This incident was in no way like a rodney king or civil rights protest.
An angry BLACK mob stormed the court house and was told to leave. This mob was responsible for killing whites. Then the residents of greenwood hid the murderers.
Yes, this was a tragedy. But I'am tired of seeing history being re-written to fit a narrative.

Interesting perspective - I didn't know that the black citizens had precipitated the riots.

"Watchmen" was originally a graphic novel (comic book) by some weird English dude named Alan Moore. it was made into a movie a few years back. didn't do well .. because it's .. weird. very weird. how about Richard Milhous Nixon .. president for life weird? THAT'S WEIRD.


i don't think the comic or the movie had anything to do with the Tulsa riots but the HBO show did, it was the basis of the show and the resulting events afterward. in the show which just wrapped up, Nixon could run unlimited times and was president until he died when he was succeeded by .. Gerry Ford. who then lost his re-election to .. Robert Redford. yeah .. THAT Robert Redford. who says an actor can't be president?? bahhaahaaaa


there is also a character called Dr. Manhattan .. who is so powerful he can bitchslap Superman back to Krypton. with me so far??


this is Dr. Manhattan





yes he's blue .. and naked except they can't do that in comics unless they want it x-rated. so they gave him snazzy art deco loincloth. bhahhaaaaaa


WEIRD SHIT

here's some background ..


the original comic ...

WEIRD SHIT!!!!

Synopsis

Watchmen takes place 34 years after the events of the comic series. Set in the comic's alternate history of the 20th century, vigilantes, once seen as heroes, have been outlawed due to their violent methods. In 1985, Adrian Veidt, formerly known as the vigilante Ozymandias, created a fake attack on New York City by a squid-like alien that resulted in millions within New York being killed, coercing nations to work together against a common threat and to avert a nuclear holocaust. Veidt's actions disgusted his former companions, with Rorschach planning to tell the world of Veidt's misdeeds before he is vaporized by Doctor Manhattan, who subsequently left the planet, unaware Rorschach had sent his journal to be published beforehand.


The show takes place in 2019 Tulsa, Oklahoma. A white supremacist group, the Seventh Kavalry, inspired by Rorschach's writings and masked image, wage violent war against minorities and the police that enforce special reparations for victims of racial injustice. On Christmas Eve 2016, during an event that came to be known as the "White Night", the Kavalry attacked the homes of 40 Tulsa police officers.[2] Of those who survived, only two stayed with the force: Detective Angela Abar and Chief Judd Crawford.[3] As the police force was rebuilt, laws were passed that required police to not disclose their profession and to protect their identities while on the job by wearing masks, which includes allowing for costumed police officers.[4]


episode 1 ..


During Tulsa's Black Wall Street massacre in 1921, a black child loses his parents O.B. and Ruth in the chaos and escorts an orphaned baby to safety. Ninety-eight years later, masked Officer Charlie Sutton is hospitalized after being shot by a member of the Seventh Kavalry. Chief Judd Crawford calls for retaliation to hunt down the shooter. Angela Abar hears of the shooting and hunts down a suspect under her secret persona, Sister Night. With help from another costumed police officer, Wade Tillman/Looking Glass, Angela elicits the shooter's location at a cattle ranch used by the Kavalry. Angela, Judd and other officers hunt them down, instigating a shootout that results in the deaths of all Kavalry members present, including the shooter. Sometime after the shootout, Judd runs over a spike strip while driving to the hospital to visit Sutton. Angela receives a call from someone who instructs her to find something at a countryside tree. She heads to the location, where she finds an elderly black man in a wheelchair below a hanged Judd. Meanwhile, an old lord living at an unspecified country estate writes a play called The Watchmaker's Son and celebrates an "anniversary" with his two servants.


WEIRD SHIT!!!

I really want to stay out of this, but where do you get your facts? Your Wiki link states The 1921 OK State Commission reported 36 dead (we should trust a state commission), but the 2001 Commission confirmed 56 (39 black, 13 white, 4 unidentified).


Funny thing is just yesterday, news reported a possible mass grave from the Tulsa riots. We'll see what that turns up. https://news.yahoo.com/researchers-f...014915296.html

He was taken into custody. A subsequent gathering of angry local whites outside the courthouse where Rowland was being held, and the spread of rumors he had been lynched, alarmed the local black population, some of whom arrived at the courthouse armed. Shots were fired and twelve people were killed: ten white and two black.[17] As news of these deaths spread throughout the city, mob violence exploded.--wiki

After this the greenwood citizens hid the perpetrators from the authorities

Tulsa race riots occurre almost 100 years ago.

Yet the DPST's act like it happened yesterday - and that all Consrvatives are responsible for that riot.

parsing how many of which skin color is irrelevant - it was a tragedy reflecting race values of a bygone era - and crimes committed on both sides of the race fence.

No - I am not in favor of reparations for past racial issues. This is just a pretext of DPST's to set up more reparation Plantation politics.

Far better to improve Equality under the law for All - regardless of color, creed, etc. Improve equal opportunity for residents of DPST shit holes like Baltimore - mired in DPST plantation political corrupt management for decades (Mayor just sentenced to prison for corruption - DPST's still in denial about it)

Race baiting DPST do love their Al Sharpton.

the Gap Band formed their name from the first letter of 3 streets in Tulsa, that basically incorporated the area known as Black Wall Street.

just saying..

[winn dixie]

“The cause of death determination would be an important step to the investigation,” city officials said in a statement, “as remains will be close to 100 years old and a Spanish Influenza outbreak occurred in Tulsa in 1919 prior to the Race Massacre in 1921.”

If these mass graves actually exist. It was common practice during this time to bury the dead of outbreaks together.

BYE BYE!!

Again, Pedsy, I am nots Yssup Rider.

However, if I am exposed to gettting 15 PMs, I haven't. Just the ones I got from Turdsy and your pal Whoopeee, or whatever the fucks he called himself.

Sorry, big shooter, but you're barking up the wrong trees again. Keep barking, though. Your mum likes to barks like a dog. You learned well from her, Pedsy.
