I changed the wikipedia article to reflect that, we’ll see if it sticks or “miraculously” reverts back...

One more thing. I’d bet that locally in Tulsa people do commemorate this incident. Another part of why we don’t nationally or as a whole commemorate a lot of things is because the few of us who are fortunate enough to actually know these things happened are also separated from the rest of us. We’re purposefully a…

You must have gotten the same asshole responding to me like hateful white people have never lied about their reason for killing black people.

We do, but usually regionally. But, it is also an essential function of white supremacy to deny us our history and culture. We were deliberately, under threat of death, the moment they took us captive and brought us here, denied our languages, our cultural practices, our religions, and our history. Most of us don’t…

I think the difference is religion. There is a need in the Judaeo-Christian religions to maintain their narratives in order to maintain their religion’s relevance. It doesn’t matter that there is absolutely no archaeological evidence of the Israelites being enslaved in Ancient Egypt, it’s a compelling mythology that…

Right, it makes it sound like there was two equal opposing sides—which there most certainly wasn’t.

I attended Jewish Seder a couple of years back with an associate. Hosting was an Iranian-Jewish real estate mogul, the mayor of the city and various family members of all generations. What struck me about the event was the detail and respect paid to the tradition, but also the amount of emotion put into different…

wikipedia calls it the tulsa race riot.  that is . . .  not an accurate description

And after they did that the GOP collectively went “ok. Now let’s convince them that they don’t need healthcare,” the cycle then repeats itself with some new “idea”, we all suffer, and the apocalypse starts looking better and better.

It’s funny. These fucks are always delivering the message than educated, namby-pamby elites are ruining America. College is for dorks, and feminazis and gays! You don’t need that shit! We’ll bring back coal, so you can mine it! And save farming somehow, and get you your job back at the Ford factory! Real hard work…

Racism clouds the mind. They’re so stupid from the combination of the brainwashing and the absolute refusal to learn anything new ever that they can’t think that far into the future.   It’s like their frontal lobes have been permanently damaged.

Well, looking at and hearing the people at Trump’s rallies it is hard to argue that money spent on public education in some parts of this country has indeed been a colossal waste!

I don’t think this was appropriate at all.

I would’ve waited for the, “does anyone here object to this union,” part of the vows, but otherwise I’m fully down with what the protesters did here.

You kill someone in a cowardly way while wearing a badge, you no longer are afforded the luxuries in life that you took away from another human being.

If any of my loved ones were murdered and the person was still walking free you better believe I will haunt that person like a ghost. Wherever they go I’ll be there reminding them of what they did and the pain it caused me.

“As a black man in the community, I’m concerned whenever there’s injustice on any black person, certainly there’s a right to protest, but I think there are limits when to protest in a public place and the right of privacy for your wedding,” Michael Keeley said.”

First line of their statement: The SPOA supports transparency within our Police Department.

Look forward to the day when Hollywood makes a grand biopic about this brave, beautiful, Black woman who was shockingly assassinated in her prime fighting for the poor and the defenseless. Wonder will it be Angelina Jolie that gets to portray her or Emma Stone?

He is the second one of the Ferguson protesters to die under funny circumstances that I have heard of. This is not coincidence.
