A:

Good old bigotry is back on the March.. lots of pointed hats and white sheets are selling high again.. America just has to bring back those good old days.. 

 

As the teabaggers have been screaming for.. their wonderful days of 100 years ago will give them the freedom to do this all over again..

1921: UNITED STATES. After a black teenager stumbles into a white woman on his way to a segregated washroom, a mob of ten thousand whites goes on a three day-long rampage and massacres three hundred and fifty black Americans in Tulsa, Oklahoma in another one of America's recurring pogroms.

Police and the National Guard join in the massacre. Airplanes are used to drop dynamite on black areas of the city. White mobs, some deputized by police, destroy six hundred black-owned businesses, burn three thousand homes, twenty one churches, libraries, schools and a hospital. A thirty five block area of the black community of Greenwood, an area so prosperous it is known nationally as Black Wall Street, is completely destroyed. Approximately 16,000 blacks are made homeless and flee for their lives. Martial law is declared and house to house searches are conducted for blacks. Some six thousand black people are held in concentration camps "for their own good". When martial law is revoked, black Americans are forced to wear Stars of David, sorry, green cards signed by their employers on their clothing. If found without a card, they are subject to arrest.

Many of the victims of the Tulsa massacre are buried in mass graves or simply dumped in the Arkansas River. No white is ever charged with a crime as a result of the slaughter.
