Tulsa race riots

@conan

My original statement stands.

Do you think black people are to blame for the Tulsa riots? Yes or no?

[conan]

So my question for all you libs here…was the press innocent in this matter?

As I said there is so many roads to go down here…again why it’s really good thread @moonshine

[conan]

No…but they aren’t innocent.

Question…does that bother you?

@Jezcoe

Recognizing history is stirring up outrage now.

Revising history very much can be.

What is being revised here?

Sorry, missed it. That it was one-sided?

@conan

As I said their is plenty of blame to go around.

What did the black population do, to be…attacked?

@PurpnGold

@conan

Blacks weren’t all that innocent…they arrived with guns and in a shoot out they killed 10 Whites.

Are you ■■■■■■■ serious?

I just can’t.

[WuWei]

@Jezcoe

@conan

No…I’m just saying if you’re prepared to get in gun fight don’t go ■■■■■■■ crying to me if you get shot.

Being armed does not equal being prepared to get into a gun fight.

Who told you that?

[PurpnGold]

@conan

No…but they aren’t innocent.

This statement makes no sense. Either it’s their fault or not.

You said “No but…”

I’m reading Wiki (I know not the best source) right now, I’ll read other information as well to make cross reference. Been wanting to read up on this for some time and since OP started this thread it might as well read up

So…this was not taught in school?

Uh oh…

Nobody?

Does it bother me that you are attempting to rewrite history by mealymouth blaming black people…?

I guess as much as any random internet poster would… which is very little. I just worry that what you insinuate is more prevalent than I once assumed

[WuWei]

After the riot started, were the black citizens within their rights to fire at white rioters for riding around in Greenwood?

@moonshine

its becasue of things like this that black americans feel like the country is still racist

You see…this OP is doing nothing than stirring the pot. There’s nothing to gain but it represents the liberal MSM mission to divide this nation. There are a zillion things that don’t happen but are not an indication of anything. If this is something to be remembered annually, do it. Get off of your butt and make it big. Unite us behind it. There is much of our nation’s history that isn’t memorialized each year, so that’s where it’s up to each of us, if it’s important to us, to do so and nothing more. That’s how a FREE country works. Why try to divide it over this, instead of choosing to unite us behind it? That’s very SMALL thinking.

I call it, “stinking thinking”.

I don’t understand the question. After the riot started… it was all out war. You don’t know where shots are coming from and the people in that community were being attacked by an army of armed white men.

I’d say they were defending themselves, so yes?

[conan]

I’m not going to play your denial game.

Do you know anything about the Battle of Blair Mountain in 1921? That one is super crazy.

Tyler Childers bluegrass song “Long Violent History” plays on the memories of that massacre and the white reaction to racial violence today.

It’s called me belligеrent, it’s took me for ignorant
But it ain’t never once made me scared just to be
Could you imagine just constantly worryin’
Kickin’ and fightin’, beggin’ to breathe

How many boys could they haul off this mountain
Shoot full of holes, cuffed, and laid in the streets
‘Til we come in to town in a stark ravin’ anger
Looking for answers and armed to the teeth

30 aught sixes, papaw’s old pistol
How many, you reckon, would it be, four or five?
Oh, would that be the start of a long, violent history
Of tuckin’ our tails as we try to abide?

[conan]

I understand that “some” thinks Blacks can do no wrong…and they they’re totally innocent.

If any of our houses were surrounded by a lynch mob, we’d all shoot.

[conan]

Thanks for bring that back up…I was hoping to see a response but was disappointed. That’s why I said interesting.

I understand Blacks thinking they lynched a White person that they wouldn’t hesitate lynching a Black person. Which bring it back to why they were reading themselves for a fight.

Denial of what? The facts?

That is your team…not mine.
