I'm surprised a conservative newspaper would run this story. Are white people jealous of successful blacks, and why hasn't there been another successful black neighborhood since?
There are some successful black neighborhoods in the Atlanta area, at least they are predominantly black and middle or upper middle class. Not all black people consider themselves to be helpless victims, and most of the successful ones naturally gravitate toward capitalist and conservative values.

History is history, should we cancel and whitewash it?
The bad part is that you actually think it’s okay to shame people today for something people that aren’t even alive today did. You keep making the assertion that America is systemically racist but like the people you seem to think are here just for good, they fail to actually make that case. To show TODAY where there is structural racism that leads to systemic racism that perpetuates white supremacy. The people you stand with call colorblind laws racist. They question liberalism, the Enlightenment, reason, merit. Why? Why have you aligned yourself with people who literally despise you and only see you as a useful idiot to help carry their water?
You might want to make sure you haven’t aligned yourself with neo-Racist who like using pathetic left wingers as useful idiots to carry water for their illiberal world view. Your whole ideology starts off ascribing some feature to an entire race (something that is supposedly socially constructed) based on their color and ascribing guilt based on a hidden past that doesn’t really seem all that hidden. You literally copied the link to the Tulsa School system… It takes a real genius to link to a school systems website that is showing lesson plans for the Tulsa Race Massacre to try and say that it’ll be gone one day if we don’t usher in the Marxist Utopia.

Knowing your history is one thing, but ruminating over it and living in the past is detrimental.
Also, history should be portrayed ACCURATELY.
The Tulsa Riots began after a mob of blacks tried to break an accused rapist out of jail. A white mob challenged them and fighting ensued. The white mob won, and in retaliation the white mob went on to burn down and loot a large swathe of the black neighborhood in Tulsa.
(burning and looting, something that BLM and liberals are doing a lot of these days)
Also, the incident was always referred to as "The Tulsa Riots" up until this past year when all of the sudden media outlets began referring to it as "The Tulsa Massacre". Why the name change, and why did a 100 year old incident suddenly become news again? There's obviously an agenda behind this.
The point is simply: Free enterprise had allowed a thriving black business-centered community to separate itself from servitude to the land, and it was the lowest of the LOW white losers -- failing tenant farmers and the like, some of whom would be caught in the trap of the Dust Bowl a few years later -- who most wanted to destroy other people's success.
It wasn't racism on Wall Street that destroyed black progress in Tulsa -- it was the racism (and class-consciousness -- not far akin to what the Lefties are peddllng today) in the barnyard.

Or maybe a white mob was simply trying to stop a black mob from breaking a prisoner out of jail, which is what started the entire incident in the first place, and then it cartwheeled out of control.
Too many people are trying to read into this 100 yr old incident with their own modern biases.
So people were bad 100 years ago. What does that have to do with me now?
Looking back does nothing. We should be looking ahead to make things better.
But some people want to keep the guilt and victimization going for some reason?
Oh, they are terrible now. The only difference is, instead of taking freedom away from blacks through slavery, they are doing it by giving them free stuff so they never achieve anything on their own.

I see a lot of the so-called school lessons ignoring that it started with a shootout between armed black and white men where 10 white men and 2 black men were killed. I’ve read the wiki page on it the last several years and notice quite a few revisions.
Burning and looting ironically has a newfound respect among some in today’s age.

I know, right? But seems like some want to pick and choose the history that suits them, or the way they want it to be written.
