1921 Tulsa Race Riot:Survivors & Decendants Recall :PART TWO

Reporter Tim Estiloz details the story of the 1921 Tulsa, Oklahoma Race Riots in this PART TWO portion. This infamous and deadly tragedy is one of the nation's little known sad chapters in our troubled history of race relations. The riot began with a false accusation of rape... and led many white residents of 1921 Tulsa to descend upon and literally burn, kill and destroy... a once-thriving black populated section of Tulsa called Greenwood. This area was so prosperous - before the riot - that it was referred to as the "Black Wall Street". The carnage was unbelievable and the effects still resonate today. This video - first broadcast on TV in 1997 - includes recollections of eyewitnesses to the tragedy, historians and incredible film footage and photos shot of the burning buildings and carnage - as it was happening. This story BEGINS on "You Tube" with the title "1921 Tulsa Race Riot: Survivors & Descendants Recall - PART ONE". Look that up to get both chapters of this story.

This story was co-produced by Tim Estiloz. Estiloz is now an entertainment reporter for CN8 - The Comcast Network.

Bottom line is. Blacks need to stay out of white neighborhoods because whites have more prominent places and are more progressive. Blacks just want to leech off us. Stay in your own hoods you useless asshole and practice your great "culture". Your a pathetic race nowadays. The modern blacks give the blacks whoe TRULY suffered a bad name. I feel bad for the older generations being treated the way they were, but you cant ignore what modern blacks have dont to society. Scum bags

I wrestled with whether or not to allow this posting above to remain. It is TRULY OFFENSIVE... yet, I decided to allow this one to remain for one reason only - to remind decent people that evil, racist people still exist in this country and abroad as well.

Do not respond in anger or profanity to the above posting... but intelligent comments will be allowed. I won't allow name calling to debase this thread.

Remember racism not only affects blacks and whites - but latinos and others as well.

I'd like to know who the asshole was that greenlighted the bombing of an american city by american bombers. How fuckin stupid can we be. Up until 5/20/08 I have never heard about this god damn tragedy. How many times do we have to kick each other in the face before we realize that we are all in this together.

Racism is a sputtering flame that begs to be put out....but ignorance keeps it going. Today I am ashamed to be an American.

[FilmFanTV]

Your passion is admirable. Just to clarify - it was not Government American bombers that bombed the black section of Tulsa. Renegade white rioters versed in piloting planes,,, used nearby airplanes from a local airfield to do the deed.

[ReallyGeekyChick]

Where did the planes with bombs come from????

[FilmFanTV]

This took place shortly after World War One - when many old aircraft from the war were at local airfields... and many pilots from the war were nearby. The "Bombs" were actually "molotov cocktails" - bottles filled with gasoline with flaming cloth wicks inserted to ignite them on impact to burn the homes and businesses.

[dynamicdesign101]

america dont care about this, they dont even teach this stuff in schools. we just learn about our evil "white heros"

[Mesheka24]

Wow they dropd bombs didnt no that! Now who had bombs then hmmm....Sad

[assadpakisoldier]

pakis are the best you dogs

[ReinGatto1]

You don't have to feel ashamed to be an American. Every country has major flaws... We just need to improve for the future generations, don't ch'ya think? ;)

[ReinGatto1]

Whites are not the only racists. It just depends on the individual person. And yeah, Jesus was definitly not a scrawny white guy. Since he was a carpenter, especially. I really don't get how people think that.

[ReinGatto1]

No, my music teacher taught us about this event. Only problem was, was that he acted like (Because he was kind of singling out people) (I don't think he realized he was doing this) the white part had to be sent on a guilt trip. It's a sad time in history, but no one in that class had anything to do with the actual riot.

[waffiki]

even though we love and trust another race for now, when the going gets tough to them and if we prosper they will not hesitate to destroy us.

i am afraid colour people should learn to trust ourselves only.

love others but never ever trust them. trust only God and ourselves.

i have never heard of tulsa until yesterday 16th march 2009 and i am 49 years old.

how did they keep it secret?

[iceoilers]

Don't know if it has been mentioned but from what I hear what started this tererrible event was a black man was accused of rapping a white women. sad day in Tulsa.

[tmra21]

HOW dare you!You worthless sack of shit! I am a black woman from Tulsa, Ok. My family owned a prominent business in the "black wallstreet" of Tulsa. We had our own houses, business and churches. We didn't need or ask anything of white folks. we accepted seg and made the best of it. We had it for ourselves and we did it by ourselves. Until you white people burned it to the ground, because you hate to see black men doing good for themselves. Come to greenwood now muthafckr!

[candireign1]

Oh really, if we were scum bags then, why do white people want to be black? Burning your skin, lip injections, but implants, breast implants, botox treatments, rap music, black pop music, hip hop dancing etc. If whites would not have come to our land and would have stayed in their caves eating raw meat out of their grandmothers scull in below zero degree weather, you wouldn't have to be bothered with blacks and their culture would you? By the way, your government was established by blacks! LOL!
