“Personal belongings and household goods had been removed from many homes and piled in the streets. On the steps of the few houses that remained sat feeble and gray Negro men and women and occasionally a small child. The look in their eyes was one of dejection and supplication. Judging from their attitude, it was not of material consequence to them whether they lived or died. Harmless themselves, they apparently could not conceive the brutality and fiendishness of men who would deliberately set fire to the homes of their friends and neighbors and just as deliberately shoot them down in their tracks,” the Tulsa Daily World described on June 2, 1921, following the obliteration of a thriving neighborhood that had come to be called Black Wall Street.

Prior to the attacks of September 11, 2001, the outright decimation of Black Wall Street, also known as Little Africa — which began the evening of May 31, 1921, and didn’t end until the following afternoon — had been considered the worst act of terrorism on U.S. soil and the worst civil disturbance since the Civil War. Unfortunately, now 95 years later, the tragic annihilation of an entire neighborhood has almost been lost to the passing of time — indeed, the insufficiently-named “Tulsa Riots” have almost wholly vanished from school curriculae outside Oklahoma.


Credible estimates claim up to 400 people lost their lives, over 800 suffered injuries requiring admittance to area hospitals, “an estimated 10,000 were left homeless, 35 city blocks housing 1,256 residences were destroyed, and 600 successful businesses were lost, including 21 restaurants, 30 grocery stores, two movie theaters and a hospital,” the Atlanta Black Star summarized in 2014

Another fine example of Democrats not wanting poor folks to better themselves....how little things have changed.

This has always been the case and still is. Slave owners were mostly Dems; those who wrote and enforced the Jim Crow laws were all Dems and the lynch mobs in the South were all Dems. Now, they are still trying to keep people down, but using more sophisticated means, such as encouraging sloth and illegitimacy, dumbing down classes in school so people don't learn as much and encouraging destruction of stores and other businesses, through riots and high taxation.

There are millions of apologists for these activities, including some on this forum.

I agree with most of it but the bold part...that's old school derp that doesn't mean fucking shit.

Having married parents doesn't mean shit, having stability/opportunity does.

That is true. Whether parents are married or not is not as important as them being together in a stable relationship. However, when there is a single, unattached mother, especially if she is a school dropout, her children have two strikes against them already. And the Dems reward her for maintaining this status quo.

Pure fuckin' RW buuuuu shit.

It's all about money, the nuclear family is a fucking lie.

I know more than one kid in a beyond stupid rich single parent homes and they are fuckin' all stars. On just graduated HS and she's got a ticket to pretty much any school she wants.

I know a single father household with 3 kids....all of them are all around superstars too.

Advantages of growing up with the best of everything on the planet that money can buy.

True.

We'd be better off subsidizing BC/abortions than cutting retards a check for reproducing.

Because the fight for Civil Rights means nothing nor does even a modicum of respect.

Civil rights are a lie put out there to give whiners something to bitch about.

Money is the only thing that matters....fuck everything else.
