Trump is fanning the flames of hatred and racism.

He and his supporters can pretend that the choice of Tulsa for the Trump rally was just a coincidence and that the original date of June 19th just happened to be the only open date on the calendar?

But folks with more than one brain cell, can see that it was planned and contrived to further the divisive agenda of Donald Trump and the Republicans.

Trump knows the history of Tulsa: https://www.history.com/topics/roaring-twenties/tulsa-race-massacre "During the Tulsa Race Massacre (also known as the Tulsa Race Riot), which occurred over 18 hours on May 31-June 1, 1921, a white mob attacked residents, homes and businesses in the predominantly black Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The event remains one of the worst incidents of racial violence in U.S. history, and one of the least-known: News reports were largely squelched, despite the fact that hundreds of people were killed and thousands left homeless."

Yet, he persists.
