The following account is reminiscent of what's going on today.
News of an attempted robbery of a white man by an armed black man began to circulate through the city. As a result of this news, white mobs formed and rampaged through downtown, beating all African Americans who were found. The mobs also stopped trolleys and streetcars, pulling black passengers out and beating them on the streets and sidewalks. Illinois Governor Frank O. Lowden eventually called in the National Guard to quell the violence, and the mobs slowly dispersed. The May 28th disturbances were only a prelude to the violence that erupted on July 2, 1917.
After the May 28th riots, little was done to prevent any further problems. No precautions were taken to ensure white job security or to grant union recognition. This further increased the already-high level of hostilities towards African Americans. No reforms were made in police force which did little to quell the violence in May. Governor Lowden ordered the National Guard out of the city on June 10th, leaving residents of East St. Louis in an uneasy state of high racial tension. https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/east-st-louis-race-riot-1917/
Later the following year...
Influenza pandemic of 1918–19, also called Spanish influenza pandemic or Spanish flu, the most severe influenza outbreak of the 20th century and, in terms of total numbers of deaths, among the most devastating pandemics in human history. https://www.britannica.com/event/influenza-pandemic-of-1918-1919
I wonder why the puppet masters decided to have Racial Tension Theater follow the pandemic this time? Maybe because the riots caused $8mil in damage, so they figured the damage wouldn't be quite so severe if a dis-ease was keeping the majority of people hunkered down in their homes afraid of catching a bad cold.
However, I leave you with this.
During the Silent Protest Parade of July 1917, the crowd marched down New York City's 5th Avenue in complete silence. Their picket signs announcing:
We march because we deem it a crime to be silent in the face of such barbaric acts.
We march because we want our children to live in a better land. https://www.naacp.org/silent-protest-parade-centennial/
I believe these are messages we can ALL unite behind as we push back against the Synagogue of Satan.
Remember to wrap yourself in the full armor of God and serve the LORD in your own capacity to the best of your abilities while keeping Jesus Christ in your hearts daily.
God bless, friends, and be well.
