Well, think back. That riot was caused by the report of a black elevator operator attacking a white girl. Right or wrong, Tulsa Blew up!
Now, why is it that we don’t see this violent reaction today from whites when the worst kind of violence is done against them? Wichita? Knoxville? Knockout games? “This is for Trayvon!” Towns have burned for less, but not any more.
Look at Detroit. It blew up in the 1960s. What did the whites do? They did not riot, they got up and left, taking all their investment with them.
Now days a person of ANY RACE cannot walk down the street in some cities without fearing for their life because of feral thugs or another gang on the lose.
In the last few years there have been several rapes and murders of non-blacks by black thugs in Tulsa. Yet the city has not blown up. It is a credit to the people that they have not. Now, just WHAT can we do to make Tulsa as safe as it was in 1923. Turn your back? Put on rose colored glasses? Say “we” deserve it for the sins of the past? Come on! what can you do?
I just got back from Tulsa a couple of hours ago from visiting my daughter. She lives near the Pink Elephant on Yale. Thirty years ago it was safe to walk the area. Now several people have been raped and others murdered in this once safe area.
I kinda shot from my hip....
My apologies.
