White Supremacist Massacres
Too often I hear “I never learned this” or “I never learned that in a history class.” First, people in general don’t want to hear the tales of Kings, Conquerors, Psychopaths from their own history. They prefer a “cleaned up” version. In the case of the United States, most prefer the Whitewashed version. Unfortunately, that version leaves out the role White Supremacy played in American History.
Recently, the HBO series The Watchmen brought to America’s attention the 1921 Tulsa Massacre. Sadly, there were many more White Supremacists Massacres. Here are a few.
Great Hanging at Gainesville 1862
Springfield (IL) Massacre 1908
Update
BET provided a few more that I had not found: Not Just Tulsa: Five Other Race Massacres That Devastated Black America
Wilmington, North Carolina, Massacre (1898)
