1946 Columbia Race Riot

My granduncles Rev. Raymond Lockridge, Rev. John Lockridge and Rev. Calvin Lockridge, (my grandfather's brothers who was an Army veteran Sgt.

She shares our history in such a way that you can close your eyes and visualize everything she's saying and be transported directly in the midst of the event. Dr Anderson is a powerful speaker, lecturer, scholar, author, historian, professor, etc of epic proportions. We can certainly learn a lot from her and emulate her passion for searching out the truth and being informed about our history (KNOWLEDGE IS POWER). She is to be applauded on every level, her brilliance is beautiful! Don't you agree? 🙂👍💯💜

The mother was Gladys Stephenson and her son, James Stephenson, was a U.S. Navy Veteran. William Fleming Jr. was the store employee who disrespected Mrs. Stephenson.

Just like in this story, it took one unarmed white man to stand up to these racist “cops” , that allowed Thurgood Marshall to escape the lynching they were planning and go on to become the first black judge on the Supreme Court! It should inspire more white people who know in their hearts what is right, to take action!! It’s no longer ok to just be on the sidelines feeling bad and sending sympathy. We need to step in and take ACTION to protect the Black Lives Matter movement! We need to speak up when you are in a group of all white people and someone says something that you KNOW they wouldn’t say around a black person. SPEAK UP, TAKE ACTION!

[@aprobstayahoo]

School history books are never enough. I read about the 1921 Tulsa race riot in American Heritage. Apparently, when whites riot there is a higher body count and more property damage. Some of the photos of city blocks looked like 1945 Berlin. A white pilot even flew his biplane out of the local airfield to drop incendiaries. And this was only one of the major white race riots during that period, as you've no doubt read or heard. I'd rather take my chances as a white man (which is what I am) in a black riot than as a black man in a white riot. Black men who riot may have 'nothing to lose' but white rioters think nothing can touch them and they go absolutely berserk (from an Old Norse word bersrkr referring to a warrior that fought in a trance-like fury, according to Wikipedia). All this rage against people who, under the circumstances of the time, couldn't possibly have done anything to them. It's tempting to call it a mental illness but it is a product of poisonous upbringing and, ultimately, a choice.

I'm glad she brought up the G.I bill, they tried to deny my Father a loan for our first home in Los Angeles.

[@cherylalt101]

Leroy Marshall They did the same to my father-in-law in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. When he went to the VA, the secretary told him he was not eligible for any benefits even though he'd been released from the Army early because of injury. It wasn't until he was over 60 and his son who was a Captain at the time and also had a real estate license made inquiries that he was finally given his back disability pay and a VA loan certificate in the 80s. But people still want to pretend white privilege doesn't exist. So many people have been helped by their race and don't even realize it happened. I used to work for a company in the 70s who had the receptionist put a little number in pencil on the back of each job application and that number corresponded to the race of the applicant. That way the personnel manager didn't waste his time interviewing people he would never hire and he didn't appear to be discriminating against anyone. How do I know someone more qualified than me hadn't applied for the job that I got and wasn't hired because of racism? White people don't often think about things like that because they don't have to. If someone black gets a promotion though, then they wonder if someone white got cheated because of affirmative action or filling a quota, but they seldom think about the great percentage of the time when minorities are discriminated against.

[@marvinstovall3661]

What year was this?

[@cherylalt101]

Marvin Stovall Hi Marvin! If your talking to me, my father-in-law started asking about his benefits around 1955 I think. He went back 3 or 4 different times attempting to get information and help applying for a VA loan, but he was always told he wasn't eligible. It was late 1980s when my husband was finally able to help his father buy a house and collect his Army disability and back pay. Good old Pine Bluff, Arkansas just wasn't ready for black sharecroppers to become homeowners. That was some straight up racist bullshit! The fact that over a million black veterans were mostly cheated out of their benefits is just another example in the long history of racism especially against blacks in America, but still I hear white privilege doesn't exist!
