Remember Black Wall St is not just a record label owned by The Game…It was a place where 3k African Americans were killed

Abt 90 years ago in 1921, 3000 African Americans were killed in Tulsa, Oklahoma by an angry white mob jealous at their financial success.The place where these riots took place was known as Black Wall Street.. Sadly more people know Black Wall Street as a record label owned by Game who frequently finds himself at odds with other Black men vs a epic center for financial success that found itself at odds with a white power structure determined to pillage and eradicate Black success..

 The Tulsa Race riots is part of a sordid history that’s very rarely taught..The race riots in Tulsa were among a spawn of vicious attacks we saw occur from 1915 up tillearly 1920s where  white mobs would attack Black towns…  They took place in Atlanta, Rosewood, Cincinnati etc… Tulsa was probably the worse..Here’s an article we posted almost 20 years ago http://www.daveyd.com/blackwallpolitic.html. Here’s a new article that is in the NY Times today http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/20/us/20tulsa.html?_r=2&hp
