An Oklahoma judge has dismissed the reparations lawsuit filed by the last three known survivors of the Tulsa race massacre on Friday, court records show.
The three had sued the City of Tulsa, other groups, and officials over the opportunities taken from them when the city’s Greenwood neighborhood was burned to the ground in 1921.
Lessie Benningfield Randle, 108, Viola Fletcher, 109, and her brother, Hughes Van Ellis, 102, were among the plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs maintaned that the damage inflicted during the massacre was a “public nuisance” from the start and were seeking relief from that nuisance as well as to “recover for unjust enrichment” others have gained from the “exploitation of the massacre.
The family attorneys are expected to address the possibility of an appeal.

For those who are confused, women have long since been defined by roles like motherhood, being wives, and how they can serve everyone else. There are people so hellbent on oppressing transgender people that they see anything as an opportunity to “inform” everyone.
Some people are looking for a fight so hard that they read into stuff just to see something that isn’t even there, so they can come in swinging.
Pat Robinson was a horrible homophobic person. So he did the Lgbtq community a favor by dying during pride month! Thank you for your contribution Pat
Happy June to all of you…you know. 🌈

I would like to thank the Atheist for keeping some of these cherry pickers in line!
“Who taught you to hate the color of your skin? Who taught you to hate the texture of your hair? Who taught you to hate the shape of your nose and the shape of your lips? Who taught you to hate yourself from the top of your head to the soles of your feet? Who taught you to hate your own kind? Who taught you to hate the race that you belong to so much so that you don’t want to be around each other?”
- Malcolm X, 1962

i’m speechless
This is how the system of white supremacy operates. The media is used 2 create stereotypes like blk on blk crime.They need black men to fill jail cells for the Prison Indstrial complex
You know what? I’m tired of this. I do not know what exactly they are waiting for. I mean our government comes up with “reasons” to invade other countries, such as Syria, like their government is allegedly violating human rights or something like that. but… I mean for other countries, they do not even have to go deep to bomb the fuck out of this place, they can just look at our media. And this has been happening to people of color since the media has existed.
I’ll never forget this 👇🏾

Did a research project on this in undergrad and the results are extremely alarming because it’s not just in imagery, it’s in language used even in the law making process and within our own communities in a completely different way than expected.

Yuuuup talk about this in our media culture and society class where the exact same Katrina sample was used. White supremacy runs far too wide and too deep to be denied that it exists
OP was deleted for being “a Russian plant” for posting stuff like this. Know your history.
A lot of black bloggers talking about white supremacy got sniped. Mostly ones that white people reported for “misinformation” right after the election when there was a big panic about it.
Tumblr moderation has never been that good and has always fallen hard - and unjustly - on marginalized people.
