[–] _haha_oh_wow_@piefed.social 47 points 7 months ago (3 children) Now look up the Tulsa Massacre permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 33 points 7 months ago Once i learned about what they did I can't forget it and will always bring up to people when relevant. Fucking insane what they burned it to the ground because they couldn't stand successful black people. And not one person ever faced justice for this. permalink fedilink source parent [–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago (2 children) I have family in Tulsa that had never heard of that until I brought it up when I learned about it a few years ago. Crazy shit man. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] LMurch 5 points 7 months ago (1 child) I didn't learn about the Tulsa Massacre until the first Trump term. I'm over 50 years old. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SarahValentine@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 7 months ago* (1 child) I watched the Watchmen TV series a couple years back (at age 40) and during the Tulsa massacre scene I was like "oh this takes place in an alternate history where the KKK won" Then next year in college I took a course in American History... oof. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 child) I'm not American, but I also learned about it watching the Watchmen series, then Wikipedia. Wasn't that surprised, though. The only time I went to the USA some kids threw a heavy rock through our camping tent window while we, Mexican kids, were away. It didn't strike me like some kids mischief even at that time. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SarahValentine@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago* (1 child) There is an unfortunate anti-homeless sentiment in some parts of the US, where people will wreck camping tents on sight regardless of the occupants' skin color. I'm sorry you had to deal with such hateful behavior. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago (1 child) It was at some Boy Scouts of America event. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SarahValentine@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago (1 child) Oh yeah, probably racism then.

But as a kid you don't really grasp that. They are supposed to be like, at least, not racists. But I can't blame them, I guess it's in their culture. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SarahValentine@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago It is the culture. Adults indoctrinating hatred into their children. I was stained by it in my youth and had to do a lot of un-learning as I grew up. I'd blame the parents not the kids, but once those kids grow up they have the choice to decide what kind of people they want to be. Too many choose to stay hateful. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 1 point 7 months ago There were also a number of similar incidents elsewhere. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TowardsTheFuture@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago Or rosewood Florida, two years later.
