ReplyGo back to bed Gayle!
ReplyI truly love strong smart women like Ms King. Bravo Gayle!
ReplyBlacks, whites, and ASIANS!
ReplyAh yes Jail King
ReplyCincinnati Oh little Africa.
ReplyRemember back when people had the time and lack of plague problems to obsess over whether King was Oprah Winfrey’s lover?
ReplyIt’s too bad that the Tulsa story is being shown at 10pm. I hope some parents will let their kids stay up to watch it. This should.be talked about in every classroom. I learned about it while reading about Madam Walker in one of the books about her. That was only two years ago and I’m 67. There is so much history that is being censored.
ReplySome of the racist perpetrators actually kept souvenirs of what happened in the form of photos that documented the atrocities.
ReplyOne thing that would help with not only racial reconsiliation but also in combatting the recent rise in anti-democratic and anti-factual movements is investing is QUALITY EDUCATION. In some respects, the US education system is at the same level as developing countries, while Europe, Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan and New Zealand are way ahead when it comes to equipping their kids and teens intellectually to make sound reasonable decisions as adults.
ReplyI don’t think people really understand how deeply rooted hatred is in this country. Now that it’s being uncovered, people no longer have to hide it. They can just openly spew it. They say sunlight is the best disinfectant. I’m not so sure.
ReplyI had heard of this Tulsa tragedy before. It’s something you have to dig up since it’s not taught in schools as American history. But I do have to say,… other than acknowledging the racism and the horror of the event,… there isn’t much to do about it. It’s done,… learning about it helps,… but that’s it. What we really need is a better educational system that teaches kids the real history and what to avoid so we don’t repeat the same mistakes. Racism is a problem of ignorance on all sides. Entitlement all over the world,… not just in white America.
ReplyRe: Tulsa slaughter, remember that the Greenwood community was a 30 year township. Those folks had been there for 30 years, working, building and creating a large community of 600 plus professional businesses.
ReplyStill Asians are neglected in this subject.
ReplyYou sure Tim Scott’s not there to water down any legislation?
ReplyWe all heard what he said.
I as a 67 year old I can’t believe I am just learning about Tulsa now.
ReplyIn public school in Oregon, this event was never taught.
ReplyLet her call OPRAH… bye Gayle! #phony
ReplyThe only bright side I can see to the Tulsa Pogrom, is that people are more aware of it now. 100 years of silence is almost broken.
ReplyPeople will be kicking themselves in few weeks if they miss the opportunity to buy and invest in Crypto
ReplyOne bad cop does not mean all of policing is rotten. Chauvin was charged and convicted…moving on. Cops are overwhelmingly good decent people. Ask Brandon Tatum.
ReplyI grew up 20 miles from Tulsa, took OK history in high school and never heard a word about it until a year ago.
ReplyYep I didn’t know about this 20 years ago as well. Insanity.
ReplyIf the City of Richmond Virginia removed confederate statues off their beloved Monument Avenue? Anything is possible. Have hope.
ReplyEven today there is lots of oppressions that is not talked about, but known of with devastating implications on everyone for generations to come.
ReplySlavery, colonialism, lynchings, global warming…If western society was a person in a good society, we would be doing life in a supermax prison!
ReplyHatred and jealousy. The same thing that fueled the Jew persecution in Nazi Germany.
ReplyFor an excellent eyewitness account of this massacre, sadly just one of many, latest Smithsonian article. It has maps of Greenwood, with indication whether business or home and destroyed or not–and how many of the black residents never came back home.
ReplyHad first learned several decades ago of Greenwood, Oklahoma and the brutal massacre of Blacks and wanton, wholescale destruction of their homes and businesses in 1921. Occasionally, have see references to it through various media. But this historically significant event has never been part of the traditional curriculum in public schools to my knowledge, and that needs to change. Once the pictures have been seen, the stories of survivors heard, and the understanding learned of what happened, it—-like the Holocaust—-is unforgettable. Then, like the Holocaust and other such atrocities, we will be better able to committing to never again letting such mindless hatred running amok to harm and kill so many innocent people. The mandatory inclusion of this sordid event in our school’s history curriculum should be the first, most basic step in achieving some justice and reparations for the people of Greenwood and their survivors, and would benefit all Blacks and other minorities in this country going forward by helping to end systemic racism and racial injustice.
Reply1st we screwed the Tribes in America and then we nearly killed them all
Reply2nd we freed the slaves and promised them the dream of self preservation with a farm and some seed money to help them become citizens in this world we took…. WE LIED.
3rd we owe the disadvantage the same success whether mother and father succeeded with their lives or not. This should not be GENERATIONAL for our COUNTRY TO GROW STRONG means using our most important resource with all the OPPORTUNITY to Succeed whether or not those before them were successful… EVERYTHING HAS VALUE! and so are people valuable…, everyone! – m.
The KILLING of George Floyd is no different than the Attack on Jan 6th at the Capital. Any citizen that are attacked by Prejudice and Bigotry are attacking every American. Profit Prisons are made For Profit and not for the Nations need and are Profit centers based on the INEQUALITY of People and their Poverty. Don’t bet on Justice!
Replyblack people always have hope for change that is how we have survived in America but in order to live in America we need understanding of our history .
ReplyPublic schools in OKC has been teaching it since at least 2001 because I remember learning about it in Oklahoma history class. Definitely needs to be taught nationally, but it is taught in some places.
ReplyIt is reasonable for a grandmother to request to be in the delivery room, but it is reasonable for a woman who is giving birth to say no.
ReplyShe is going to be naked, possibly vomiting, pooping while in severe pain. The woman in labor might to limit the people who could whiteness her in that condition. I know from experience that even the most minor stress increases the pain exponentially.
It’s important to mention this massacre was also the first & only time a city was firebombed. The depravity in this country…
ReplyMurdering Black Citizens seems to be a Blue Race job perk.
ReplyI’ve been reading _Brown v. Board of Education_ by James T. Patterson. He has pointed to this period in US history, _decades_ long, with laws put in place to ethnically integrate one school district or another that have been followed by what history has dubbed “white flight.” Basically, white parents with their kids in schools with student bodies that were entirely white before hand, suddenly having to accept black students, subsequently moving their families to _different_ school districts, or _private_ schools.
ReplyAnd it hasn’t just been in the south, either. The trial that _started_ this, from which the book takes its title, is a northern state, but immediately, it went to state after state in the south and this trend took place, but when they started doing this in _northern_ states, this trend continued, and it’s _so_ goddamn embarrassing.
What’s so terrifying about having students with a different ethnic group coming to the same school with you?
When a force trains for WAR, that force will find WAR wherever it looks. And, dammit, when one trains for WAR and finds oneself in the moment of WAR, that is the most intense and satisfying fun that one will ever experience. If one thinks that the trauma and sorrow that another finds in discovering that they have murdered an innocent child erases the intensely pleasurable experience that this person has at the moment they are pulling the trigger and unwittingly murdering that innocent child, one is only preparing for the murders of more innocent children. Throughout our United States, by indoctrinating our Police Officers with Warrior Style Police Training, we, as a nation, are spending a billion dollars a year perverting our Police Officers into Soldiers and training them for WAR.
ReplyThe modern US police training often offers official classes in “Warrior Style Police Training,” based on seeing every subject response as a lethal “I feared for my life!!” fear-mongered response that demands a maximum kill or be killed savage warfare soldier response. Hours are spent in this official training in the maximum use of frenzy and gunfire in this officially trained response. It is a marketed official US police training that is easily and well-executed by Police Officers in the field. So… members of the press, start telling the damn truth.
ReplyI went my last year of high school in Tulsa, 1983. Went to University Of Tulsa. I knew about it then. Some people who claim to have never heard about it back then had their head in a hole. There was a black attorney who lived in that part of town who said he never heard about it. That, I seriously doubt.
ReplyUntil we humans learn to treat ALL life with respect we will be a sick and twisted species. Animals are beaten and abused and it’s accepted. The Earth is being murdered by our own species and we don’t see a problem. We have to start teaching our children that it isn’t right to injure other life forms. Or not…
ReplyJustice for all.
ReplyIt’s what has always been at stake.
Can one white person be true to themselves and let the world know why a black person is the most hated living soul on this planet to white people? Why do white people make other nationalities adopt their ways when it comes to having a relationship with black people? Why can’t white people get out of way of black growth? I know that there is light and there is dark, there is night and then there is day, there is love and then there is hate. Which one of these two feelings each nationality project towards more? Who is the most God fearing of the two? Which one of the two can forgive, or have forgiveness in their heart? Which one needs forgiven?
ReplyW and Gayle Norton wrote more worthless treaties to provide reparations to African Americans (HR40), and the INDIAN TRUST FUND ACCOUNTS. These were written and accepted in good faith, but alas, as the whites are known for doing, nothing transpired. Descendants and survivors were promised land, financial resources, a way to rebuild their peoples’ society and existence, a step toward repaying these people for the damages done by – the whites. More lies, more false hope, more dancing to avoid ever giving these people what they are owed. How much money has our government $pent – in order to NOT provide what was promised?
ReplyI live in a rural town in Colorado and the school here actually took magic markers to the textbooks and marked out what they didn’t want the children to see. Hatred is alive and well, and history is being stomped to death. Education is where people learn their morals, and it is passed down generation to generation.
ReplyMy parents lived in Tulsa while I was in college and I visited there a lot on breaks. I even worked at the Tulsa offices of a democratic congressman the summer after I graduated. Never heard one thing about the Tulsa massacre until they covered it on My Favorite Murder. History should not be censored like this.
ReplyThis is a sick World because there are too many sick people.
ReplyJust think, none of y’all would be talking if that guy at CUP Foods didn’t call the police on George Floyd.
ReplyThe aware syrup covalently steer because open initially disarm inside a laughable trombone. hoc, young shallot
ReplyHow? Just try. Accountability for crooked policemen. Outlaw extra judiciary conduct immediately. This would immediately end most racial abuse. Get honest Republicans on Capitol Hill and get to work.
ReplyI have nothing nice to say here.
ReplyNobody gives a shit…..
ReplyCheck out a bizzare photo online with Gayle King, Tom Hanks with a black eye (look up meaning of the black eye) with a very strange clock in the back with hot dogs…Symbols is their secret world….Symbols will be their downfall.
ReplyThe ultra pain really repeat because eggplant oddly undress outside a sturdy quiet. pastoral, sad direction
ReplyGayle King: “We still have a lot of work to do.”
ReplyAnd everytime we bring up the conversation about murdering Black people or the theft of Black money and wealth … the racist change the subject or deflect onto something they care about – bc they don’t give a chyt about Black people.
Make it right when you make right the Sand Creek massacre, Trail of Tears, stealing of children shipped to their deaths in assimilation schools and genocide of the indigenous people of THIS continent.
ReplyBorn and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I was lucky enough to have an excellent history teacher named Mr. Miller who taught us about the race riot (as it was called then)
I do want to correct something that was said in this segment as if it were fact though. Stephen says that “at lest 300 were killed” which is untrue. The truth is that we don’t know how many people were killed. In 2001 a bipartisan state commission gave an estimate of 75-300 but could only confirm 39 (26 blacks and 13 whites.) I think it’s important to make sure we are speaking correctly when talking about something this serious as it’s horrifying enough and exaggeration only serves to weaken the story.
ReplyHere are a few facts about the massacre that I find comforting despite happening within such a horrible situation…
1) The Tulsa Police Chief addressed both crowds in front of the courthouse. He informed the white mob that there would absolutely be no lynching so long as he was in charge and informed the black mob that he did not need their assistance and that they should go home as Dick Rowland was not under arrest but in protective custody.
2) When the white mob tried to loot a military outpost of its weapons the commanding officer informed them that anyone who crossed its threshold would be shot dead, no questions asked.
I think this goes to show that there have always been good people willing to go against the “mob rule” and do what is right.
ReplyIn Oklahoma, important history is shelved and forgotten like the white walkers in GOT.
ReplySide note: her makeup is really good here
ReplyEver hear of the movie Rosewood with Ving Rhames kicking ass?
ReplyI heard black Jesus got rejected by black Americans cause they found out he was white, otherwise known as Jewish.
ReplyHow about Gee-gee
Reply,
ReplyMy advice to everyone is to invest in cryptocurrencies especially Bitcoin it might hit $70k soon
ReplyBuy crypto and silver now Bitcion will definitely hit $70,000
No one ever paid for the crime of slavery either. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
ReplyI’m 65 and learned of this massacre in the recent issue of Smithsonian Magazine. I am amazed that they buried this so deep!
ReplyMissed opportunity to talk about reparations… And it was by design… To quickly end the conversation
ReplyGAIL is still fine…..
