Black resistance to white bullshyt is deliberately hidden from the history books, and sadly tends to only be passed down orally among family or localized communities.
"Even though it's not technically the "Red Summer", one that thing that I would love to hear is the Tulsa Race Riot from the FBA/ADOS view point. I say that because in my research I notice that this shyt is like porn to the recessives (the authors of the books I've read) when you let them tell it. Then there is a clear dispute in who actually won the real race riot.
Pay close attention to what the black man says around the 10:10 minute mark.
So apparently there were three battles.
The first battle - At the courthouse is where they were about the lynch dikk Rowland, and a brigade of black men (ex WWI soldiers) from North Tulsa came to help protect dikk from the lynch mob. One little short old Devil tried to talk shyt, and degrade a black man by trying to seize his gun. When the gun went off in the struggle that little Devil died and the fight was on. In that scene despite being outnumbered there more whites that died than blacks.
The second battle - the blacks who went to the courthouse retreated to Greenwood past the border marked by the railroad tracks, where the battle pretty much stayed the entire night. That right there is a victory that is not told. The white lynch mob from the courthouse who wanted the smoke were getting blown out of their shoes trying to get into Greenwood, and had to retreat.
The third battle - After news broke of the recessives getting their asses beat the punk ass mayor of the town met with the other Klansman/ Oklahoma national guard who set up a 10,000 man army to assemble at border of the town. They cut off the roads, and attacked at around either 4 or 6 am when a train whistle blew. Now even with that army and the blacks themselves only being around 10,000 in population those Devils did not move an inch until the bytches started bombing from the air (which was a new war technique from the recent war, and had never been done to US citizens). Once that new war technique was implemented, the Devils went block by block terrorizing, looting and rounding up our people.
The ones who really fought back were burned alive at the expo center in Tulsa. They made all of the blacks live in tents for over a year."
On the Tulsa Race Riots, the story of Peg Leg Taylor who caught so many white bodies...that he had to load them in wagons and dump them in the river to avoid the post riot blow back on the POW's.

"Arriving at the courthouse, this group of armed blacks, numbering about seventy-five, was greeted by a white mob numbering in the thousands. The level of tension and hysteria was rapidly rising. Representatives of the black group were allowed to enter the fortified courthouse where Sheriff McCollough assured them no lynching would take place. Apparently assured by the Sheriff’s defensive preparations they left the building and were preparing to go back to Greenwood when the spark was lit.
According to the version heard by Robert Fairchild, the white approached a tall black veteran who was carrying an Army issue .45-caliber and said
, what are you doing with that pistol?”
“I’m going to use it if I need to,” came the reply.
“No, you will give it to me.”
The white man attempted to disarm the veteran and a shot was fired. Sheriff McCullough stated from that moment “the race war was on and I was powerless to stop it.” (7)
A prolonged gun fight broke out as the blacks withdrew toward Greenwood and Archer. Block by block the fighting continued into the wee hours of the morning. At one point the battle raged around the train station, which was held as a fortress by black defenders for an extended period of time. With the bodies of white attackers scattered through the streets, the blacks retreated into Greenwood. This overnight fighting is usually ignored or skimmed over in the stories of the Tulsa “riot.” Far from being helpless victims, Tulsa’s black population fought with brutal efficiency against the white invaders. It is not hard to imagine this defense was pre-planned, or at least theorized before the shots began firing. Regarding the “helpless victim,” mythology,
W.D. Williams has disputed this assumption, citing as evidence the large number of whites which he saw get shot by black snipers as they attempted to invade “Deep Greenwood.” The Oklahoma City ‘Black Dispatch’ of 10 June, 1921, reported it had received a letter from “a prominent Negro in the city of Tulsa” who stated that “from what he could learn on the ground, about one-hundred were killed, equally divided between the two races.” (8)
Scattered fighting occurred throughout the night as thousands of white men gathered at several points in the city. They exchanged and distributed ammunition among themselves and the word was passed on: they would attack at dawn. Some were too excited to wait and five men in an automobile tried spur the crowd to action in early morning darkness.
When the crowd did not budge the men tore off alone toward Deep Greenwood. A few hours later, when the attack finally came, their five bodies were found slumped inside their car, rifles still pointed out the windows, the bullet-riddled carcass of the Franklin smoking in the middle of Archer street. (9)
A large number of casualities among the white invaders is very much in line with what the ABB Tulsa post Commander wrote in “The Crusader”: the majority of black deaths were noncombatants, people who burned to death in their houses or the unarmed who were shot by the white mob. On the “front,” however (which is approximated by the train tracks at Greenwood and Archer), it was another dynamic entirely. The Commander wrote:
The defense of Greenwood may be overlooked in the history books, but it has entered black folklore. The story is told how “Peg-Leg” Taylor, another veteran of World War I, had spent the afternoon shoplifting ammunition from downtown hardware stores. Armed with a .30-30 rifle and a shotgun he had assumed tactical positions throughout the night -fighting, keeping the white combatants at bay while stores were looted for arms and ammunition by his comrades. As dawn broke and a whistle sounded, a mass of white attackers charged across the tracks into Greenwood. While the ABB snipers shot it out with the white mob around the church, Taylor held a defensive position on a hill, six blocks from First Street on the north side. “He shot round after round of bullets for six hours. He did so much damage that the whites figured the Negroes had reinforcements.” The story of Taylor is still well-known in north Tulsa, and completely forgotten in the rest of the city."
