I don't even get how you can be a racist in that kind of weather - wayyy too much energy for that

Tragic. I actually never heard of that story before because they hide our history like that.

And I honestly believe police are designed to this sort of stuff in a systematic way and spread out over a long period of time nowadays.

Wait. The picture is working for others?

Edit: nvm. I had to open it in another window.

Yeah, unfortunately this shit still happens on smaller scales all the time. Which is why Karens needed to be targeted.

This exact thing has happened multiple times all over the US. Another place was in Tulsa, OK. Very similar there. A black guy tripped as he was entering a elevator.

Back then they had people physically controlling elevators. In this situation it was a white operator. He stumbled inside and bumped into the woman. She freaked out and people saw a black man running out of the elevator

Rumors spread and people whipped up a mob to attack the black side of town. They started killing every black person they saw

Just a few years after the Ocoee massacre. Florida has a long history of being a racist shithole.

I figured it wasn't gonna work for anyone. After I seen it, I realized just how poor taste my first post was. Extremely worse time for that than I originally thought.

I knew about Rosewood because of the movie. No matter how prosperous they were the existence of black townships and neighborhoods during that time hung on the whim of white supremacists who would burn them down and massacre the people (virtually always started on a rumor or a lie). The insurrection of Wilmington was particularly crazy, that town has never recovered to the level of prosperity it had prior to the coup. The Elaine, Arkansas massacre is another big one that doesn't get attention.



These are just some of the bigger ones, notice that a lot of these occurred during Reconstruction Era or after WW1, when black folks gained rights and after black soldiers returned home from war expecting better treatment. There's always that backlash.
