On May 31, 1921, a two-day massacre erupted in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as white mobs began looting and burning the affluent Black district of Greenwood over reports a Black man had assaulted a white woman in an elevator; though the exact number remains unknown, as many as 300 Black Tulsans were killed during the riot.
Not the only attack of this type...many, many - since the end of the American Civil War. Expect more if the Orange Menace and his hand picked clown brigade get what they want.

... President Donald Trump proclaimed in a post on his social media site Monday, May 5, that there will be two new holidays, each commemorating the end of WWI and WWII in Europe.
"All over the World, the Allies are celebrating the Victory we had in World War II.
