Indeed. Baldwin and to a lesser extent TNC have been saying some variation of this for a long time. That racism, anti black racism is endemic to the foundation of this country and that even though the slaves were free they used a dizzying variation of Black codes to ensure subjugation. If we are lazy we are genetic…

There were a number of similar events throughout the country in the late 1910s and early 1920s- Knoxville, Chicago, Omaha, counties in Texas, Arkansas, etc. The KKK was also near its peak of power during that time. While there were white casualties and property damage, African American casualties and property damage…

We already know. We have a Chinatown in every city in America.

“Nelly and Eminem were big when this occurred :)”.

“Who said that he was the biggest dealer?” Um— you. :D :D :D

“Who said that he was the biggest dealer?” Who knew you wouldn’t get hyperbole or sarcasm? :D :D :D :D

Quick question: why don’t you know what an apostrophe is? :D :D :D

And if that was the Facebook page of Dallas County’s biggest and baddest weed supplier, I’m Nancy Botwin. :D :D :D Thanks again, Professor Coke! :D :D :D :D :D

It is worth noting the Mayor is actively encouraging citizens to come and witness the scans as they are done.

:D :D :D :D

As tragic and criminal as what happened to Black Wall Street (not to mention other successful Black communities during the early 20th century), the mere existence of a thriving economy created by and for Black people is possible. Imagine if the money we spend as a collective was primarily put into Black-owned…

What the fuck do you think a “political lense” is, wordsmith, and when are you going to move past mental adolescence?🙄🙄

Actual evidence, who needs it??🙄I mean, you can just take the word of a stranger in an Internet comment section identifying as “don’tchokeonyourcoke.”🙄

Links? Evidence? Copy-and-paste? :D You were so fond of it earlier, and I’m sure I don’t need to tell a researcher of your caliber that Joshua Brown is a fairly common name, in Dallas alone...

I wonder what would have happened if Greenwood was left to flourish instead of just another atrocity. If white people werent so hateful and decided that sitting under a lynched black body picnicking wasnt enough but but slaughtering innocents and burning down a whole town was the sweet spot. There would have been many…

The question of where those mass graves are located has never been resolved. Mayor Bynum said last year that the city is obligated to find out.

I’m originally from Tulsa, and my guess is to make sure it’s actively acknowledged by the city and community, because they most definitely don’t like to to talk about it. The Oklahoma City Bombing has a big memorial, and moment of silence in schools. Meanwhile, this massacre gets a mention in Oklahoma history class,…

It all makes sense now but I wasn’t going to speculate anything. Unlike most people nowadays I try to avoid it

I don’t know if anyone else caught it but the mayor of Tulsa said mass GRAVES. As in plural.

He was never convicted for dealing drugs, its not like someone advertises it on Linken so maybe its possible, they didn’t know he was a drug dealer??
