It's a big lie. White folks are the most proficient when it comes to documenting history. It's funny that these same white folks will attempt to tell us that the civil war had nothing to do with slavery. Or better yet they love to push the narrative: " we had a black president, and black politicians, actors, athletes, etc as to deny, while embellishing the history behind the mistreatment of black man, woman and child here in America.
@@capitolmobrecords8720 Majority of black leaders always said, it's the black economic structure that would destroy white supremacy and all it's forms.
I watched it twice and was appalled by the evil that was inflicted on our people simply because of jealousy and the color of their skin. Reparations for these victims is way overdue
It was as eye opening as it was painful. It's a must watch. I can't believe the hatred these people had and continue to have for black people. When will we as black people wake up. We need to be separate but equal. Desegregation was perhaps the worst thing that could have happened to us as a race. Black Wall Street is just an example that we can get along without them. Had they not gotten jealous and burned it down, it would have thrived.

That was so touching of this man to paint murals and understand the pain Blacks suffered and still suffers to this day. If ALL people had a heart like him the world would be great!
You can see from his story that the white nationalist or the racist white are white in colour but black in mind. They are the devil's incarnate. The Tulsa massacre is the work of the devil's army. Pure hate.
No he doesn't fooled again damn we don't never learn . Look more closely . Why is it a black women carrying a black man out of danger . Just like the always a that the black women is the back bone of the community . Image is everything thing . That was calculated .
You can hear it in his voice , a sense of shame or guiltiness , realizing that white people like himself , are responsible for the mistreatment and hardships imposed on black people in America . I respect him for inner acknowledgement that the changes necessary , start with each individual ! When America as a whole , would come to an agreement pertaining to accepting the responsibilities of their behavior towards black people , then changes can begin ! We should pray to God Almighty Yahweh for help and guidance to make the necessary changes , in the name of his black son Yahshua .
But he wouldn't stand up to get black people reparations for all atrocities that we have been through a white man getting to paint this memorial is a slap in the face
a large % of WHITE PEOPLE are not Racist, & geniunely feel BAD for what their ancestors did . And i respect that 100% ..... Im not one of those BLACK PEOPLE who go around thinking all White People are Evil & Racist. Every RACE has good & evil in it period ...
@Brother 360 are you an idiot?? So let's not talk about it let's ignore.. thats the problem half of the kids in this country don't even know about the horrific events that have happened. Miss me with your stupidity or fight me...
@Brother 360 Netflix and Disney have very little to do with why children aren't taught these topics. Its because these topics aren't taught in schools period. I graduated from high school in 2016 which is pretty recent. We never covered Tulsa or any race related issues. And my school was pretty progressive considering the state. Hell we even glossed over the civil war. As in the whole civil war. Not just the part about slavery. History doesn't seem to be all that important in schools. There are still schools who believe the cause of th he civil war was states rights.
@Brother 360 Oy oy oy! The victims of a massacre don't need to understand anything about history; they are the victims of history. It's the perpetrators and their descendants who must understand history and feel and identify with those they've massacred. Who are you speaking about when you say, "...you all"? Need I point out that the mainstream argument for teaching a critical American history is not winning with the population and is being rejected? This perpetuated ignorance will only cause further power, racialist displays killing more citizens and influencing "American interests" around the world.
@Brother 360 My understanding of what you are saying suffers from your nomenclature. First what do you mean when you say, "...to the people who are black." when you say, "you people"? You ARE probably right when you say that those people who don't read books are probably ignorant. I also suggest that you begin reading again, as I've got a sneaking suspicion that your children have been "reading" your books on the sly to cash in on that storehouse of - ummm - intelligence to be garnished, there. Now the fact of north and south as dependent upon ... what do YOU mean when you say that Europe lies more southernly than does Africa? Such things are determined quite easily with a stick and the length of shadow it casts at any given time of day. What cities of Europe lie more south from what cities in Africa, in your opinion?
@Total Destruction- they will, and it's because of this way of thinking it's taken so long to consider it, the united Nations literally ruled that we have a a great case, and passed a resolution to the effect. The problem is we aren't organised, the court of Human rights is the key.
IM TIRED OF YOU SO CALLED AFRICAN AMERICANS, YOU R NOT GETTING REPARATIONS, THINK IF THEY GAVE ALL THE SO CALLED AFRICAN AMERICANS 5 MILLION DOLLARS A PIECE ,WHOSE GOING TO WORK. THE NEXT DAY, AMERIKKKA WOULD SHUTDOWN , I WOULD TAKE MY MONEY AND LEAVE AMERIKKKA. BUT THEY NOT GIVEN YOU NOTHING.

Also that is what the courts are for. The problem is that slave mentality.
Nonsense. Compared to the rest of the world, the last 100 years in America have been pretty good. Black-washing history is just as stupid as white-washing it. What was worse, the Tulsa massacre of 1921 or the Rwanda genocide in Africa back in 1994? There's only one correct answer.
You need to hear the lies Fox news is saying about 1619 project and why racism, slavery and history on how they treated Blacks in America should be stop, banned. Republicans already trying to pass laws to stop schools from teaching about racism, history of slavery and how they stole land from Native Americans. Its bad enough kids dont know a lot of history, they go on the internet and anyone can tell a lie about what really happen Its a person on youtube now lying about Harriet Tubman, saying she was never a real person

Wow, heart breaking story, and the artist said something that is so touching, im not black, but I'm human,, at the end of it all, we are all human beings,
I was born in 58 and went through high school in Texas and its beyond understanding that I wasn't taught about the Tulsa Black Wall St massacre. How can we say that truth conquers lies when we simply forget the truth of painful times. There are very good reasons to tear down confederate monuments and celebrate the confederacy was defeated. Now is the time.
I was moved by the empathy and the realism of and for the struggle that we as a race of people of color go through by the artist; and by the impact that a little bit of immersing his time and energy into wanting to know just a little bit about what we go through has changed his life.
I agree. Hate only breeds more hate. The hatred needs to stop now. Yes, it was and is shameful atrocity. It should never be forgotten and reparations are a must. At the end of the day, nothing can undo this horrible deed against our people. Continuing the hatred is never the answer. God sees everything and one He will make recompense for our suffering. Hatred is not the way. If we hate, we are no better than those who have so shamefully misused us. And to think, we are killing each other everyday. Lord help my people!!!!!!!

It's now exploitation time.Soon the burden of cold despair,& the heat of pain that was dealt with for more than a century ago, will be amicably commercialized & softly watered down to suit the comfortable needs of the overall populace.

That was the most BEAUTIFUL QUOTE I’ve her hear. “I’m a human being, telling the story of another human being.” With that being said and I’m black. I feel honored to know a white painted her life story. Coming from a black perspective.
Next time you get racially profiled, stopped by a cop, accused by a Karen - just remember to tell them, " I'm a human being". And tell us all how that goes for you Poochie.
What you need to be impressed with is that THE BIBLE which is the book of your FORE-FATHERS not the person that you are praising over a mural. That's nice and all but I praise the Almighty who chose us...not all! That's where your HONOR should be along with uplifting your very own nation.
The pain and characters this man was able to paint not having any connection to it but through just empathy as a human being seeing and accepting someone's pain and able to tell their story in his work it's amazing.
That is a well done art piece. It's haunting and thought provoking. The artist must have put a great amount of feeling into the project. I'll have to visit the site.

@@BengiAndSnuggles Even if the artist had been black, it wouldn't mean he really felt the fullness of what happened. We understand that "all our skinfolk ain't our kinfolk". Believe me, I've worked with some black and biracial people who were more irritated than interested when black history or issues were discussed. One even had the nerve to say the police don't treat you differently because you're black. Laughable. Regardless of his color, the guy created something to help advance the movement to unearth these buried injustices. Noone is crowning him king. Just showing appreciation for a job well done. You may say he doesn't care at all, but the mural evokes emotion. That doesn't typically happen unless some emotion went into painting it. (Just as a singer without emotion can't touch an audience the way one who feels the song can.) I do agree that the day is coming for those who have committed crimes against and oppressed God's people. No doubt there.

The gentleman did a wonderful job on this painting. You can see from his realist horror on the face of the wife and the mother and daughter running down the street that the artist felt their sorrow and fright. It's a sham that this happened and it's also a sham that we are just now finding out about this terrible waste of life because of hatred and jealousy. God bless the artist for a great work of art that tells the story for all to see!
What about reparations? Is Roland planning to have a show on reparations for Tulsa Black families? A little girl who witnessed the actual massacre is still living and still waiting for compensation damages.
Gods Wrath Against mankind is being revealed from Heaven against all the godlessness and Wickedness of men who suppress the Truth by their Wickedness. Gods anger is because Evil men have substituted Yahweh Elohim's Truth with Lies.

You are the ignorant one IRON MIKE! They could have commissioned a black artist and compensated them. Instead a another White person gets to profit from a black tragedy!!!
It too does matter! White ppl have their privilege and more than their share of breaks. If an unknown black artist were given this commission it would have put them on the map and possibly open the doors for other aspiring black artists!!!

Or better yet they love to push the narrative: " we had a black president, and black politicians, actors, athletes, etc as to deny, while embellishing the history behind the mistreatment of black man, woman and child here in America.

Everyone needs to watch the Black Wall Street documentary on Monday night.
I rewatched it last night on CNN it’s truly an act of evil done in this community motivated solely by hatred n greed!!!
I watched it twice and was appalled by the evil that was inflicted on our people simply because of jealousy and the color of their skin. Reparations for these victims is way overdue
I watched it twice 🥺
It was as eye opening as it was painful. It's a must watch. I can't believe the hatred these people had and continue to have for black people. When will we as black people wake up. We need to be separate but equal. Desegregation was perhaps the worst thing that could have happened to us as a race. Black Wall Street is just an example that we can get along without them. Had they not gotten jealous and burned it down, it would have thrived.

Even half would be enough.
You can see from his story that the white nationalist or the racist white are white in colour but black in mind. They are the devil's incarnate. The Tulsa massacre is the work of the devil's army. Pure hate.

@@druth5134 thx u for seein what I saw and speakin on it they act as if he did a good deed. Why is he even painting the mural.
You can hear it in his voice , a sense of shame or guiltiness , realizing that white people like himself , are responsible for the mistreatment and hardships imposed on black people in America . I respect him for inner acknowledgement that the changes necessary , start with each individual ! When America as a whole , would come to an agreement pertaining to accepting the responsibilities of their behavior towards black people , then changes can begin ! We should pray to God Almighty Yahweh for help and guidance to make the necessary changes , in the name of his black son Yahshua .

@Brother 360 are you an idiot?? So let's not talk about it let's ignore.. thats the problem half of the kids in this country don't even know about the horrific events that have happened. Miss me with your stupidity or fight me...
@Brother 360 Netflix and Disney have very little to do with why children aren't taught these topics. Its because these topics aren't taught in schools period. I graduated from high school in 2016 which is pretty recent. We never covered Tulsa or any race related issues. And my school was pretty progressive considering the state. Hell we even glossed over the civil war. As in the whole civil war. Not just the part about slavery. History doesn't seem to be all that important in schools. There are still schools who believe the cause of th he civil war was states rights.
@Brother 360 Oy oy oy! The victims of a massacre don't need to understand anything about history; they are the victims of history. It's the perpetrators and their descendants who must understand history and feel and identify with those they've massacred.
Who are you speaking about when you say, "...you all"? Need I point out that the mainstream argument for teaching a critical American history is not winning with the population and is being rejected? This perpetuated ignorance will only cause further power, racialist displays killing more citizens and influencing "American interests" around the world.
@Brother 360 My understanding of what you are saying suffers from your nomenclature. First what do you mean when you say, "...to the people who are black." when you say, "you people"? You ARE probably right when you say that those people who don't read books are probably ignorant. I also suggest that you begin reading again, as I've got a sneaking suspicion that your children have been "reading" your books on the sly to cash in on that storehouse of - ummm - intelligence to be garnished, there.
Now the fact of north and south as dependent upon ... what do YOU mean when you say that Europe lies more southernly than does Africa? Such things are determined quite easily with a stick and the length of shadow it casts at any given time of day. What cities of Europe lie more south from what cities in Africa, in your opinion?
This is why reparations are a must, Tulsa and other genocidal atrocities.
Chicago is the first city to offer reparations.
@Total Destruction- they will, and it's because of this way of thinking it's taken so long to consider it, the united Nations literally ruled that we have a a great case, and passed a resolution to the effect.
The problem is we aren't organised, the court of Human rights is the key.
@Total Destruction- the time is now, collectivity is the key.
IM TIRED OF YOU SO CALLED AFRICAN AMERICANS, YOU R NOT GETTING REPARATIONS, THINK IF THEY GAVE ALL THE SO CALLED AFRICAN AMERICANS 5 MILLION DOLLARS A PIECE ,WHOSE GOING TO WORK. THE NEXT DAY, AMERIKKKA WOULD SHUTDOWN , I WOULD TAKE MY MONEY AND LEAVE AMERIKKKA. BUT THEY NOT GIVEN YOU NOTHING.

Nonsense. Compared to the rest of the world, the last 100 years in America have been pretty good. Black-washing history is just as stupid as white-washing it. What was worse, the Tulsa massacre of 1921 or the Rwanda genocide in Africa back in 1994? There's only one correct answer.

@@BengiAndSnuggles Even if the artist had been black, it wouldn't mean he really felt the fullness of what happened. We understand that "all our skinfolk ain't our kinfolk". Believe me, I've worked with some black and biracial people who were more irritated than interested when black history or issues were discussed. One even had the nerve to say the police don't treat you differently because you're black. Laughable. Regardless of his color, the guy created something to help advance the movement to unearth these buried injustices. Noone is crowning him king. Just showing appreciation for a job well done. You may say he doesn't care at all, but the mural evokes emotion. That doesn't typically happen unless some emotion went into painting it. (Just as a singer without emotion can't touch an audience the way one who feels the song can.) I do agree that the day is coming for those who have committed crimes against and oppressed God's people. No doubt there.

So many black artist and in 2021 they still telling our story
How can anyone be so evil, hateful, and heartless cause how a person was born? Who are they really mad at? Can’t be mad and angry at humans so who are they really pissed at?
Always Something • they are mad, angry and pissed off at themselves. What a sorry state to be in, constantly mad at oneself. Hate and jealousy is in the DNA of these kinds of people.
This man is God sent! ❤️
💚Goodness...😬
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! We mU.S.t never forget!
And she said, he had never heard about it. I'm black and I'd never heard about it until 3 years ago and if it weren't for the internet, I never would have heard about it at all. It is not in the history books because they don't want us to know what they did. What a surprise!
It's crazy that this government took part in this and they still exist. And to think no one is held responsible.
I’m so glad the fact that planes dropping bombs on this community are being told, that tells you a lot about who was involved in this.
Love roland martin going out doing journalism and great interviews
Yes he is doing an excellent job!
I PRAISE YAHWEH for this man. The Bible says, from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. This is a BOLD STATEMENT! The fact that YAHWEH BLESSED the hands of this man to move in his heart and tell the truth: does it really matter? Especially after hearing what he is saying.
The Bible says, in END TIMES things that were done in the dark, he has bringing to the LIGHT. The Bible says, YAHWEH judges all men and women by their heart.
Beautiful! I love true artist!! That is incredible.. I wish they could do a movie on this!!
True Art or true Artist?
Dreamland is a documentary airing Monday 5/31/21 on CNN, produced by LeBron James and Maverick Carter.
Thats right thats for the reminder
I will definitely be watching, thanks for the reminder
Thx
Thanks again Roland we appreciate everything u been doing for years 👍
As a Black artist I am not convinced that there was not one of us that could tell the Tulsa story in a mural.🙄 As he said the fine arts community doesn’t push Black artist to tell white stories, but he can tell MY story as an artist. WTF!
In addition, he didn’t do that mural for free Sir, he got paid. How many Black artist get those type of commissions.
Black folks will break our necks not to be seen as bias while getting crapped on in our own backyards. I can’t with y’all 😞
@Gaila Turner I totally agree and it's an insult to all of our Black artists!
What a beautiful mural it conveys the woman’s devastation so you can feel it. It also shows her strength, the strength it will take to continue on raising her child.
Why was a white artist picked to paint this to tell this story when there are lots of talented black artists? 🤷🏾♀️
💯💯💯 I agree. He does phenomenal work but. . .odd choice. I know 5 dope top celebrity muralists in N. TX (way closer to OK than MD).
because like he said, it's not just a BLACK STORY, it's a HUMAN STORY ........... So stop being ignorant, & respect the Man's great work .
You are the ignorant one IRON MIKE! They could have commissioned a black artist and compensated them. Instead a another White person gets to profit from a black tragedy!!!
DON'T MATTER AS LONG AS THE MESSAGE GETS OUT.....
It too does matter! White ppl have their privilege and more than their share of breaks. If an unknown black artist were given this commission it would have put them on the map and possibly open the doors for other aspiring black artists!!!
Thank you, for the beautiful painful truth mirror of the past. Why do we have so much hate just because the color of our skin? God Bless you 🙏🏽
As an Artist myself I totally understand the reason why we never get job offers for any Art portraits. Their jealous & scare of us period.
This is how our government can Really Make America Great... Tell the truth, Provide repatriations, Level the playing field, and Never allow these atrocities to happen again! A house divided cannot stand. Thank you for sharing this compassionate artist’s mural and message.🙏🏻🙏🏿🙏🏾
that mural should have come from black hands not the ones who destroyed it.... stockholm much?? human this!!
Even so, nobody black painted it…
He is a Man who feels empathy, like Jane Elliott and Tim Wise. And he didn't have anything to do with the massacre. He did a great job ✊🏽✊✊🏾
@@reneamcgee3057 we know that...animals did the dirty work and still are. Burning and bricks then try to blame the peaceful protestors. The same lies.
