Drunk Black History | Tulsa Race Riot

[@ZayabelDraga13]

I’m glad I learned this in class, my CUSH teacher went against school policy and taught us a lot of things others didn’t want to talk about

[@erduisagfdas35235436]

As a poc that was born and raised in Oklahoma I knew nothing about this from my school system but heard the stories from my great grandmother . It was truly a horrible thing

[@onimichelle4340]

I, too, only learned of this via Twitter. It should be the first lesson in school for every grade IMO. I'm horrified every time I hear this story. Hate and prejudice truly are the most heinous things on this planet. Thank you for these lessons, Tre.

[@DanayaAzure]

Chile they never taught us that in school either. Absolutely loving this series

[@MarioPartyMasterable]

I learned about the Tulsa Race Riots in undergrad because my professor grew up right outside the epicenter of it. So she told us stories about it and i remember leaving class that day in tears cuz i was so devastated that it happened. Thank you so much Tré for sharing this and thank you for this series. So glad and honored to be following your journey for as long as i have. Good luck at Julliard!

[@Bryce77789]

I live in Tulsa Oklahoma and it’s crazy that all this happened here

[@whitefoxruso]

This one really upset me when I learned about it because the innocent who were simply thriving were massacred for no good reason and it’s just infuriating and hurts that people in the present day still don’t know about it

[@queerlybelovdd]

i remember learning about this in my 20s and being shook to my core. because up until then, i'd learned about black american history through a filter of white propaganda. so it was all "and then things worked out" or "and then they were free" turning into this message of if we just pull it together than we can rise above racism. this was the first time i realized how much that's all bs. it still messes me up to hear about this, and seeing it re-enacted in lovecraft country was tough.

[@xxthetruth215xx]

Tre I love this series, cut aways with your characters enacting what you're discussing each episode would be funny and interesting as hell, especially with Drea Huge thank you for continuing to bring light and attention to these events, we need to continue the conversation

[@NubianQueen_xo]

🔥⚔️

[@raylaxo5926]

Thanks for bringing light into my city. Hopefully you can come here one day and see what once was a great and thriving Black Walk Street. Edit: this wasn’t even part of our curriculum, it wasn’t mandatory for us to learn it. My history teacher put it in her own hands to make us do a big project: recreate Black Wall Street on a map- the street names, the rail road, houses, churches, etc; very vigorous and detailed. One day the school on the intercom told all sophomores to report outside by the Walk of Fame. We went out there and our teacher was BURNING our projects. We were livid, but the message was to show how all the hard work was gone in an instant and how those people felt when it happened. We didn’t say anything, we just watched it burned.

[@reggiereg2064]

Your teacher is a real one for that

[@TonyPatrone1]

When Tre said “ I’m sorry y’all, I’m drunk and I’m getting mad” I felt that way at the same time

[@AlwaysKG.]

This needs to be a tv show

[@TheGamingMalamutt]

I find it incredibly interesting that 2018 a ton of graves were found via radar, digging started in 2020 and only THEN did the Oklahoma Department of Education decide "Yea let's make this mandatory, before we get exposed" like what?

[@aaronbeauchamp5994]

I also didn’t know about the Tulsa Race Massacre in high school. I learned about it in my Intro to African American Studies class my sophomore year of college

[@zuggygaming2536]

I actually heard of the Tulsa Masacre from an HBO show a few years back (I think it was Watchmen?) and I had to go research because I couldn't believe that shit was true. It was insane. I should clarify I am not from or in the US so a lot of Black History is new to me, but most of the major things I had heard of before when I learned about this. It's trully messed up that this isn't taught properly.

[@BEYZUSx]

i could literally watch this for hours. your voice, your delivery, your natural hilarity, yo drunk ass 😭, fucking amazing. and very needed this bhm 🫶🏾💗

[@jigglejello]

I love that you are doing these!!! BRAVA

[@Jay-oe7fw]

Thank you for this consistent flow of much needed education Tré. ❤️

[@kayd690]

Crazy they *conveniently* left this out of my Oklahoma history class in high school. And that it was REQUIRED to graduate makes it all the better in the hypocrisy. But you bet your butt I learned there are 77 counties there. I always hated living in Oklahoma and I’m beyond glad I don’t any longer.

[@DominicGibbs]

them vocals ❗️❗️😂😂

[@Bexinmo]

I knew about it, but not from my Kansas City Missouri Public School Education. My mom told me about some of it. I read some stuff on the Facebook about Black Wall Street, and the destruction. I need to learn more.

[@kanj_dan5442]

Tre the historian teaching black history fr💚💚

[@detroitsmooth7520]

There was also the Rosewood Massacre... Levy County - Florida.

[@mirandaalexis]

I learned about it in elementary school but nothing in college

[@SamuelSandersSLS]

I am aware of the Tulsa Race Riot but enjoyed your spin. Great job!

[@ilissajames2973]

I had only learned about it via "Lovecraft Country", and I'm in my 30s 😔

[@larrytenort9333]

So glad you back on KZbin

[@telayajackson1.0]

Thank you, Tre Melvin

[@_MAKARI_]

TALK ABOUT THE COLOMBIA GIRLS (it’s a active group today that singlehanded took true black history out of school and made sure to praise the south)

[@cecetv8434]

i just love you, the end ❤️

[@deirdrelyons3895]

Love this series!!!!

[@nerrissarichards]

Knew about it(but thank you for filling in some extra details),hate it and hate that they have the nerve to always talk about the “boot straps” we should pull ourselves up by, when they literally burnt them bitches just because 🙃

[@dprincess0]

I Love ur video's!:)

[@JusQueenn]

Dropping straight knowledge ❤

[@midoriusagi432]

Thank you for bringing/keeping this history to fore.

[@miamarie0613]

Ngl, I legit knew nothing about this event until now, and it breaks my heart hearing what went on back then. All schools and the people who run them need to do better on making sure every part of history, whether it's good or bad, is taught to all growing individuals that attend their schools. It should not have taken almost a century for these people to finally decide to let teachers talk about this event in classes, it's sad and ridiculous smh😒 But thankU Tre for speaking on this matter and enlightening us more on this lost event in history😊🫶🏾💙

[@iamuhura]

love this series. thank you for this great Black History Month content!
