More ALT-RIGHT rallies ahead as well as more Confederate Statues/Monuments debates. Civil War #2 too?

It seems the Civil War never ended. It just went underground, under white sheets where it stayed for many decades.  But it's back and noisier than it was and the noise seems to be getting louder. White sheets are gone back to being used on beds. Ear plugs will help in the short term. Is there any help for the long term or will it once again be family against family and friend against friend and maybe this time the Confederacy will win? Once was not enough apparently. Try it on again for size and see. Maybe the fit is better now. The weapons are better now than they were then. Advantage to the present iteration of past generations. We will never learn. So we are doomed to keep repeating our history. :(

    What was done in past wars was not done after the U.S Civil War. No arrests and no trials for war crimes. The Confederates were simply allowed to go home and go "underground". A military mistake.

    Really?

    Can you list the "war criminals" that were arrested and tried after wars like World War 1, The Spanish American War, The Border War, the Korean "Conflict", Vietnam?

    Well then by all means list a few. Otherwise I call BS on your "yes" reply.

    So how deep and wide and high and low is this racist divide gonna go before all HE** breaks loose O? It has been enabled and unleashed. The toothpaste it out of the tube. We will  never get it back in. Can we stamp it out before it grows bigger or did that horse already leave the barn..that ship sailed...it's already too late to matter?  Thank you for your reply! :( Woe is us .

    I have a partial solution -------- make a law that forbids the sale of white bed sheets. Can you imagine a Kluxer in a pink bedsheet?

    No wait!

    You can't do that. Forcing prisoners to wear pink jumpsuits is one of the things that got Sheriff Joe into major trouble in Arizona.

    Interesting you should mention that. Racist ex-sheriff Arpaio forced the people he dominated to wear pink clothes. Briefs, shirts, whatever. Nice guy ain't he? Is he another hero to you like Trump is?

    I didn't know about the pink jail garb. I guess it is for easier identification of escapees. I have seen news briefs on the sheriff. He defied some federal law concerning illegal aliens. I don't have much use for ILLEGAL aliens. AN ILLEGAL alien from Mexico KILLED 3 people in my home town including an off duty policeman.
