Racism? Of course not

Yes. Rosewood too.

I don’t believe you.

We have passed numerous laws, including two amendments, to correct the issue. Children are taught about the horrors of slavery and Jim Crow in school.

What else is there to be done from a systemic level?

There is no legal discrimination in the United States federal or state level governments.

There are individual abuses of minority citizens by agents of the state, but what those agents do is illegal and there are means to punish them under the law.

Regarding the teachings…they touch on it, but do not get into the details that have been mostly hidden, or not talked about. Who knew about Juneteenth? Or the massacre in Tulsa in 1921? There are so many more stories like those that do not get taught…I was not taught about those, and I was raises in CA in the 70’s.

I do not agree with your assessment of where race issues are today…and that is fine. We can disagree, and hopefully, still get along.

Again. sorry your education was so shabby.

@zantax

I am sorry your education failed you so hard.

Are you?

Was not just me.

Did they teach about the massacre in 1921 in Tulsa at your school? (not college)

Yes, they did and it wasn’t even a particularly good public school, pretty bad one actually. But it wasn’t white majority either, so maybe that’s why. Maybe they do it differently in lily white schools.

There you go again…

Of course.

Why would I?

Shall I stop stating facts?

Perhaps you should start.

[Guilds]

@WuWei

Perhaps you should start.

Perhaps you should dispute the facts with evidence I am wrong, vs just just saying you do not believe me.

You haven’t posted any facts, just fee fees. I don’t dispute your feelings.

Apparently someone elected this person to speak for everyone. I missed the vote, darn.

Nice punt.

Damn…you took “us”, as I am literally speaking for all of us?

So sorry for not clarifying, some, or most of us.

Sheesh…

Whenever I dare claim most, I kindly provide at least a poll result.

And as an aside, rule by majority, is fascist.

The majority agree Guilds should shut up, is that the world you aspire too?

I referenced the majority of us, were not taught about the Tulsa massacre.

There is currently a poll being done by the Oklahoman. I check back after the results come in.

I did see several people who grew up in Tulsa, say they were not taught about it.

They did learn about it in college.

What grade were you in when you were taught about it?

Ninth grade, civics, African American lady, who didn’t appreciate my stand up routine. Which was admittedly, weak. She oddly, wasn’t fond of some periods of US history, I didn’t blame her. Neither am I.

Good for her for teaching it…it appears to be a rare occurrence, but will admit I am wrong if that is the case.

Why would you expect local Tulsa events to be taught in California?
