Walsh Alleges Tulsa Race Massacre Began When Black Militia Opened Fire First

What was said

"This standoff ends up turning pretty deadly, with black people actually attacking first, opening fire on whites after they claim a white guy tried to disarm one of the armed black guys. The result was 12 people dead, 10 of whom were white and 2 were black. Total chaos erupts, over 24 hours up to 300 people die, most of whom are Black."

The host presented an alternative narrative of the 1921 Tulsa incident, claiming a Black armed militia initiated violence by opening fire outside a courthouse where Dick Rowland was held for allegedly assaulting a white girl. According to Walsh, this precipitated white retaliation that escalated into widespread destruction of the Greenwood district. He argues this context is systematically omitted from educational materials and popular depictions like HBO's Watchmen to maintain an anti-white narrative framework.
