      Skin colour was just a visual indicator of class that told white people that black people were lower in the social hierarchy than them. There's a lot of overlap, it's not like white people were terrified of the colour brown generally.

      I think it would be a mistake to say that the Tulsa massacre, also known as The Black Wall Street wasn't a heady mixture of both classism and racism.
