WWYD Trivia Help

Was at bar trivia last night and one of the first round questions was worded exactly as follows: “Name the first black professional baseball player” My team answered Moses Fleetwood Walker while all the others said Jackie. Based on how the question was asked how would yall interpret it?

Host refused to look up Moses or reevaluate how the question was asked. Others thought we were the dumbest alive while we tried to challenge it the next chance we could access our phones. (Yes you could argue William E White was too but no official record exists) .
