“The African American community

is very near and dear

to his heart,”

said White House press secretary

Kayleigh McEnany,

this day …

June 11th 2020.

Tulsa!

He’ll rally in Tulsa …

all maga-hats, flags & adoration,

strong man flexing,

ciphered-throwaways

& vicious cheering

small man denigration …

Tulsa!

For the man who made his mark

with the Central Park Five,

& the unforgivable

political cynicism

of that pure, pure

racist evil,

Birtherism,

& heck …

that’s giving him

benefit

of the doubt …

For the man who championed

day after day,

announcement

after announcement,

the sheer damn impossibility

of a black man …

heck …

a black man! …

validly,

justifiably,

in all just plain respectfully,

it all being just fine with the world

that a black man

could occupy

the White House,

be the actual …

President of the United States.

This man!

Tulsa Oklahoma.

The Tulsa race massacre (also called the Tulsa race riot, the Greenwood Massacre, or the Black Wall Street Massacre) of 1921 took place on May 31 and June 1, 1921, when mobs of white residents attacked black residents and businesses of the Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

35 square blocks destroyed, up to 300 dead, 800 admitted to hospital … 10,000 left homeless.
