Greenwood in Tulsa wasn't killed off by the riots, but by integration and government policies

I used to troll st0rmfr0nt when I was in middle school. Every know and then, yall make threads that can pulled from site. This one of them. Of course, those devils had more links and data "proving" the races where better off separated. At least yall posted Malcolm to back you up:mjlol:

cuz it wasn’t equal . If it was equal , and you object to segregation ... you might be a house slave

All of that still existed after integration though. I grew up in a black neighborhood. And had black doctors and dentists. And went to Sunday dinner at black owned restaurants.

Where did you grow up where that wasn’t possible?

Not everybody is born in the south breh

I think it’s important that we frame these discussions properly. If you live in a all white neighborhood don’t lecture us about the state of the black community.

Instead of crying for a return to segregation like an idiot you could get up and move where the rest of your people are.

you’re doing a lot of presuming.

again, if the place where you live isn’t right you either improve it or leave.

not wish for the days of Jim Crow.

How common was that? Especially in the 80s. And no one said it wasn't possible. I'm just saying a lot of those types of influences left as soon as they could

Something is off here. What about the great migration after the massacres? Most of these Black people had to flee to the Northern parts.






the great migration was away from the rural south, to cities. Tulsa may seem southern, but it was a new city, and Oklahoma was a new state, and the first wave of black people into Oklahoma was an effort to build a black majority and shape the laws of the new state. Tulsa was a city black people moved to

I don't like dwelling on the past too much. What's stopping us from creating a black wall street today?

learn from history or be doomed:francis:

Thread off of saying the Tulsa massacre wasnt that bad to Black ppl really didnt have it that rough in the South. I've seen where this is going before. Slavery was a choice:wow: We still slaves:wow:

retarded responses like this convince me some nikkas are playing for the other team

come on man, none of that existed at anywhere close to that extent, because we were pushed to want to be part of the cac world

I grew up in southeastern Queens, the top black middle class enclave of NYC. you'd never see anyone living in the neighborhood or walking down the street who wasn't black, but there were still far more arab corner stores, Indian franchisees and Chinese food spots than black owned anything. and even though there was a solid amount of money there, how much of it do you think was spent within the community?

Segregation was bad but integration took so much from our communities. You had black doctors, business owners, teachers, etc. Black everything. Imagine growing up around that in the 70s and 80s instead of drug dealers and crack heads.


The thing people don’t talk about is classism
That existed among us. People taking about integration but the reality is the black doctor did not associate with the black janitor or mechanic

mid prefer if you answered my question.

What area did you grow up on where it wasn’t possible to have a Black community?

I grew up in the DMV so the idea that segregation is needed for Black people to have nice things doesn’t ring true with what I see on a daily basis.

Where are you from?
