1ºYou learn about Tulsa in high school. If you go to college you learn in-depth about the Tulsa Massacre and the dynamics behind it. Good to refresh the information and get to the population that does not go to college to hear it. There is nothing pleasant about college level history. You get educated fully at the level of nastiness from all groups so that when you go out into the world and make your mark or business you create something better than that which was done. At the same time that is past and not fully today. The prejudice is much more sophisticated and targeted. Who survived the pandemic in African American groups is crucial to moving forward. Until a group gets a sustainable financial backing without having to jump through unreasonable hoops their progress is often taken or made harder. Minority Report from University of Georgia shows an incredible group of African Americans who made business in unexpected places and flourishing. Be glad when we are too the point that they can share that. Just as equally plenty of Latinos had their haciendas taken and that is a personal family story where their will never be restitution for because not slaves. Minority businesses were fueling the American economy in many regions.
2ºThanks to CNN for bringing this feature to prime. All our kids asked, "so how come they don't teach this in school?" That is the surprise they had when they saw the commercial on CNN about Dreamland. Being a minority owned business has actually exposed us to several issues in our society about minority owned small businesses. It can be a struggle and sometimes we feel as if the system is set up for failure. We provide several services and products as an independent pharmacy that is very unique to our business yet, we struggle to thrive because of the system. Must watch tonight for all our kids. Kudos Labron, Maverick, and CNN.
3ºHey CNN! You claim you're "Facts First." Then, you should present the facts accurately. Yes, a mob of white people attacked a black community in 1921. However, if FACTS are FIRST then, you should report that a mob of white DEMOCRATS burned down buildings/homes, attacked & murdered black CONSERVATIVES, in order to prevent black people from bettering themselves and their families.
...So, after 100 years (since 1921) you STILL haven't figured out the problem? Maybe if you STOP voting for #Democrats things will finally start improving. In 1964, Lydon B. Johnson said he'd have black people [oppressed, duped, and] voting for Democrats for the next 200 years. As of this year, that means 57 years down, and 143 years to go...unless of course people #WalkAway from the Democratic party once and for all.
Democrats = Home of the KKK
4ºAmerica will always be a racist country because they kept burning the emotion and kept pushing for wars amongst themself. You guys should just live together regardless what kind of races. Stop provoking each other by not making any movies or documentary rhat can raise tension. Give awareness of loving each other. Respect the differences. It is so sad how you guys living like that. And these ppl.made money by provoking the public. Every lives matter regardless what colors. Look for the future not looking behind. Look at other countries, every countries have different races and religions but we can live happily together.
5ºIf we cant feel comfortable talking about it now 100 years later then we haven't healed as a country. There are two women in the documentary and a man who survived. Their names are Viola Fletcher who is 107 years old and Mrs. Randle who is 106 years old and a Man by the name of Mr. Van Ellis who is over 100 years old. They survived this menacing scar of racial insensitivity over 100 years ago and are still talking about it today. People in their 100s should be able to just have a laid back life of fortitude but these true SURVIVORS have to relive this horror everyday but they have been given the strength through their Heavenly Father God to travail through this unspeakable time and live their lives. They even received $100,000 ( a thousand dollars for each year they had to live out this hate crime) over the weekend but it still doesn't replace what was lost. It was the thought that counts. Racial violence affects families and changes lives.
6ºAs many white people should tune in as black. Learn about the truths of your country if you are really "patriotic" As black people we have been forced to hear and see stories about people who don't look like us since the beginning of time. It doesn't cast any kind of blame on you. The same way as a shooting in Chicago has nothing to do with ME. Stop passing these fairytale lies or half truths to your children, give them a fighting chance to know what this country is so they don't go around feeling superior or privileged by the fairy tales. , let them see and learn the ugly truth. So they can judge people and this world accordingly
7ºHey Democrat Voters = SE what your vote get’s America! Riots/Black Lives Matter:It is clear from its own website and both verbal and written statements of BLM leadership (and its Mission Statement) that Black Lives Matter is a domestic terrorist organization that is joined to and participating in the riots in major Democrat-governed U.S. cities and towns- with looting, arson, and anarchy becoming the norm these past 4 months. Kamala Harris recently assured us it is justifiable and necessary, and to count on it continuing, no matter who wins the Presidential Election. They support anarchy. That means she and the Democratic Party support this lawlessness and societal disruption. This is the answer for their premise of “social injustice.” It is payback time with reverse social injustice, mainly against whites. But the riots have ruined many minority lives and neighborhoods. Their hate is boundless and only directed at creating fear and taking power. The “social injustice” and “systemic racism” themes are political theater. Lies to justify tearing down the social order and upending America. Recently, a BLM leader angrily proclaimed, “We’re not requesting, we’re taking.” Think about that the next time you’re seated at an outdoor café and these miscreants decide to intimidate you and your friends/loved ones. Who are you calling?
