JULY 29TH BAYBEE

For anyone outside of this space, the uh, the age '102' is an inside joke. Yeah. 100%.

Obligatory pinned post

Helloo I’m not good at introductions but I primarily upload UT/DR and Mouseverse related art on here (with the occasional other thing, like Bust a Groove). I also have a bunch of ideas I abandon and never finish, so sorry about that

You may be liable to getting jumpscared by OC x canon. And cringe

I have somehow attached myself to Julius the Cat. I love that 1920s cat who is unapologetically awful and I’ll never understand why I gravitated towards him

Also he/him

The Tulsa Race Massacre – also known as the Black Wall Street Massacre and the Tulsa Race Riot – was one of the most horrendous incidents of racial violence in United States history. On May 31 – June 1, 1921, hundreds of people were injured and killed, and thirty-five blocks of the city were destroyed, along with over 1,200 homes.

While relatively few whites exhibited empathy and compassion to the persecuted African American community of Tulsa – largely due to the influence of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) and others – many Jewish families made efforts to help African American families by taking them into their homes or businesses, feeding and clothing them, as well as hiding them during and after the atrocity.

During the time of the Race Massacre, a number of the Jewish families went into North Tulsa to secure their black employees, friends, and their families, in order to protect them at least until Martial Law was over on June 3rd… some even longer.

Many of the Jews in the city were recent immigrants from Eastern Europe who remembered firsthand suffering through violent pogroms and anti-Semitic policies in the Russian Empire and elsewhere.

Here are a few family stories from that terrible time that have been passed down within the Oklahoma Jewish community.

Pickle vats and underskirts

Jewish Latvian immigrant Sam Zarrow (1894-1975) and his wife Rose (1893-1982) owned a grocery store and hid some black friends in their large pickle vats at the store, while Rose concealed some of the little kids under her skirt! In addition, they hid others in the basement of their home. Sam and Rose’s sons, Henry (1916-2014) and Jack Zarrow (1925-2012) became two of the most well-known and philanthropic men in Tulsa’s history, supporting a range of causes across the city.

Waiting with a shotgun

Tulsan Abraham (Abe) Solomon Viner (1885-1959) and his wife Anna (1887-1976) owned the Peoples Building and Loan Association. On the day of the Massacre, Abe went to all of the homes on his block, collected all of the maids from their quarters and assembled them in his living room. He then sat by the front door with a shotgun in case anyone broke into the house.

Threatening the Klan

The Race Massacre had a far-reaching effect even outside of Tulsa. At the time, Mike Froug (1889-1959), his wife Esther (1889-1967) and daughter Rosetta Froug Mulmed (1914-2003) were living in Ponca City, Oklahoma running a clothing store called the Pickens Department Store. Immediately after the Massacre, several Ku Klux Klan members came to his house at night and set a cross on fire on his front lawn.

Knowing who the perpetrators were (frequent shoppers in his store), Froug went to the head of the Klan with his gun and told him that if they ever did that again, he would shoot them. This act had such a profound effect on Froug that when he and his cousin Ohren Smulian (1903-1984) opened the first Froug’s Department Store in Tulsa in 1929, they became the first store in the city after the Massacre to allow whites and blacks to not only shop together but to try on clothes at the same time. In fact, Frougs was also the first white-owned store in Tulsa to have black salespeople.

Jewish Lithuanian immigrant and oilman Nathan C. Livingston (1861-1944) and his wife Anna Livingston (1871-1934) had a newly married black couple named Gene and Willie Byrd working for them in 1921. Gene was the family driver while Willie was their housekeeper. During the Race Massacre, the couple and eight others of their family stayed in the Livingston’s basement and in their garage apartment for several days until they felt safe to go home. The following year, N.C. Livingston’s son Julius received a letter from the KKK telling him and his brothers Jay K. and Herman to “get your Jew crew out of Tulsa.”

Staying home

During the Massacre, Jewish Lithuanian immigrant and oil producer Jacob Hyman Bloch (1888-1955) and his wife Esther Goodman Bloch (1895-1927) told their two young daughters, Jean and Sura, to stay away from the windows and no to go to school or outside to play, while hiding their housekeeper in their home.

Driving to safety

Jewish Latvian immigrant Jacob Fell (1885-1959) and his wife Esther Fell (1886-1980) owned The Mis-Fit Clothing Store in Tulsa. During the race riots, Jacob gathered up several black friends, hid them in his large storage car trunk, and drove them to a safe area.

“But not you Mr. Katz”

In Stillwater, Oklahoma the Ku Klux Klan also had a robust chapter. German immigrant Jacob Katz (1873-1968) started his department store in Stillwater in 1894, becoming the first Jew in the town. Katz was a highly respected merchant and town promoter and was on the Stillwater Board of Commissioners. During the heyday of the KKK, right after the Tulsa Massacre, members marched through Stillwater with anti-Jewish signs (there were only 12 Jews in Stillwater at the time!), along with one that read at the end of the line: “But not you Mr. Katz.”

"What? They don't greet others with buzzers anymore? O, how the times have changed..."

New to this whole operation, please bare with me :') an RP/Ask/Shitpost blog for Julius Katz, my take on the 1920's cat in a more villainous role. Might not be entirely fleshed out yet, and a lot of this Katz is based on both headcanons I have for him and Julius in general.

Somehow a married man with an adopted son, he’s decided to distance himself from them as of late for their sake. Currently living over with his cousin Flip since his place is nearest to his job, which he totally doesn't use as a front for anything, and has never really gotten the opportunity to grow past his 1922 roots. Tends to break the 4th wall a little too often.

May sway into somewhat paranormal routes from time to time.

[ Fine with OCs/Crossovers. ]

Rules

No NSFW/ERP.

No excessive violence or cursing. (The latter's fine in small and censored portions, of course. You're also allowed to touch on darker topics, as the blog itself sometimes touches on them. It doesn’t go overboard, however.)

Honestly, other than that just use common sense and we'll be fine. Don't bring bigotry, IRL drama and stuff of the like into this, this is a silly cartoon cat.

(Main: @neboru )

I also reblog Julius art here.

Pride

[comedicat]

I just realised something ultra super important is coming up next month… ;)

[comedicat]

Julius HC of the undesignated time: Unlike other toons, for some reason he goes off of actual real life creation dates for ages, and thinks others do too. Whenever he says he just hit triple digits last year he doesn’t know why they act surprised.

[comedicat]

Curious, and no pressure to answer, but would you be so kind as to explain your family tree?

Hi there, anon! I’ll be honest, I don’t quite get the weird species differences in my family tree either. I mean, you got three mammals, and then an amphibian of sorts? Not to mention all the extended family members on each side… I guess I’ll go find some stuff and then attempt to make it as short and simple as possible. Before I go, I can say that our sibling roster consists of me, Flip (who I’m pretty sure is a half brother… Wait, am I one too?), Mick, Ozzy n’ Felicity. Don’t talk to them much. Ooh, there’s also James n’ Janie <3 AAND little Oscar, of course. That’s not even counting all the spouses and kids they have. This, uh, might take longer than I thought.

There’s also Alice! Alice isn’t related to me biologically or legally. I just like to have her there. :) Ooh I should tell you guys about the time- Oh wait off topic oops

…

Unfortunate Edit:

I could not make it short and simple. The list gets longer each second I search. Sorry, anon. I hath failed thee… Maybe I’ll… Write it down in some information masterpost later? Or not. I have a short attention span.

[comedicat]

Well, if it ain’t a new customer! Sorry for the delay, and uh… Lack of furnishing. We’re in the middle of a clearout.

We’re happy to have ya here! Well, I, my business partner is busy with the aforementioned stuff. So you’ve just got me. Lucky you.
