Black Wall Street was built back relatively quickly after the race riot and so too were many of the other black communities where are these riots took place. There were two reasons for this that the Communists would come to understand by the 1930s. The first is that you have to remember that Booker T. Washington, 1856-1915, only died the decade before many of these race riots took place, and so the entrepreneurial spirit was still alive and well in many of the black communities.
The Communists were Masters at covertly creating disasters in order to cause discontent they did this for example by bombing their own houses and bombing black churches and then crying white supremacy.
