You really should watch this one. It is a very good. It's nine episodes and it's one of the best ever. Two of the actors, Regina King and Yahya Abdul Mateen II ( he played Black Manta in Aquaman) both won Emmy Awards for their performances
Aigh nigga get the sand out yo panties
God damn this is the first time I'm hearing about that. I believe I may have seen it before but it didn't register. You know how sometimes if you're not in the mind space you'll glaze over something instead of really focusing on it.
My eyes are open now and I hate to say I'm woke now but I am. Fucking white people man
Ha ha so you admit that you
don't know wtf you're talking
about with that Gap Band
bullshit you were talking?
Not surprised a white man didn't know about OUR history. Then again many of our own don't venture out for themselves to really discover who we are.
Along with Tulsa, I also learned about the Red Summer, all the various race riots throughout the South and North, the taking of land from NY Black Farmers (formerly Seneca Valley--turned into Central Park). White people don't want to know the "bad" parts of themselves. Thing is a lot of that information is documented and readily available but largely ignored.

At least he's using his platform to get the information out there to other white people who are like him and had not heard about it. It's not about what you know is what you do about it and they are doing their damnedest to suppress what actually happened in history
What are they calling slavery in texas, Involuntary relocation? Fuck outta here

Shady has turned into a full on troll. All he does now is @ the usual right wing cacs and coons and sit back and giggle. Then he tries to play both sides and start arguments .
I hope he makes a movie about it. His movies always do numbers
Don't forget about The People's Grocery store in Memphis.

The timing of June 2021 when Tom originally wrote the opinion piece and did the interview or the timing of now when DL either found out about it or decided to highlight it?

That's the part that I don't understand. If you're a lil bitch, stay on the bitch's side and be a bitch all the time lol.
Fair enough. You're right i didnt know the history of the interview. However i stand by my statement. Its an attempt to feel bad about our plight without actually doing anything. Which liberals are good at.
Charlie Wilson confirmed that this isn't true:
The Gap Band's Charlie Wilson talks about race massacre, 'You Dropped a Bomb on Me' in ABC podcast
Rumors have persisted for years: Is the song related to the race massacre?
Co-sign this.
Not sure what wealth has to do with it but this article is about a Black man born in Tulsa that hadn't heard of the massacre.
Matthews, 61, was in his 30s at the time. He had grown up in Tulsa and graduated from Tulsa Public Schools.
But, he had never heard this story before.
“I watched it, and I thought it was a fictional movie,” Matthews said. “I couldn’t stop looking at it. It was shocking to me. I couldn’t understand how I could get to be an adult and not know this story.”
That was the first time Matthews learned of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Thirty-five blocks of Black-owned businesses and homes in the affluent Greenwood District were reduced to ash in the two-day rampage. Estimates place the death toll between 100 and 300.
One of the worst incidents of racial violence in American history took place in his hometown, and Matthews, who now leads the Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission, never heard a word of it in school.
“That’s a very common experience of a lot of Oklahomans,” said Joy Hofmeister, Oklahoma’s state superintendent of public schools.
Many, like Matthews and Hofmeister, were well into adulthood when they discovered a wealthy African American district — nicknamed Black Wall Street — existed in Tulsa and that it had been razed in a spree of white violence.
The Oklahoman surveyed 305 people, nearly all of them Oklahomans, and found 83 percent said they never received a full lesson on the Tulsa Race Massacre or Black Wall Street in their K-12 school.
Sixty-one percent said they first heard of it through news media. Others learned from family, a friend, or a movie or TV show.
Anywhere but the inside of a classroom.
“I call it a conspiracy of silence,” Matthews said. “It was purposely not talked about. It’s almost like things that happen in your family that you’re not proud of — people don’t talk about it. I think it’s something our city and state aren’t that proud of and didn’t want to talk about.”

Red Summer 1919
Red Summer
American servicemen returned from the First World War only to find a new type of violent conflict waiting for them at home.
while conservatives cause our plight, right?
cause right now conservatives are godless woman hating, gay bashing, race soldier heretics.
What plight? most black people live in cities and states that are ran by democrats. Neither one of them want you here. When will you ninjas realize this.
Truth be told wonder how many of these Cac atrocities we don't know about and will never hear about, guarantee Cacs have took alot of them to their grave.
