23. Tulsa race riots come to mind
Sat May 2, 2015, 04:04 AM
May 2015

whitey, I'm white btw, burned down the black portion of Tulsa Oklahoma over something as simple as a black man looking lustingly, she claimed, at a white woman. Look it up and read about it. Big stain on our area, this was/is.

We're all Black now and its time for my white ass to join in with my black brothers and sisters and keep this fire going until we stop the shit that the black people have had to put up with from ship to shore, from then to now. If you ask me that is.
Yes it is about Slavery, that was the beginning, the place the treatment of black people started. Its past time to stop this. Matters not the color of a persons skin, it matters whats in their heart. if time hasn't shown us anything else its shown us that black people have a Giant Good Heart to have put up with the shit they have had to for so long.

All black people are asking for is a fair shake
