      It was just around Mother's Day in 1985 when the Philadelphia city government stuffed explosives into a satchel, flew a helicopter over a home on Osage Avenue in West Philadelphia, and dropped the bomb on top of it. A massive fire blazed - and officials let it blaze. Eleven people were killed, among them five children. That is what the city says but I have met children who survived and they say hundreds died. The fire spread from one house to another. Apartments and retail stores burned down.

      There really is a lot more to the story. It wasn't just white people marching in and massacring people. It started over an alleged assault by a black man on a white woman. People demanded he be lynched. A black crowd and a white crowd formed at the jailhouse. A white elderly man attempted to disarm a black man, the black man shot the white man which led to a shootout. 10 white people were killed and 2 blacks we killed. Later that night a riot of white people formed and killed around 27 black people.

      The federal government had nothing to do with this. The planes dropping bombs were private planes, dust croppers. The "bombs" were turpentine balls or containers that had fuses, were lit and thrown from the planes. Those were incendiary bombs. Remember that a number of those involved had just returned from WW I.

    The massacre began during the Memorial Day weekend after 19-year-old Dick Rowland, a Black shoeshiner, was accused of assaulting Sarah Page, the 17-year-old white elevator operator in the nearby Drexel Building. He was taken into custody. After Rowland was arrested, rumors that stated that he was going to be lynched were spread throughout the city, which had seen a White man named Roy Belton lynched the previous year. Upon hearing reports that a mob of hundreds of White men had gathered around the jail where Rowland was being held, a group of 75 Black men, some of whom were armed, arrived at the jail in order to ensure that Rowland would not be lynched. The sheriff persuaded the group to leave the jail, assuring them that he had the situation under control.
    The most widely-reported and corroborated inciting incident occurred as the group of Black men left, when an elderly White man approached O. B. Mann, a Black man, and demanded that he hand over his pistol. Mann refused, and the old man attempted to disarm him. Mann shot him, and then, according to the sheriff's reports, "all hell broke loose."[24] At the end of the exchange of gunfire, 12 people were dead, 10 White and two Black. Subsequently, the militants reportedly fled back into Greenwood,

When I took USA history, The People storybook did not have information about these massacres. This is not just happened here. It happened around the world. In my country, Spaniards killed our ancestors, the Mayans. They destroyed the library and now the civilization Maya has been found to be superior in knowledge, but because they were short, black hair, and black eyes they were labeled "savages". The Mayas did not invade Spain, Spaniards invaded the Latino Countries. So, if your neighbor enters your home without your permission, what will you do?

    Fact: The Jones Navy Laws came into effect, right in 1920. I'm not suggesting a restriction on foreign Navy transport (and commerce) activities curtailed African Americans - but it would have chilling effect on "nearly everybody". I can only wonder if there was a mini-crash on Wall Street in 1920. Or some king of large reduction in Economic prosperity.

    One of the last of the major riots of the “Red Summer” of 1919, the so-called race riot in Elaine, Arkansas was in fact a racial massacre. Though exact numbers are unknown, it is estimated that over 200 African Americans were killed, along with five whites, during the white hysteria of a pending insurrection of black sharecroppers. The violence, terror, and concerted effort to drive African Americans out of Phillips County, Arkansas was so jarring that Ida B. Wells, a founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), published a short book on the riot in 1920. It was also widely reported in African American newspapers like the Chicago Defender and generated several public campaigns to address the fallout.
    On the night of September 30, 1919, approximately 100 African Americans, mostly sharecroppers on the plantations of white landowners, attended a meeting of the Progressive Farmers and Household Union of America at a church in Hoop Spur, a small community in Phillips County, Arkansas. They hoped to organize to obtain better payments for their cotton crops. Aware of white fears of Communist influence on blacks, the union posted armed guards around the church to prevent disruption and infiltration.
    During the meeting, three white men pulled up to the front of the church. One of the men asked the guards, “Going coon hunting, boys?” Gunfire erupted after the guards made no response. Though sharp debate exists as to who fired first, the guards killed W.A. Adkins, a security officer from the Missouri-Pacific Railroad, and injured Charles Pratt, the deputy sheriff.
    The next morning, an all-white posse went to arrest the suspects. Though they encountered little opposition from the black community, the fact that blacks outnumbered whites ten-to-one in this area of Arkansas resulted in great fear of an “insurrection.” The concerned whites formed a mob numbering up to 1,000 armed men, many of whom came from the surrounding counties and as far away as Mississippi and Tennessee. Upon reaching Elaine, the mob began killing blacks and ransacking their homes. As word of the attack spread throughout the African American community, some black residents fled while others armed themselves in defense. The mob then turned its attention to disarming those blacks who fought back.
    Meanwhile, local white newspapers further inflamed tensions by reporting that there were planned black uprisings. By October 2, U.S. Army troops arrived in Elaine, and the white mobs began to disperse. Federal troops rounded up and placed several hundred blacks in temporary stockades, where there were reports of torture. The men were not released until their white employers vouched for them. There was also considerable evidence that many of the soldiers sent to quell the violence engaged in the systematic killing of black residents.
    In the end, 122 blacks but no whites were charged by the Phillips County grand jury for crimes related to the riots. Their court-appointed lawyers did little in their defense despite the investigation and involvement of the NAACP. The first 12 men tried for first-degree murder were convicted and sentenced to death. As a result, 65 others entered plea bargains and accepted up to 21 years for second-degree murder. Led by black attorney Scipio Africanus Jones, the NAACP and other civil rights groups worked towards retrials and release of the “Elaine Twelve.” Eventually they won their release, with the last of the twelve set free on January 14, 1925.

      Yes, it likely would be turpentine bombs or gasoline bombs, not bombs used during the war. They were private planes, not government planes.
