New report on the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 (1 Viewer)

Oh, because Edward Pollard was a Confederate sympathizer then he is to be rejected. As though all these quotes you and others give come from Union soldeirs or sources are credible because they are from the Union? Pollard is source material.

My opinion on Fort Pillow is that it is labeled a massacre because of the large number of blacks killed. It was an embarassment to the yankees and their use of black troops. Better to be labeled a massacre after surrender than a product of black troops cowardice during the fight.

Oh my, White Supremacy! How evil those Southernors were. Lincoln was a white supremacist as were most whites in that day, North and South. Though the North today doesn't want to admit it.

Ever heard of 'Manifest Destiny'? The Yankees believed in it. Only it didn't entail blacks.

Fort Pillow was called a massacre because of the slaughter of troops who had surrendered.

Black mob shoots white people resulting in white mob shooting black people over 100 years ago. How many reports do you need?

There there.

Some people refuse to accept any knowledge that conflicts with their beliefs - sad it is.

A little bit of crime-seeking I had not heard of - The Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act - was the basis for a report from the Dept of Justice released this past Friday, 10 Jan 2025.

The city of Tulsa has in recent years begun to acknowledge the atrocity of the massacre that for many years was covered up. In 1921, the Black Wall Street Memorial was unveiled. In 1924, memorial stones were raised in Oaklawn Cemetary, one was for WWI veteran C. L. Daniel and the other for the hundreds of unidentified victims that have been excavated.

When will some Americans accept that racism was - and is - part of the history of the United States - a history that needs to be taught to kids and adults?

Most do.
I suspect it will never be all, as one generation teaches racism to the next.
