Lest one forget the massacres of native Americans in the 19th century. But, oh
those weren't "Americans", were they? At least not the "real" Americans the
media is concerned about here...

The massacre at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando was a horrific tragedy.
But it was not unprecedented – and it was not the “deadliest mass
shooting in American history,” as many have called it.
To call it that is to forget the last hundred years of U.S. history of
mass violence fueled by racial hatred and homophobia. Although precise
numbers of deaths are impossible to specify, at least 100 African
Americans were killed in East St. Louis, Ill., in one bloody night in
July 1917; anywhere from 55 to 300 blacks were massacred in Tulsa,
Okla., in 16 hours in June 1921; and dozens more were killed in
Rosewood, Fla., in January 1923. And of course, more recently, 32 died
in the 1973 bombing of the UpStairs Lounge, a gay bar in New Orleans.
