Oh yeah. You should look into the 'constitutional sheriff' movement. They believe the sheriff is a higher authority than the federal government and have been electing their own into various regions.

And not that long ago a small (luckily incompetent) group tried to violently overthrow the government of West Virginia.

What slowed it down the most was the intentional breakdown of the family by the interjection of welfare and feminism into the black communities.

@bro9650 I do agree with jim crow being the other main issue but the interjection of welfare and feminism is what kept the black communities to slide backwards.

​ @Faithless Hound yep, almost every nation has some version of this. Japanese people don't properly learn about WW2 until either high school or college level depending on their high school textbooks, at least partly because a Japanese right-wing group is trying to push revisionism through some of those textbooks. This, combined with tensions with North Korea spilling over as racial tensions against Koreans in general, makes it very tough for South Korea and Japan to get along despite their cultural similarities and what they stand to gain from unity. This also harms relations to some degree with Taiwan, as while the hatred isn't quite as strong, there's uneasiness with the idea of Japan having military independence from the United States. To be fair, the Chinese and North Korean governments would NOT be okay with South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan getting along and likely do what they can to interfere, as they all have extremely developed economies and strong military drives: South Korea has a relatively nationalistic populace (I'd know, my mom is one and can be a bit fanatical) and mandatory military service to deal with North Korea, Taiwan has the ever-present threat and influence of China to keep them alert, and so much of ancient Japanese culture revolves around the military, whether it be Shogunates, the samurai subculture, or even Western-style colonialism in the 1800's that it'd be all too easy for a party to make a historical push. If they all got along as economic and, most importantly, *military* allies, that could be an Asian NATO, and that'd be real bad for China and North Korea.

So you support things that you believe would improve it like trade unionism or economic welfare, you start speaking your mind at community gatherings, your neighbors agree with you, they then do things to influence the government like protests, rallies, and election of friendly officials, you experience some push back by opponents of your ideas so you maintain the group to protect policies influenced by your ideas.

@Nayla Milley yes who is still crying out and not moving forward. The confederacy lost, let it go, stop holding onto the past. The hypocrisy you spew from one sentence to the next is astounding.

[@avidreader8521]

@Nayla Milley Nobody learns history from statues; they learn from documentation and things based on that documentation (books, documentaries, etc). And reckoning with the reality of the past and its effect on people - rather than trying to ignore and suppress it - IS moving forward. We have to know where we've been and how to got here to recognize and constructively deal with problems, so as to make life better for everyone now and in the future.

Sad I gotta learn this on KZbin instead of school

[@MrBabima]

I wish someone would make movie out of this event so that everyone would know about it

[@billiondollarbaby973]

babs they did. It was just about another town called Rosewood!

[@brentbettis8663]

Sounds like a good project for Spike Lee...

5:19 that poor guy's face of shame when he says ''enthusiastically''.

[@iskender1327]

They’re right about the textbook thing, my history textbook glossed over the Armenian genocide when I went to school in Turkey.

[@petyrbaelish2000]

Did they mention anything about the Greek or Assyrian genocides that occurred during the same periods? (Just curious, no irony)

[@souvikrc4499]

petros baliouskas I highly doubt it

[@sajjadsaj66]

It's like that everywhere. No country would ever go in detail about their dark past in their history books. In the UK they will never teach their children about colonialism with the scale of cruelty it was done. The US would never talk about the genocide and slavery of the natives either.

[@QdsWhhj]

Sajjad 1998 they do but that’s all they talk about, they don’t mention the previous 1500 years of everybody else doing the same thing the west is like a guy who walks in after somebody farts in a room and gets blamed for everything.

[@kcbh24]

@Fast Internet no, they didn't.

[@tannay1117]

"Unfortunate for both races" sounds eerily familiar today.

[@partyof2539]

Right. Sounded just like there were "bad people on both sides" after Charlottesville. That's what I thought of when I heard it.

[@thugnificent863]

indeed.

[@partyof2539]

@@churblefurbles what do you mean hoax?

[@partyof2539]

Hoax means staged, phoney, and you're telling me I didn't see all those tiki torch folks, and I also didnt see DT on TV say good and bad on both sides...like seriously??

[@georgeb.wolffsohn30]

Like . . . . Many good people on both sides ? Can't quite recall who said that. Maybe someone else can.

Ochoa Bey you’re so clever

[@thatsnodildo1974]

Not really.

[@usvcrescuecrew9563]

Then you regretfully Lac and education on the advancement of modern society

[@BigDDan]

The N&O is still run by Democrats and some of the most racist white people I know in NC are democrat 🤷‍♂️ you're right

[@Lyvee93]

Lol if you read most of these comments... racism is very much alive today but with BLACKS HATING WHITES more than it is whites hating blacks. We aren’t ALL WHITE SUPRIMACISTS OR RACIST because of the skin color we were born with!!! 🙄
