Legal: Judge dismisses Tulsa Race Massacre (Black Wall Street) lawsuit
- Thread starter playahaitian
- Start date
Not that it matters but what was the reason given for the dismissal?
Attorneys for the city of Tulsa had argued that the case should be dismissed because the lawsuit didn’t lay out how Judge Wall should remedy the harm. Meanwhile, attorneys for Justice for Greenwood argued that state law doesn’t require them to provide those answers before a trial has even begun.

She went on to say she finds any further amendment of the lawsuit futile.
This is what it feels like for me being up in their court system or dealing with one of their administrative processes. I feel like a foreigner rather than an American.
It’s only the American way.
Then they'd have to reperate the whole country too. 
Keep voting then bitch nigg
But, they will convict Cosby just on a woman’s word…..

I get what you're saying though I fear that many haven't.
I believe judge is an elected position also in many places. I can't say all for sure.

An Oklahoma judge has thrown out a lawsuit seeking reparations for the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, dashing an effort to obtain some measure of legal justice by survivors of the deadly racist rampage.
Judge Caroline Wall on Friday dismissed with prejudice the lawsuit trying to force the city and others to make recompense for the destruction of the once-thriving Black district known as Greenwood.
The order comes in a case by three survivors of the attack, who are all now over 100 years old and sued in 2020 with the hope of seeing what their attorney called "justice in their lifetime."

A Century After The Race Massacre, Tulsa Confronts Its Bloody Past
Spokespersons for the city of Tulsa and a lawyer for the survivors — Lessie Benningfield Randle, Viola Fletcher and Hughes Van Ellis — did not immediately respond to requests for comment Sunday.Wall, a Tulsa County District Court, wrote in a brief order that she was tossing the case based on arguments from the city, regional chamber of commerce and other state and local government agencies. She'd ruled against the defendants' motions to dismiss and allowed the case to proceed last year.

Local judicial elections in Oklahoma are technically nonpartisan, but Wall has described herself as a "Constitutional Conservative" in past campaign questionnaires.

The lawsuit was brought under Oklahoma's public nuisance law, saying the actions of the white mob that killed hundreds of Black residents and destroyed what had been the nation's most prosperous Black business district continue to affect the city today.It contended that Tulsa's long history of racial division and tension stemmed from the massacre, during which an angry white mob descended on a 35-block area, looting, killing and burning it to the ground. Beyond those killed, thousands more were left homeless and living in a hastily constructed internment camp.
The city and insurance companies never compensated victims for their losses, and the massacre ultimately resulted in racial and economic disparities that still exist today, the lawsuit argued. It sought a detailed accounting of the property and wealth lost or stolen in the massacre, the construction of a hospital in north Tulsa and the creation of a victims compensation fund, among other things.

Survivors Of 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Share Eyewitness Accounts
A Chamber of Commerce attorney previously said that the massacre was horrible, but the nuisance it caused was not ongoing.Fletcher, who is 109 and the oldest living survivor, is set to release a memoir next month about the life she lived in the shadow of the massacre.
In 2019, Oklahoma's attorney general used the public nuisance law to force opioid drug maker Johnson & Johnson to pay the state $465 million in damages. The Oklahoma Supreme Court overturned that decision two years later.
Crushing blow.. But we cant expect to be made whole by the same people who tore us apart in the first place.
Why is it always the tiny little ones that talk the loudest?
Quiet faggot. No one here has any respect for you when you on hear sounding like a republican white boy.
Whether it's general election or appointment, judgeships usually require some sort of vote count.
Are you still so desperate for attention that you keep trying to troll people on a message board?
Nigga get a life.
That happens sometimes. I'm sure other times she had opponents.
For the don't vote crew, if someone runs against her using this case as a platform, do y'all still stay home or do you do what you can to help get her out of there?
The only thing I like about this ruling is that this shows the hold your vote crew the realities of reparations if you are only playing the short game with politics.
Reparations is going to require a stacked deck in regards to Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Unfortunately, the ship has sailed in regards to Judicial for the long foreseeable future.
She did run against someone in 2018. Turnout was probably under 50%

When you voteps holler about the "don't vote group",
does someone who says that a politician has to earn your vote= the same as a "don't voter"?
I'm trying to figure something out here...
I apologize. I will admit I have a bad habit of lumping the two groups together.
Although some of the language between the two sounds similar sometimes.
Thank you.
I just wanted to make sure that you recognized that there is a difference.
Although I personally hold no ill will towards people who have given up in the political system.
