In 1921, Tulsa, Oklahoma’s Greenwood District, known as Black Wall Street, was one of the most prosperous African-American communities in the United States. But on May 31 of that year, the Tulsa Tribune reported that a black man, Dick Rowland, attempted to rape a white woman, Sarah Page. Whites in the area refused to wait for the investigative process to play out, sparking two days of unprecedented racial violence. Thirty-five city blocks went up in flames, 300 people died, and 800 were injured.

"Floyd is still dead four days after allegedly attempting to use a $20 bill at a convenience store that an employee identified as counterfeit."

Yeah, there do seem to be counterfeit bills floating around. I bought something at a convenience store and the clerk told me my $1 bill was counterfeit. I thought it was probably just old, because who would bother making fake $1 bills? I paid with another one and told the clerk to keep the one he claimed was fake. My guess is he just pocketed it and passed it off somewhere else.

Eh? Why do you think this?

She's been commenting her for a while. She can be abrasive at times, but I don't see that here. And her politics seem right.

She called me a misogynist piece of shit earlier on this thread for bringing up Klobuchar's dismal record of prosecuting police brutality. Her replies are designed to incite like bots are so prone to do

Speaking of the ‘f’-bomb, did you hear what Mayor Lightfoot said yesterday? Here’s a direct quote: “I will encode what I really want to say to Donald Trump. It’s two words: the first begins with ‘f’ and ends with you.” I don’t startle easily, but that got my attention.

I don’t think a magic decoder ring is necessary....
