The US is divided into roughly 50 mostly sovereign countries. For me, a Kentuckian to focus on this Oklahoma event as requiring some sort of change is like the French being told they need to atone for what Germany did to Jews, Gypsies, et al in the 30’s an 40’s.

Sorry, but not my cross to bear. In fact, 25 years ago Oklahoma addressed it:

“In 1996, 75 years after the massacre, a bipartisan group in the state legislature authorized the formation of the Oklahoma Commission to Study the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921. The commission’s final report, published in 2001, states that the city had conspired with the mob of White citizens against Black citizens; it recommended a program of reparations to survivors and their descendants. The state passed legislation in order to establish scholarships for the descendants of survivors, encourage the economic development of Greenwood, and develop a park in memory of the victims of the massacre in Tulsa. The park was dedicated in 2010. In 2020, the massacre became a part of the Oklahoma school curriculum.

The black race baiters are becoming like the blackmailer than comes back every so often for more money.

Interesting how the riot was mostly forgotten until REPARATIONS were mentioned. Now every slight for the past 300 years is suddenly on the front page.

I first learned of the riot from a book I found in the Tulsa County Library back in 1970.

But if you REALLY want to get the Reparations bug going look at Indian Territory in 1842, when the black slaves in Oklahoma revolted against their Cherokee and Creek Indian owners.

This story was no where near national news until Trump went to Tulsa last year and the race hustlers brought it up to smear him.
