From what incredibly limited research I have done (literally just asking ChatGPT), it seems like they actually set up mutual aid networks in Tulsa. But I just want to know the general analysis of Black Wall Street.

    General tldr take, not much more than at the vibes level, so take this with a pound of salt.

    The black community being shut out of pretty much all services that the whites in their communities had,left a vacuum. The few black community members with some amount of wealth were able to create parallel structures, like banks and grocery stores and doctors offices, to meet the needs of the community. Then they got to get wealthier.

    Black capitalism is still capitalism and white racists were gonna racist.
