Massacres of Black People, there are more
I took an african american history course last semester. This isn't even half of it. Maybe not even a quarter. Hell its certain there are many we don't even know about. Some of the cities on this map had far more than one.
Indeed The Half Has Never Been Told
Adding that to my list, thanks :)
I was going to say, it was a lot worse than this
personally I dislike any massacre
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charleston_church_shooting
An anti-black mass shooting and hate crime occurred on June 17, 2015, in Charleston, South Carolina. Nine people were killed, and one was injured, during a Bible study at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, the oldest black church in the Southern United States. Among the fatalities was the senior pastor, state senator Clementa C. Pinckney. All ten victims were African Americans. At the time, it was the deadliest mass shooting at a place of worship in U.S. history, until the Sutherland Springs church shooting in 2017.
atlanta 1906
following a KKK musical tour (not a joke) and lurid newspaper reports of black men raping white women, 15,000 white people marched through Five Points, Atlanta, killing every black person they could find and smashing up black owned businesses
30 killed and 90 injured by official reports but some think it was way more.
Education Secretary Won't Say If She Knows What The Tulsa Race Massacre Is
“I’d like to look into it more and get back to you on it,” Linda McMahon told a House committee.

Subtext:
"I need to find a conspiracy narrative that spins it just the way my constituency likes it."
In Linda MacMahon's defense, this is her and she has no business running the Department of Education in the first place.
Tulsa race massacre of 1921 is/was a well-kept secret. It was horrific. I live in Tulsa and I'd bet 20% of the citizenry knows about it.
It's terrifying how effectively that particular massacre was covered up. Makes you wonder what else we're missing.
Philadelphia 1985, that'd be the MOVE bombing where the Philly police fucking airbombed a residential apartment block to kill a black liberation group (MOVE)
Wilmington NC is the site of the only successful white supremacist coup de tat in the US where the mayor was forced to resign by mob and power handed to the supremacists.
This image from the Wikipedia page is great.
Certainly hypole comparing it to the Hamadian massacres. Still. Good image.
I don't have a reference but I highly doubt it's the only. Or maybe we just have a different definition of coup.
Only 1 in Alabama? That doesn't seem right.
Maybe only 1 reported?
Please everyone go readsettlers.org . It's an illuminating book on a lot of the atrocities the settler empired unleashed on the nations it subjugated.
The earliest on this graph is 2015 O.O
Gonna look that up
Edit: it was a white supremracist that targeted black people in a church, killed 9 and injured another
*racists. There's nothing ultra about this, this is the natural conclusion of racism.
Wow Mississippi only has two? Did not expect them to beat by Louisiana.
Thankfully everything east of the Rockies doesn't exists.
Tangentially, why the fuck were confederates allowed to keep their political offices? The mayor at the time was a reinstated pro-confederacy Democrat. Unhung traitors truly are the death of a republic.
Same reason Fascist 47 is in office, and the loophole in the the 13th amendment exists: traitors gonna trait, and we negotiated with them.
Bcs primarily it wasn't a war on slavery, just on profiteering of socialite giants. The USA/north industries had more economic prosperity without slaves (more "people" = higher consumption), the south was spoken by economic powers with high slave labour.
Yes there were activists against slavery, but that wasn't new, nor did they affect the war iirc/afaik.
And the war industry was infantile (for the last time) at that point.
So after the fighting stopped, there was no reason to proceed with regular after-war stuff (changing & defacing leadership & ideologies, taking guns, instituting mandatory reparations, paying war debts, etc) as long as the economy functioned & recovered. The south kept the guns & their beliefs. And the slaves (just like in the north) entered the lowest economical class which is on average the reason why even today black people are statistically poorer. And still facing the same flavour of racism.
Humans are just disguising. A random product of a very specific evolution path (we have a smol gene pool/variety).
Sherman should've kept going.
