People died, yes. But there was no white supremacism. There was no Wall Street. It was just like any high street. It was triggered by an attempted rape. | ||

> there was no white supremacism People were murdered and homes and businesses destroyed by a white mob because they were black. How is that anything but white supremacy? > There was no Wall Street. It was just like any high street. It was one of the wealthiest black communities in america at a time. “Black wall street” was a nickname, not a literal description of a stock exchange. > It was triggered by an attempted rape. No, it was triggered by an attempted lynching of a black man. Or if you want to be more specific, because the community there stood up to protect the arrested man. It was triggered by a black community stopping a lynching. Your assertions are an ahistorical revisionist fantasy. | ||
