Segregation now, segregation forever!

Rowlands was arrested the following day, on May 31, 1921. Subsequent actions by white citizens in an apparent attempt to lynch him, and by black citizens to protect him, sparked a riot that lasted 16 hours and caused the destruction by fire of 35 city blocks and 1,256 residences in Tulsa's prosperous African-American neighborhood of Greenwood, and over 800 injuries and the deaths of at about 300 blacks and 13 whites.

WHAT? YOU MEAN THEY WERE DENYING HIM HIS CIVIL RIGHTS? NAWWW... WE HAD PASSED THE CRA OF 1875!
 
Ive stated over and over again, and you know it, the Desegration Act of 1875 was declared unconstitutional by the S.Ct.
 
On July 2, thousands of white spectators who saw the police's bloodstained automobile marched to the black section of town and started rioting. After cutting the hoses of the fire department, the rioters burned entire sections of the city and shot inhabitants as they escaped the flames.[5] Claiming that "Southern niggers deserve[d] a genuine lynching,"[8] they lynched several blacks. Guardsmen were called in, but several accounts reported that they joined in the rioting rather than stopping it.[9][10] Others joined in, including allegedly "ten or fifteen young girls about 18 years old, [who] chased a negro woman at the Relay Depot at about 5 o'clock. The girls were brandishing clubs and calling upon the men to kill the woman.

MY GOODNESS... EVEN THE WOMEN WERE INVOLVED! DID THEY NOT HEAR ABOUT THE CRA OF 1875????
 
Newspapers printed articles on the alleged rape, while rumors spread throughout the town that Tusken had died as a result of the assault. Through the course of the day, a mob estimated between 5,000 and 10,000 people[3] formed outside the Duluth city jail and broke into the jail to beat and hang the accused. The Duluth Police, ordered not to use their guns, offered little or no resistance to the mob. The mob seized Elias Clayton, Elmer Jackson, and Isaac McGhie and found them guilty of Tusken's rape in a sham trial. The three men were taken to 1st Street and 2nd Avenue East,[3] where they were lynched by the mob.

FOR HEAVENS SAKES... THEY WERE LYNCHED? HADN'T THIS MOB HEARD ABOUT THE COURAGEOUS AMERICANS WHO OUTLAWED SEGREGATION IN 1875???
 
Not particularly. He's pointing out that the bill they passed didn't make Segregation illegal, because Segregation did happen, legally and openly.

It's silly to suggest it didn't because this bill made it illegal.
 
Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith were African-Americans who were lynched on August 7, 1930 in Marion, Indiana. They had been arrested the night before, charged with robbing and murdering a white factory worker and raping his girlfriend. A large crowd broke into the jail with sledgehammers, beat the two men, and hanged them. Police officers in the crowd cooperated in the lynching. A third person, 16 year old James Cameron, narrowly escaped lynching thanks to an unidentified participant who announced that he had nothing to do with the rape or murder.[1] A studio photographer, Lawrence Beitler, took a photograph of the dead bodies hanging from a tree surrounded by a large crowd; thousands of copies of the photograph were sold.

WOW... 1930! STILL HAPPENING! WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? DID SOMEONE NOT LET THEM KNOW WE HAD A LAW AGAINST THIS SORT OF THING???

He is the one with the 6 foot tall letters in bold red ranting about illrelevant shit.

I merely pointed out that this bill was passed by legislators.

Nice to see how you completely ignored and avoided the first part of my reply. :palm:
 
The now considerably armed white mob pursued the black group toward Greenwood, with many stopping to loot local stores for additional weapons and ammunition. Along the way innocent bystanders, many of whom were letting out of a movie theater, were caught off guard by the riotous mob and began fleeing also. Panic set in as mobsters began firing on unassuming blacks in the crowd. At least one white man was apparently mistakenly shot and killed in the confusion.

OOPS... THEY SHOT A WHITE MAN! OH NO!
 
At around 11 p.m., members of the local National Guard unit began to assemble at the armory to organize a plan to subdue the rioters. Several groups were deployed downtown to set up guard at the courthouse, police station, and other public facilities. Members of the local chapter of the American Legion joined in on patrols of the streets. It soon became apparent, however, that the deployment of forces was being organized to protect the white districts adjacent to Greenwood. This manner of deployment led to them being set in apparent opposition to the black community. They began rounding up blacks who had not managed to make it back across the tracks to friendly territory and taking them to the armory for detainment.

I GUESS NEWS OF CRA HADN'T TRAVELED TO GREENWOOD YET?
 
Numerous accounts described airplanes carrying white assailants firing rifles and dropping firebombs on buildings, homes, and fleeing families. The planes, six biplane two-seater trainers left over from World War I, were dispatched from the nearby Curtis Field (now defunct) outside of Tulsa.[10] White law enforcement officials later claimed the sole purpose of the planes was to provide reconnaissance and protect whites against what they described as a "Negro uprising."[10] However, eyewitness accounts and testimony from the survivors confirmed that on the morning of June 1, the planes dropped incendiary bombs and fired rifles at black Tulsans on the ground.[10]

OR TULSA!
 
As the crowd moved on towards the Badlands, another black neighborhood, they encountered a black barber named Scott Burton. Burton attempted to defend his business with a warning shot from a shotgun, and was killed when the crowd returned fire. Burton's shop was burned and his body was dragged to a nearby saloon, where it was hung from a tree.

THIS DOESN'T SOUND LIKE PEOPLE WHO WERE EMBRACING DESEGREGATION!

I have said over and over again that this bill was unsuccessfull.
 
In 1892, a police officer in Port Jervis, New York, tried to stop the lynching of a black man who had been wrongfully accused of assaulting a white woman. The mob responded by putting the noose around the officer's neck as a way of scaring him. Although at the inquest the officer identified eight people who had participated in the lynching, including the former chief of police, the jury determined that the murder had been carried out "by person or persons unknown.

THIS IS WHAT ROUTINELY HAPPENED TO PEOPLE WHO SUPPORTED RACIAL EQUALITY AND CIVIL RIGHTS IN THE DAY!
 
Dixie knows that... I merely pointed out that there has been a desegration movement in the USA for over a hundred years.

My only point is that there were some in Congress who were for desegregation!

You are now trying to LIEEEEE again and claim it was the "Desegregation Act of 1875" and nowhere does it say a goddamn thing about desegregation, or segregation! You are a full of shit racist punk who is denying history, and denying FACTS!
