If people keep talking about it\u2026 okay
The thing about the Tulsa Massacre, Tulsa had been “Black Wall Street” okay but not in the sense there were stock traders there, like there was black capital for deployment there
Why?
Because these black homesteaders had been finally allowed in on the weakest-ass lands down in Oklahoma once they decided for it to not be totally Indian Territory and they got these shitty-ass rock farms and then oil was discovered and they got Beverly Hillbillies rich
And the money brought new people in and Tulsa was noted as the only place in America where white people were servants in black households
So it makes sense it was so radical, biplanes dropping flaming pitch balls on tar roofs to burn \u2013 in an interwar period of racial and class conflict, it wasn’t just running out the darkies, it was also rising up against the wealthy bosses
