Interesting how no one cares about the hundreds of Whites, mainly women, who were murdered at the hands of blacks since 2000.
Any surviving white participant would be an elderly man with a poor memory who was less than 5 years old in 1921.
The first thing to know about the so-called “Tulsa Massacre” is that it was not a massacre.
It was a full-blown race war. A shooting war, with both sides armed and engaged.
graves filled with more than a hundred victims
If AP news is publishing a story, we can know it is politically motivated bullsh** and propaganda.
Weird how the left has discovered this “Tulsa Massacre” story 100 years after-the-fact.
Just so everyone remember the community massacred was overwhelming Republican.
Until recently, it was known as the “Tulsa Race Riot” not the
“Tulsa Massacre”.
It was actually a Race Riot and only recently the narrative was changed to favor black oppression to satisfy race bating libtards
Zzzzzzzzzz the horror zzzzzz
It was a “race riot” when I learned about it.
When did it become a massacre ?
A black man assaulted a white girl, the whites wanted to lynch him, blacks protected him, a shot went off and the rest is history.
People get tired of black violence.
Yeah. What happened there, 100 years ago, was bad. I think the country has learned a lot since then. But these people think it’s important to relive this. And relive it. And re live it.
There has to be a way to remember it, learn from it, and move along.
But I think they would suggest the way to do that involves suitcases full of cash.
First, it was a race riot, not a “massacre.”
Second, the whole thing got started b/c a black elevator operator tried to rape a white female.
Third, members of the black community shot and killed whites b/c they feared that a lynching might occur, i.e., the black folks started the violence.
BTW, the black-owned newspaper in the area acknowledged that blacks fired the first shots.
We need to stop letting these idiots rewrite history.
The Tulsa Race War started when a group of blacks fired rifles into a white crowd, killing several.
Pick, pick, pick at that scab until it festers some more.
A non-event blown out of proportion by personal agendas and a corrupted power structure.

excerpts:
On Memorial Day 1921, a young, white Tulsa, Oklahoma elevator operator named Sarah Page had a confrontation with a black teenager named Dick Roland. The incident in Tulsa’s downtown Drexel Building soon spiraled into the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. Much like Roland himself, Page remains known today only through the accumulated legend of sparse news articles and the speculations of historians. As it turns out, most of Sarah Page’s legend is untrue. Fortunately, it is now possible to meet the real person at the center of Tulsa’s race war.
...A day later, the likely cause of the elevator rage was transformed into the Tulsa Tribune’s tale of attempted sexual violence. Sarah’s aggressive purse-wielding was replaced by a hapless young orphan’s scratched face and torn clothes. The Tribune’s managing editor later admitted that these inflammatory claims were untrue. Sarah Page was not responsible for inventing them. She did not mention them to her neighbor Anna Green. Green didn’t mention them in her interview with the Tribune. The police talked to Sarah on Monday and would have noticed scratches. A torn dress or blouse would have been Exhibit A. According to the police, Sarah denied those claims on Tuesday, June 1, and had not filed charges against Roland as of June 2.
...If neither Sarah Page nor Clarence Poulton were responsible for inflating the story, then who was? All trails lead to the 1921 Tulsa police force, headed by chief John Gustafson.
The police were likely telling the truth in the beginning when they claimed that they were far from convinced a crime had been committed on Monday. They were also likely telling the truth at the end, when they announced on Wednesday that Page had denied the Nab Negro article was true in its details and, further, that Page’s version was substantially the same as Roland’s. It was in the middle where they lied.
...Chief of Detectives Jim Patton headed the investigation. On Wednesday, while the embers still glowed in Greenwood, he delivered a statement to the Daily World calling Jones’ Nab Negro article yellow journalism, colored and untrue, and as having incited a disastrous racial spirit. Patton concluded that “If the facts in the story as told the police had only been printed I do not think there would have been an (sic) riot whatever.”
...In other words, if the Tribune had only printed Sarah Page’s story, there would have been no event now called the Tulsa Race Massacre.
