Funny, I don’t even live in the USA, and I know about Tulsa, who the people that died were, and whose homes and businesses were burned to the ground… How is it that someone who lives where it happened doesn’t know?
That’s some serious weapons-grade ignorance there.
I’d say its more weaponized ignorance. He knows what happened and why. He’s a current racist that doesn’t want past racists cast in a bad light. His ilk define critical race theory as being critical of racism and they don’t care for it.
I mean, as someone who teaches critical race theory, I’d say it is very critical of racism and the dynamics that create it, in addition to other things.
Not ignorance, propaganda. People in the US don’t know because, for the status quo to continue without major upheaval, they must not know. Not just Tulsa, but all this history.

It is not taught in schools. That’s the simple and unfortunate answer.
OT, but are you the FlyingSquid who used to spend a lot of time in /r/skeptic?
That’s me. Good to see (or sea?) you on this side!
Absolutely!

Lets call it “Keeping people dumb enough to be ruled”. It is done on purpose, on many levels, mostly in REP run states.
