  I'm not easily chocked by the race wars in the US these days but I hadn't heard about this incident before and I can hardly believe what I'm reading. Good god.

      The main reason many people haven't heard of it is that it was scrubbed (whitewashed, you could say) from recorded history for nearly a century.
