I first found out about the Tulsa race slaughter about two, maybe three years ago.
I am a 73 year old white adult with a high school education from my era.
When I was born, that slaughter was 26 years in the past.
Within my parents' lives. They were children in Iowa.

I saw someone today refer to that as "privilege," but it's not.
It is not a privilege, to be misinformed. It is manipulation. It is control. "My people" wouldn't be barbarians.
But they were. But I never found out.

3. 9/11/2001 was 20 years ago. Seems like yesterday. When I was born, the Tulsa race slaughter was only 6 years older than 9/11 is now.
Vanished like a puff of smoke. And only one of many, I'm also finding out just finally.
I mean, I didn't even know to ask.
Disinformation.

4. I'm on a kind of running kick about the disinformation machine we live within, because I think it's a crisis unattended, but simply withholding information is even simpler control.
What you never learn you never know. We're all born ignorant and naked. Dressed is easy.

5. I wonder what America might be if white people had just let black people be in peace. Not even a fair deal, just not kill them and burn their houses.
I think it'd be a lot better. For all of us.
