and asked the question - Is it time to stop calling it a riot and start calling it a massacre?

Lord have mercy - Tulsans tried to break the internet. After about 500 comments on the story, many of them worthy of their own FBI investigations, they finally pulled the story. It seems too many current residents think their ancestors should have finished the job and they are chopping at the bit for their shot. I've lived in Tulsa since 1981, I currently live just off Greenwood. I have never seen Tulsa more divided racially than it is now. As it is with most social issues, OK seems to take 1 step forward and 3 steps back.
