Just In: Black Wall Street survivors' case struck down by OK Supreme Court

[ORDER_66]

The thread was about the descendants, the descendants can't sue.
Judge Caroline Wall from this 2023 article is from the judicial district of Tulsa:

Judge dismisses lawsuit seeking reparations for the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre

An Oklahoma judge has thrown out a lawsuit seeking reparations for the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, dashing an effort to obtain some measure of legal justice by survivors of the deadly racist rampage.

The nine member court mentioned in the OP made a state decision, not a district decision.

Oklahoma Supreme Court dismisses lawsuit of last Tulsa Race Massacre survivors seeking reparations

The Oklahoma Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit of the last two survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre who were seeking reparations.

Means the case got to the state's supreme court... above the district court where the case was thrown out.

That means the case was appealed to be reviewed by the highest court in the state. The case moved up.
The district judge's decision was challenged on the state level, and the state's decision can be appealed by a higher court.
Since it has been struck down... if I recall from studying law, the case can still be appealed on a federal level.

Which means... this case can reach the Supreme Court and set a federal precedent for reparations.

So this case has been getting struck down and appealed for at least two years, and it has been moving up the legal chain of command every time it's been struck down because it's being appealed.


Once the trial gets to the Supreme Court, a previous case can be used to get reparations this time:

This is not the L you think it is... if the survivors die before the case gets to the Supreme Court or during trial then the case dies.

Do you know how the courts work?

Dude I'm not talking about the actual court case I'm talking about the fact that we already discussed this with this very outcome that's all I'm saying... nothing more nothing less...

None of y'all don't feel someone goading us into being angry about this story why is the white media reposting this old story that already happened???

Say breh, you've been putting forth that pro blackness is the meaning behind part of how you post on here - that's to say, you have the best interests of black people in mind right? If that's a yes, then I ask, is this not upsetting that the Oklahoma State Supreme Court is striking down reparations for a group of black people? This means they won't get any tangibles. You don't have any anger about such a thing?

Jesus fukking Christ... I'm only talking about this actual court case outcome that's it nothing more nothing less I already explained to the poster above that this case the media is blasting this again when we already discussed it. It has nothing to do with my politics. Its about the media posting the story that ALREADY HAPPENED... That's my umbridge
Edit: if this was an appeal that the white female judge tossed OUT TOO then please say so.

That thread is about July of last year's verdict.This thread is about the verdict from the Supreme Court today, not a lower court judge who ruled last year.

77% of Black Americans – compared with 18% of White Americans – support reparations for descendants of enslaved people

Wait, so you're upset that the media is again informing people that reparations were struck down?

Yes and no I thought this was the case about that female judge striking it down with prejudice that's what I was confused over... this IS a new situation. I was wrong I'm sorry my bad. I made a mistake. But alas I'm not surprised in the least with this outcome...

The case can reach the Supreme Court as long as the survivors are alive.

If you're expecting the United States to take responsibility, look at what they are doing to other nations right now.

They'll never do what they should.

They are at war against anything they deem to be a threat.

what the does a ruling by the oklahoma supreme court have to do with trump?

 

[BlackMajik]

Only thing that surprises me about this list is that only 77% of blacks support it.

I'm pretty sure a lot of that 33% who say no are not Black American

You think those Justices Trump appointed are going to green light this?
There's legal precedent to get reparations, so what will the Supreme Court ignore the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 that gave Japanese internment survivors reparations while denying Black people reparations for Greenwood?

If the Greenwood survivors get reparations as victims of white supremacy, it could be argued the descendants of slavery are entitled to reparations as victims of systematic anti-black white supremacy if this kind of systematic racism can be proven in a court of law. This case can made a stronger case for reparations.
