There was an event similar to the Tulsa riot in Florida, at a community called Rosewood (i think). The state legislature took it up a few years ago and awarded compensation to existing survirors. In the states we seem accustomed to thinking about such things in terms of skin color, but the real issue is one of ethnic divides, not race in the biological sense. The media and people of Britain & Ireland (and maybe other europeans, but I can not speak with certinty) use the word race as a synonym for "ethnic". Witness the events in Northern Ireland. The only difference I see between there now and the american south of 40 or so years ago is sahdes of color between the oppressed and the oppressor. Here it was black & white; there it is orange and green. And of course, there are the tribal atrocities of Africa, and the recent ('80s} governmental genocide against the highland Maya of Guatemala. It happens all over the world, and all through time. The concern ought to be to find a way to make it stop. I mentioned here before that a Professor acquaintance defined apartheid as "a part of the struggle for advantage." Seems to me the best way to prevent such struggle might be for governments to assure that all their citizens, as a start, are actually treated equally before the law (i.e.; take away the notion of racial or ethnic advantage). That's what law is supposed to be about, but it doesn't always work that way.
