Based on this sounds like your vote should be yes. In the United States of America it wasn't going to happen. Do we just let this slide? Could you look these people in the eye and say, "sucks what happened but you get nothing?" That area known as black wall street was full of people prospering financially. All that generational wealth was stolen. Do we just ignore that as well?
I'm just asking the question
I'm in no way introducing the topic of reparations for slavery. This topic is for this incident only.I think what you're missing is that the state was complicit in the massacre. They didn't really stop it and certainly the local police didn't stop it and probably participated in it.
See this excerpt
"During the early hours of the conflict local authorities did little to stem the growing crisis. Indeed, shortly after the outbreak of gunfire at the courthouse, Tulsa police officers deputized former members of the lynch mob and, according to an eyewitness, instructed them to "get a gun and get a n-word". Local units of the National Guard were mobilized, but they spent most of the night protecting a white neighborhood from a feared, but nonexistent, black counterattack"

Not exactly a both sides issue if you ask me. Seems very one sided and nothing at all like today. It's one of the great atrocities in US history. The more I read about it the more I feel that yes there should be reparations for surviving families and this issue can be separated from the question of general reparations for slavery.
I answered yes under similar conditions. Though, I think that remunerations should also extend to the children and grand children of those alive. It's a token measure at this point, but paying reparations to the entire family tree from all affected 100 years ago would become excessive due to the population growth in that particular cohort's family trees.My answer is that if the state of Oklahoma wants to pay something to the three survivors of it who are still alive, I would support that. Extending it to future generations who were not alive at the time is not feasible because it opens the floodgates for reparations for every bad act since time immemorial. It has to be limited in some way. Limiting to those who were lives in being at the time it occurred seems like the least bad option among a number of imperfect options.
We should get a list of family members from the survivors and all that were killed in Tulsa. I agree how far in these families we should go. Once that list is compiled come up with a fair settlement.I answered yes under similar conditions.

Think that makes up for lost accumulated wealth the families killed would have had today? What about the families who don't have survivors today? Why don't they deserve to have their accumulated wealth restored? This is part of the wealth gap we have today between black and white families.I would just give the three elderly survivors a couple million bucks each. They'll be dead soon and will pass it on to their children and grandchildren.

That's fucking mighty bold and very very funny coming from the resident self owning moron of these parts. Just about everything you posts confirms this.You're an idiot of epic proportions. This thread is written documentation of such.
Coming from the liar I'm not surprised you have nothing of substance to refute the assertion.You're an idiot of epic proportions. This thread is written documentation of such.

Guess I get tired of the right wing tripe which is their explanation of the following...No, of course it doesn't "make up for it." Nothing makes up for the Holocaust, the slaughtering of native Americans, slavery, or internment of the Japanese either. Like I said, it's an imperfect but workable solution to a problem which is difficult to solve.
Not to be glib about it, but this is pretty much the history of the whole human race. There has always been an 'other' that has been oppressed by the 'we'.Here we have a classic case of stolen wealth and status which would have been passed down a few generations and the answer they get "Too bad, I guess it sucks to be you"
Shhhhh let him keep thinking everything is black and white in life. Let him live blissfully retarded thinking "racism" is simply a matter of black slavery.Not to be glib about it, but this is pretty much the history of the whole human race. There has always been an 'other' that has been oppressed by the 'we'.

We can plainly see what people think about the plight of the survivors and their families.

Both those statements are about the Tulsa massacre. I NEVER mad a claim about a broader question.Can you make up your mind, whether this is about the singular "incident"?
Or do you intend to relate it to the greater racial divide?
Making the survivors millionaires seems fitting. That is more than almost anyone's family has in "accumulated wealth".
Reparations don't have to be cash.I could see the State paying the survivors. But all the families involved and relatives...
Why do you keep spouting your crapola? There are quite a few people that would contribute their tax dollars! Perhaps your just a racist and don`t give a damn about black people!lol if every country paid for their mistakes from the last 200+ years from individuals, they would all be broke.
You're just tribalistic and cogntiively bias to wanting to pay black people because you're simply self-indulgent. Ultimately, it really just boils down to you being a tribal racist.
Gotta love the poll too - every single person who voted yes is doing so from the kindness of their virtue signaling heart. Not a single person that voted yes would line up to contribute the tax dollars for it. You're the queens of the Yaaas generation lol.
wht would you know about liberal logic...you have trouble with your own convoluted logicBy liberals logic with BLM protests burning down people's business' and homes you simply just write it off to an insurance claim. No harm done!
That's how it works ... Right?
