In my book, “Follow the Money,” I confidently state that Black Wall Street had to burn.
How can a black man, in this country, say such a thing? I was considering only the economic loops, and also, I was naive. I still believed in the system.
I didn’t think there was anything nefarious about it. I reasoned, because of brutal racism, former slaves created their own economic loop. And it competed with the main loop of the nation.
Let’s focus on reality. Because of a nationwide ban, former slaves had to do things themselves. They moved to Greenwood and started a community.
They had their own banks, stores, lawyers, doctors, and so on. They were called “Black Wall Street” almost as a pejorative, but it was gladly accepted.
A town of rich black people. This is far from the truth. What they discovered was a trick of money. What was the trick? We all already know it. Let’s do it with quotes:
“A dollar spent in Greenwood circulated 36 to 100 times before ever leaving the community.”
“Historians estimate that a dollar circulated 36 times in the community and may remain in Greenwood for as long as a year.”
“The Black dollar circulated anywhere from 36 to 1000 times, sometimes taking a whole year before leaving the community.”
“Each dollar… circulated within the Black community nearly 30 times before leaving.”
For generations, people minimized what happened. Then blamed white jealousy on what happened. The reality is this. The residents in Greenwood created a competing economic loop with our hidden antagonist. He declared that there can be only one.
Recently, in 2025, the American government admits “The massacre was… so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence.”
Someone, or a group of someones, burned a town to the ground. The only town, in the history of the United States, with its own economic loop.
I argued in Follow the Money, if they would’ve just left them alone, the system would’ve run its course. The town’s economy would’ve imploded on it’s own. Maybe our controllers didn’t want us to see the full course of what always happens? Or maybe they only have one move; suffering.
I can’t figure out my logic when writing the book. I rightly point out a number of things. Completely ignore the possibility of a potential conspiracy. Then I point out the reaction to the destruction of Black Wall Street.
Before the destruction of Black Wall Street, there were strict prohibitions for non-white people. They couldn’t buy, sell, or travel safely. After the Tulsa Massacre, the Jim Crow era arouse. Separate but equal.
None of this makes sense, unless someone with parabolic income, is making decisions behind the scenes. The violent response, and the massive shift shows how important he thinks the economic loops are.
