Reminder that Tulsa was the response to a race riot, and the reason it got shilled so hard last year was to demoralize white people in order to prevent them from fighting back. It's why they lost their shit each time white people offered the slightest bit of resistance against the mob.
It was a race riot. There was no "massacre". This revisionist history is just like the so-called native genocide in Canada. Still searching for those mass graves.
But yes most modern happenings can be blamed on shitty journalists.
It was much more of a massacre than the Valentine's Day Massacre which was just 6 mobsters wasted by fake cops, or the Fetterman Massacre which was just a company of soldiers ambushed by the Injuns.
(Speaking of the latter: https://www.historynet.com/bugler-adolph-metzger-died-bravely-combat.htm)
Makes you wonder if it was intentional race division similar to what we have now. Like you could just assume it's papers trying to make a buck but considering how long this has been going on and us knowing full well what the Soviet Union's approach was, it seems entirely possible.
The soviets were still occupied at home at that time (international communism was a pipe dream), but you could legitimately say the races in America were divided back then. That's how people wanted it. Black folk kept to their side of town and were doing fairly well. The KKK was accepted as a normal social organization in Oklahoma at the time, like the Rotary Club, and it wouldn't take much to convince White people that a "darkie" had raped a woman.
It was a little later that the communists noticed and started agitating racial divisions to sew discord.
The most amusing thing about that thread is that twitter apparently thinks that normal photos of normal-looking black people are "sensitive content".
Oh, I remember this one. As in Canada, they've been swearing the number of dead is much higher than official totals, and they kept "finding" mass grave sites which turned out not to have any bodies. Then someone got the bright idea to look in the old Potter's Field, and sure enough, bodies. No real evidence they're people killed but unrecorded in the Tulsa riots, but whatevers.
(Tulsa, dammit)
