That's what they get for electing a black mayor.

Tulsa's new Black mayor proposes $100M trust to 'repair' impact of 1921 Race Massacre
(Full article at above link)

Tulsa's new mayor on Sunday proposed a $100 million private trust as part of a reparations plan to give descendants of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre scholarships and housing help in a city-backed bid to make amends for one of the worst racial attacks in U.S. history.
The plan by Mayor Monroe Nichols, the first Black mayor of Oklahoma's second-largest city, would not provide direct cash payments to descendants or the last two centenarian survivors of the attack that killed as many as 300 Black people. He made the announcement at the Greenwood Cultural Center, located in the once-thriving district that was destroyed by a white mob.Nichols said he does not use the term reparations, which he calls politically charged, characterizing his sweeping plan instead as a “road to repair.”“This is, I think, a very significant first step,” Nichols said. “And it's something we can all unite around. I think we can unite around housing specifically for affected populations. I think we can unite around investing in the Greenwood district and making sure that we're able to revitalize it to be an economic power again.”Nichols said the proposal would not require city council approval, although the council would need to authorize the transfer of any city property to the trust.Nichols' proposal comes on the heels of an executive order he signed earlier this year recognizing June 1 as Tulsa Race Massacre Observance Day, an official holiday for the city.Nichols also realizes the current national political climate, particularly President Trump's sweeping assault on diversity, equity and inclusion programs, provides challenging political crosswinds.“The fact that this lines up with a broader national conversation is a tough environment,” Nichols admitted, “but it doesn't change the work we have to do.”

A lawsuit filed by Solomon-Simmons on behalf of the survivors was rejected by the Oklahoma Supreme Court last year, dampening racial justice advocates' hopes that the city would ever make financial amends. (LOL -Punch)

Blacks murder whites at a rate of 2x to whites murdering blacks.  Even considering there are far fewer black people than white people.  Based on somewhat recent statistics, the FBI reported: 

Approximately 17.2% of White homicide victims were killed by Black offenders.

Approximately 8.5% of Black homicide victims were killed by White offenders.
