“eliminate race from being our focus”
Start with black lies matter thugs.
A lot of platitudes, no real solution.
WHY is ANYONE talking about this?
As if racial tensions aren’t high enough already!
I never even heard about this till now!
WHO (really) CARES about this? NOBODY (really).
It was a HUNDRED years ago.
I’m NOT reading up on this because in my 71 years I NEVER EVER heard of this before. It was a HUNDRED years ago, and it’s just ANOTHER “hands up, don’t shoot”, “Burn it down”, EXCUSE to steal big screen TVs.
Can we search for and exploit any more episodes of racial crap to keep the wounds open? Surely we can! Here’s one now!
We had a similar thing here in Cochise County, AZ one hundred years ago when the mining companies rounded up the dissident mine workers and shipped them by train to New Mexico.
I feel the same way with Watts, Rodney King, Busing riots in the south, the continuous inner city gang killings( black on black), Baltimore, Treyvon could have been my son,: the murderous rampage on police in Texas, The atrocious burning and killing fields of Minneapolis and the fools at Kenosha....among a few.
This writer is never apologizing, never going to kiss the feet of the mean side of “black culture,” and will deny CRT-critical race theory, 1619 project.
Maybe they’ll come for me. FBI stats suggest 13% of the population commit50% of the crimes.
Maybe it’s all LBJ’s fault keeping them on the plantation. Maybe blacks should police shier own?
But I’m not watching ROOTS and crying, bot listening to CNN’s Don Lemon and others calling me a racist.
F em all. I cared for all patients no matter color or identity, no matter sexual identity. No one will make me cry over sacred bleeding heard racism generally fomented by Marxists.
They want to offer and olive leaf, I’ll take it but in my 63 years on this planet I’ve seen over and over it is the “black culture” that plays knockout games, incredible crime, riots, drugs, lack of education,robberies, beating anyone that doesn’t look like then including the gang faction down the street and poor marriage relations( because welfare doesn’t help the father).
Not sorry for the rant. I am not living out my days kissing a$$ when maybe, MAYBE instead of throwing money and worthless programs with do-good social worker...maybe they need moral accountability and the strong arms of tough love.
Where are the strong GOOD black men and women that will stand up and police their own> They don’t want interference but demand money from the government( ie US), to fix or stay the same?
I don’t care about Tulsa.
Rant over
You can start by acknowledging the fact that the Tulsa riot was started by an armed black mob that fired the first shots.
Guess we could call this era The Robin J. DiAngelo era.

It seems to me that a series of incidents escalated into a small war that blacks lost.
The burning of Atlanta was 157 years ago and some folks still can’t get over that trivial incident.
The black on white crime has already evened the death count between the races. Nobody mentions this.
When I see stuff about racism in America, a lot of the events and examples are from 50 years ago or more—such as this one, 100 years ago.
They were truly some horrible things going on during those times. Jim Crow laws and “standards” were certainly wrong—as were a lot of racially based regulations.
But, that is not the world we live in.
I cringed in the 80’s when I heard my 90 year old grandmother refer to them as “darkies.”
But that was 40 years ago.
I would like to believe that we’ve moved beyond that.
Whenever I read something like the stories about Tulsa, I do believe that we must sure that doesn’t happen ever again. And at the same time I ask if anyone can point to a place where that is happening now.
It isn’t happening now. That is what we need to keep reminding people. White on Black violence is an unusual thing these days. Collective white on black violence is even more rare.
Zzz
Over it
In just a few cities run by the democrat party the number of killings by black on black exceeds the number from Tulsa many times over EVERY YEAR!
“when you focus on race, it keeps you out of the race”
I like that.

Heal the Nation’s soul? No comment other than “Deportation should work!” Get to work!
The sad thing about this is that we will never know exactly what occurred from a purely factual perspective.
I don’t believe that CNN, the same network that guaranteed me that DJT was a Russian, will have any desire to report what actually occurred.
The only useful atomized bit of Schadenfreude out of all this -- other than the original event -- was this:
"Cornerstone event of Tulsa Race Massacre commemoration was abruptly canceled because lawyers representing survivors and descendants demanded a higher fee for their participation in the event than had been originally agreed upon, commission official says.The original agreement was for $100,000 for each survivor and a $2 million “seed gift" to a reparations coalition fund, the commission’s chair, State Senator Kevin Matthews (D), said in a press conference on Friday afternoon. At the last minute, Matthews said, the lawyers had changed their mind and asked for $1 million for each survivor and $50 million for the fund."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAA!!! I got three words for that...
God has provided the means to heal an individual soul, but the leftist have shuffled God out of the nation’s psyche. This woman is now delusional, to believe soul;s can be healed without the source of healing ... and He still stands at the door, knocking.
