Yep. I have family that I know was involved in crazy racist bullshite back in the 50's and 60's. Heard rumors a distant cousin had set a black church on fire.
And the most amazing part is that 99% of the white people involved in shite like this all would have said they were Christians.
All of these people in this day and age always bitch about how the world was so much better back in the good ole days can shove it up their arse. We are a much better country these days.

Thats what I never really understood. Holding a bible in one hand and killing someone with the other. I know it goes back long before this but still.

At least we try to identify what's wrong and try to get it right. We're a pretty young country. There are countries centuries older than us that have committed or have been committing atrocities just as heinous, and on larger scales for ages. In many cases, their only remorse seems to be that they were caught, defeated.

See: the racism issue in Europe today. Could you imagine if a white guy at an NFL game in the USA threw a banana at a black player?

One thing that's unique about the US is we're founded on a set of ideas rather than an ethnic identity.
As a result, we view incidents like Tulsa as shameful. Most of the world harps on ancient grievances as justification for present-day atrocities. For example, people in the Middle East with the Crusades, or Serbs with the Battle of Kosovo.

Wait . . .
A black guy is arrested for raping a white girl
Blacks in Tulsa show up at the courthouse armed to the teeth to "protect him"
And the white town folk are to be blamed because they feared an uprising, and went after their own guns?
Really?

And here we go. 
Couldn't they just have lynched a few like they normally did or some BS like that. Did they have to burn the fcking place to the ground?

Oh alright. One black person commits a crime. Only reasonable response is to kill all black people, correct.

He did not rape her. He bumped into her. She was never raped. She accused him of being inappropriate.

Is that actually legit. I heard that before but also heard it was a rumor. I have never actually heard of any actual incidents with this.

The gang by me throws eggs on your windshield while you are driving. Then you try to wash off with your whipers, you quickly get a fcked up windshield and have to pull over. When this happens, they gang rape you

The word rape was never used in the paper back then
Her screams were heard from inside the elevator. It was Memorial Day and few businesses were open. People questioned what the black youth was doing in town that day? They seriously doubt he just bumped into her

White people did some horrible things back then, but I feel really sorry for the people who act like an entire mob of blacks with guns was just innocent and the whites just overreacted. Even the wiki article says the first shot was by a black man but insinuates it accidentally went off...suuuure
