 Reader's Guide for Riot and Remembrance published by Houghton Mifflin Company
Black and white Tulsans today agree that a wrong was committed, but balancing the scales of justice — in this case, by paying reparations to fl riot survivors — would drive a deep wedge between the fls who demand restitution for their losses and the whites who disavow any responsibility.
Whites, however, saw Greenwood as a cesspool of crime and immorality, a district of opium dens, jazz joints, brothels, speakeasies, and gunplay.
White Tulsans, in contrast, believed that the fls at the courthouse were drunken lawbreakers who started the riot and that Greenwood was destroyed by a band of ruffians who did not represent the city.

 ZNet Commentary
Welcome to the color-blind world of 1999: where color is still quite visible, but where whiteness remains unobservable to the naked eye; where deviance and anti-social behavior remain individualized when the perpetrators of said mayhem are melanin-challenged, but where race becomes the focal point of analysis whenever the fl and brown are involved.
Whenever whites engage in destructive behavior, their race is seen as irrelevant, whereas the same acts engaged in by Blacks or Latinos bring out the chorus of neo-eugenicists, clamoring to explain how there's something either genetic or culturally defective about the swarthier types which causes them to act that way.
So when white boys-and only white boys-shoot up or blow up their schools, and when whites-and only whites-get involved with some ritualistic, Satanic, vampire cult that kills folks and cannibalizes them; and when white folks-at least 92% of the time-are the ones committing serial murder, it's as if no one can see skin color anymore.
