My next piece is about the Tulsa race massacre, and I make this very point.

I keep thinking about the Tulsa Race Massacre. This time they're not burning our communities, yet. They're starting with a massacre by paperwork.

As one of the attorneys doing the Massacre Reparations for the last 20 years, the post-Massacre response was all about the paperwork: rezoning laws, denial of insurance, “loss” of records, refusal of aid by the Governor, and persecution of Black community leaders to force them into exile.

That the community built back to the extent it did is a testament to the next generation of leaders who reformed connections and refused to let the City, the State, and the thousands of terrorists living around them prevent rebuilding efforts.

There are lessons there for Black communities large and small. I live near Altadena, the community impacted by the Eaton fire. Every day, I think about how Tulsa (and New Orleans and …) provide lessons for how that community builds back, and the challenges ahead.

This clip becomes a little less funny/more serious every year.
