People generally forget that part of the story, but around 25-percent of the dead-count is regarded as whites (either caught in the middle, or living in that part of town).

Exactly! And the white residents started it even though it was blacks that marched to the jail and rioted, then went for armed reinforcements.

And the Greenwood District is about a mile or less from the Southern boundary of the Osage Nation reservation. Now the Osage are some people who were really treated very badly (see Killers of the Flower Moon). Not saying the people in the Greenwood district weren’t, but there comes a time you buck it up and quit making excuses for your failings because your ancestors got mistreated.

Took a glance at social media to see the leftist outrage.

Overwhelming majority of the comments were from white women saying how disappointed they were. And many not even from the area. Not a big surprise. White women were the ones going nuts over Floyd last year and pushing “anti-racist” booklists and other destructive nonsense. A trip to Oklahoma to show how anti-racist you are is in line with that.

I'm always suspicious of those hosting the "commemoration" too. How much are they skimming off for parking, concessions, advertising and contributions but passing on only a pittance (if anything) to the actual victims who they use as props. I have similar complaints about all the "police and fire funds" who call asking for a contribution, but end up passing a fraction of a penny on the dollar to actual police charity work.

There are many grifters in the world and sometimes they fight each other to get the top of the skim.

Come on man! Don’t let a cash grab get in the way of a Marxist Revolution.

Get out there and break some windows, hassle Whitey and burn down that shop where your mom works, so she can stay home with you and cook and clean your room.

The summer of Biden is just getting started.

Just another hundred year old event, so old no one who was there is able to remember the context and what exactly happened and why, resurrected and propagandized for Commie to divide Americans.

How many 100 year olds - or older - are in Tulsa and have proof there were there? If LaQuinta Washington said he was there, but no proof, no payment. Of course, I doubt there is an 100 year old black named LaQuinta anything... 😀

And they knew there would be violence. Looks bad to have a gang shooting at your memorial, doncha know.

So much today about the 1921 Tulsa Race Riots.

If it was that important why was it not memorialized back in 1931, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91, 2001, 2011 instead of just now?

I first read about it back in 1970 from a book in the Tulsa County Library. Now it is always brought up kike scraping open an old scab.
