There is no question the Tulsa Race Riots were a very bad event, and there was genuine damage done to the black community in Tulsa and genuine horror perpetrated against blacks by it. I could see more justification for the idea of reparations for this group of survivors (but only survivors, of whom there are only a few remaining) than a lot of other groups who are looking for a handout. I'm not saying it's the right thing to do, only making a comparison to other situations.

None of that applies to Maxine Waters, who is a user of her own people and a blatant opportunist. The more anger and resentment she can create, the more power she gets. I'd say it's pretty much guaranteed that she could personally care less about black people in Tulsa.

How many victims and how many perpetrators are still alive, 84 years later? And, if the Statute of Limitations doesn't matter anymore, then I, as an American of Welsh/Irish descent, want reparations from the Brits.
