A Black man like me is not supposed to love Oklahoma. But in studying my home state’s history of violence, theft and wild ambitions, I learned to reckon with its legacy

    Oklahoma is easy to understand. Take white people, remove education, add some black people, take away a decent wage and hope. Boom, instant Oklahoma

      Yeah, I drove through there once. Illegally pulled over and searched (oregon plates). Wasn’t even remotely surprised it happened. Fuck Oklahoma, apologies to those who have to live there.
