Tulsa 1921 race massacare

on the history channel. I just watched this show.
It was great until they broght a recent event onto it.
This is an IMPORTANT event that needed to be shown, explored and taught but their BLATENT disregard for the facts being the death of Terence Crutche takes all of the good work here and discredits it. The man failed to follow police instructions and, while high on PCP, reached into his car. A jury of 12 people with 1/4 of the jury being black (a % greater than the population which shows a lean over demographics) found the police were not guilty of the charges of manslaughter and ultimately, that cop got a job with a sherrifs deputy and hasnt killed anyone since than.

Especially on the centennial anniversary, but you're also correct with the rest of your take as well.

I am probably older than many of you and have never heard of this massacre until I recently saw a few items about it coming up and saw something about the Black Wall Street.
It's a tragedy that this whole damn thing happened. What these people had accomplished, against a lot of odds, was very impressive. There has been much said of how much damage the Great Society entitlements have caused. African Americans just needed a level playing field.
.
But I also wonder why you never heard about this ever on the MSM. I think I do a good job of trying to sample other media beside Fox, my go to. But nothing.

This is more of a byproduct of the current education system. It was never designed to have this kind of history to be more prominent in primary and secondary education.

This is mostly sensationalized propaganda to push the left's reparations and CRT agenda.
I would take anything said on that "documentary" with a grain of salt.

Same reason you never heard about Juneteenth until recently.
The media's job is to edit reportage down to tiny prepackaged bites and established narratives.
The media can't cover every important person involved in the Civil Rights movement, but they can cover MLK because he was a charismatic speaker and death by assassination makes his life and work seem more important than if he had just faded into obscurity.
The media can't show you every horrible crime inflicted on Black people in America, but they can show you Emmitt Till until youre blue in the face.
But mostly, the people in charge of telling the history of Segregation and of the Civil Rights movement - they weren't born in the South or West, they don't live in the South or West, they don't care to learn anything about the South or West. My little podunk Tennessee town had the first dedicated abolitionist newspaper in the United States, but I bet no one will ever hear about that either.

Be prepared for an onslaught of these types of documentaries over the next few years. In fact, racial grievance will be the main topic in the years to come.
The media has to maintain that outrage in order to steal more elections.

Same here - I first heard of this about two years ago - was astounded that it had never ever come to my attention.

They had to make sure all the participants were dead before beginning the propaganda.
The "positive" propaganda and revisionism will start soon.
Within 10-15 years you'll be watching programs telling us how the black man invented the automobile, the airplane, and that they discovered penicillin.
They are already making movies trying to claim black women got us to the moon.

I'm in the same camp. While Jim Crow and Civil Rights history isn't my area of expertise, I had taken classes with professors who did focus on that area. Never once were the Tulsa Race Riots brought up. When you consider how violent and intricate they were (planes dropping bombs from the sky), it's absolutely incredible that this wasn't touched on in school.

Former KGB have verified that riling up the blacks in America was part of the communist plan.

The Alabama Communist Party was made up of working people without a Euro-American radical political tradition: devoutly religious and semiliterate black laborers and sharecroppers, and a handful of whites, including unemployed industrial workers, housewives, youth, and renegade liberals.
New generation, same group of losers. Just replace industrial with service.

You do realize that black wall street was a positive thing right? It was a wealthy black community of church going, two parent homes, who cared about education. And they prospered in spite of laws and barriers that made success much more difficult. They were what the black community should be trying to recreate. The massacre was a tragedy and was followed up by a bunch of bad DEM policy that set them on a path to self destruction and perpetual victim hood.
It's not propaganda to talk about real history. It is however propaganda to include and compare modern day race grievance with real actual struggle.

Exactly.
This is not history. This is shall we say a "highly embellished" and propagandized version of the actual truth.
This is less about black Wall Street and more about Evil Ol' Whitey needs to atone for his sins.
They need people like you to lick up every spoonful of pablum they can dish up.

If you can point me to a version of the real story behind the Tulsa Race Riots, I would gladly appreciate it.

You can't even get a true and accurate story about January 6th, 2021 out of the media.
You think you'll get one 100 years old?
The best you can do are newspaper reports from the actual time frame.
If you think this docudrama is even close to a true and actual accounting. You're out of reach for help.

All I want is a link to your alternative sources. Believe me...I have scoured the internet for an alternative account of what happened in Tulsa in 1921 because I find the official version of events so unbelievable. I'm a historian by education and would absolutely love to find a source that tells the "truth" of what happened 100 years ago.
If you can point me to that source instead of just assuming people are embellishing the story, I would be grateful.
