While the tragedy of the Tulsa Massacre must not be dismissed, it also must not be used as a political tool to divide the US along racial lines and push the false narrative that white people are inherently intolerant and the US is systemically racist. Instead of pitting Blacks against whites, poor Americans of all races would be better served if their leaders cleaned up city streets, improved schools, and implemented economic growth-oriented fiscal policies.
