To further besmirch Trump and make his supporters angry and unhappy.

Sounds like a murder-suicide.

“None, not one, of these black leftists have ever given a single reason for declaring Trump a racist.”

++++

And if you look at stories that were written prior to 2015, you will find glowing stories, and even awards, given to Trump for his involvement in the black community. He was only declared “racist” after he won the GOP nomination.

“Its crazy that congress made Juneteenth (a day no one cares about) a national holiday simply out of spite for Trump.”

Juneteenth was a cool TEXAS deal that local blacks liked and other Texans respected. It had both a serious side and a semi-humorous casual social aspect. But like all good things, SOCIALISTS can’t leave things alone and have totally messed it up. That it has become a national holiday is ridiculous.

Gamble Smith was president of the Black Wall Street Chamber of Commerce, named after Tulsa's Greenwood commercial district — an area of concentrated Black wealth — that white rioters burned in 1921. Up to 300 Black Tulsa residents were killed, and t he area never recovered.

There is your problem right there. Over 100 years and the area has never recovered.

But many of us here on FR remember that Julius and Ethyl Rosenberg were executed for treason on Juneteenth, we can celebrate that.

The Young Turks will blame Trump.

They blame Trump for Comey’s IRS audit

A “race riot” that most historical accounts say was started by blacks when they tried to break a black kid out of jail. The “official” accounts have always said only a small number of blacks died. The 300 number is of recent origin. For the past few years, a group had been digging up huge sections of Tulsa cemeteries the blacks claim hold mass graves where supposed black victims were buried to hide the true number killed. To date, no mass graves have been found. Only about 15 bodies in unmarked graves that cannot be connected to the “riot.” But they keep digging.

The first thing everyone needs to understand about the so-called “Tulsa Massacre” is that is was not a massacre.

“The published report of the arrest of a Negro boy charged with an attempted assault on a white woman occasioned little comment among the white people who fully expected the law to take its course in the matter. Unfortunately, a group of Negros from the Negro section of the city, who according to facts developed after an investigation, had been worked upon by a lawless element of white agitators, reds and. bolshevists and who had been badly advised by members of their own race, were lead to believe that mob violence threatened the Negro prisoner who was in the custody of the sheriff at the county jail”

Tulsa Tribune’s comment on riot June 1

The second thing is that the “Black Wall Street” was a mix of reputable and disreputable establishments.

“The Negroes were driven back towards their section of the town and half a block of business structures on North Cincinnati between the Frisco railroad and Archer Street, which section had been occupied by Negro pool halls, and other disreputable lins of business, and by restaurants, broke into flames. The Negroes who had taken refuge in these buildings were in a hot battle with the armed whites and were driven farther north to Greenwood, the principal Negro business street of the city, which was soon in flames.”

Knock it off on the Trump angle. The deceased must have known something about Hillary.

” a city known as the site of one of the nation’s deadliest white-on-Black mob attacks”

News to me. When I think of OKC it’s cowboys, oil and and Timothy McVeigh.

I heard it was a black elevator operator accused of raping a woman. Who the hell knows.

They’ve been trying to find bodies but they haven’t found squat evidence.

It’s all reparations.

It has been a holiday in Texas since about 1865.
