A civil war involving blacks and whites would be pure terror in the South. With a little quick work of gun-running in say, the Delta, revolutionaries could have thousands upon thousands of people armed very quickly and headed off to sack the nearest concentration of white people. Black populations are already concentrated in urban areas, so it would be an easy matter to seize control of cities. I would expect plenty of white leftists to join a mass black rising and help move it along with their goals. Resistance would be heavy, though, considering most rural whites in the South are fairly well armed, and as soon as a 'revolt' broke out you could expect brutal acts from the white population as well. Heck, whites might trigger violence if reperations are shoved on us- and from there violence would likely escalate. Throw in a military which would likely be forcedto be 'impartial' and you have a simply lovely bit of business.

?! The word Prozac comes to mind here.

I presume by your screen handle you are modeling yourself on General Cleburne? Did you know that he favored the acceptance of Blacks into the Confederate ranks in return for their freedom?

Not trying to piss you off, but I'm a little confused by your post.....

...so it would be an easy matter to seize control of cities.

According to relatively recent scare, er, informational advertising pushing stocks of survival rations, the
typical grocery store's inventory is turned over every three days.

Now that presents a problem for them, not to mention electricity, which means water, sewage, medicine,
refrigeration, and other infrastructure problems.

After listening to the grammar, logic, and reasoning of a few of the ranters, I mean speakers, I very much doubt
that they could pull off anything for more than a week before nature and reality exert themselves.

That is what I envisioned, too, for a moment, including,

plenty of white leftists to join a mass black rising and help move it along with their goals.

--- if not in an even more extreme form: that struggle may be started by and proceed almost entirely between whites --- like the last one.
