8. So much hatred for their fellow men, women. Why are THEY in charge?

Wed Apr 20, 2016, 01:47 PM

Apr 2016

Why doesn't the community do something about it?

Is the entire city this sick, too?

I do remember learning about the Tulsa Riot, when the whites went upon a rampage over an invented accusation, and even enlisted airplanes and dropped bombs on the segregated section where black people had offices, stores, homes, etc. as they burned it to the ground in pure fury.

They didn't bother to learn about the story's accuracy, and they didn't care. It was merely an opportunity for them to vent their psychotic hatred on another group of people.

As already mentioned in this thread, the article is absolutely painful to read.

God help those who live without powerful connections in Tulsa. It would be a living hell.
