Agree bro. 😊😆😀😁
Bravo for this woman judge!
Sick of this garbage.
This is where Juneteenth started, which the Federal government glomped onto. It’s awful what happened to the black people in North Tulsa, but a precedent for reparations should not be started. There is no one living who caused the riot, and just as the descendants of the blacks involved are not responsible, neither are the descendants of any whites involved in the riots responsible. No one is responsible for their ancestor’s actions.
Was this state of federal court?
The Democratic Party of Oklahoma should definitely pay it all.
What other kind of survivor is there?
First, I’m bleached white. As right wing conservative as they come. But if there was ever a case where reparations are in order...it’s Tulsa. This was flat out murder and destruction of U.S. citizens by citizens, local government, and maybe federal as well....I know they used WW1 planes to drop fire bombs at a minimum. Then tried to lie and cover it up. We’re talking 1920s or 30s. No civilized society does this. It’s a horrible sin and injustice, and it needs rectified. I’m dead set against the other reparations, but this one needs to be made right with those still living and possible very next of kin. God forgive us as a people for this.
Someone who had survived the massacre but then died from some other cause before the present time.

Yah, this is absolutely nothing more than scum sucking lawyers going after their fee.
I suppose. Just struck me funny, phrased that way.
The Tulsa race riot was started by black people
The blacks started the riot and the killings.
Did Biden’s ancestors lead that massacre?
yes, it was!! the blacks showed up, armed, to get their “Boy” Diamond Dick, outa jail for attempted rape
About f*&)ing time.
