John Legend was going to commemorate the false renaming of the Tulsa Race Riot to the Tulsa Race Massacre. Fortunately, he got canceled. Since then, they have been digging up Tulsa trying to find mass graves without any luck. Maybe they should read history and find out what was really going on at the time instead of jumping to conclusions based on perception bias?

The foundation of Black Wall Street in Tulsa is Cherokee slaves who traveled to Oklahoma after President Jackson stole the Cherokee plantation and transferred the titles to white criminals. Cherokees treated their slaves very well and gave them the best education. There was NO official death count during the Tulsa Race riots. It was filthy rich White men skirmishing with filthy rich Black businessmen. Speculation at the time was between 24 and 300. Unfortunately, the connections the whites had convinced the Air Force to drop firebombs on Black Wall Street. This displaced about 2000 folks. Still, there was no "massacre". A massacre is a deliberate and indiscriminate killing of a large number of people, often characterized by extreme violence and brutality. The term typically implies that the victims are unable to effectively defend themselves. There was fighting on both sides. There was devastation from the firebombing the Air Force operation. Why this happened should be the focus. Black Wall Street was proud and put their lives back together.

Today the spoiled brat kiddos are asking for "reparations". This is something the Oldtimers, that went through the ordeal, wanted nothing to do with. Due to media bullshit the kiddos perception that there was an oppressed population that had no work ... destitute ... being mass murdered. They are not provided the pride of knowing what wonderful community had been built.
