[QUOTE="bobfuente, post: 3586425, member: 46240"] So he didn't try to incite any animus then? Good. I figured he chose Tulsa based on the 100th aniversary of the Tulsa Race Riots, which I looked up on Wikipedia yesterday and read about for the first time. There was a lot more to that than what I've seen alluded to. Seems that both sides were armed up pretty good and that things spiraled out of control when ten whites were killed. But there's more to that - the blacks were assisting undermanned law enforcement who were protecting an accused black man of from being lynched. There were two factions of blacks; young WWI veterans who were armed up and ready to fight, and black business owners who knew they stood to lose everything, and urged moderation. I figured Biden would race bait it. I'm glad he didn't. [/QUOTE]
