Judge dismisses Tulsa Race Massacre Lawsuit

[THAT Gurl]

According to OSCN, the dismissal used the court's order from August, 2022, which is found here:

The PDF is attached to this post (I hope).

I didn't say that quite right. I kinda meant sitting at work killing time reading cases I was interested in instead of doing actual work. (I'm one of those folks who got all her work done in the morning and then spent the afternoon "studying". That's how I went from "receptionist" to "paralegal" pretty quickly.)

I tried taking the paralegal class at OU but working 2 jobs and taking care of 3 kids (plus a live-in boyfriend who didn't honor his commitment to watch the kids for me ONE day a week so I could go to class) didn't make it feasible for me to get my knowledge the traditional way. So ... I just watched, listened and READ everything I could get my hands on.

I guess the way I worded my post was kinda a misrepresentation ... Sorry! and thank you for going to the trouble. You guys are an alright bunch of fellas!

Sorry--I see what you meant on re-reading. Too bad I can't help you with the time part, but I can't even help myself on that count...

One complains and 200 people feed off of the complaint and it metastasizes into something unmanageable. I like it the way things used to be, everyone worked and helped one another and then came government aid...

Hooray for the judge's decision.
Mainly, reparations are nothing more than a political tool used to get votes, etc.

I grew up in Tulsa and it was always the "race riot". When did it become the "race massacre"? I have noticed that has been used the last few years and I am curious as to why the change.

Makes it sound more sinister, dastardly, and racial. It's to kick it up a notch and pile on more guilt so it won't fade. Gots-ta keep it goin' donchaknow. Yes, it's political.

My initial guess was the name changed to reflect that a bunch of people died, whereas "riot" would more convey the idea of throwing bricks through windows and maybe flipping cars.

There are a few links like this one Group renamed Tulsa Race Massacre Commission that say it was called a riot because that allowed insurance companies to turn down claims. I think even 100 years later most of us can relate to the concept of insurance companies doing everything they can to screw their customers.

Gosh, isn't that the truth. I can say that after seeing it working for one over 20 years.

I bet the surviving party that started it is relieved

They like to conveniently forget that there were also white victims of that event - killed by black assailants. But that doesn't promote white guilt and reparations. It was just those evil whites again, Burning, Looting, and Murdering.
