I agree to reparations. They should come from the Democrat Party. This was the party that destroyed black businesses in Tulsa in 1921.

As tragic are the deaths surrounding the Tulsa massacre, I would not say that that’s the worst chapter of forced death in American History.

The deaths that occurred when civilized Indian tribes were forced from their homes in Georgia and marched to Oklahoma, in what is known as the Trail of Tears, resulted in THOUSANDS dying on the way, and shortly thereafter from disease.

These Indians were not nomad warlike savages. They were civilized and lived peaceably in their communities.

Forcing them from their homes was American racism at it’s worst.
