Blacks did not riot, I think you misunderstand. The Greenwood district of Tulsa, known at the time as 'Black Wall Street' because it was a financial area, was gutted and several black Tulsans were killed in the Tulsa Race Riots of 1912. The perpetrators were white and got away with it scot-free. It is genuinely an ugly event in Tulsa's history, and not something to excuse lightly.
None of that means that reparations paid to individuals are in order, but that is another issue.

Sorry, I guess I was preoccupied by the thunderstorm. I haven't heard thunder in a while.

But people that live in glass houses should not be throwing stones. Maxine Waters must be as much furious about L.A. riots, for instance, if she is moral and not merely a racialist. That she condones crimes perpetrated by blacks deprives her voice of any morality whatever.
