104 Years Ago today - Black Wall Street Perished

[JustAnotherGen]

Perished at the hands of a mob of anti-Black White Supremacists egged on by the Continuing Culture of allowing the beliefs and thoughts of the CSA to remain legal.

The first descendant of the victims has been certified but being certified doesn't mean you get your family's wealth plus interest returned to you.

Anti-Blackness meant neither Biden nor Harris would be allowed to win. We had a once in a generation chance to set things right - but zero consideration for the Contributions and LOSSES of Black Americans - lead the maga Repub maggoty voters to victory.

1. Thanks for the historical reminder. IIRC the jealous racists even bombed the district with war plances of the time.

All the wealth and property was lost and up until a couple of years ago the last remaining surivors has still not been compensated for their families losses.

2. Indeed they did

There are stories of poor white women running around in the fur coats and jewelry of Black women whose husbands had EARNED it for them.

3. The destruction was all over the south

They could not bear to see black people prosper, so they made the white woman was violated excuse to burn down their businesses and to force you to buy from them. Why are we reliving the same racist bs our ancestors went through?

4. Now now Keepthesoulalive

That would be violating their constitutional right to think, feel, and protect White Supremacy. Never mind that the people who THINK these things ALWAYS ACT ON THEIR THOUGHTS.

Germany, France, Italy . . . they've got how to deal with foaming at the mouth anti-semites and racists right.

Meanwhile I'm all over here humming Mississippi God Damn. "Go slow" so we can cater to people who made life choices that made them Losers.
