But we see with the situation at and, well, everything just how far journalists will go to avoid upsetting clubs to protect their access.

Obviously turning a blind eye to deliberate and cynical gamesmanship is a mile away from defending an abuser or sportwashing a country but it’s a symptom of the same thing.

“I prefer to report on on-pitch events.”
“Such as coaching to fake injuries, con the officials and waste time?”
“Don’t be silly.”

You gotta work so hard to curate your fool mind to say things this absurd:
"Oklahoma State Superintendant of Schools Ryan Walters says kids can learn about the Tulsa Race Massacre. But without teaching the killing of hundreds as motivated by race.
"...[he] was questioned how teaching about the 1921 murder of hundreds of Black citizens of Tulsa isn't in violation of his ban on teaching what he calls CRT."

It's another hot night in NYC, but there will be some cool music from Eldbjørg Hemsing's Arctic album in the Green-Wood catacombs.

Checking in the main library, forty years back. That week of newspapers from 1921 was missing.

I think it really was a conspiracy of white silence, following the white violence.

There are interviews with the survivors of , worth listening to.

What I heard about the massacre as a white kid was nothing. Absolute silence.

White parents who said nothing about what happened just a decade before they were born.

No "My parents told us..." from my parents.

And my grandparents who were young adults, who had to known, who had to have heard, who had to have seen.

Who decades later said nothing to us.

White silence is poison.

If we aspire to be free of monstrosity, then white people must speak truth.

June 1, 1921 - The Tulsa Massacre, America’s worst race riot, begun the day before over the threat of a lynching, culminated in the complete destruction of the African-American neighborhood of Greenwood in Tulsa leaving nearly 10,000 homeless.

The images are of post cards published and sold in the aftermath.

Today in Labor History May 31, 1921: The Tulsa Race Riot. From May 31 through June 1, deputized whites killed more than 300 African Americans in the worst race riot in U.S. history. The violence began in response to a false report in the Tulsa Tribune accusing a black man of attacking a white girl in an elevator. The headline made the front page. However, there was an accompanying editorial that called for a lynching. White Tulsans went to the African American community of Greenwood (the Black Wall Street) and started shooting black people. They looted and burned 40 square blocks, destroying over 1,400 African American homes, hospitals, schools, and churches. Ten thousand became homeless and had to spend the winter of 1921 living in tents.

Many African American residents fought back, including veterans of World War One. This attempt at self-preservation prompted the deputized whites and National Guardsmen to arrest 6,000 black residents. Furthermore, they bombarded the community from the air in what was likely the first aerial bombardment of mainland U.S. residents. At least a dozen planes, some carrying police, circled the community and dropped burning balls of turpentine. They also shot at residents from the air. Many of the whites were members of the Klan, such as W. Tate Brady, who had also participated in the tarring and feathering of members of the Industrial Workers of the World in 1917.

5/31/1921 was one of this country's most horrifying episodes of racist mob violence. Hundreds of Black residents were killed in the . Survivors lost their livelihoods as a white mob set fire to 35 blocks of the District (aka ). 1,256 homes were destroyed. In recent years, historians & descendants of survivors have worked hard to revive memories of this all but forgotten chapter.
