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.
The people wanting a lynching had already failed before any of the events happened, with the sheriff successfully guarding the jail.
You know nothing.
The suspect wasn't at the jail. He was at the Courthouse.
Wow you are so dedicated to protecting your worldview.
Ever consider they have jails at courthouses? What a 'tard.
BTW it's easy to find the racial breakdown of lynchings in Tulsa at the time, not like you even tried though.
