I see literally no evidence of that.
While it is possible for lynching not to be racially based, to say that wasn't the case in Tulsa is just false when the media intentionally hyperbolized and racialized a non-event.
He sounds like someone who grew up in the antebellum south and eventually despised slavery.
Go look up the numbers and demographics I talked about, if you want to see evidence yourself.
If you haven't done this then you have presumption and belief, not evidence.
You said: at least not at the time, in Tulsa.
Go look up the incident, and try again. Don't give me this shit about "belief" when you don't know the facts of the case.
As I said: While it is possible for lynching not to be racially based, to say that wasn't the case in Tulsa is just false when the media intentionally hyperbolized and racialized a non-event.
There was no lynching in the incident, but even so one incident out of a large number does not show bias in the whole - you have to look at the whole to show that, and the data shows the opposite to what you want to believe.
I know you won't because you don't want to have your worldview changed, but go look up the crime numbers and demographics in Tulsa. It's exactly as I said.
It seems like you put a lot of faith in a wikipedia article, but the reality is nobody knows exactly how the incident went down and we never will. What you have are beliefs about what happened
Yes, because 9 of them were killed during the initial gunfight at the courthouse. They failed.
I've already gone through this with someone else. There are no good crime to demographic numbers from Tulsa or Greenwood. The event at Tulsa was certainly racially motivated because it was provoked by racial hysterics in the media.
Get the fuck out of here with that absolutely weak-ass argument. "Nobody really knows" because you don't want to accept any fucking amount of investigation, witness testimony, or photographic evidence.
Absolute relativist nonsense.
