Why settle for the fake unjust murder of one unarmed Black male when instead you can put out there the story of an entire town being slain by evil Whites. That was based on the Tulsa massacre in Greenwood. It’s an interesting way to meld history and fiction. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An "interesting way to meld history and fiction" to increase racial tension, and whip racial tension up even more. How can racism ever fade away and die if there are constant, intentional efforts to make it a big deal? Tulsa almost 100 years ago. There's no one alive who even remembers it. It's akin to still being pissed at Germany for World War 1. Not WWII, but actually WW1. It's time to move on, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey man, that’s just Hollywood doing their part to continue the healing. I love when we make way past the breakwater at first light and head out, there's nothing better, the whole rest of the world just melts away for me.

The point was not to whip up racial tensions, but I think you know that. “Never forget” is a slogan that applies to more than the collective memories of People with your shared history. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord help us. Good grief I hope someone makes one about the young local scholar and church goer Michael Brown and call it ‘Hands up, don’t shoot’. Show someone how to catch striped bass and they'll be ready to fish anywhere. Show someone where to go striped bass fishing and you'll have a desperate report chaser with loose lips.
