believe this has to be said in the 21st century.
I will never understand why people use something as superficial as skin colour, religion etc to compensate for their true frustrations. After all one will never be able to let go of anger, pain and fear if they don't deal with the ACTUAL root of their feelings...
I completely agree. I hope that someday the world will be able to see everyone as their own individual, and I’m so sorry that you feel that way. It’s truly depressing how awful people can be, I just hope that someday racism will be unimaginable and not a reality.
It's not right but many countries try to cover their sins. In this, I wish America could be honest and open about its past and be open so that history wouldn't keep repeating itself.
Some of my history professors put it best, history is written by "victors" not victims. History is a subjective study that analyzes hard facts (documents, records, etc.) and then interprets them for a narrative. Most of American history, even that learned abroad is whitewashed to the core because it's convenient for white Americans so that they don't feel "uncomfortable" about the truth.
That's one reason we had the Truth & Reconciliation Commission here in South Africa... so stories like this could never be ignored. There are so many of them in our history books, you could never deny them.
This is why we love you Bailey. This is one of the most tragic stories of the black community and even to this day it’s swept under the rug. One of the most influential black financial districts is burned to the ground and still to this day is not recognized. Thanks for this.
And the sad part this isn’t the case of this these things happened all over the us and there is even speculation about the levy during/after Katrina. Kind of like in florida where they conveniently accused a man doing something to a white woman and the buried the black town and made into a man made lake. 😕
I honestly had to learn about this from my black history teacher. It was not anywhere in WVs curriculum, and honestly haven't heard much about it since. It's horrific.
Years back I only got word of the event from someone I would follow in the music industry who included a part of their tour visit with a gentleman who was sharing his first hand account of it. Textbooks mean nothing. You have to dig for it yourself everywhere else.
It's so sad :( it's the first time I hear about these events. There's just absolutely no words to describe this tragedy and all the pain and challenges the black community must have been going through up to today ♡
This is so awful. It is also the reason that its upsets me so much that statues are being torn down, now. All Americans need to know our history. The true history. How can we repair what is wrong when we don't know the truth?
Sadly, in Texas, I was not taught about this in school. My mother explained everything to me in middle school but when I asked my teacher the next day I was told it was false. That's when I stopped trusting teachers.
A lit of it is intentionally left out of th e history books. Texas and a few other states in the south are notorious for this, but many other states are completely guilty of re-writing or white washing history.
I've lived in Oklahoma my whole life. As a sophomore in college, the Tulsa Race Massacre was mentioned to me ONCE over all these years of school. It was one page in a textbook and one slide in a powerpoint, and a couple words from the teacher. Sadly, this issue has been so heavily covered up that even I, someone who has been here their whole life, didn't know a thing about it for so so long. It needs to be talked about more, all these issues need to be discussed more!
Same, I'm a Tulsa native and this was one page in a text book and it was explained that a black man assaulted a white woman and it started a riot. That's about it. It wasn't until I went to the Museum that I learned the truth.
I have also lived in Oklahoma my whole life and it wasn’t mentioned once in the entire year of Oklahoma history that I took! How RIDICULOUS! The only reason that I knew about the massacre was because of an amazing black female professor that I had who was adamant that we spent multiple lectures watching videos and talking about how horrific the massacre was. I’m 99% sure it wasn’t even in the curriculum but she still went out of her way to teach it.
I'm from Tulsa County, at my school we had history books from the 80's with no info on the Tulsa Race Riot, I had a teacher in 9th grade (2013) for the first time for several of us students, teach us about the massacre. Several of my history teachers through the years would always tell us they were scared their job would be on the line for educating us about this event, but every single history teacher I had at this school told us anyways because they knew it was important part of our history. Its crazy in 2013 my teachers were taking a stand silently and risking their jobs for the knowledge of their students of a better understanding where our state started. By the time I left 2017 it was a requirement by my school to teach about the events in 1921 massacre.
You know what’s SO sad? I’ve been born and raised here in Oklahoma and never ONCE was the massacre mentioned in our oklahoma history. I only learned of it on my own once I became an adult. I believe they’ve recently changed curriculum here so they will be teaching about it in the future but look what happens when you don’t EDUCATE people on what happens in history. It’s bound to repeat itself and it has been, for centuries this has never stopped. I’m so glad you’re making people aware of an important lesson in history.
Okay but like, when I saw the title, I just started to cry. You have no idea how much this video means to me, a black woman. I already love you so much, I’ve been watching you for years, and this was just the icing on the cake ❤️maybe we could talk more about native Americans as well, Latinas, and other minorities that have little to now media coverage about horrible things happening in society.
Exactly I'm watching it now tearing up on the end... Because it's like people don't care about what we've gone through what where still going through... Yes I want more of those stories as well... Because people don't know..
I’m appalled that I as a white person, I was not taught true American history. It disgusts me, so thank you for talking about this. I know there are so many more stories like this that need to be brought to publics attention.
I grew up in a Hispanic community and since my older bro is a bit darker than me he experience racism himself and developed a huge hatred towards white people include towards me racism comes in all shapes sizes and colors iam appalled that the world came to this and since I'm lighter than my brother it makes me hate myself and ashamed
@@techpunk710 don’t hate yourself for being a lighter complexion . You shouldn’t beat yourself up about that or let anyone make you feel guilty for that . Just speak love into ppl that’s darker than you & think of ways you can stop racism . You’re no less of a person because if you’re complexion & im sorry you feel that way
@@queent6078She never said she hated herself for being white or that she feels guilty or insinuated it🙄 Go back and re-read it. She said "I'm appalled...that as a White person..." NOT for being a White person. The reason I'm pointing this out, is because racist are using the reason/ excuse that White people are being made to feel guilty for being White....blah blah blah, they are using that as the excuse to not teach history properly.
Also I would like to add (based on what my elders have told me), violence was used to keep survivors quiet. It was said if a black person even mentioned it, they were killed/beaten. This whole thing was crazy and started no diff than the massacre in Rosewood. It’s so sad and horrible.
Wow, Rosewood massacre - yet another one I've never heard about. Thank you for sharing. I imagine the list of horrific events covered up by our society is a long one
Sad to say that this is the FIRST time I’ve heard of this. Was never taught this in school and I live in the South. This should be mandatory to teach in all schools across the country.
The south has a thorough record of whitewashing their history and making the rampant racism throughout the South seem like it ended when the Jim crow laws were reversed(Not by the Southern States). They refuse to acknowledge events like the Tulsa race Massacre because it shows how racism was celebrated and ingrained in Southern Culture. The biggest example being the Confederate flag
I went to school in the North and never heard about this either. The whole US educational system is designed to reinforce white supremacy. Highly recommend reading “Lies My Teacher Told Me” to learn more Black/POC history.
@@emo-slime-mold I grew up in New York city most people think that's the most diverse and tolerant place in America but because of old laws and rich white lawmakers who refuse to fix the problem the New York City school system is the most segregated school system in America. The North and the South have deep-rooted issues when it comes to race America as a whole has to change by scrapping laws designed to oppress minority groups and accepting that racism still exists
I learned about it in high school in Tennessee. I think more people learn about it, but simply forget because it’s taught along with a ton of other events. We don’t retain every bit of information we learned in high school. Granted, I still believe it should be focused on like the trail of tears is.
If y’all want more information on this ,there’s an hour long documentary on here about it . Just search the Tulsa race riot and it should pop up . The death toll was reported to be a lot lower than it actually was . They reported 100 to 300 deaths but victims put it closer to 600
Yes I’m from Oklahoma and barely knew anything about it until 8th grade and in my reading class we read a fiction book based off of it and didn’t even know if it was in our history books I don’t recall it’s really not taught much here unless you’re made aware I have no clue why
@@Michaelabeauty96 it's probably not taught because it's something to be ashamed of and to be covered up. It's actually sickening how man can be so barbaric.
I lived in Oklahoma from 5th to 7th grade and we learned about it in 5th grade and fully covered it in 7th. That would've been in the 93 and 95. 7th grade we also really dove into to the crimes and atrocities committed against the native Americans that were from there or transplanted to there.
Man I can only imagine how Roland must have felt, tripped and then his town got attacked, how much guilt did he have for something that wasn't even his fault
As an Oklahoma public school student, I had an amazing history teacher who did teach us about this and how incredibly horrible and evil it was. This was a very rural farm school full of only white kids and we were appalled that this happened! This was also in the 1990's that we were taught this and other parts of history not in our history books. US history is full of evil and atrocious things and we need to remember and learn about them. Remember, racism is taught. Also, Bailey, please do a show or series on the disappearances and lack of investigations of natives all over the country.
I was taught about this in the 80s and then my kids were all taught in school, as well. Of course, it wasn't in the OK History books. For our class we were given Xerox copies of this horrible evil. I live outside Tulsa and everyone around here knows about what happened. We're not the same awful people we used to be. There are many groups who are actively looking for the graves of all those missing. I'm especially hearing a lot on the radio and newspapers about it now, since it is the anniversary month. Make no mistake.. I have had long, hard discussions with my children about racism and how all people are created equal and everyone should should be treated as equals regardless of their race. This is what it is going to take to raise a generation that is color blind.
My history teacher freshman year of high school was fired for teaching us this. She wasn't allowed to include it in the classwork. She taught a lot of us these things AFTER school. She had an after school study/educational group. We willingly joined the group to learn. She was a great teacher and they fired her not for teaching after school but for teaching THIS after school.
Bless her heart. It’s a strong teacher to teach for the sake of knowledge regardless of boundaries. History is history. Whitewashing history benefits no one, not even those try to accomplish it.
I remember my history teacher told me that her great grandma told her that back in 1921 you couldn’t tell the difference between Tulsa and New York City. Makes you wonder how amazing Greenwood could’ve been if this never happened. Imagine all the Black generational wealth lost. Tulsa would’ve been such a cultural hub for Black Americans.
Agreed!! That was an absolute horrible story!! So so sad to think of what he went through- also makes me sick to my stomach that she later decided to be honest about the fact that NOTHING HAPPENED! also that those involved got to live their lives as if they didn’t do what they did
as a black woman from tulsa you don't know how much this means to me. the city of tulsa continuously uses this as a way to promote the city to tourists as if it's something cute and fun but still refuse to give any reparations to the victims to this very day. the greenwood area now is overflowing with white businesses. the only thing we really have down there is a tiny handful of obscure black businesses and a mlk memorial. the black community was moved from downtown (greenwood) to north tulsa where the black community is still struggling to find their footing. they don't even have anything up to apologize for the horrors that they caused. in 2021 it'll be the 100th anniversary and white supremacy is going to be through the roof. also a little fun fact... south tulsa used to be known for having a lot of kkk members on that side of town (most kkk meetings were held over there). it's now the richest part of town so most of the homes and rich families that still live over there til this day have had white supremacy generationally drilled into their own minds from parent to parent.
I love that you chose the Tulsa massacre everyone Black I know knows about it but so many other Americans have no idea. If people want to know why Black people have started recording Karens this is why calling the cops falsely on us has been getting us fired, arrested, and killed for a long time.
I have lived in Norman Okla. since 1975 I was 7 when we moved here and I never new any of this. I am asking why have I never heard this? Why did I not learn this in school? HMMM makes you wonder??? Thank You for teaching me about this on to learn more!
I'm 35 years old and I have never heard this story. I've heard similar themes in fiction books, but I had no idea this actually happened. I'm not surprised, but I am disgusted. It makes other events make more sense and I'll be digging more into the story now.
@@mimi-yt7gq if you search Black Wall Street on here one of the first results will be a documentary on a channel called theblackestpanther. I just watched it the other day, it was great and had several interviews with people who were there and survived
I live in Tulsa and we’re STILL feeling the ramifications of his horrific event. The city is completely segregated, and Black Wall Street is still recovering. Thank you for covering it, 🙏🏻
If anyone has other questions about Tulsa’s current climate, in regards to race, please send them my way! I obviously can’t speak for black residents, but they may not see the video, so I’m happy to just be a general resource for information on Tulsa
Really? How so? I live in Tulsa as well, I've been here almost 2 years and all I've heard is that Hispanics and Native Americans don't get along and I haven't even seen that! Everyone I've come across of all colors here are so nice
THIS is why we get upset when people say we’re lazy and can’t make anything of ourselves. We’ve TRIED and see what happened? Thank you Bailey for talking about this.
I get your point but I'd like to add... 'and we've succeeded' because there are thousands even million of wealthy or successful black neighborhoods, people just don't like to see black look successful so it's not talked about.
Angela Johnson Keys blacks got paid.... even if they wasn’t given money through out all of history they were given a place to stay and food to eat which back then was used as a form of payment
@@moss0929 i live in oklahoma, when they teach us they call it the tulsa race riots and they only talk about it for barely a day. You wouldn't believe all of the "not racist" people who stand by it being a riot and even saying we are rioting right now when we are peacefully protesting 🙄
Bailey your words and personal feelings at the end of this video almost have me in tears. The black community needs more allies like you. We need more people to educate themselves and open their eyes and you are one that I would happily trust to fight for and with us through this ongoing struggle. Thank you for sharing this. Even I have learned more details about this horrific event. Black lives matter.
I’m a teacher. I’m doing my best to bring black authors into my cannon, as well as shed light on bullying, the plight of women in history, and other cultures. I’m not the only one! We r trying, really trying. The best way to make a change is to educate our next generation. Hang in there sister ♥️
Who else just loves Monday’s because of bailey?! ❤️ May I also add that I’m so proud that you hit 1Mil! You deserve it because of all the work you put into your videos!
Thank you for this, Bailey. My parents were born in Tulsa in the '50s and lived there until leaving for college, and my sister and I went to college in Oklahoma. None of us learned about this until just a few years ago. It's so insane that atrocities of this scale could be covered up for so long. There a great documentary on PBS about the Tulsa Race Massacre that also talks about the efforts to find mass graves using sonar.
@@jeng6458 this to I went to pearl publish school (luke woodam) any mention of that shooting got us in a funk load of trouble and it's happened when in 1997 I was born in 95 we where simple wanting to know what happened to basically put the whole school on a permanent lock down
They know they're in the wrong, don't want to acknowledge the atrocities they did, pretend they were justified, ACTIVELY SILENCE ATTEMPTS TO GET THIS INFORMATION OUT, and brush off anything they don't like that doesn't fit their pro-white image.
The government is trying to erase most historical events that occurred in this country. I’d never heard of this and sadly the kids of our future probably won’t know either along with the civil war. Look at all the statues that have been torn down due to the lack of knowledge and the attempt to keep most large scale events buried. It’s sad really. History books are being reprinted with certain things deleted... 😔
They did a great job at covering it up and hiding it because most of Oklahomans didn't learn about this until they went to college if they were lucky. I grew up in muskogee about an hour from tulsa and I never heard about it till college.
I am As what is known in the south is a *Yankee* (NORTHERN)I must say I am ashamed of the southernersTHEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS HORRIFIC SITUATION AN, I AM A YANKEE AN AM AGAINST ANY RACIAL SEGREGATION THE SOUTH HAS ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN FOR ITS RACISM WHICH IS SICKENING
@@bloodstrxwberrymilk1833I literally have no words. All I feel is disgust. I don’t want to understand why they did what they did. I just want them to start to make things right. People are people. We are all the same bones and organs under our skin. We are all human. But the whites that did this…. Those weren’t people… they were Monsters.💔🤬😭
Bailey, you really should be a history school teacher. You explain things in a way that holds peoples attention and educate on history events that we never heard about in school! Yes, I'm watching these videos 3 years later
I literally love how ur teaching so much more history than high school ever taught me.. I feel like a lot of these times in history were left out in school. I wonder why 🤔
I seriously don’t know why I’m from Oklahoma and was barely taught about this until 8th grade and was in my reading class and we read a book that was fictional but around the event
This isn't the first time something like this has happened so it went into the "same old, same old" box. People usually don't bring up things like that
Growing up i went to a predominantly white school black history was rarely covered my cousins would talk about having African American histroy class and I was lucky if they covered MLK and rosa parks in February.
I am watching in January of 22....a year after this video was filmed. Bailey is thanking subscribers for reaching 1 million subscribers. A year later she has over 6 million. ❤
I am almost 56 years old and this was never taught in any history class. My son is in high school and was never taught about this. Thank you for bringing the horror of this massacre to light. We need education to tell ALL of our history ACCURATELY!
Swedish Metal if you’re going to tell a story TELL IT RIGHT THEY WANT GET RID OF the HISTORY requirement and REPLACE IT WITH a civics requirement. Since the history that is taught is subjective.
“Hey how are you? Did you miss me?” Me: Is that even a question at this point OF COURSE I DID --------------- congrats on 1 million!!!!! I’m so proud of you Bailey I’m so glad I found ur channel a while back ❤️ also I am so happy that u are using ur platform for BLM awareness 😊
I appreciate you talking about this bailey. I was never taught this in school and am very angry that it took so long for me and many others to learn of this, this isn't something that should be swept under the rug. I appreciate you using your platform to speak about black injustices❤✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Agreed! I'm 50 and never knew this even happened till a few days ago. I'm questioning all my "history lessons" now and doing a deep dive into the US's history against POC myself!
Yeah allot of the true black history I know I had to learn myself it’s so frustrating how in school we were only taught about the select few black injustices but not the full true history ☹️Black Wall Street was a powerful time and I never learned it in school not even during black history month smh 😪
Js, you have nothing to be ashamed of because 1. You did nothing 2. You were not alive. Am I sad that it happened, of course, but I nor you own what happened.
It's not your fault that you hadn't heard about this before. The important part is that you listened when you learned about it, and will hopefully pass this knowledge on to others.
as someone who lives in tulsa and grew up outside of the city and was never taught about this at school i was enraged to learn about this in my early 20's. hopefully your STUNNING video teaches more people about this terrible event
I don’t think that I just speak for myself when I say that as a Black woman, seeing the emotion in your face and the way you delivered this video just made me love you as a sister in arms even more. I TOO have heard ignorant assed people say “Well why don’t they just make their own neighborhoods?” and it boils my blood to no end. I love all of your videos, but this one hit a little different for me in my soul! THANK you for reiterating that they were treated as if their 👏🏾lives 👏🏾didn’t 👏🏾MATTER, hence why we say Black Lives Matter over and over and OVER again. It’s exhausting and this story upsets me every time I hear it, but your delivery was so beautiful and heartfelt. Sending you the biggest hugs and love from Hawaii🤗🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗🤗
I’m tears to this comment. It’s so true. Black lives didn’t matter, especially back then. I think this is such a great point to the “black lives matter”. I will say that I believe that most people that say “all lives matter” aren’t racist, just uneducated.
When I learned about Emmitt Till in school I kept having to take breaks because what I was reading was sickening. I actually started crying. One of the worst things I've ever heard
"fun" fact: Virginia and several other states still have Jim Crow laws actively on the books. They're not enforced, but they still exist, here in 2020.
I love her so much and she made me even happier knowing that she is using her platform to inform people of the injustice poc went through. She is by far my favorite TH-camr ever 🎉💖
Born and raised Oklahoman here, I went to a small school, my senior class was 11😂 my history teacher taught us about this. We spent a week on it, it wasn’t a little blip in one day. We spent so much time going in great detail. She even had names of some of the people who were killed and some who survived and we learned about them too, not just ”oh this happened.” She made us see that this happened to people just like us.
I lived in a small town next to the OK border for many years. Never heard of this. I’m willing to bet well over 90% of Americans haven’t been taught this in school.
I’m not black nor white but the fact that Bailey made this video as her “thank you for 1Mil sub” video , and just the details and contents of this video gives many viewers a great history lesson, so real and unbiased , I love her more❤️
This is exactly why I or my future children will never fight for this country , it doesn’t fight for us . But I’m glad you recognize the problem you’re awesome ❤️❤️
@@leandracariker9574 what school did you attend? And when did you graduate? I went to a Christian school (first problem) and never heard about it until i was an adult and they started looking fir the mass graves.
As a born and raised tulsan, this one was especially hard. My great grandma owned a hair salon on greenwood at the time. She lost everything but her life that night. As a hairdresser myself I hope to open the shop back up and back in the family one day♥️😥
As a fellow Oklahoman im rooting for u girl! When that time comes (even though i dont know u i believe u can make it happen) I want to be amongst the first customers!
I can't believe how fast her fan base has grown since I started watching her. I love her channel so much, and I'm so happy we as a fan base have grown so much! Her videos really give me something to look forward to.
I started at the beginning of the series and this is where I'm at. Other episodes have made me sick to my stomach, but I've never cried. This episode hurt my spirit and made me bawl. I had never heard of this, I knew horrible things happened but something of this magnitude to not be told is beyond words. I also want to thank you for a subtle thing I noticed. In other videos you have said if it's too much to leave and skip this one we'll see you next week. But this one you never gave that option. We have to learn of the horrors of the past to know better and do better for our future. Thank you
Literally that’s probably the main reason why I want to study History. I want the kids to know the truth about those “white heroes” and help minority kids know their history. I’m tired of this whitewashed textbooks we read
Absolutely. Actually they really only teach you about white men. Women and people of color have been written out of history at least in American schools.
Truth. We need to keep the evidence around or else they can make it fade away and be forgotten. We need to take all these statues and put them somewhere. Don't keep it alive but keep it as proof.
As a person who is from Oklahoma, I can honestly say I NEVER learned about this in school. Not in grade school, not in high school, and not even in college. I'm so glad you brought this story to your platform. ❤
Tulsa is just one of the communities that was destroyed by racists and their hatred. There are numerous. Another little known fact is beautiful Central Park in New York was once a thriving black community called Seneca Village. My people have been in mourning for the past 400 years.. I thank you for using your platform to shed a bright light on this countries history.
Rosewood Florida was another black community where there was a massacre of African Americans in 1923. There is a culture of silence concerning this incident.
Coming from Scotland we grow up with very little of this in history, it needs to be more widely communicated and educated, we learnt about the rabbit proof fence when in history class, Other horrendous things should be reported accurately so we can all be aware of what the past really was
@@MW-uk5ji Roanoke was established in 1587 which was 433 years ago. The US as we know it is 244 years old, but African slaves were in the US way before that.
I’m born and raised in Oklahoma... I’m 26 and NEVER learned about this in school! I remember my pawpaw telling me about it but nothing from the schools.
If it helps, I am a 4th/5th grade teacher in Ohio. My students are doing black history informational writing this month and after randomly clicking on this video, I added it to my list of suggestions. One of my very strong black students has been researching this and is SO excited to teach the other students about it!
it always gives me so much to hear about wonderful teachers like you who go above and beyond the required curriculum. you are shaping tomorrow’s minds to be not only knowledgeable, but also empathetic, and to break down the prejudices of past generations. thank you for all that you do.
As a history department chair, I did introduce this massacre to my students. It was not in any "approved" history book but needed to be studied. You nailed this and I thank you!
This story breaks my heart. Here I am an almost 30 year old white women never heard this story. I was never taught this is school. Why is this not being taught!? THIS NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT IT IS APART OF HISTORY!
I graduated highschool in Texas in 2014. I only learned about this horrible event the beginning of this year when we moved to none the less than Tulsa, OK. :(
I’m so glad you’re doing a video on this! The historical context the Tulsa Massacre has is unbelievable. It’s not taught in schools and the fact that you acknowledge the importance of covering this case is much appreciated! Thank you Bailey! ❤️
The real question is WHY arent stories like this in American History textbooks or classrooms?? Like Bailey said, its uncomfortable to talk about but needs to be said.
Grew up in Oklahoma and I'm native American and jewish. We are taught this in school. More than the holocaust and more than the trail of tears in school
I also think one class is not enough to cover every inch of history that we would like to learn. Thats why we touch on it but dont have the time to learn extensively about it. I dont think its that they arent trying to educate us about it there is just so much history to cram in a few classes.
It’s absolutely horrible but it’s because the government wants to shield the information that we learned as a child so they can mold brainless automatons as human beings that they can mold and shape to do what they want. It’s absolutely awful! I didn’t learn about any of this until college, I actually hated history when I was in high school we didn’t learn about anything interesting or impactful and a half of the stuff we learned wasn’t even true! Our government is doing a terrible job.. Isn’t there a line in the constitution stating that if the government isn’t governing the people that we should throw off such government (I don’t remember the exact line but you see what I’m getting at)
100 years later it’s growing and more awareness is being brought about. It’s beautiful and I suggest people make a trip to Tulsa Oklahoma to learn more!
I am so HAPPY that the Tulsa Race Massacre is finally getting the recognition it needs! I’ve live in Tulsa for YEARS and never heard about this, until last year. Smh. So many of my friends from all over the country is learning about this event and it makes me so happy. Thank you for bringing more recognition to this, Bailey.
This story makes me so mad!! I always taught to love one another and be there for people. I couldn’t imagine living through that. My heart breaks for them and their families.
I love that she doesn’t put creepy music in the back of her videos, because other true crime channels do it and I can barely focus
Lol, fact.
Totally. It creeps me out even more that I can’t watch the other videos.
Liam Cottle came here only for the background music, guess I will go
Fact! the lack of music also makes her series more genuine, like we're having a chit chat and less of a show
Yes! And it totally freaks me out and feels like I’m watching a horror film or something, which I cannot stomach
Bailey, would you be willing to do any mystery involving native American women that come up missing? No one helps us. When a woman comes up missing, there isnt any help from anyone outside of the reservations. It's really sad, and I don't think anyone knows these women go unreported. I think it would be great if it was talked about. Many story's are sooo interesting and just strange. ❤️
The only place I've seen anyone talk about the missing women on the Reservations is PBS. That's it.
We need this story out there.
@@jojojuly85 yes! Thank you! So much injustice for minorities.
As an Australian, I feel like everyone focuses on the issues between black and white in America and rarely mention the massacres of indigenous americans. I hope Bailey covers some stories that raise awareness of what is happening in your communities, I have seen a Canadian story regarding the missing indigenous women, but nothing in the USA.
@@samalamadingdong1317 Black activists often include native experiences in their activism. At least that's my experience as an American who follows these movements closely.
It's the media coverage of the activism that gets it wrong imo.
That would be so awesome bailey❤🤟❤🤟❤🤟 if ya did that MUCH LOVE
Bailey, as a Black Woman, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm from the south and graduated in 2017, THIS WAS NEVER TAUGHT or EVEN SPOKEN OF. Thank you for using your platform wisely in general, but especially during this time. Congratulations on 1M subscribers as well, you're doing great things and educating along the way. Please try to continue shedding light on the "whitewashed" and hidden stories of my people and my community. Thank you again! 🖤🌻
As the story got progressively worse, steam was coming from my ears and nostrils. It angered me so much to tears and they just- covered it all up..? 😡
I actually learned about it just not in history class, then again I went to a high school that majority was minority. I had a native American teacher in English/ reading class. Extra credits on essays on books that where banned.
🙏🏽
im from Canada and its sad to say that I learned about this story before most of my relatives in the us. who tried to dismiss this by saying- it was never taught so it must not be real.
I'm horrified that I've never heard of this horrible tragedy; my school taught us about the Civil Rights Movement during the 1960s, but the horrible events that they told us about were nothing compared to just this one story. Really makes you wonder how many other horrible events they're trying to hide the existence of.
As a black woman from Alabama, I got emotional when u mentioned black men fighting a war for a country that didn’t even view them as human! To think of my grandfather being FORCED to fight for ppl that wouldn’t spit on him if he was on fire, just makes me realize how much resilience and power the black community possesses!
that is disgusting. I am so sorry :(
I know it wasn't my fault but I feel ashamed for all of the wrongs that have been visited upon other cultures by my own. I find it incredible that I my black friends can see past the colour of my skin.
@@zoehope1089 we love you❤
Your grandfather was forced to fight in what war?
@@zoehope1089this!!!!!!❤
Dude nobody ever talks about the race riots. As someone who lives in Tulsa it makes me really happy that you are talking about this! :)
!!!!
Same!!!
So weird to me that no one has heard about this we literally had a whole day in history class where we learned about.
Right?! I grew up in Osage county (north Oklahoma) and we never talked about this during Oklahoma history!
I heard about it from my grandmother who was a teen at the time growing up, so sad.
I love how she tied this situation in with what is going on now. This video was educational and it was amazing of her to bring awareness.
i know! it’s just sad that something that happened in 1922 is still happening today! ♥️♥️ everyone stay strong.
the fact that someone is finally talking about this part of history is honestly refreshing. it's a tragedy but it has to be discussed. Thank you, Bailey
We just watched this in my African American history class, and my teacher told me that this video is one of the best educational videos on this topic he’s ever seen
I’m so proud she hit 1M. She soooo deserves it. And when she was talking about how when she was young she never felt like she had a place, she has a place now and she matters to so many people. Ugh I love and support you Bailey!💕
Ikr I love baily so much 😻

Kennedy Coles YESSSSS
YEEEES :) ❤️ I really don't like many You Tubers and don't enjoy watching any BESIDE Baileys Channel. She has such a funny and unique personality, just love her and I also like her subscriber, you don't see often such a chill and cool commentary section like hers!!!
Yep, I've lived in Oklahoma almost 40 years (born and raised) and I never heard about this until I was about 20 years old. It wasn't in any of our history books and I went to a black majority school (~ 98%). So it's even more surprising this wasn't mentioned.
As a black girl who lived in Tulsa and my family was involved in this massacre I appreciate it so much. More ppl need to know what happened that horrible day. Your the best, I also live down the street from where it happens
❤❤❤Hugs❤❤❤
You’ve already made your bloodline proud baby just with the mere strength to carry on right there 💪🏽
Bbbb
Bbbbb
I'm sorry💔
The fact that I grew up in Tulsa and this was never mentioned ONCE is saddening.
When Turkey committed Genocide against the Armenians (my ancestors) in 1915, photos were taken and survivor stories were told. But to this day Turkey denies the genocide aggressively. But our polititians have to be careful and not mention it since Turkey is an ally.
i grew up in tulsa too and once i heard about that i was sickened to the core… it’s not taught at all in school
We live in a tiny village in England, EVERYTHING of historical interest to this area is taught in local schools! I went to school in the 80’s & I was taught about slavery in the americas, MLK junior, black “Wall Street” etc. Why isn’t this taught in schools?? History was brutal & cruel. If we don’t teach we don’t learn how far we’ve come & how far we have to go?!!?
@@cynzbad63 I’m stunned that the “Left wing socialist” channel, ‘The Young Turks’ chose that name!! One of their members says that she is “proud of (her) Armenian heritage”…😳🤯 STUNNED!! 😳🤯
@@suzimonkey345 why would she not be proud of her Armenia heritage? Her people survived a genocide
As a black woman I thank you for bringing this to literally 1 million people(congrats btw!) It’s such a shame America’s real history isn’t taught in schools
I was in AP history and had to write a report about this and give a presentation. I couldn't because I was so angered and saddened.
I'm hoping we can change that in the near future. People need to continue to open their eyes and see that injustices are still happening to this day and put and end to it right now. 💜💜💜 all humans deserve to be treated equally
💯❗️
No instead they would rather teach things like Christopher Columbus discovered America! The whole idea is to steal what they want from other ethnicities! I would say races but in all honesty there is one race the human race there are just different ethnicities the whole race chart was made up by a German Doctor Who was studying the skulls of human beings! And this was done to segregate people to make the white man feel Superior! Just the same way they whitewashed Christianity! To disguise the fact that Adam and Eve we're really black! And to disguise the fact that Yeshua hamashiach also known too many people as Jesus Christ was a black man!
Iknow they dont even share south America or the whole North American history. Only the US history .
Me: A professional student for over 15 years to my name, has NEVER EVER learned/heard about this injustice and tragic event. Racism is disgusting and I cannot believe people are capable of such hate towards others. Be nice, be respectful, be better.
I never learned this in school either. Or about so, so many other horrific events.
I was in a great school system, and our teachers did their damndest to teach us the *full* history of the US (crimes against Native Peoples, crimes against Blacks, crimes and discrimination of many groups throughout history), and we STILL barely covered it all. Can't imagine what that looks like in most US schools, especially these days with dwindling resources and no time to teach anything other than the SOL test. UGH this country is so..... frustrating.......
It’s something that has long been buried in history through tremendous efforts to try and have it lost and forgotten...out of shame bc the perpetrators knew they wrong. Congrats on all your years of schooling, keep satiating that thirst for knowledge. Might I recommend the channel Vox, they’ve covered this story and many others of a similar nature in the past. If it’s something that sparks your interest
@@Sleipnirseight I learned about this just last week. I graduated in 2000 and although we had decent history classes I can only imagine what all is Missing.
Check the rosewood massacre. Which bizarrely (or not) was also started by a white woman falsely accusing a black man of assault.
I, a 42 y.o woman and history buff, only learned about it in the last year from watching the show, Watchmen
I cried listening to this. My skin doesn't make me a bad person. And why do I have to say that...smh. Even now. Smh. If we all treated each other like we wanted to be treated, this world would be a better place.
My Dad taught us that to use the level of a person’s melanin to judge them is ignorant and dangerous, perpetuated by morons who need to feel “better” than. He was correct. The world is richer and safer when we treat each other with decency. Can’t believe this has to be said in the 21st century.
I will never understand why people use something as superficial as skin colour, religion etc to compensate for their true frustrations. After all one will never be able to let go of anger, pain and fear if they don't deal with the ACTUAL root of their feelings...
Iam so sorry that people of my skin color made you feel like this I cant belive someone can hate someone just bc of their skin color...😪❤
I completely agree. I hope that someday the world will be able to see everyone as their own individual, and I’m so sorry that you feel that way. It’s truly depressing how awful people can be, I just hope that someday racism will be unimaginable and not a reality.
Seeing Bailey this hyped about 1M knowing just a couple years later she has 7M is so cool
I can’t believe history like this could just be ignored..
It's not right but many countries try to cover their sins. In this, I wish America could be honest and open about its past and be open so that history wouldn't keep repeating itself.
@@maryelizabeth5393 oh you live in Oklahoma?
Some of my history professors put it best, history is written by "victors" not victims. History is a subjective study that analyzes hard facts (documents, records, etc.) and then interprets them for a narrative. Most of American history, even that learned abroad is whitewashed to the core because it's convenient for white Americans so that they don't feel "uncomfortable" about the truth.
@@tophermagellan6017 I live in the midwest and a lot of those states have cover ups like this, not as bad but still bad
That's one reason we had the Truth & Reconciliation Commission here in South Africa... so stories like this could never be ignored. There are so many of them in our history books, you could never deny them.
This is why we love you Bailey. This is one of the most tragic stories of the black community and even to this day it’s swept under the rug. One of the most influential black financial districts is burned to the ground and still to this day is not recognized. Thanks for this.
And the sad part this isn’t the case of this these things happened all over the us and there is even speculation about the levy during/after Katrina. Kind of like in florida where they conveniently accused a man doing something to a white woman and the buried the black town and made into a man made lake. 😕
I honestly had to learn about this from my black history teacher. It was not anywhere in WVs curriculum, and honestly haven't heard much about it since. It's horrific.
Years back I only got word of the event from someone I would follow in the music industry who included a part of their tour visit with a gentleman who was sharing his first hand account of it. Textbooks mean nothing. You have to dig for it yourself everywhere else.
It's so sad :( it's the first time I hear about these events. There's just absolutely no words to describe this tragedy and all the pain and challenges the black community must have been going through up to today ♡
Black person fired the first shot 😉
I’m from Oklahoma and have family on my dads side that died during this event. So happy you covered it for others to learn about!
I’m sorry to hear that 🙏♥️
😢😢😢😢
I am so sorry your family suffered this loss. I am so sad that history is being rewritten.
I we I
This is so awful. It is also the reason that its upsets me so much that statues are being torn down, now. All Americans need to know our history. The true history. How can we repair what is wrong when we don't know the truth?
"We have to educate ourselves. And we have to do better." Bailey Sarian
This needs to be everywhere but it’s sadly not
Sadly, in Texas, I was not taught about this in school. My mother explained everything to me in middle school but when I asked my teacher the next day I was told it was false. That's when I stopped trusting teachers.
Even the school systems in Texas is racist
Bet you didn’t learn about the Slocum massacre either. I’m from Texas and had to learn on my own.
There’s been a few teachers in Canada that believed the Holocaust never happened and attempted to teach their beliefs..
I'm from Tulsa, went to public school. Didn't know about this AT ALL until I left for college out of state.
A lit of it is intentionally left out of th e history books. Texas and a few other states in the south are notorious for this, but many other states are completely guilty of re-writing or white washing history.
I've lived in Oklahoma my whole life. As a sophomore in college, the Tulsa Race Massacre was mentioned to me ONCE over all these years of school. It was one page in a textbook and one slide in a powerpoint, and a couple words from the teacher. Sadly, this issue has been so heavily covered up that even I, someone who has been here their whole life, didn't know a thing about it for so so long. It needs to be talked about more, all these issues need to be discussed more!
Same, I'm a Tulsa native and this was one page in a text book and it was explained that a black man assaulted a white woman and it started a riot. That's about it.
It wasn't until I went to the Museum that I learned the truth.
I have also lived in Oklahoma my whole life and it wasn’t mentioned once in the entire year of Oklahoma history that I took! How RIDICULOUS! The only reason that I knew about the massacre was because of an amazing black female professor that I had who was adamant that we spent multiple lectures watching videos and talking about how horrific the massacre was. I’m 99% sure it wasn’t even in the curriculum but she still went out of her way to teach it.
I went to school in Oklahoma City my whole life and had never heard about this! So disgusting.
I'm from Tulsa County, at my school we had history books from the 80's with no info on the Tulsa Race Riot, I had a teacher in 9th grade (2013) for the first time for several of us students, teach us about the massacre. Several of my history teachers through the years would always tell us they were scared their job would be on the line for educating us about this event, but every single history teacher I had at this school told us anyways because they knew it was important part of our history. Its crazy in 2013 my teachers were taking a stand silently and risking their jobs for the knowledge of their students of a better understanding where our state started. By the time I left 2017 it was a requirement by my school to teach about the events in 1921 massacre.
That's awesome, I'm glad your teachers taught it to you and I'm glad that it is now a requirement
I'm from Fort Gibson, the oldest town in Oklahoma. I graduated in 2015. Not once was it ever mentioned. Not once.
Re-watching this one in 2023 and you now have well over 6 million subscribers! Congrats and we’re greatful for you and your hard work❤
You know what’s SO sad? I’ve been born and raised here in Oklahoma and never ONCE was the massacre mentioned in our oklahoma history. I only learned of it on my own once I became an adult. I believe they’ve recently changed curriculum here so they will be teaching about it in the future but look what happens when you don’t EDUCATE people on what happens in history. It’s bound to repeat itself and it has been, for centuries this has never stopped. I’m so glad you’re making people aware of an important lesson in history.
This makes you wonder. How many cases have been burned like this and aren’t in the books.
TOO MANY !!!
More than will ever be admitted. Beyond disturbing
There is evidence of more
you think that’s crazy, imagine what really happened in egypt when it got invaded
I'm sure so many we only want to tell the stories that made changes when we need to acknowledge the horrible things we have done.
Okay but like, when I saw the title, I just started to cry. You have no idea how much this video means to me, a black woman. I already love you so much, I’ve been watching you for years, and this was just the icing on the cake ❤️maybe we could talk more about native Americans as well, Latinas, and other minorities that have little to now media coverage about horrible things happening in society.
i agree native americans. latin americans and all other american minorites need the same represention
... when I read your comment I teared up!
Yes!!! It means so much Bailey. 🖤✊🏽🙏🏽
Exactly I'm watching it now tearing up on the end... Because it's like people don't care about what we've gone through what where still going through... Yes I want more of those stories as well... Because people don't know..
I got chills reading this comment.
I’m appalled that I as a white person, I was not taught true American history. It disgusts me, so thank you for talking about this. I know there are so many more stories like this that need to be brought to publics attention.
I grew up in a Hispanic community and since my older bro is a bit darker than me he experience racism himself and developed a huge hatred towards white people include towards me racism comes in all shapes sizes and colors iam appalled that the world came to this and since I'm lighter than my brother it makes me hate myself and ashamed
@@techpunk710 don’t hate yourself for being a lighter complexion . You shouldn’t beat yourself up about that or let anyone make you feel guilty for that . Just speak love into ppl that’s darker than you & think of ways you can stop racism . You’re no less of a person because if you’re complexion & im sorry you feel that way
Thank u for doing the bare minimum
What Hispanic country did your family come from?
@@queent6078She never said she hated herself for being white or that she feels guilty or insinuated it🙄 Go back and re-read it. She said "I'm appalled...that as a White person..." NOT for being a White person. The reason I'm pointing this out, is because racist are using the reason/ excuse that White people are being made to feel guilty for being White....blah blah blah, they are using that as the excuse to not teach history properly.
Also I would like to add (based on what my elders have told me), violence was used to keep survivors quiet. It was said if a black person even mentioned it, they were killed/beaten. This whole thing was crazy and started no diff than the massacre in Rosewood. It’s so sad and horrible.
Wow, Rosewood massacre - yet another one I've never heard about. Thank you for sharing. I imagine the list of horrific events covered up by our society is a long one
I will not forget.
Sad to say that this is the FIRST time I’ve heard of this. Was never taught this in school and I live in the South. This should be mandatory to teach in all schools across the country.
The south has a thorough record of whitewashing their history and making the rampant racism throughout the South seem like it ended when the Jim crow laws were reversed(Not by the Southern States). They refuse to acknowledge events like the Tulsa race Massacre because it shows how racism was celebrated and ingrained in Southern Culture. The biggest example being the Confederate flag
I went to school in the North and never heard about this either. The whole US educational system is designed to reinforce white supremacy. Highly recommend reading “Lies My Teacher Told Me” to learn more Black/POC history.
@@emo-slime-mold I grew up in New York city most people think that's the most diverse and tolerant place in America but because of old laws and rich white lawmakers who refuse to fix the problem the New York City school system is the most segregated school system in America. The North and the South have deep-rooted issues when it comes to race America as a whole has to change by scrapping laws designed to oppress minority groups and accepting that racism still exists
I learned about it in high school in Tennessee. I think more people learn about it, but simply forget because it’s taught along with a ton of other events. We don’t retain every bit of information we learned in high school. Granted, I still believe it should be focused on like the trail of tears is.
If y’all want more information on this ,there’s an hour long documentary on here about it . Just search the Tulsa race riot and it should pop up . The death toll was reported to be a lot lower than it actually was . They reported 100 to 300 deaths but victims put it closer to 600
It’s scary how easy it is for a whole towns massacre can be swept under the rug continuously for almost a century!
The biggest massacre out of 20 others like it in the country. Google "the Red Summer of 1919."
Yes I’m from Oklahoma and barely knew anything about it until 8th grade and in my reading class we read a fiction book based off of it and didn’t even know if it was in our history books I don’t recall it’s really not taught much here unless you’re made aware I have no clue why
@@Michaelabeauty96 it's probably not taught because it's something to be ashamed of and to be covered up. It's actually sickening how man can be so barbaric.
It wasn’t swept under the rug in my state at least, we learned about this in American history
I lived in Oklahoma from 5th to 7th grade and we learned about it in 5th grade and fully covered it in 7th. That would've been in the 93 and 95. 7th grade we also really dove into to the crimes and atrocities committed against the native Americans that were from there or transplanted to there.
Man I can only imagine how Roland must have felt, tripped and then his town got attacked, how much guilt did he have for something that wasn't even his fault
The girl in the elevator that screamed and really kicked it all off, if she had a heart she must be riddled with it.
@@reverendeirenallewellyn-cr4172 true
As an Oklahoma public school student, I had an amazing history teacher who did teach us about this and how incredibly horrible and evil it was. This was a very rural farm school full of only white kids and we were appalled that this happened! This was also in the 1990's that we were taught this and other parts of history not in our history books. US history is full of evil and atrocious things and we need to remember and learn about them. Remember, racism is taught.
Also, Bailey, please do a show or series on the disappearances and lack of investigations of natives all over the country.
Yess! Our missing sisters!
I was taught about this in the 80s and then my kids were all taught in school, as well. Of course, it wasn't in the OK History books. For our class we were given Xerox copies of this horrible evil. I live outside Tulsa and everyone around here knows about what happened. We're not the same awful people we used to be. There are many groups who are actively looking for the graves of all those missing. I'm especially hearing a lot on the radio and newspapers about it now, since it is the anniversary month. Make no mistake.. I have had long, hard discussions with my children about racism and how all people are created equal and everyone should should be treated as equals regardless of their race. This is what it is going to take to raise a generation that is color blind.
Yasss a lot of people do not know about MMID epidemic. Not just women... Native American people.
My history teacher freshman year of high school was fired for teaching us this. She wasn't allowed to include it in the classwork. She taught a lot of us these things AFTER school. She had an after school study/educational group. We willingly joined the group to learn. She was a great teacher and they fired her not for teaching after school but for teaching THIS after school.
Bless her heart. It’s a strong teacher to teach for the sake of knowledge regardless of boundaries. History is history. Whitewashing history benefits no one, not even those try to accomplish it.
How do we learn from our mistakes if we are not taught about our history. Its political segregation all over again!
What the actual frick, fr? Bless her and her students for not participating in the silencing. This is so sick like how can people sleep at night?
that’s crazy, i’m a junior in apush and my teacher just taught us about this
Wait, how long ago did it happen ?
I remember my history teacher told me that her great grandma told her that back in 1921 you couldn’t tell the difference between Tulsa and New York City. Makes you wonder how amazing Greenwood could’ve been if this never happened. Imagine all the Black generational wealth lost. Tulsa would’ve been such a cultural hub for Black Americans.
I was thinking that too...... like all the beauty that was destroyed :(
It was said they called it the black Wall Street.
It's absolutely heartbreaking to think about. Every time I hear this story, it guts me.
This is one of the things that led to our huge racial-wealth-gap.
YoU pEoPLe AlWaYs AsKiNg FoR HaNdOuTs! JuSt Do BeTtEr, We Did It WiThOuT aSsIStAnCe!
When we forget history, we are doomed to repeat it! Thanks for shining a light on this injustice!
You should cover Emmett Till. That’s an incredibly horrible and sad story.
I agree
Agreed!! That was an absolute horrible story!! So so sad to think of what he went through- also makes me sick to my stomach that she later decided to be honest about the fact that NOTHING HAPPENED! also that those involved got to live their lives as if they didn’t do what they did
My heart breaks everytime i read about it. But the story being told is necessary.
Yes, this family please. I can't imagine having the strength his mother had.
Definitely!
as a black woman from tulsa you don't know how much this means to me. the city of tulsa continuously uses this as a way to promote the city to tourists as if it's something cute and fun but still refuse to give any reparations to the victims to this very day. the greenwood area now is overflowing with white businesses. the only thing we really have down there is a tiny handful of obscure black businesses and a mlk memorial. the black community was moved from downtown (greenwood) to north tulsa where the black community is still struggling to find their footing. they don't even have anything up to apologize for the horrors that they caused. in 2021 it'll be the 100th anniversary and white supremacy is going to be through the roof. also a little fun fact... south tulsa used to be known for having a lot of kkk members on that side of town (most kkk meetings were held over there). it's now the richest part of town so most of the homes and rich families that still live over there til this day have had white supremacy generationally drilled into their own minds from parent to parent.
As a white woman reading your comment tears up my heart. It is not right at all.
Thank you for sharing this. It’s so sad I hope things are better for the next generation
Smh.... this makes me sick.
@@asdfghjkl.196 but their family members are...🤷
@@asdfghjkl.196 Families missed out on generational wealth, so yes they can.
imagine starting a massacre just because someone stepped on your foot in the elevator...
Me monday mornings
It want just that, that was just the ignition.
@@married222mayhem2 so I'll meet ya out on the sidewalk and we both can say loudly exactly what you wrote!
So dumb 🙄
I love that you chose the Tulsa massacre everyone Black I know knows about it but so many other Americans have no idea. If people want to know why Black people have started recording Karens this is why calling the cops falsely on us has been getting us fired, arrested, and killed for a long time.
Note-A Karen is a woman who calls the police on a black person for existing in her proximity (we’ve all seen the videos) thank you camera phones
I have lived in Norman Okla. since 1975 I was 7 when we moved here and I never new any of this. I am asking why have I never heard this? Why did I not learn this in school? HMMM makes you wonder??? Thank You for teaching me about this on to learn more!
I'm 35 years old and I have never heard this story. I've heard similar themes in fiction books, but I had no idea this actually happened. I'm not surprised, but I am disgusted. It makes other events make more sense and I'll be digging more into the story now.
@@Heyitskrystal I had no idea. At all.
@@mimi-yt7gq if you search Black Wall Street on here one of the first results will be a documentary on a channel called theblackestpanther. I just watched it the other day, it was great and had several interviews with people who were there and survived
I live in Tulsa and we’re STILL feeling the ramifications of his horrific event. The city is completely segregated, and Black Wall Street is still recovering. Thank you for covering it, 🙏🏻
That’s so sad😢 . Thanks for informing us
really?! how so? .. i'm interested hope it's still recovering
If anyone has other questions about Tulsa’s current climate, in regards to race, please send them my way! I obviously can’t speak for black residents, but they may not see the video, so I’m happy to just be a general resource for information on Tulsa
I wonder who was in power at the time in Oklahoma during these horrific events.
Really? How so? I live in Tulsa as well, I've been here almost 2 years and all I've heard is that Hispanics and Native Americans don't get along and I haven't even seen that! Everyone I've come across of all colors here are so nice
THIS is why we get upset when people say we’re lazy and can’t make anything of ourselves. We’ve TRIED and see what happened? Thank you Bailey for talking about this.
I get your point but I'd like to add... 'and we've succeeded' because there are thousands even million of wealthy or successful black neighborhoods, people just don't like to see black look successful so it's not talked about.
They've been saying that about us ever since we stopped working for free!
Gotta keep trying, especially with all the support now a days, theres nothing that cant be accomplished by anyone
Some people say segregation should still exsist because we were thriving then
Angela Johnson Keys blacks got paid.... even if they wasn’t given money through out all of history they were given a place to stay and food to eat which back then was used as a form of payment
I absolutely love you. It takes a lot of courage to stand up and she’s some kinda light for a race that people spit and frown upon.
Love that you titled it “massacre” instead of “riot” because that’s exactly what it was
Did you not watch the whole way through? ☠️🙄
Who called it riot? I ve never heard it that way only Tulsa race massacre.
@@moss0929 i live in oklahoma, when they teach us they call it the tulsa race riots and they only talk about it for barely a day. You wouldn't believe all of the "not racist" people who stand by it being a riot and even saying we are rioting right now when we are peacefully protesting 🙄
Christina M. Cayton she said it in the video
I’ve never heard it called a riot
Bailey your words and personal feelings at the end of this video almost have me in tears. The black community needs more allies like you. We need more people to educate themselves and open their eyes and you are one that I would happily trust to fight for and with us through this ongoing struggle. Thank you for sharing this. Even I have learned more details about this horrific event. Black lives matter.
💜💜💜💜
I’m a teacher. I’m doing my best to bring black authors into my cannon, as well as shed light on bullying, the plight of women in history, and other cultures. I’m not the only one! We r trying, really trying. The best way to make a change is to educate our next generation. Hang in there sister ♥️
@@kristenkincak8884 thank you🙏🏿as a black boy it means a lot
Who else just loves Monday’s because of bailey?! ❤️ May I also add that I’m so proud that you hit 1Mil! You deserve it because of all the work you put into your videos!
Yes ❤️
me
Meeeee!!!!
mee
i was so sad because there wasn’t a new video last week
Thank you for this, Bailey. My parents were born in Tulsa in the '50s and lived there until leaving for college, and my sister and I went to college in Oklahoma. None of us learned about this until just a few years ago. It's so insane that atrocities of this scale could be covered up for so long.
There a great documentary on PBS about the Tulsa Race Massacre that also talks about the efforts to find mass graves using sonar.
That’s crazy! I know more about CA because I live here so now I wonder.
*learns more about events in people’s history from Bailey than I ever did from school*
Or they’re not allowed to teach it because it’s “anti-American” and that’s why critical race theory is such a hot topic right now.
And I actually want to listen lol
@@jeng6458 this to I went to pearl publish school (luke woodam) any mention of that shooting got us in a funk load of trouble and it's happened when in 1997 I was born in 95 we where simple wanting to know what happened to basically put the whole school on a permanent lock down
Same
@@jeng6458 well dont forget that dem. party started the jym cro laws
The fact that they've tried so hard to hide these events just shows that they knew all along that they where in the wrong.
They know they're in the wrong, don't want to acknowledge the atrocities they did, pretend they were justified, ACTIVELY SILENCE ATTEMPTS TO GET THIS INFORMATION OUT, and brush off anything they don't like that doesn't fit their pro-white image.
The government is trying to erase most historical events that occurred in this country. I’d never heard of this and sadly the kids of our future probably won’t know either along with the civil war. Look at all the statues that have been torn down due to the lack of knowledge and the attempt to keep most large scale events buried. It’s sad really. History books are being reprinted with certain things deleted... 😔
They did a great job at covering it up and hiding it because most of Oklahomans didn't learn about this until they went to college if they were lucky. I grew up in muskogee about an hour from tulsa and I never heard about it till college.
The sad part is they don't think they did anything wrong. Just very very sad
I am As what is known in the south is a *Yankee* (NORTHERN)I must say I am ashamed of the southernersTHEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS HORRIFIC SITUATION AN, I AM A YANKEE AN AM AGAINST ANY RACIAL SEGREGATION THE SOUTH HAS ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN FOR ITS RACISM WHICH IS SICKENING
I don't even know what to say except I'm disgusted. Absolutely disgusted.
Agreed. It’s hard for me to even finish this video because it just makes me so disgusted and angry.
Same
@@bloodstrxwberrymilk1833I literally have no words. All I feel is disgust. I don’t want to understand why they did what they did. I just want them to start to make things right. People are people. We are all the same bones and organs under our skin. We are all human. But the whites that did this…. Those weren’t people… they were Monsters.💔🤬😭
Bailey, you really should be a history school teacher. You explain things in a way that holds peoples attention and educate on history events that we never heard about in school! Yes, I'm watching these videos 3 years later
I literally love how ur teaching so much more history than high school ever taught me.. I feel like a lot of these times in history were left out in school. I wonder why 🤔
I seriously don’t know why I’m from Oklahoma and was barely taught about this until 8th grade and was in my reading class and we read a book that was fictional but around the event
That's because it's HIStory. HIS story, the White man's version of the story.
They only "teach" us what they want us to know.
trying to cover up how disgusting our history actually is and they teach us a wonderbread version of the truth
The fact that I’m finding out about this now, Is disturbing.
I know. I didn’t learn about this until college.
This isn't the first time something like this has happened so it went into the "same old, same old" box. People usually don't bring up things like that
I used to not understand about why ppl didn’t understand our pain, truth is they didn’t know. No one told them...
Growing up i went to a predominantly white school black history was rarely covered my cousins would talk about having African American histroy class and I was lucky if they covered MLK and rosa parks in February.
Exactly and I’m black!
“They were punished for succeeding” this hit so hard 😥 how awful really enough is enough
I am watching in January of 22....a year after this video was filmed. Bailey is thanking subscribers for reaching 1 million subscribers. A year later she has over 6 million. ❤
Same. It's almost unreal but very well deserved
I am almost 56 years old and this was never taught in any history class. My son is in high school and was never taught about this. Thank you for bringing the horror of this massacre to light. We need education to tell ALL of our history ACCURATELY!
Swedish Metal no it won’t you sound dumb
Swedish Metal just dumb
@@AshPlaysHorror not dumb, wilfully ignorant.
But I'd love to see you cite your sources.
Swedish Metal if you’re going to tell a story TELL IT RIGHT THEY WANT GET RID OF the HISTORY requirement and REPLACE IT WITH a civics requirement. Since the history that is taught is subjective.
“Hey how are you? Did you miss me?”
Me: Is that even a question at this point OF COURSE I DID
---------------
congrats on 1 million!!!!! I’m so proud of you Bailey I’m so glad I found ur channel a while back ❤️ also I am so happy that u are using ur platform for BLM awareness 😊
I appreciate you talking about this bailey. I was never taught this in school and am very angry that it took so long for me and many others to learn of this, this isn't something that should be swept under the rug. I appreciate you using your platform to speak about black injustices❤✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Agreed! I'm 50 and never knew this even happened till a few days ago. I'm questioning all my "history lessons" now and doing a deep dive into the US's history against POC myself!
Yeah allot of the true black history I know I had to learn myself it’s so frustrating how in school we were only taught about the select few black injustices but not the full true history ☹️Black Wall Street was a powerful time and I never learned it in school not even during black history month smh 😪
Same! I’m 19 and I only just learned about this recently from social media. The internet rlly does teach us more than our schools ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼
I am ashamed to say I had never heard of this and I am almost 50. It definitely was not taught in school. What a shame!
Js, you have nothing to be ashamed of because 1. You did nothing 2. You were not alive.
Am I sad that it happened, of course, but I nor you own what happened.
It's not your fault that you hadn't heard about this before. The important part is that you listened when you learned about it, and will hopefully pass this knowledge on to others.
as someone who lives in tulsa and grew up outside of the city and was never taught about this at school i was enraged to learn about this in my early 20's. hopefully your STUNNING video teaches more people about this terrible event
I don’t think that I just speak for myself when I say that as a Black woman, seeing the emotion in your face and the way you delivered this video just made me love you as a sister in arms even more. I TOO have heard ignorant assed people say “Well why don’t they just make their own neighborhoods?” and it boils my blood to no end. I love all of your videos, but this one hit a little different for me in my soul! THANK you for reiterating that they were treated as if their 👏🏾lives 👏🏾didn’t 👏🏾MATTER, hence why we say Black Lives Matter over and over and OVER again. It’s exhausting and this story upsets me every time I hear it, but your delivery was so beautiful and heartfelt. Sending you the biggest hugs and love from Hawaii🤗🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗🤗
This!!!
Words spoken right out my mouth 👏👏👏👏
I’m tears to this comment. It’s so true. Black lives didn’t matter, especially back then. I think this is such a great point to the “black lives matter”. I will say that I believe that most people that say “all lives matter” aren’t racist, just uneducated.
I hear ya. Bailey is for justice❤
I too share this same sentiment. Thank you for being an ally!❤
I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of the theme song 😂😂👏🏽
Same lol😄
Bailey in the spirit of BLM and the topic at hand, you should totally cover Emmitt Till.
When I learned about Emmitt Till in school I kept having to take breaks because what I was reading was sickening. I actually started crying. One of the worst things I've ever heard
Took me a lot of searching to even find a book about Emmitt Till. That story broke me. I really hope Bailey does this story.
I too started crying and did not go to school for a few days after
@The Boss Lady What’s funny about BLM?
@The Boss Lady sheer ignorance.
"fun" fact: Virginia and several other states still have Jim Crow laws actively on the books. They're not enforced, but they still exist, here in 2020.
What laws exactly?
Wow that’s disgusting ! Thank you for sharing .
Yep I live in Virginia. It’s a lot more racist than other states think. Can’t wait to move
Pippetandpossum I just googled some info type in “Jim crow laws still on the books”
Very true they told us about it in school I just can’t remember which ones it was
Anyone else sing along with her when she's doing the THEME SONG

''did you miss me?'' girl, the sun didn't shine for 2 weeks! welcome back and congrats to a million- if someone deserves it, it's you!
Love that shes using her platform for such important knowlege to be bought to light!!!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I love her so much and she made me even happier knowing that she is using her platform to inform people of the injustice poc went through. She is by far my favorite TH-camr ever 🎉💖
IM FLIPPING OUT THAT SHE LIKED MY COMMENT!!! AHHHHHH 😂😂
Born and raised Oklahoman here, I went to a small school, my senior class was 11😂 my history teacher taught us about this. We spent a week on it, it wasn’t a little blip in one day. We spent so much time going in great detail. She even had names of some of the people who were killed and some who survived and we learned about them too, not just ”oh this happened.” She made us see that this happened to people just like us.
I lived in a small town next to the OK border for many years. Never heard of this. I’m willing to bet well over 90% of Americans haven’t been taught this in school.
Also born and raised in Oklahoma. Lived in a small town and NEVER was taught about this. Not even in undergrad at my Oklahoma college.
What a great teacher.
I’m not black nor white but the fact that Bailey made this video as her “thank you for 1Mil sub” video , and just the details and contents of this video gives many viewers a great history lesson, so real and unbiased , I love her more❤️
That was my feeling from video too.
I agree💕✌️
This is exactly why I or my future children will never fight for this country , it doesn’t fight for us . But I’m glad you recognize the problem you’re awesome ❤️❤️
I grew up in Tulsa and was NEVER taught about this in school. I didnt learn about it until i was an adult. It’s insane.
I grew up in durant and I've never heard anything about this
I am also from Durant OK ive heard a little of this but only from my own research.
Weird because I grew up in Tulsa and it was taught... so
@Keisha Williams what reason would I have to lie?
@@leandracariker9574 what school did you attend? And when did you graduate? I went to a Christian school (first problem) and never heard about it until i was an adult and they started looking fir the mass graves.
“Punished for succeeding” is such an accurate way to say it.
As a born and raised tulsan, this one was especially hard. My great grandma owned a hair salon on greenwood at the time. She lost everything but her life that night. As a hairdresser myself I hope to open the shop back up and back in the family one day♥️😥
As a fellow Oklahoman im rooting for u girl! When that time comes (even though i dont know u i believe u can make it happen) I want to be amongst the first customers!
So please educate me a lil more please . Does the movie Rosewood depict Greenwood?
Can we start a Go Fund Me?
I hope you can!
@@mrscoffman4000 Rosewood was in Florida.
I LOVE that she did this video! I've never even heard of this, which is sad.
I can't believe how fast her fan base has grown since I started watching her. I love her channel so much, and I'm so happy we as a fan base have grown so much! Her videos really give me something to look forward to.
I’m from Tulsa so seeing this get coverage makes me so happy.
Same my guy
Were you taught about this in school?
My grandmother was 7 when this happened. She lived in Wybark. In Muscogge County.
Same. And I didn't even learn about this til I was an adult.
@simplynautica they purposely didn’t teach us.
Its so sad, how they didn’t talk about this in school..
I started at the beginning of the series and this is where I'm at. Other episodes have made me sick to my stomach, but I've never cried. This episode hurt my spirit and made me bawl. I had never heard of this, I knew horrible things happened but something of this magnitude to not be told is beyond words.
I also want to thank you for a subtle thing I noticed. In other videos you have said if it's too much to leave and skip this one we'll see you next week. But this one you never gave that option. We have to learn of the horrors of the past to know better and do better for our future. Thank you
I'm repeating myself - this episode put a hole in my heart.
It’s crazy how in school they tell us we need to learn about history or we will repeat it but then whitewash a whole textbook and teach it to kids
Literally that’s probably the main reason why I want to study History. I want the kids to know the truth about those “white heroes” and help minority kids know their history. I’m tired of this whitewashed textbooks we read
yes but i realize this is AMERICA unfortunately
Absolutely. Actually they really only teach you about white men. Women and people of color have been written out of history at least in American schools.
It’s because some history the system wants us to repeat. 🤦🏽♀️
Truth. We need to keep the evidence around or else they can make it fade away and be forgotten. We need to take all these statues and put them somewhere. Don't keep it alive but keep it as proof.
As a person who is from Oklahoma, I can honestly say I NEVER learned about this in school. Not in grade school, not in high school, and not even in college. I'm so glad you brought this story to your platform. ❤
I’m from Tulsa and we learned about it in like 5th grade but they really watered it down and called it “the tulsa fires”
Is intentionally left out of textbooks like many other things
This!!! To graduate, they made us take an Oklahoma history class but left this completely out!! It’s so sad and wrong.
Same. Learned it from twitter when I was 20. It’s deplorable.
Right!!! I went to high school in Sallisaw, my ex husband went to college in Tulsa so we lived there and I NEVER heard of this until recently! Smdh
I grew up in Oklahoma, and this history wasn't taught. It's like, "oh, don't look over here...*sweep sweep*"
Agreed I still live here and I never learned about it in high school or college
fr ? i do too & its taught in high school .
Same. I was never taught this. Oklahoma history class never mentioned this
I grew up in and currently live in Oklahoma and never learned about this in school. It was never mentioned, even in my Oklahoma History class.
FACTS
I loved how passionate you were about this.. I could definitely hear it in your voice. It moved me. So sad how us humans can act sometimes.
Tulsa is just one of the communities that was destroyed by racists and their hatred. There are numerous. Another little known fact is beautiful Central Park in New York was once a thriving black community called Seneca Village. My people have been in mourning for the past 400 years.. I thank you for using your platform to shed a bright light on this countries history.
Yes true
Rosewood Florida was another black community where there was a massacre of African Americans in 1923. There is a culture of silence concerning this incident.
Coming from Scotland we grow up with very little of this in history, it needs to be more widely communicated and educated, we learnt about the rabbit proof fence when in history class, Other horrendous things should be reported accurately so we can all be aware of what the past really was
America isn't that old
@@MW-uk5ji Roanoke was established in 1587 which was 433 years ago. The US as we know it is 244 years old, but African slaves were in the US way before that.
I’m born and raised in Oklahoma... I’m 26 and NEVER learned about this in school! I remember my pawpaw telling me about it but nothing from the schools.
Same here not even in Oklahoma history class
same. I knew about it, but did not learn one thing about it in school.
Same here, didn’t hear anything about it until college, and that was from another student. (College was also in Oklahoma)
Born & raised in Oklahoma. Learned this at 33.....5 years ago.
I’m 21, born and raised in Oklahoma, and did not learn about it in high school either.
“We have to educate ourselves and we have to do better!” Yes I love you bailey
3 years later and she now has 7.02 million subscribers I’m so proud of her❤😊🎉
If it helps, I am a 4th/5th grade teacher in Ohio. My students are doing black history informational writing this month and after randomly clicking on this video, I added it to my list of suggestions. One of my very strong black students has been researching this and is SO excited to teach the other students about it!
it always gives me so much to hear about wonderful teachers like you who go above and beyond the required curriculum. you are shaping tomorrow’s minds to be not only knowledgeable, but also empathetic, and to break down the prejudices of past generations. thank you for all that you do.
As a history department chair, I did introduce this massacre to my students. It was not in any "approved" history book but needed to be studied. You nailed this and I thank you!
👏👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿
Kudos to you. 🙏🏽
I wish I had more teachers like you 🖤
Thank you!
"They are punished for being successful" Sad.
😢
I read your comment at the exact moment Bailey was saying that...chills
I've just watched this 3 years after being uploaded, now 7.3 million subscribers.
I love how you approach sensitive topics!
This story breaks my heart. Here I am an almost 30 year old white women never heard this story. I was never taught this is school. Why is this not being taught!? THIS NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT IT IS APART OF HISTORY!
I’m right there with you. 30yo and I’ve never heard of this. This ends! We must teach our children!
I graduated highschool in Texas in 2014. I only learned about this horrible event the beginning of this year when we moved to none the less than Tulsa, OK. :(
It happened in other states as well. There were several black wall streets.
ZOE PATE I’m a Oklahoma high school graduate, and sadly I did not learn about Greenwood/ Black Wall Street until going to college out of state.
I was taught this in school, I am not sure why some folks are not or were not.
I’m so glad you’re doing a video on this! The historical context the Tulsa Massacre has is unbelievable. It’s not taught in schools and the fact that you acknowledge the importance of covering this case is much appreciated! Thank you Bailey! ❤️
The real question is WHY arent stories like this in American History textbooks or classrooms??
Like Bailey said, its uncomfortable to talk about but needs to be said.
Grew up in Oklahoma and I'm native American and jewish. We are taught this in school. More than the holocaust and more than the trail of tears in school
because we don't like to talk about the atrocities that we have committed.
I also think one class is not enough to cover every inch of history that we would like to learn. Thats why we touch on it but dont have the time to learn extensively about it. I dont think its that they arent trying to educate us about it there is just so much history to cram in a few classes.
You know why.
It’s absolutely horrible but it’s because the government wants to shield the information that we learned as a child so they can mold brainless automatons as human beings that they can mold and shape to do what they want. It’s absolutely awful! I didn’t learn about any of this until college, I actually hated history when I was in high school we didn’t learn about anything interesting or impactful and a half of the stuff we learned wasn’t even true! Our government is doing a terrible job.. Isn’t there a line in the constitution stating that if the government isn’t governing the people that we should throw off such government (I don’t remember the exact line but you see what I’m getting at)
100 years later it’s growing and more awareness is being brought about. It’s beautiful and I suggest people make a trip to Tulsa Oklahoma to learn more!
It's absolutely horrifying that history can be erased like this.
It is still happening. Rioters today are tearing down history as we speak.
Deanne Labayen you may have missed the point of the comment
It is even worse that you cannot trust Wikepedia.....since it can be changed at anyone's whims.
