New Oklahoma Law Sparks Debate Over Teaching About Tulsa MassacreOpponents say it is an attempt to stifle lessons about the history of white mobs burning down a prosperous Black community in 1921, killing as many as 300 people. 😱 a law that forbids teachers to teach history? Is there any subject in history that does not address x or y race or ethnicity or citizenship? So, in a few years children will not be able to learn about MOB blm? This is utterly ridiculous - totally 1984! Seems like the only history these republicans want is confederate statues. Enough whitewashing This should be mandatory

Black fear of Tulsa police lingers 100 years after massacreA century after the Tulsa Race Massacre destroyed Black Wall Street and its surroundings, Tulsa has its first Black police chief. Still, Black people in the city where Terence Crutcher was shot and killed by an officer five years ago don't trust police. 90% of news is just about race now, all day long racism 24/7. It's getting so old... What a gaslighting campaign AP has going on now. africaupdates Tulsa has it first black police chief 🤣🤣🤣🤣 - as if this is the first time the face of oppression was black.

100 years after Tulsa Race Massacre, Black mistrust remainsThere's been some progress in the relationship between the Tulsa police and the city's Black community in the 100 years since the Tulsa Race Massacre. The police chief is now a Black man from north Tulsa. But some mistrust remains. ‘Some progress’ doesn’t seem like something to celebrate after 100 years. America needs to do far far better Some mistrust? I think you may need to interview more people of color in that community to better analyze your statement. Putting a Black man in a leadership position of an inherently racist organization is not the progress they think it is.
