Civil Rights Organizer Admits Protesters Armed with Rocks Knives and Guns
"The students, heeding Bevel's call for nonviolence, pointed at the adults who had rocks, knives, and guns. They identified the people who were throwing things, most likely rocks, at police officers."
About this episode
Matt Walsh launched a controversial Daily Wire documentary series titled 'The Real History of the Civil Rights Movement,' arguing that the movement represents 'the largest and deadliest con job ever perpetrated against the American population' with consequences comparable to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. The episode systematically attacks the standard historical narrative of the civil rights era, claiming that supposedly peaceful protests were actually violent riots, that organizers deliberately used children as propaganda bait, and that armed demonstrators attacked police with rocks, knives, and guns. Walsh used NBC News' recent description of the 2020 Kenosha riots as a 'civil rights rally' to argue that if media can falsify recent history caught on camera, they certainly falsified 1960s events. He exposed Tennessee Representative Justin Pearson's code-switching between standard English at his elite college and a street accent in politics, comparing this to Martin Luther King Jr.'s preaching style which Walsh called fake and ridiculous. The episode also covered the Supreme Court's recent ruling ending race-based congressional redistricting, which Walsh framed as eliminating an unconstitutional Democrat advantage of at least 12 House seats through majority-Black districts. He cited violent left-wing responses including social media posts with millions of views calling for genocide of white Southerners and Confederates. Walsh argued Democrats attempted an illegal power grab in Virginia to change districting, revealed serious plans to pack state courts, and claimed the entire civil rights movement was fundamentally about anti-white violence rather than equality. The episode promoted Walsh's two-part documentary examining Martin Luther King Jr.'s biography and the consequences of the civil rights movement.
