100th Aniversery of the Black Wall Street Masacre.
May 28, 2021 at 3:34 pm
And unfortunately today, we are still dealing with police injustice, redlining and gerrymandering.

As tragic as the Tulsa massacre was, police injustice, redlining, and gerrymandering had nothing to do with it.

The hell it does not.

If you want to argue the difference between back then, and today, there certainly is. But to claim blacks don't suffer enequity today when it comes to police interaction, or social or economic inequity is bullshit.

Did I claim that? Did I even imply that? I don’t think I did.

I wish you’d have the decency to stop lying about me.

Whose lying? How about you stop twisting my words yourself? You love taking every thing I say out of context, you make it a sport.

I took nothing out of context. You cited three causes of the Tulsa massacre. When I said those causes had nothing to do with the massacre (and they didn’t), you accused me of claiming that black Americans today don’t suffer from inequality and injustice. That’s a lie.

Yes, the same racism that allowed Byrona Taylor to be murdered and Eric Garner and Trevon Martin. 

The Tulsa Masacre happened for the same reason we are dealing with George Floyd today.

If you agree that they DO suffer from inequity today, AND THEY DO, then what is your problem?

No, the Tulsa massacre had very different reason. Not like the Floyd incident at all.

My problem is that you said I DON’T agree that they suffer from injustice and inequality, when I never said or implied anything of the kind.
