Rate This City: Day 125 - Oklahoma City

[KodeBlue]

What are the expectations of the black population of people who do not live there. I notice some people saying they noticed a lot of black people but the black population is only 15% and it’s a decrease from the last decade.

Well maybe that’s high for me too cause when I hear OkC I think of nothing but white people.

I wonder if there are any remnants of black Wall Street in OKC. I know it was Tulsa, but still.

Irredeemable City

Trash City, in a super trash State

I went to OU, and was in Norman for 4 years. The state took something from me, and I haven't been the same since. I wish I never would have set foot in the godforsaken place

Didn’t know okc was that big holy shyt

One of my coworkers stayed there for a few years

he said it’s boring compared to chi obviously but he was able to live like a king cuz everything dirt cheap in OKC.

also said the PAWGs were of grade A quality if that’s your thing

It took happiness away from me. I haven't been the same since. Though the things you learn when in this mental state are very valuable. But, I'm not sure it's worth the cost

I made a thread about this a long time ago on here but someone did the research and the only black owned thing left from Tulsa was............a church.

There’s plenty of black people in OKC. It isn’t like what you’re thinking.

It’s the cities surrounding it that are white, but OKC itself? Plenty of black people.

Was it racist, or just lifeless?

Very large city geographically. I was surprised when I was there last week.
