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.
Emm...
From what I had read, before many sites were scrubbed, was that initially a white young girl elevator operator was ‘assaulted’ by a black shoe shine man.
A bunch of white people went to the jail where the black man was being guarded by blacks. A fight started, and 10 white people were dead, as well as 2 black people.
After that, the left rewrote history.
One account I has read said a total of 26 blacks and 10 whites died. The ‘black wall street’ was burned and rebuilt.
There was not a black massacre, and attempts to find such a mass burial site with 100’s of bodies have not been successfull, because it didn’t happen.
There was supposedly a secret deal to get reparations for blacks, with the tulsa race riot survivors as the basis, but fell apart because the deal became public when someone demanded millions more than the original deal.
The whole tulsa race riot has become an attempt to get reparations.
Look here for some period info

Decades ago I may have felt the same way.
However, today I can state as fact that my white guilt account has a zero balance.
