“Killers of the Flower Moon” is directed by Academy Award winner Martin Scorsese from a screenplay by Eric Roth and Martin Scorsese, based on David Grann’s best-selling book.
- Tulsa Race Massacre (1921): White racist mobs, aided by the US military, murdered affluent and educated Blacks and destroyed their prosperous city ("Black Wall Street").
- White soldiers in the military barrel bombed a civilian center called the Greenwood District, Tulsa in the United States. These unbelievably RACIST events took place in Oklahoma not far from these horrific events of racist violence, jealousy, and betrayal portrayed in this movie.
- It's one thing to steal but to murder the rightful owners then blame them for their modern poverty and backward behavior? Whites created these racial disparities out of envy.
- Racism isn't the cause of anything in the US, or we rarely hear facts that disagree with the spin?
- Today white Americans spin events in Israel to justify mass murder by settler colonialists.

One of her relatives was shot. Another was poisoned. And it was just the beginning, as more and more Osage were dying under mysterious circumstances, and many of those who dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered.
As the death toll rose, the newly created FBI took up the case, and the racist young FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to try to unravel the mystery.
White put together an undercover team, including a Native American agent who infiltrated the region, and together with the Osage began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history.
