@hstone519 The world's best encyclopedia has best information on 1921's vile "Tulsa Race Massacre":
-
@hstone519 Riot's the wrong word.
Massacre is more like it.

@hstone519 Guns
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_race_massacreI'm with Alister Cooke on this. It's an authorised militia (the US didn't have an army then) that is authorised to bear arms. Not any man.
Too little law (and unprofessional police), too many poorly regulated weapons and poor democracy.
What is the National Guard for? Surely only they and Military should routinely carry weapons.See also Kent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootings
Cancel Patriot Act, DHS & ICE. Wrong response to 9-11.
Reform FBI & CIA.

Yes, it was terrible, but it is now in history books and taught in schools.Citation for 3000 killed or bombing?

If Black Wall Street had been better armed the massacre wouldn’t have happened. White people are afraid of armed resistance.

No, that's stupid. That escalates to more deaths.
No-one should have had weapons. -

@raymaccarthy @hstone519 History repeating itself. Facebook is cited as one of the causes of anti- Rohingya sentiment in 2017. Hollywood's 1915 movie 'Birth Of A Nation', was one of the causes of what happened in Tulsa.

"can't be found in any history books?"Come on, it's right there in Wikipedia.
What a dumb statement.

No-one should have had weapons.The deaths of white supremacist pogromists in nothing to be mourned. The more who get shot back at the fewer pogroms.
If you don’t like guns, don’t own one. You have a right to be stupid. Include me out.

@hstone519 for those interested in an exceptionally well-researched documentation of these events, Dr. Scott Ellsworth’s Death in a Promised Land is outstanding » https://bookshop.org/a/99085/9780807117675
He served as chief historian on the Tulsa Race Riot Commission (1999-2000) and chaired the committee leading the effort to identify the unmarked graves of victims of the 1921 riot for the 2021 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial.

@hstone519 Those KKK members should have been fucking machinegunned as soon as they started one house fire.
Their planes should have been shot down as soon as they dropped one bomb.Problem was probably white people having all the machineguns.

@LukefromDC @hstone519 It’s never too late.

@su_liam @hstone519 What put an end to a lot of KKK organizing was systematic doxxing campaigns that cost most of the prior generation of Klansmen their jobs.
Last time I had to face the open Klan in battle was twice in DC in 1990. Since then they've all transitioned to the Nazi branding it seems.

@LukefromDC @hstone519 The good news is they’re doing a really good job doxxing themselves.
