Lol Here's some land, we'll be back in a year to collect property taxes
. How do I make this land profitable?
Not our problem. Also, you can't sell it so you best start making money fast.
That sounds about right. What are the chances these new freedmen had the equipment, resources, and know-how to effectively cultivate their lands?
Could have at least granted the land with perhaps a 20 year grace period or so without taxing it.

They did this to a lot of non whites that had money in the Midwest due to the oil boom. I read Killers of the Flower Moon and was disgusted. Each and every one of their descendants that are still benefiting off of those stolen funds should have to pay a percentage to the families that were wronged.
And miss me with the, Oh that happened so long ago narrative. Some of those people's kids are still alive today.

This story is a cover up for what really happen to my Great Great Great Grandmother sister this is my Great Great Great Aunt and the reason why no one can find her family is because they changed her name on 10 times so she can fit into the white community and the can control her fund as. Prove by paper trails of name changing plus my blood work tells it all.

Humanity is really strange sometimes, I'm only even hearing about this womans life because she garnered such an exceptional amount of printed pieces of paper that she was finally considered worth enough to focus on. There are millions of forgotten lives- makes you wonder why, or if at all someone may bring up our stories once we're gone.

I'm so glad she was in Oklahoma. Something tells me if this would have happened in Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia or South Carolina we never would have heard of her. Good for her to overcome the racial prejudices of her day to be prosperous and help others.

I love how our wonderful government gave those people seemingly worthless land, incapable of growing anything but still wanting that property tax. F-ers! Good for her!

Cool story, but I don't get this forcing to give her merit when it was pure luck. Sounds like political militancy interfering with facts.

Also tell that guy at the end that his text book joke was never funny. .-.
