You think when segregation ended that white men said, “oh let me welcome the black man into our neighborhoods and schools”?
The younger generations won’t tolerate the BS, and with these good ole boys dying off, it will change eventually, and it’s about time.
Do you believe that the son should pay for the sins of his father? -

Americans have been taught that blacks and whites are equal since the 1950s. Barely anyone in 2020 is even alive that was taught otherwise.
In 2070, you'll see the exact same phenomena, and people will still be blaming the same reasons, and probably still the small minority white people that are around. -

If the media would stop pissing gasoline on the candle the fire would have burned out long ago. -
2020-08-07 at 1:47 AM UTCYes Technologist we know that blacks were bought and sold as property for over 200 years.
It's been nearly 200 years in most places since that happened. Still yet you have crime, poverty, and drug addiction rampant in black communities. Just like those things are rampant in black led countries. Coincidence? -

Oh and yes, everyone follows what they were taught🙄
Ask Finny if he listened to what he was “taught”. And what exactly is taught? Are you saying there were classes on how to stop being a racist? -

By the Democratic Party. The Republicans passed the civil rights acts. In fact the Republicans ended slavery. -

Ever heard of Black Wall Street? Maybe you should.

BTW, the excuse that a “black man raped a white woman”, was commonly used as a reason to lynch black men they “just didn’t like”. -

lol, that article is extremely one-sided
where it says '300 were killed', not even 100 bodies have been found
where it says 'scuffles broke out' it means that several white people were shot, which is what prompted the white mob to forcefully gentrify the neighbourhood -
2020-08-07 at 3:04 AM UTCSo I found an article that sucked, too buzzed to read it.
Here’s a better one.

2020-08-07 at 3:09 AM UTCYeah it's a shame that it happened but both sides escalated hard, it wasn't just a one-sided massacre

Originally posted by Technologist As far as body count it sure was. I know they don’t know the exact numbers, but it was largely blacks.
Similar to the body count that'll happen if the liberals try to start a war with the conservatives in the USA.
But yes black wall street set an example that it can be done. Let's stop protesting and get working my niggas.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2020-08-07 at 3:31 AM UTCLol black wall street. You liberals actually believe this kinda shit happens in today's day and age?

2020-08-07 at 4:06 AM UTCWhat was that awesome black neighbourhood in the 50s that got burned down by angry whities? It was really good looking and well run, a lot of prosperous businesses.

"Black wall Street"?
They're claiming there was a secret genocide of black people there too - just another blood libel. -

yeah I'm convinced the only reason it's become a popular talking point is because that retarded Watchmen remake brought it up.
first five minutes or so talk about it.
basically just under 100 bodies have been found, they claim that hundreds more were dumped in mass graves but were never able to find them - it's possible they just fled.
that and most 'sources' only mention an initial 'scuffle' that kicked off the white mob patronising the black area of town, when in actuality there was a pretty significant shootout that whites got the losing end of. -

Yes 10 unarmed white men were shot.
The idea that the USA would cover up a mass killing of citizens on its core territory in the 20th Century is ludicrous though, and speaks to a deeply deranged perception of reality. Everyone who died in that incident was given a death cert, proper burial, and the death investigated. The US isn't Israel just yet.
