  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Now look up the Tulsa Massacre

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 25 points 21 hours ago

Once i learned about what they did I can't forget it and will always bring up to people when relevant. Fucking insane what they burned it to the ground because they couldn't stand successful black people. And not one person ever faced justice for this.

I have family in Tulsa that had never heard of that until I brought it up when I learned about it a few years ago. Crazy shit man.

I didn't learn about the Tulsa Massacre until the first Trump term. I'm over 50 years old.

I watched the Watchmen TV series a couple years back (at age 40) and during the Tulsa massacre scene I was like "oh this takes place in an alternate history where the KKK won"

Then next year in college I took a course in American History... oof.

I'm not American, but I also learned about it watching the Watchmen series, then Wikipedia. Wasn't that surprised, though. The only time I went to the USA some kids throw a heavy rock through our camping tent window while we, Mexican kids, were away. It didn't strike me like some kids mischief even at that time.
