The #GQP with another dogwhistle for #racists: #RyanWalters is an utter idiot and the #TulsaMassacre clearly was a case of a racially motivated #lynchmob. The only thing the over 300 victims had done wrong was to be black. #Oklahoma #UnitedStates #racism #GOPasshats https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jul/08/oklahoma-republican-tulsa-race-massacre

Far-right Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters suggested at a public hearing in Norman that lessons about the infamous racial massacre in 1921 that destroyed the most prosperous Black community in Oklahoma don't have to mention race, reported Fox 25 News...#TulsaMassacre..#GOP..#whitenationalism..

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.

..being vouched for by a white employer or other white citizen. Nine thousand African Americans were left homeless and lived in tents well into the winter of 1921.

This assault was met by a brave but unsuccessful armed defence of their community by some Black World War I veterans and others. 2/2

White deputies and members of the National Guard arrested and detained 6,000 Black Tulsans who were released only upon.. 1/2

Help me understand the evolution of the methods that white supremacy used to strip, steal, and suppress Black wealth.

Civil War ended 1865, goes into Jim Crow laws. Black wealth in the 1920s was stolen and demolished by the 1921 Tulsa Massacre (and presumably other similar events).

Golden Twenties for white people a presumably at least partially fueled by wage theft and large scale theft of Black wealth.

Then depression (1929-1941), WWII (1930s to 1945), Black civil rights movement (1960s).

Here's the part I want to understand: Black wealth on a wide scale hasn't seem to grow to the degree of Black Wall Street and Black Washington since the great depression. I presume that's because white supremacist actions become more subtle. More wage theft, redlining, etc, less (nonzero) mass bombing of Black wealth.

How did the systemic elements suppressing Black wealth evolve between 1870 and 2020? Redlining and wage theft are clear examples. I'm interested in not just what but *how*.

I'm down with with further expanding this policy in perpetuity.
