Tulsa race riot

I'm not well versed on the subject and there seems to be a lot of conflicting accounts of what led to the destruction of "black wall street".
Was all of it because of the girl in the elevator and the alleged assault, or was it jealousy for the perceived prosperity the blacks were enjoying in spite of segregation?
also, did the blacks make it worse by fighting back?

Niggers simply wanted to fuck up the surrounding areas economy

a basic rundown would be nice OP

It was white people who started it.
They defended themselves when planes were used to bomb them out. The TT around the nation would have done the same, it luckily was a mobilizer for the TT/BVs to completely unify politically with the black masses

Also you seem like you want answers because this is your homework

Should've fought back harder, Hicks only understand being hit.

>Within five years after the massacre, surviving residents who chose to remain in Tulsa rebuilt much of the district. They accomplished this despite the opposition of many white Tulsa political and business leaders and punitive rezoning laws enacted to prevent reconstruction. It resumed being a vital black community until segregation was overturned by the Federal Government during the 1950s and 1960s. Desegregation encouraged blacks to live and shop elsewhere in the city, causing Greenwood to lose much of its original vitality.

What does this mean?

Being restricted forced them to make the best of what they had, but what they had wasn't always the best even at its most maintained and prosperous. The potential for greener pastures was far more enticing than maintaining something that, while it had become something prestigious and respectable, wasn't somewhere they actually wanted to be. It's a testament to their ability to build a community, nothing else.

Black professionals left for suburbs like other professionals and industry, they created upper class communities and left poorer people in the decaying inner cities with no industry left because after WWII black labour wasn't as important.

Of course some black upper classes remained in the cities but the money didn't circulate in the same way, black businesses couldn't compete and schools were shut down and the black kids sent to white schools.

Integration did not occur really, it was a near complete destruction of black autonomy and the incorporation into white establishments and power structures.

>black men in suits
Thanks to egalitarianism you will never see this again
Back when blacks had to prove they self worth rather than being told they are equals despite never having proven it

and those men in suits still got beat, rejected and reviled.

Having to prove your self worth to every single white guy in a song and dance to prove that you are a bitch to social mores that restricted you is mentally draining especially when it is never enough.
