Woman, 105, leads lawsuit seeking reparations for 1921 Tulsa massacre

[zod16]

A group of Oklahomans, led by 105-year-old woman, filed a lawsuit on Tuesday demanding reparations for the 1921 Tulsa race massacre which saw white mobs burn down a thriving black neighborhood and kill hundreds of people.

The lawsuit alleges that the massacre, one of the worst acts of racial violence in US history, still overshadows the neighborhood of Greenwood, and that racial inequality in Tulsa today can be traced back to the events of almost 100 years ago.
An estimated 300 black people were killed on 31 May and 1 June 1921, after a white mob, backed by local authorities and police, destroyed 35 city blocks and displaced thousands of African Americans.

The massacre was brought into focus earlier this year when Donald Trump scheduled a campaign rally in Tulsa on Juneteenth, the commemoration of the ending of slavery in the US. After widespread condemnation, Trump moved the rally to the next day.

The lead plaintiff in the lawsuit is Lessie Benningfield Randle, 105, one of two known survivors of the massacre still alive.

Randle still experiences flashbacks of bodies stacked up on the street as the neighborhood burned, her attorneys said.

I did compliance audits for a hospital once and one of the physicians killed this womans husband and the attorney representing the hospital said well the woman has no relatives and we can just delay until she dies. I look for Oklahoma to do the same thing.

Just so you know. Those are Trump appointed judges who dismissed her lawsuit. Then rejected a request to have that dismissal overturned. Just like the white devil judge who says it was Breona Taylor boyfriend fault police murdered her in her apartment. Is a Reagan appointed judge.

This isn’t Mexico — the judges are not elected here. Judges are appointed. The people you vote for appoint those judges. That is why you vote. So if you want “justice” for 110 year old ladies, you have to vote and vote for the right candidate. We see who appointed those judges. So if you don’t want bad judges you vote for the judges on the Democratic shill plantation. You know if you you care about 110 year old black ladies trying to see justice.

 

[xfactor]

The reason for it is because the government was involved in the bombings that occurred in Tulsa back then.

These Neanderthals are going extinct right before our eyes all due to being victims of their own actions. So many of our people lack spirituality now, trying to join together with them, that they don’t see a falling empire in real time.

So-called white man can’t keep ruling for too long because of their DNA structure. Barely lasted 2 centuries in power before collapsing

Their DNA structure???

 

[xfactor]

Their DNA structure???

Neanderthal aka wild man genetic origins. They are created, sub-human hybrids not really built to last.

If they didn’t implement the color code, caste system of race, they’d be back on the bottom where they belong. Just look into the serfs and kholops and Slavs for a more modern historical perspective of the origins of the caucasian.

As a race of people, we should be all over this. We too busy with who shannon fucking and who performing in the super bowl. We done.
