Did anyone else watch this 2 hour piece of propaganda/race-baiting?
First, they spent 45 minutes telling us that America was and still is violently racist. Then, they spent 30 minutes explaining how Dick Rowland didn't assault Sarah Page and that he lost his balance and bumped into her, but he was scared he would be accused of assault so he ran. Then, according to the narrative, the local black community formed a mob, I mean a peaceful gathering, to protect Rowland against a lynch mob. When a white man tried to take a gun from a black man, the gun accidentally went off starting the "Tulsa Massacre". The next 30 minutes were advocating for reparations. The last segment was again talking about modern black victimhood at the hands of the white man.
They changed the story and embellished to make for a more emotional program. There were plenty of race riots that started with a white mob. Some, if not most, were never fully reported. In my area, there was a race riot around 100 years ago that started with a white lynch mob trying to break into the local jail to lynch a black man. It was reported that only a few people died, but family stories passed down tell that the deaths were in the hundreds. So why would they make a deceptive story about the Tulsa riots when there are so many other stories to tell and to tell them in ways to show how much we have in common and how far we've come as a nation?
