An Oklahoma judge dismissed the reparations lawsuit filed by Lessie Benningfield Randle, 108, Viola Fletcher, 109, and her brother, Hughes Van Ellis, 102, the last three known survivors of the Tulsa race massacre. America has $70 Billion for Ukrainians in conflict with Russians

These are the ACTUAL SURVIVORS who escaped death and watched the MURDER of their loved ones. America paid reparations to the JAPANESE for internment during WWII. It paid reparations to Jews for the Holocaust, which didn’t even happen in America. America is so antiBlack it
