The Tulsa Race Massacre and the Jim Crow Era happened in modern history.
It wasn't long ago, it was modern.
For Context: My mother was born during the time of Jim Crow. My grandmother was born prior to Tulsa Race Mssacre.

WWII was an interesting time, we had racism and bigotry in both America and Germany.
So they fought against racism in Europe and returned home with it in America.

If you search the history books, you will find that the LGBTQIA community was actually treated like pariahs by the Reagan admin and others.

Dennis Prager: "During the AIDS crisis, can you imagine if gay men and intravenous drug users...had they been pariahs the way the non-vaccinated are? But it would've been inconceivable"
The downward spiral of Trucker wages is one of the reason we are in an inflationary period. A depression in trucker wages creates shortage, and shortages in the labor market has a direct impact on prices.

This is why we must fight for a culturally competent curriculum for America's public school students.
This isn't about Critical Race Theory, it is about telling our young people the truth about what happened in the United States.
We need to tell the truth!

“1996 congress passed the illegal immigration reform and immigration responsibility act. That act makes it explicitly illegal for noncitizens to vote… according to The Heritage Foundation there’s been fewer than 50 cases of noncitizens voting since 2002”

It is clear that discrimination and racism are the

threat to capitalism and economic gain.
#RememberTulsa
That is the most disheartening thing about the
#TuskegeeAirmen
story. They fought so hard for Democracy aboard, and yet still had no access to the Democracy at home.

Yes, indeed.
When Black folks are given the space to build community, economic gain is a dead giveaway.
Sadly, the ability to build community is often obstructed by misguided policy, racism and discrimination.
#RememberTulsa
so much of what we know about Black Wall Street isn’t about the wealth, but about the creation of community, of Black community, for a thriving Black people.

When Black folks are asked to move on from Jim Crow, I remember the story of the
#TuskegeeAirmen
. They fought for freedom, they weren’t afforded in the US.
We can’t move on from this part of American history, until we can all acknowledge the impact racism has on US society

The story of Greenwood was one of success.
Birthed out of segregation, Black people created their own society, built their own economy and created a culture based on capitalism.
Sadly, it was destroyed and pillaged by White Supremacy.

The Tulsa Massacre was started by misinformation and fake news.
Sadly, fake news and misinformation often times works against Black people and their existence--both in the past and in the modern day.

FACT: Mary E. Parrish, a trained journalist, gathered eyewitness accounts from survivors of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre and chronicled her own experience fleeing the violence with her young daughter.

Democrats also must confront GOP LIES as soon as they appear on the stage. CRT isn't being taught in VA schools, but by ignoring the argument, Dems allowed it to fester, grow and turn into a wildfire.

Similarly, I watched the entire Good Times series in syndication at about age 12-13. This scene/monologue by Ester Role is by far one of the most memorable TV moments! 📺
I watched Good Times in syndication years after it was on and was a little too young to connect with a lot of the shows main storylines. I think this might be the first TV death I saw of a non action show character

Senior Vice President of News Alan Komissaroff passed away tonight at the young age of 47. 😢 Sending my thoughts and prayers to Alan’s wife, kids and family.
To clarify,

said nothing disrespectful to me. My annoyance is at the members of Congress who continue to either flirt with anti American sentiments for clout, or defend those that do. Richard did neither.
