The real history of the Tulsa event was the businesses were hiding some criminals. That's why the buildings were gone through. That's why people were arrested. And that's why a fire started.
If they had just surrendered the criminals to law enforcement for a trial nothing would have happened.
Even Wikipedia say the black mob was armed and trying to stop police.
It was only AFTER the black mob of criminals trying to bust their rapist friend out shot 10 white men and ran off and hid in the city that the police formed a deputized posse to get the criminals.
"The massacre began during the Memorial Day weekend after 19-year-old Dick Rowland, a Black shoeshiner, was accused of assaulting Sarah Page, the 17-year-old White elevator operator of the nearby Drexel Building. He was taken into custody. After the arrest, rumors spread through the city that Rowland was to be lynched. Upon hearing reports that a mob of hundreds of White men had gathered around the jail where Rowland was being kept, a group of 75 Black men, some of whom were armed, arrived at the jail in order to ensure that Rowland would not be lynched. The sheriff persuaded the group to leave the jail, assuring them that he had the situation under control. As the group was leaving the premises, complying with the sheriff's request, a member of the mob of White men allegedly attempted to disarm one of the Black men.[citation needed] A shot was fired, and then according to the reports of the sheriff, "all hell broke loose." At the end of the firefight, 12 people were killed: 10 White and 2 Black. As news of these deaths spread throughout the city, mob violence exploded.[2] White rioters rampaged through the Black neighborhood that night and morning killing men and burning and looting stores and homes. Around noon on June 1, the Oklahoma National Guard imposed martial law, effectively ending the massacre."
Its even worse. The black mob was actually a group of trained ww1 soldiers threatening police. It'd because they were soldiers and st that point doing an armed insurrection in Tulsa that military forces had to be called in to take them out.
Btw it was called the "race massacre" it was called the "race riots" until now.
You're mostly right ...except for the part about Whites burning and looting stores. I think everyone knows who burns and loots and it isn't White people.
I thought it was caused by niggers shooting 10 Whites at a court house where they were holding a nigger who assaulted a White girl? And a mob of Whites were there to lynch him because racial tensions were already sky high?
Photos show tuere was no white mob. only black ww1 men with guns and a few white court house workers standing the windows looking at them.
I haven't had a look at those photos,yet. Would tiu happen to know where I could view them?
Some things never change.
