IN the NEWS - Blinded Eyes at Tulsa March

But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, 
and walketh in darkness, 
and knoweth not whither he goeth, 
because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. 1 John 2:11

"Hundreds of people-  heavily armed, marched through Tulsa

chanting, “black power”, “black lives matter” and “who’s streets, our streets” as they made their way to the Greenwood section of Tulsa, the predominantly black neighborhood known as “Black Wall Street” in 1921.

The struggle for Reparations must be escalated,” a news release from the event organizers read....We will kill everything White in sight.
 
The “Tulsa Race Massacre” started May 31, 1921 when a black man, 19-year-old Dick Rowland, was arrested on suspicion of raping a white elevator operator, Sarah Page, 17. A white mob showed up at the courthouse and demanded Rowland be turned over to the crowd and lynched. Black supporters showed up to defend Rowland. Both mobs had guns and a riot broke out when a black man shot a white man. The next day roughly 1,500 white people burned 35 square blocks of the predominantly black neighborhood known as “Greenwood.”

Though some people believe as many as 300 black people were killed, a 2001 study stated 36 were killed, 26 of whom were black and 10 of whom were white. Rowland was released and not charged. He left Tulsa and never returned." PJMedia
