SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER! When I was young this incident was referred to as the Tulsa Race Riot. Today it is called the Tulsa Massacre. THIS sets off alarm bells for me, because when you control the language of the debate you are half way to controlling the debate itself. The real question is NOT what took place in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1921, but historically how it's designated. Recently a condominium filled with people who I would consider wealthy. I mean as a native Oklahoman anyone who can afford to live in an Ocean View Condominium, in Florida is wealthy. At least from my perspective. Anyhow these wealthy people KNEW the attached Garage was badly leaking water and needed repairs BUT they delayed and dithered for between two to four YEARS because the total repair cost was too high! NINETY people DIED because a committee failed to take action in a building that they all LIVED in for at least two to four years. Why? Because basically a group of wealthy people didn't want to pony up the cash for necessary repairs! So? YES, casualty numbers do make a difference. Stalin's is famous for saying, "One death is a tragedy but a million deaths is just a statistic." This is why it's the WORDS we use to describe a historical event, are just as important or even more important then the even itself. So the WORDS we use to NAME an event are just as; if not more; IMPORTANT than the event itself. WORDS should have a clear and common meaning, all parties can agree on! As a amateur student of history, I am very sensitive to the terms used, in a discussion of history. Why? Well for example even though the terms Unborn Baby, and Fetus, technically mean the same thing, they are not equivalent. WELL, the terms RIOT and MASSACRE are not even vaguely similar so how can they BOTH describe the same event. A RIOT is: "Aspontaneous disturmbance of the peace by a crowd." RIOTs have broken out because the Hometeam lost a football game! While Massacre is defined as "The murder, with little or no justifiable cause, of a large number or people." You see WORDS HAVE MEANING. Are those two definitions the same? Because if the definitions are the same or at least equivalent than HISTORY ITSELF HAS ALREADY BEEN REWRITTEN. And WHO has changed histoty? A power mad dictator like Adolf Hitler? A mass murdering tyrant like Joseph Stalin? NO, history has been altered by a small group of BLACK intellectuals. It seems the Media, unelected and unaccountable to anyone, have sometime between the year 1981 and 2021, bestowed the POWER to change the Name of an Important Historical Event, onto a tiny group of black intellectuals that may or may not even represent the black community itself. And apparently I am the only person to EVEN notice the change. How did this happen?

[@MichaelBrown-zp1sf]

We have a similar situation here in South Carolina where back in the early 1960s there was an attempt by South Carolina state college students to integrate a bowling alley in Orangeburg South Carolina. There was a standoff between law enforcement and the students who at some point began to throw rocks and bottles at law enforcement. Law enforcement opened fire on the rioters and killed three and I think injured one or two more. The newspapers and television in South Carolina resurrect this event every year on its anniversary and have dubbed it the Orangeburg massacre. I would hardly call three deaths as a massacre but you're right the change of one word changes the whole narrative.

​@@jjutt87you notice they don't mention a black guy shot a white guy at the end right? They try to make the entire thing sound like an accident or the white guys are the aggressor here. There's 0 facts saying the white guys are the aggressor there. We know for a fact the blacks were heavily outnumbered, but non of them got shot in this scuffle? So, a group of black guys went down to the courthouse and shot a white guy. Which started the Tulsa race riots. Nobody telling you that story.

So basically, men died because the neddy lied about a woman lying and a man running away from the scene. Where were the deputies or the national guard when you needed them. Moral of the story, don't trust the media and don't escalated things to stupid heights over a simple accident in an elevator.

no mention of what they did to that white woman

[@matthewkeyes1757]

Probably got her out of town and moved her somewhere far far away.

[@maryrowe1504]

The truth of what actually happened in the elevator will never be known fully. I grew up in Tulsa and was told several stories about what conspired from the man tripping and accidentally touching her, him pinching her butt or him just saying something untoward. It’s like the Emmitt Till story from a couple of decades later- the girl probably felt a real need to say whatever contact that happened was unwelcome and given the beliefs of the day she may have really felt she was in danger. She also knew that she faced the possibility or even probability of a ruined reputation if she didn’t comply with whatever she was told to say.

Who knows. Since the arrangement was to have the blacks go use that building to find a restroom, it could very well be that some jackhole who didn't like that arranged to have a young white girl be the elevator operator, especially one who might be a bit shy, nervous, or maybe even misinformed and brought up racist.

“Training in morals and good conduct is far more important than Book learning. A child that is cleanly, agreeable, of good character, Well-behaved, even though he be ignorant, is preferable to a child That is rude, unwashed, ill-natured, and yet becoming deeply versed In all the sciences and arts. The reason for this is that the child who Conducts himself well, even though he be ignorant, is of benefit to Others, while an ill-natured, ill-behaved child is corrupted and Harmful To others, even though he be learned. If, however, the child be Trained to be both learned and good, the result is light upon light”. (Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p.135)
