Another Republican says racism didn't cause Tulsa Race Massacre- Oklahoma

Source-https://theblackwallsttimes.com/2023/08/03/another-republican-says-racism-didnt-cause-tulsa-race-massacre/



snip--"For the second time in a month, a prominent Oklahoma Republican is claiming racism may not be the root cause of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.

In a groundbreaking reporting from The Frontier, state representative Sherrie Conley is quoted as saying she is ‘unsure’ whether those who carried out the massacre were racists."


snip--"We can try to speculate,” Conley said, “but to know for sure, I don’t think that we can.”


snip--"The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre occurred when White Klan members and vigilantes stormed the Black community of Greenwood. Over the course of two days, the city-sanctioned mob shot, looted and burned nearly 40 blocks of homes and businesses. In all, more than 300 were killed, 10,000 were left without shelter and millions of dollars in generational wealth was destroyed, according to the Tulsa Historical Society."


more there.

I'll cross post to GD as well
