Today is the 93 Yr Anniversary of the Tulsa Oklahoma (Black WallStreet) Race Riots.

[Knicksman20]

The sad thing is, this wasn't the only "black Wall Street" either. We used to have many all around the country during that time. But many went the fate of Tusla (riots and integration). One of them was in Durham NC.

Very true. I hope all of you Bruh's read this article & spread this around the next time white people talk about us not being able to "pull ourselves up from poverty". This will shut them down quickly:

As a child, my grand dad witnessed the strange fruit in OK.

Not even Ogletree at Harvard in 2008 could get reparations for THAT bombing. :-/

God bless America (land that I love).

I too didn't know anything about this until my sister put me on game and made me watch the rosewood movie.

A lot of white people want to label today's blacks as being savages. They fail to remember their own violent past.

They remember, but they simply don't view us as humans, thus they believe there is a difference. When whites are violent, they assign a noble justification to their savagery. They call it rugged individualism. When they slaughtered the natives, it was the American frontier and the beginning of American exceptionalism. When blacks are violent, it is because we are from the jungle, savages who lack a civilized outlook. They are human, while we are animals.

They remember all too well.

White people are savages and sociopaths.

They do not see us as human beings. They don't want us to receive equality, equity, freedom or justice.

They chastise us for our condition, erase all context and systematically keep us at the bottom.

And then we have c00ns who parrot the same black pathology nonsense.

c00ns are a bigger issue than Whites.

Our inability to organize for economic empowerment has led to our continued demise.

Good god.

couldn't rebuild it because of integration and wanting to do business with, share resources, and circulate money with demons....also known as crakkers.

not being about to rebuild had nothing to do with the burning, fires, killings etc..... we rebuilt many differnt black wallstreets multiple times.

I don't see Black capitalism as a solution but only as means to build power.

I see it as the Spook that say by the door.

Getting education, certs, gaining wealth for the purposes of building armies, buying land, controlling resources for the purposes of warfare, nation building and nation management.

Dr. John Henrik Clarke talked about this all the time.

You need resources to gain and wield power.

And build the egalitarian society we deserve.
