(CNN) — The Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin warning that events associated with the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa race massacre could be targets for racial violence, according to a source familiar with the warning.

These events "probably are attractive targets for some racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist-white supremacists to commit violence," the bulletin issued Wednesday reads, according to the source. DHS did not respond to a request for comment.

Earlier this week, the White House announced that President Joe Biden will visit Tulsa, Oklahoma, next week in honor of the 100th anniversary of the massacre, in which hundreds of residents from the Greenwood District were killed and the neighborhood was left in ashes.

There are several other events next week to commemorate the lives lost during the massacre, according to local reports.

I doubt the people attending the commemorative events are going to be in the mood to put up with any crap from American Nazis. I'm afraid things could go sideways very quickly.
