A century and a half after slavery was abolished in the U.S., the wounds left by one of the darkest periods in American history are far from healed, as evidenced by the controversy surrounding the recent announcement of HBO’s upcoming drama series Confederate, from Game Of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, which explores an alternate timeline of seceded southern states where slavery is legal and has evolved into a modern institution.
It envisions an alternate history where newly freed African Americans have secured the Southern states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama post-Reconstruction as reparations for slavery, and with that land, the freedom to shape their own destiny. The sovereign nation they formed, New Colonia, has had a tumultuous and sometimes violent relationship with its looming “Big Neighbor,” both ally and foe, the United States. The past 150 years have been witness to military incursions, assassinations, regime change, coups, etc. Today, after two decades of peace with the U.S. and unprecedented growth, an ascendant New Colonia joins the ranks of major industrialized nations on the world stage as America slides into rapid decline. Inexorably tied together, the fate of two nations, indivisible, hangs in the balance.

Amazon and Netflix and HBO have an opportunity to bring back good shows like we have seen in the past decades. They blow it by sticking a finger in the eye of America with their sick transgender and slavery shows and shows with extreme violence along with swearing all the time along with the bed hopping and blaming normal people for the troubles of America.
You can bet the slavery shows will blame republicans and not the democrats who to this day enslave blacks.
Glad that we’re engaging in this discussion... Maybe we’ll both benefit from it.
The examples you give are case of countries at war against each other, not of coexistence within a single country, which is what I was referring to in the case of blacks and whites coexisting with each other within the same borders.
Wars have taken place between countries and tribes for as long as man has existed. The fact that europeans have been much better at killing each other is due to their more advanced technology producing better weapons, though the hutus and tutsies did a pretty good job of massacring each other even with their more primitive weapons.
And if the point that you’re trying to make is that european countries also couldn’t peacefully coexist with each other even though they’re of the same race, I concur.
What that highlights is that there other conditions beside racial differences that can lead to non-peaceful coexistence.
1. strong differences in ideology
2. coveting of other’s possessions
3. ...
But, that there’s more than just racial differences that results in non-peaceful coexistence doesn’t negate the fact that racial differences also does.
Yes, race is not the only factor that can destroy peaceful harmony. In fact an even greater threat to civil harmony is when a country’s culture is fragmented into two or more diametrically opposed world views. We’re seeing that today in our country between conservatives and liberals. This split is causing tremendous strain in the country and if the split widens we could even see a civil war between the left and the right. The cold war was a good example of that, so was the spanish civil war.
This was also the case in the war with the nazis. Their ideology was totally antagonistic and a threat to ours plus they had territorial ambitions, so the clash was inevitable.
And they were a threat not just to white americans but to all americans, in fact even a bigger threat to the blacks, so it’s not surprising at all that both blacks and white fought their common enemy side by side.
So, yes, there’s more than racial differences that can cause discord, but that doesn’t negate the fact that race also does.
And it’s not the difference in the color of the skins that causes discord, but something much deeper and more consequential.
In the context of this idea, let’s create a show where after blacks were freed they were all sent back to Africa first class. And what life is like in America today.
Or Rhodesia.
Probably more fake Jews, AKA Atheist, Communist, Democrat, Freedom haters. It's usually them. So tired of it.
Fake news created by fake Jews.
Fake money created by fake Jews (Federal Reserve bank) Volcker, Bernanke, Yellen, etc.
Fake, or distorted history created by same. Fake Jews.
All the so-called Jews I know are really Atheist, Karl Marx worshiping, progressives.
'multi-racial' - That is a highly debatable statement. The demographics of the US in both 1920 & 1940 were overwhelmingly white, about 88+%. The military had the same or even moreso. In addition, at that time anyway, most blacks were not in or allowed in fighting units.
Don’t forget that Jefferson Davis had a hand in the war also.
