this is horseshit this happened before 90 % of people in tulsa were alive.
Dose he know segregation was ended. He can go to the same hospital as everyone else.
Pay in Confederate money... or take it from the democrat coffers...I mean , they are the guilty party....
Why do oppressed Americans stay in the USA? Please answer.
@Ridiculously Ro Jackson
Our ancestors came from all around the globe, all ethnicities, and they all had a hand in building this nation.
That hardly answers the question why one would choose to stay, in this highly mobile era, where one feels hopelessly oppressed.
It is, after all, one's own choice.
People, rich and poor, migrate daily.
The question remains.
@@sv3931 I wish you were my English teacher 👍.❤️
Its really sad over here in this little world you created. Should be named Forbes breaking wind.
Honestly, I can't believe this man is a fucking lawyer.
People just need to stir the race kettle. Sorry to hear about the past, it's just that the past. Black people are treated the same as white,brown,yellow, and pastel purple. It's time to go to 2021.
Because of their culture not America. Grow up and raise your kids properly!
@Ridiculously Ro Jackson
Start what?
While slavery has been practiced on every continent, by most ethnicities, including Africans, I think we all agree that it was an affront to humanity. (Well, except for Muslims who deem it a religious privilege)
I think, at some point, we simply have to put it away as a distasteful relic of the past. (Well, except in India where there are 14M slaves today. No one ever talks of them, save the World Slavery org.)
I'm still shocked that the man who wrote that crime bill, which wreaked hell on black men for 20+ yrs, and who fought tooth & nail to stop integration, now sits in the Oval Office!
🙄 How the hell did _that_ happen?!
edit:
Say, do you know why this is being heard at the federal level?
What has it to do with the other 49 states? Alaska and Hawaii were not even States in 1921.
Shouldn't this case be heard in the state congress?
I thought the point of BLM was to improve things. So far, what have they done for you lately? I believe every black life matters. I believe every first people's life matters. But there is no percentage in living in the past. I help where I can and I treat everyone the same. But if your character stinks, we have a problem.
BLM has done nothing for black people, and black people do nothing for themselves.

You should visit Susan Woods NonProfit channel.
She's been investigating this case doggedly
LIES ABOUT POLICE
Actually did happen read your history not the books in school
This deff isn't an AOC speech it sounded grounded and I believe the evidence should be provided and should be investigated.
Well democrat pay up it is your fault
It does seem as if this should be a state matter.
What has it to do with the other 49 states? Hawaii was not even a state in 1921.
Emmy worthy?
Fr tho, these people never get tired of fucking complaining.
They should have their day in court and insurance should hear them out if evidence shows they were correct claims the owners of the business's that made claims should be compensated.
But why is this being heard at the Federal level?
What has it to do with the other 49 states? Alaska and Hawaii were not even States in 1921.
@@sv3931 is that federal?
Why is this not on mainstream they are covering this up and really bad with it people are still alive when it did happen it's funny they tried to brush it under the rug.
Because Democrat were responsible for what happened in Oklahoma in 1920 Democratic governor Democratic senators and Democratic House Representatives in Oklahoma during that year oh and don't forget Democratic president
@@thomashutchinson284 yeah but people died and where killed period and land and riches where taken so at least replace it democrats or w.e
@@travisnoface1300 hasn't land and riches been stolen from all races throughout history? People killed in mass numbers of all races at some point?
@@graceporter9853 yea true miss grace but.. we talking United States .... And yeah it has
Grips my heart to hear the anguish in this brothas voice trying to plead to a people that does not give a damn.
The Jewish situation comes to mind when listening to this, because the US made whole a group of Caucasians that were treated bad by another group of Caucasians. Had nothing to do with the US but when it comes to black people who bleed and died to make the US the wealthiest country on the planet get bombed by its on state and local government and get zero help.
Every race went through hard times throughout history, no one is entitled to free money for situations you didn't even have to go through.
I'm curious, Darnell, why is this being heard at the federal level?
Why is it not before the state congress?
What has it to do with the other 49 states? Hawaii was not even a state in 1921.
Literally a century ago. How far back in time are we at the national level supposed to go to somehow right the wrongs of the countless races, religions, and other groups of people victmized in the past? Certainly no one particular group can claim their suffering is anymore significant than any other right?
Unless you want to talk percentages maybe.... 80% of Branch Dividians dead with most of the few survivors locked up for 20 years.
But even that is not considered in need of repair all these years later and probably never was.
The past effect the blacks as a whole .
@@travisnoface1300
The past doesn't affect the
Chinese Americans?
Native Americans?
Mexican Americans?
Cuba Americans?
Irish Americans?
Jewish Americans?
Japanese Americans?
Armenian Americans?
