(PROJECT) A Gathering Place For Tulsa

[Hoss]

I don't ignore the past, but how necessary is it really to keep dredging up things like the Race Riot as if it just happened? To me that is the antithesis of healing and progressing.  I feel fortunate to have grown up in a post CRA era where attitudes were changing towards other races.  I believe that was important.  However, to keep picking at scabs like the race riot, Tate Brady, etc. seems really counter-productive.  As you said we are projecting it.  I already know how bad and ignorant racial attitudes were 100 years ago, I don't need a daily refresher course to feel whole.

You mean our current President doesn't remind you of that every single day?

Yes. 8 years of anyone who disagreed with the Obama administration was labeled a RWRE bigoted racist hater who needs to sit down and shut up because elections have consequences and and the Republicans lost so be quiet.

Cite a source.  And from a mainstream outlet. Left wing journalism has its extremism too.  A lot of mainstream media outlets are saying our current president is a racist.  If it quacks like a duck...

That's not at all a news article, it's a Obama hit piece by a far right wing "think tank".

It's simply the truth that while many non-racist people disagreed with Obama on his polices, there also were and are large numbers of racist people that hated him simply because he is black. Trump has built his base on the anger of those people.

There is no doubt that those people exist.  Do you have any numbers?

Fortunately, I live a life now in a place and have a lifestyle that allows me to tune out the things which divide us as humans.  Of course, that's because I'm working my arse off 24/7 now that the brewery is open so I don't have time to get absorbed in it.

Keep your politics out of this thread please..

Here are some recent pictures.  Lots of "sneak previews" currently happening for the corporations who donated and their employees.  Can't wait to drive through those tunnels..

I'm really looking forward to it opening.   I hear there is a going to be a preview for the local neighborhood later this month.  If I go, I'll take some pictures and post.

Ouch. Metal slides and Oklahoma summer heat is not a good combo.

Saw that and thought the same thing.  Maybe they are actually plastic?  A lot of the playground equipment comes from Germany where it doesn't get as hot, hmm..

Im glad to see some shielded lighting, I just wish that were the case on Riverside Drive.

If the light color is closer to amber than blue I will heap praise... but I dont know that our city thinking has progressed that far yet.

Stava told me that the lights are not blue and are all on auto dimmers.
