Survivor Of Tulsa Race Massacre Calls on U.S. To Recognize Event
Democrats founded the KKK and committed all of the atrocities documented in this video.
Why can't give miss Fletcher her land back? And the others there land back!!!
All LIES
To those who deny this ever happened or even downplay it, please provide credible sources for your claims.
Yet there are still people saying that there is no black person alive who experienced the brutal reality’s of BLATANT racism.
The tragedy of Tulsa massacre is one of prime example and reminder of how genocidal oppressive vile and depraved racism and white supremacy truly is and how unacceptable and inexcusable of human rights violations of African Americans where back then and today
I think all of the Southern plantation owners so be compensated for all of their lost plantations and land taken from then during the Civil war too. Everything they lost should be replaces as well. What they heck. Or is this just for skin color.
When United States declared independence in 1776, more than 5 million native Indians were estimated to be living in the country. By 1900, the population dropped to only 250,000. The drastic reduction was due to state sanction killings and other abusive policies. That's genocide! Now the US is trying to accuse China of making genocide in Xinjiang but forgets about its own real genocide done to the native Indians. American hypocrisy and double standard attitude is so obvious. Shame on America.
God bless this model American. May this travesty of justice never be repeated. PEACEFULLY CO-EXIST PLEASE.
She tells her story to a guy who was besties with a KKK HR manager, lol. Wonder why this guy never had this woman befor congress before now? Likely because he didn't need any black votes.
She is reading from a script that she didn’t witness.
Lester Holt is a total D-bag and liar.
Reparation and vengeance are necessary. Since the cowards who inflicted the massacre have never answered for their crimes in life, their legacies must be made to answer.
If I were descended from a person who massacred innocent business owners, I would owe something to the descendants of the victim(s). The same should be applied here – albeit with temperance so this can lead to closure and healing.
Hatred passed down from her. Majority involved arent alive. No reparations should be given. She got welfare, affirmative action & over representation.
Absolutely right, I am 57 yrs old, and I have never heard of this happening in OKLAHOMA
Beautiful God bless you â¤ðŸ™ÂÂðŸÂ¾ðŸ™ÂÂðŸÂ¾
Living and breathing history. Awesome. She endured real racism. Not the garbage that this generation complains about. She comes from a generation where people had values and morals. Values and morals that were not subjective. A generation where people reverence GOD. My Great Grandfather and mother were in Oklahoma at that time also.
Still she can read at age 107
Oh please. She’s being used as a political tool to push radical ideology. Someone probably wrote that for her. Pathetic.
“Tulsa 1921: An American Tragedy.†The special airs Monday, May 31 at 10 p.m. ET on CBS.
Darn! Hitler was a Novice!
The same people who are angry about her speaking about her 100 years old experience will turn around and praise the American Revolution. History is only relevant when it doesn't expose this nations evil. They are evil hypocrites more upset about racism discussed than the fact that it happened, and they never got recognition nor justice. Reminds me of the people more angry the molested child spoke out than about the violation itself. All perverse.
😢
this and redacting the works of the 1619 project–making laws to cease the teaching of american slavery… mc connell and others are hard at it.. a life can be extinguished.. the soul will require justification and DOES LIVE (on) in perpetuity..
Republicans are inferior
Other countries should recognise this as a genocide.
Go ahead mom mom. I hope she don't have PSTD.
I understand what viola fletcher is talking about. This and other atrocities against Black has reach Heaven and I pray to God to intervene and recompense to this and other wrongs.
