re: Tulsa Massacre - why didn't we know? Why weren't we taught?

Because as awful as the Massacre was, it is now conveniently being weaponized to cover for the decline of the Black nuclear American family caused by 60 years of failed policy prescribed by the Democrat Party for Black America. Instead of fathers raising black children, blacks get government faux savior racist dogs like Biden making life choices for them.

because a white man had been lynched a few years earlier

A link to that would be helpful.

I learned about it a few years ago.

According to the MSM it was an American Wakanda.

When I read up on this event I realized 2 things. 1) It was a terrible thing. 2) I agree with your last sentence. It is my understanding that African Americans were making good strides (under the circumstances) until Johnson's Great Society (socialism) ruined the black families, their education and thus work ethic.

When I was a kid in the 60's my very small N. La town had a lot of black businesses in "the black part of town"...It was usually called ------town back then. Now it was extremely wrong that there were separate schools, doctors and dentists waiting rooms (all the way through my HS years and I graduated in 1979), that many older black folks still can in the back doors of businesses, etc. But there were black businesses like cafes, grocery stores (small mom and pop), funeral homes, beauty shops, barbers, dry cleaners, seamstresses, etc. There were families. They might have been pretty poor, but in my town, a lot of the white folks were as well. Maybe instead of the Great Society, we should have helped some of those businesses get on main street in some of our empty buildings. Maybe desegregation could have happened more easily. Although without court orders, it would have never happened in the schools in the south. It does seem like we took the wrong path at some point.

Thinking back to high school, we never seemed to get much past the Civil War. Reading and researching on my part has filled in the gaps, i.e., including knowledge of the massacre (there are photos online). It happened in 1921 in an affluent black neighborhood. Businesses and homes were burned to the ground and around 300 people were killed.

google Thibodaux Massacre. crazy

Thanks. Will watch.

One thing that is interesting to do:
Use google and read current write ups. Then search for between 2000 and say 2008. The write ups seem to have changed based on that lost manuscript by some lawyer.
