Tulsa Oklahoma The Site Again Of White Racial Attacks on Black Victims As In May 1921 Race Riots on Black Community and Black Wall Street Of Tulsa Oklahoma

On The 91st Year Anniversary (May, 1921) Of The Tulsa Oklahoma Race Riots, Tulsa Oklahoma At Center Of Current Racial Attacks On Black Community By Whites

The unfortunate killings and shootings of the specifically targeted group of Blacks by Whites in Tulsa Oklahoma is the Tulsa Oklahoma, same site of the May, 1921 Race Riots when Whites shot and burned down the original Black community and Black Wall Street 91 Years ago next month!! While the Tulsa Police are to be commended in their swift action in their arrests, its still hard not to ignore the racial overtones when the national media are the ones who exposed one of the perpetrators public Facebook Page where he openly expressed his racist comments and using the "N" word ! It was White racial targeting of innocent Black victims in 1921 and 91 years later it was indeed negative racial sentiments expressed by Whites with Blacks again as innocent victims with lives lost.

Local and national leaders of National Black Wall Street USA express our sympathies to the families of the victims of this current tragedy in Tulsa Oklahoma and offer our prayers for the entire Tulsa community in that the Black and White community can show that 91 years later both groups can live with mutual respect and not return or feed into a new generation of racial intolerance exhibited in this current tragedy.
