Oil-wealthy
Tulsans refuse
Dr.
Kerr's
request
to
compensate
Greenwood
and
join
the
Ku
Klux
Klan
by
the
thousands
to
justify
their
terrible crimes
in
Greenwood
by
the
Klan's
racialist
doctrines:
Having no honour in the
armigerious sense and valuing every consideration of life only in terms of money, the nouveau riche Tulsa civic leadership
adamantly refused to pay the full compensation demanded by Dr.
Kerr for the
wrongful deaths of the Greenwood Blacks and property damage
inflicted by the City of Tulsa upon the Greenwood Black
Community as city policy.
The only interest of Tulsa's civic leadership was to
convert Greenwood into a rail,
industrial, and
warehouse district for their own profit.
'T-Towne'
Tulsan hunting
Blacks:
Gun
control is
desperately needed
to protect
Blac
ks from
poor whites
Not
a one of these prominent Tulsa oil barons,
bankers, community
leaders and 'T-Towne' boosters
ever repented
of their terrible
racial crimes.
They were concerned only with 'bad publicity' which might hurt Tulsa's economic growth. First
things first…..
The
enormous economic power and political leverage of Tulsa's oil
establishment has always managed to suppress much public
knowledge of the 1921 Tulsa Race War …
or the complete Ku Klux Klan political takeover of
Oklahoma after the November 1923 impeachment of Oklahoma's
courageous anti-Klan Governor Jack Walton orchestrated by
Richard Lloyd Jones. Sanitised
Oklahoma public school State 'histories' conveniently 'forget' these facts:
Some eighty-four years later, block, after block of
Tulsa's Greenwood Black district
are still filled with
empty lots, 'ghost' driveways and sidewalks leading to the
rubble of weed-incrusted foundations ... where middle-class
Black homes once stood
Now that Dr. Kerr is dead
… does anybody in Tulsa even
care ?
Tulsa
'social page' society women join Klan to social climb:
Tulsa may no longer be 'Oil Capitol'
but it clearly is
'The
Social Climbing
Capitol of
the World'
Oil-rich Tulsa is one of the wealthiest communities in
America in terms of number of multimillionaires per capita.
Tulsa counts numerous billionaires amongst its
citizens….
Tulsa
is an American 'Tale of
Two Cities': Newly
wealthy oil millionaires tearing down middle-class housing in
white south Tulsa to build huge 'gold coast' vanity faux
'French provincial' mansions (i.e., ‘mansionising’) for
their 1.67 child families
... whilst
areas of Tulsa's Greenwood Black district in north Tulsa are so
impoverished and so
neglected that, even, today large areas of Greenwood and
Black north Tulsa still
lack the basic necessities of running water and city sewage
service:
The Parable of Dives
and Lazarus come to life in
Oklahoma….
Wearing
Dallas-styled 'big
hair' fashions (the
better to hid jug ears),
plastered with make-up
and designer jewellery (the 'real thing' not paste),
dressed in furs in tropical sultry Tulsa
and designer outfits more appropriate
for women one-third
of their age;
Tulsa's social-page 'GREEN COUNTRY'
'society women' love play-acting
at being an elite 'high society':
Living extravagant lives of conspicuous consumption,
Tulsa's common nouveau riche
'social leaders' play Lady
Bountiful at
their elite 'league' charities
… enjoying
making lesser
folks come
hat-in-hand to
receive crumbs of
patronisingly dispensed
'charity'.
Tulsa's arriviste 'high society' even throws ostentatious 'opera
debutante balls' … shamelessly modelled after Charleston,
South Carolina's St. Cecilia Society, the Philadelphia Assembly,
or the Baltimore Cotillion … for their 'GREEN COUNTRY'
Klan-descended daughters.
Tulsa's 'oil elite' even has an affectedly supercilious
'fox hunt' … in the middle of Oklahoma cowboy country:
The
oil-rich descendants
of Tulsa's night riders chasing
after foxes on blood horses having pedigrees better than
their own….
Ku Klux Klan take-over
of Oklahoma: A yokel version
of the Third
Reich:
After
Richard Lloyd
Jones orchestrated
the November
1923 impeachment
of Oklahoma's
courageous anti-Klan
Governor Jack
Walton, the
Klan seized
complete political
power in
Oklahoma
¿ 'GREEN
COUNTRY' at
prayer ?
After the 1921 Race War, Tulsa's 'elite' 'GREEN COUNTRY' socialites even joined the Women's Klan
to social climb:
Tulsa
is the only place on earth
where Klan membership
confers 'social prestige'….
Despite
their pretensions to 'social eliteness',
Tulsa oil nouveaux riches are primarily disinherited
Southern poor whites who came to Oklahoma during the
1890's land grabs of 'free' Indian Land sponsored by the
American Federal Government.
After oil was discovered, Tulsa oilmen frequently
swindled Oklahoma's naive Indians out of their allotted lands,
minerals, oil and gas rights ... often with a drink of whiskey.
This is
not honest wealth honourably
obtained….
During
that very summer of 1921, over
six thousand leading citizens of Tulsa joined the new Ku
Klux Klan to justify to their own consciences the
terrible racial
crimes which they
had committed in Greenwood by the Klan's doctrines of racial
hatred: As
hooded Klansmen Tulsa's oil magnates,
business, civic
leaders and all the builders, boosters, and back-slappers
of 'T-Towne' nightly
burned Jesus' Cross in renewed racial
hatred of the friendly
Greenwood Black people
on the hills
surrounding Tulsa….
Rubble
of Greenwood:
Tulsans refuse compensation
and don't care about the Greenwood Blacks
¿ But do
you ?
