Tensions rise in Tulsa as Black Panthers and
hundreds of black gun owners take part in
2nd Amendment march ahead of the 100th
anniversary of city's race massacre

They call it Social Justice Shopping. We call it looting!

This was NOT a 2nd Amendment march. This was a demand for reparations while marching with weapons. As if they would ever win that war.

If there is a need for reparations it is here in Tulsa but the time was 100 years ago. Instead of reparations they relocated many of the citizens to small rural areas where they lived in black townships. There they had no way to live the earned lifestyle they had in the Greenwood District. This was considered reparations a century ago. The Tulsa Wall Street area was the absolute prime example of "separate but equal" that whites wanted. The black community lived in a separate world from the whites as much as they could until a black man rode on the same elevator as a white woman. Rumors and theories exist to this day as who commanded the black district be burned to the ground. Rest assured it was a rich white man who said, "burn them down." Supposedly the brother of the editor of the white man's newspaper. No written record exists of who said what. I don't approve of reparations. I feel "suicide by police" is now the lottery ticket for many career criminals. The Floyd Family got 27 million or half that amount after splitting with attorney Ben Crump. Crump is NOT representing the 100 plus year old survivors of the Tulsa Riot and they want, splint among them and other descendants, 50 million. I am inclined to think reparations are now due to them. Sending them off to live in isolated communities did not replace the wealth they had accumulated in Tulsa. They lived and continue to live in abject poverty in those communities living a separate but not equal life.

#3, "reparations" is a nice word for Communist wealth redistribution. No thank you. If your ancestors were part of this, and you feel some sort of guilt over this, give them all of your money that you want. But my ancestors had nothing to do with this. So not a penny of my tax dollars for this scheme!!!!! There are far too many things that those tax dollars are needed for!!!

the definition of reparations...Taking money from me, a person who has never owned a slave, giving it to you, a person who has never been a slave so you'll vote for democrats.

In 100 years’ time they haven’t risen from poverty? What stopped them? In the last 50 years alone the opportunities have greatly increased in their favor. I am confused and I don’t think throwing bundles of money at them will solve what appears to be self-induced systemic poverty both financial and cultural. Anger they have for their current plight needs to be directed at their own failed black leadership. I have no issue with remembering the past to make certain it does not repeat itself. I have a problem with wallowing in the past and not advancing beyond it.

Meh, who cares why they march,; as long as they follow the laws let 'em have their parade.

As with every other POC march, it is best stay far, far, away.

I do encourage you to study up on what happened. It is not a well known story in Oklahoma so I'm not sure how many outside of the state know it. But, after the white leaders of the community set fire to the separate but equal community they then set up communities for them to live in away from any commercial centers. Commerce is needed for capitalism. I view that as a divide and conquer mentality. One community is not too far from me and a 3 hour drive from Tulsa driving in a modern vehicle on interstate and toll roads. It is with today's roads 30 minutes from a town of significant size. The reparations are not about slavery. They are to pay back the families after the white leaders of Tulsa decided to burn down the black side of town where some of the blacks were living in more affluence than some of the whites due to their own development of capitalism. The instigating factor was a black man rode in the same elevator as a white woman. It is the City of Tulsa that would pay the claim. I don't live in Tulsa but my son does. The facts of this bother me far more slavery.

Please know that the other side is getting armed as well. The left has been wanting a race war for decades, and they are finally getting close. Be prepared and know, they are doing all they can to milk blm, CRT, and other black causes to pit us against each other.

None of my ancestors had slaves. There haven't been living slaves for about 60 years. There may be a few people alive today who knew a person who had been a slave for a year or two in infancy, and lived to be a century old. Since slavery ended in 1865, a child born in 1864 who lived to be 100 years old would have died in 1964. Reparations are a fraud. Most Americans are descended from people who never owned slaves, and owe nothing, even if you buy this whole ridiculous nonsense.

A good segment of America weren't even living here in the 1800's. My family came in 1912.

The official death toll sounds like your average weekend in Chicago. That said, #9 makes a very good point where justice delayed is justice denied, I'll wager many of those blacks who lost businesses and homes tried to sue for redress and had their cases ignored or thrown out by the courts just as the John Roberts court punted on election fraud in 2020, Judges take sides when they fail to hear legitimate cases and there is no recourse for the plaintiffs but to take to the streets.

#11 The reparations being requested by the Tulsa Race Riot Commission has nothing to do with slavery. Reread my prior two post. (yes, this is the 3rd post). This request is on level with the Japanese-American reparations. it is being asked of the City of Tulsa. The white business leaders, primarily the brother of the newspaper, said, "burn them down" in regard to the Greenwood District of Tulsa because a black man got on an elevator with a white woman. The real angst was because the Greenwood was as affluent if not more so as many parts of white Tulsa due to capitalistic black leadership and business enterprise. In compensation, 100 years ago, the homeless with no way of earning a living, were re-established in segregated communities at least 30 miles for any center of commerce to live to support themselves.

Yes, #9, it does sound tragic. But I can guarantee you that there are few people living in Tulsa today who had any part in this tragedy, or even whose ancestors had any part in this tragedy. Forcing all those innocent people to pay reparations for a tragedy that they and their ancestors had nothing to do with is also tragic and unfair!!! "Justice" is when a perpetrator is forced to make amends to their victim. "Reparations" are when you force innocent people to give money to people who were not victims of anything. My ancestors were Italian. I have heard the story of how that first generation was discriminated against, forced to live in poverty, and even killed simply because of where they came from. But they never cried "victim". They worked hard, learned English, made sure their kids got educated, and eventually became contributing and accepted part of the mainstream of this nation. Many African-Americans did the same, and now have great college educations, high paying careers, and live in high scale neighborhoods.

26 Blacks killed in Tulsa 100 years ago. That many die nearly every weekend in the democrat cities of America, and it aint whites killing them.

Re: #3, 9, and 14 - Since you are familiar with Oklahoma and seem sure that you know the cause of the killings and arson that occurred 100 years ago in Tulsa, how about those for whom you advocate get in line behind Cherokees and Choctaws who have lost more people and possessions than the citizens of Tulsa by orders of magnitude? That's the problem with trying to rectify wrongs dating back over 100 years: where do you start in terms of collecting reparations money and how do you apportion that which is collected? If the payment is restricted to Tulsa, as you suggest, do you collect from today's property owners of color or is this simply a tax on white people, perhaps excluding white hispanics? Do you tax white residents who may have only recently moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, or America? Cities can't print money like our current president does; they collect money from taxpayers. Do you deduct taxpayer monies, confiscated not just from Tulsa residents, but from taxpayers from across the US, including Native American taxpayers, that have been expended on behalf of disadvantaged blacks over the last 60 years or so? For Indian reparations, for which I do not advocate, would you deduct the costs of the Indian reservations on which entire Indian tribes were forced to live? How does one apportion reparations to the various victim groups and how do you decide who pays what amount? Do you pay reparations to a black family in Tulsa that may have moved from Detroit in 1999? Do you deduct reparation money from blacks currently associated with BLM looting and arson? Without detailed answers, the idea of reparations is justifiably divisive and could lead to greater violence among groups of Americans and we already have too much of that. If you rob Peter to pay Paul, make darned sure that Peter actually owes Paul or else you have created another angry victim group.

Keep pickin that scan so it leaves a permanent scar.

I hadn't heard of the Tulsa issue until the bLACKS made it news. It was 100 years ago and I'd bet most demonstrators never heard of it either.

Now suddenly 2nd Amendment matters to them.

26 blacks murdered? That's one good weekend in Chicago if you count the women and children they shoot.

Remember "darkies" we outnumber you 10 to 1 and we have more "legal" guns than do you.
