Besides Tulsa, what are some other examples of black people experiencing state sponsored terrorism?

[Joe Budden]

I know about the Philadelphia bombing. I plan on reading about that later on today.

More book recommendations would be welcome.

The white supremacists attacks on Wilmington, NC in 1898.

Maybe not exactly State sponsored but the state did not protect the Black residents.

Elaine, Arkansas. White mobs attacked Black residents after sharecroppers organized and demanded better pay and treatment.

On September 14, 1874, 1,500 members of the White League—a militia of Confederate veterans opposed to the civil rights goals of Reconstruction—attacked New Orleans and overthrew the Louisiana government. Two years before, a pro-Reconstruction politician named William Pitt Kellogg was elected governor of Louisiana, largely on the strength of his support among African American voters. That same year, Caesar Carpenter Antoine, an African American man, was elected lieutenant governor.

...wasn't the central park area originally a black settlement before it was taken and turned into a park?

Yes. It was Seneca Village before it became Central Park.

...i live not too far from a popular receding lake that is uncovering a lost town under it. i wouldn't be surprised if that town was black and flooded on purpose.

The notion that god is all powerful and can do all things suggest he can reverse time. That being the case, I’d love to visit the past and personally deal with these “slave masters” using the armory of the present time. You wanna rape black girls? How bout I release the goons on your mother and every female member of your family. You wanna hang folks? How about I hang your son in front of you?

But it’s all good. Vengeance is coming.

This one always gets me.
