Talk:1906 Atlanta race massacre

message: ... the requirement to possess a license to carry a handgun openly, that was passed by the General Assembly following the Atlanta Race Riot of 1906.
*History Of Georgia's Carry Laws: The Continuing Legacy of Slavery and Racism "In the years following the riot, white voters and the all white General Assembly systematically disenfranchised and then disarmed blacks in Georgia. In 1910, the General Assembly imposed licensing requirements with the intent to disarm blacks by using the same seemingly non-discriminatory manner that successfully disenfranchised Blacks two years earlier. To possess a firearm a license issued by the Ordinary (now known as probate judge) must be applied for and granted. Applicants had to be: a) at least eighteen years old or over b) give a bond payable to the Governor of the State in the sum of one hundred dollars, AND c) a fee of fifty cents. $100 in 1910 is equivalent to over $2000 in 2007 dollars. In the unlikely event a black man could post the bond, the Ordinary, who was always white, since blacks could not hold office, could be counted on to deny the application. Judicial Immunity applicable to the Ordinary meant that Blacks were unable to challenge the license denials." Retrieved 2009-07-27.'
According to GeorgiaCarry.org, one of the outcomes was a de facto ban on firearm possesion by African Americans. If it's true (and I don't say it is or that the source is good enough) we oughta include it in this article. Felsic2 (talk) 17:30, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

message: It seems odd to have the image of newspaper coverage of this terribly American manifestation of ethnic fear and hatred to be a French newspaper, with a quote in the Lead from the French paper. Why not use an American one? The NY Times covered the riot, as did other papers outside Atlanta. I would imagine the Library of Congress may have images available for use in this article, as well as access to other US papers, to see contemporary coverage. Editors should use the books on this topic and not exclusively the primary sources of the papers of the time.Parkwells (talk) 12:38, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Choice of leading sources and image

message: Delete use of term "pogrom" in the Lead; it is a synonym for this kind of race or ethnic riot, was not part of contemporary usage, and does not add anything to the article. Certainly there has been considerable academic studies of the similarities among riots against ethnic minorities in various societies, and it is not found only between the Russian Empire and the US. Minorities were targeted in Southeast Asia, for instance.Parkwells (talk) 12:43, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: "Riot" makes it sound like it was an even fight between 2 mobs, "pogrom" is probably more accurate to describe this as whites attacking a minority group with less power politically. Jamesman666 (talk) 00:28, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Word choice

message: Under Background, the following sentence appears:  “After the end of the American Civil War and during the Reconstruction era, there was violence of whites against blacks throughout the South, as whites reacted to emancipation of blacks, subsequent black criminality, and political empowerment of freedmen.”
“Subsequent black criminality“ is not footnoted and should be sourced and clarified, or removed. This phrase might seem to suggest some natural predilection or propensity for criminality on the part of blacks, or that emancipation caused criminality (i.e., blacks had been “kept in line” by the institution of slavery), while ignoring historical facts such as the Black Codes (which defined criminality differently for blacks; cf. Wikipedia article), the proliferation of false accusations (at times resulting in lynchings; cf. Wikipedia article, “United States” section) as a means to terrorize and control blacks, etc. 
Please review. Thanks. 2600:1700:6EF0:7B90:9B6:7802:3ABB:A6C0 (talk) 17:56, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
