One of the things which the white oklahomans wish for is to have adequate monetary compensation for the survivors. The belief that everyone has to pay for the wrong doings otherwise societies will not have any incentive to do the right thing. It may be in the form of direct money or in the form of scholarships for the descendants of the survivors.
They are also fine with building Memorial to highlight the unjust done to the black people of the area.
The blacks of the Gulsa, Oklahoma still believe that segregation exists in the area and anger and resentment are still prevalent among the blacks with respect to the riots of 1921.
The whites of the area also consider the riots an ethnic cleansing in which the white authorities of the area also supported murdering of black people and burning of the homes and businesses in the area. It is also estimated from a rare footage of the incident that white people dropped explosives On The Homes from World War 1 planes.
Respectability politics is a relatively new term used to refer to the marginalised communities attempts To police their own members and portray their values to be consistent with the mainstream values. It does not attempt to challenge the mainstream culture and values which fails to accept its diversity.
It makes people comfortable by taking the responsibility away from the way we treat other race people.
Don Lemons had advised the black people to help themselves. Jay Smooth criticizes the advice given especially based on the context in which it is given. He give the example of advising to brush your teeth daily which looks like a good advice. So it may not be a good advice to someone whose teeth have just been broken because of being punched in the face. He said that the respectability politics gives out advice which is a valid in abstract but is irrelevant in a certain context.
He states that the purpose of respectability politics is to modify the shame and not to provide any solution to the young black people. He believes that we should shun respectability politics and believe in the Trayvon generation of the young people who are showing the way forward.
