Why did whites riot against blacks May 31-June 1 in 1921? They were furious at the financial success of BLACK WALL STREET. ENVY?

You got that right. JEALOUSY ENVY. They were LESS THAN by any measure and they could not take it. So they destroyed 35 square blocks of the Greenwood section. 39 dead. 800 required hospitalization. 10,000 left homeless. They even dropped bombs on some of the areas. Whatever they could get their hands on. Their jealous FURY just exploded! BLOOD ON BLACK WALL STREET. The color envy/jealousy is not green. IT IS RED..BLOOD RED.
