History is repeating itself now because of the changing demographics in this country. Ultra white conservatives are setting up sandbags to consolidate their raw power in the red states. Whites will be the new majority -minority population by 2043. Metro areas in the South (mostly minorities) are becoming increasingly powerful. However, red states are taking over local authority. Red states want to replace the feds authority in managing civil rights, etc.. Remnants of the old Confederacy are alive and well (states rights). That old script led to the 1st American Civil War. Are we approaching that point again with the very deep division in this country? Over 400 million firearms are out there.
Lets not forget which party was the Confederacy in the 1st civil war. If history does repeat itself, which I hope it does not, I suspect the party that will be fighting for slavery again will be the same one--just different masters this time around--if the way modern party ideologies relating to liberty reveals anything.
The Portuguese started the race to the new world with free African labor followed by 8 other European countries which pretty much started capitalism on steroids. Blacks weren't part of the race. They were the boot and loot. West African kings/leaders built wealth and power on the sale of Africans to the Europeans. In fact, they resisted the outlawing of the transatlantic slave trade during the early 1800s imposed by Britain and the U.S. Although slavery in America was still legal until the end of the Civil War. In early America, White Europeans were issued 2 billion acres of free Indian land. After finishing their 7-year contracts, white indentured servants were issued 640 acres of land and more based on the number of slaves they owned. The first Constitution is the White affirmative action/headstart program. The founding fathers first issued themselves thousands of acres of free Indian land before completing the writing of the Constitution. Insofar as the Black slave question, they met in secret with guards posted at all entrances and windows. The Constitution was written in broad and ambiguous language to camouflage the Black slave issue --- pursuit of happiness! Blacks were codified as 3/5 of a person. After the end of slavery, freed Black slaves left their plantations with no animals, no food, no tools, no money or firearms to protect themselves. Many were forced to return to the plantations as exploited share croppers, burying themselves deeply into debt at the land owners' stores. At that time, people could be thrown into jail for not paying their debts. The convict lease program was implemented to create free Black labor for White enterprises and the government. There was also the racist system of peonage. Blacks were literally kidnapped off the streets due to Black codes, i.e., vagrancy, being unemployed, preaching without permission, etc. The Freedman Bureau (financial aid) and reconstruction was set up by the radical Republicans to give assistance to freed slaves. These programs were very beneficial. However, the North withdrew union troops occupying the South which gave freed Blacks protection. The Freedman Bureau was eventually dissolved with the funds being transferred to southern land owners. The South began implementing brutal Jim Crow laws and policies, negatively affecting Blacks socio-economically and politically. The Supreme Court Decision, Plessy vs. Ferguson, legally enabled separate but equal policies. However, Blacks didn't really receive the same resources (i.e, school finance) or equal justice as whites. Jim Crow (semi-slavery) lasted for 100 years through the 1960s until the passage of the civil rights laws. Whites have mal-distributed wealth to themselves for the past 500 years based on slavery, Jim Crow, and ongoing structural racism. Blacks are 250 years behind economically due bring precluded from fully participating in American capitalism. Blacks only own and control 2% of the wealth in this country, which hasn't changed since the eve of the Civil War. Racism isn't about getting along. It's an economic relationship between groups of people competing for ownership and control of resources for wealth and power. Blacks need to develop their own economic infrastructure like other minority groups, i.e., Asians, Jews, Hispanics, and Arabs. Social integration damaged Black folks. Social integration isn't measurable; it can't be deposited into the bank. Blacks are increasingly losing the race with other minority competitors. The Koreans own and control the one billion dollar Black hair products industry --- manufacturing, distribution, and retail. Do Blacks own and control Korean restaurants or nail saloons? The Arabs, a much smaller minority group, owns and controls 98% of the gasoline stations and other small businesses in predominantly Black Detroit and throughout the country. Asians exchange money in their communities 10 to 15x more than Blacks in their communities before it leave. Blacks: Zero! If you ever get a chance, watch the YouTube video made in the 50s, "How to sell to the Negro." Nothing hasn't changed. Massa Biden got Black folks without any demands for real tangibles. Black folks d get another worthless symbolic gesture like Juneteenth. The old Black lady finally got her recognition and a pen from massa Biden. And the Asians got the final laugh. --- they're in the process of manufacturing Juneteenth products for 2022 Black celebrations. Snooze button back on. --- Joe Biden got elected. During a post election meeting with Black civil rights leaders in Atlanta, he related the Whites must pay more attention to Hispanics. For those of you Black folks who think you're in a comfortable coalition with Hispanics, you're fooling yourselves. *** [In his book, " Presumed Alliance: The Unspoken Conflict Between Blacks and Latinos and What It Means for America," the author, Nicolas C. Vaca, disdained a rainbow coalition and presumed alliance with Black Americans...they wanted to compete with Blacks for political and economic power...they felt that by the mere fact that they were more socially acceptable than Blacks in American society...they could gain socioeconomic benefits and become the nation's majority-minority population. Their goal, according to Vaca, was to displace Blacks in every way possible --- Dr. Claud Anderson, "A Black History Reader."
History may be repeating itself, but not how you're describing it here. One side is hostile to free speech, one side is using federal agencies to target political opponents, and one side is using the public education system as indoctrination camps to teach kids to hate each other. Amazing as it must be, it's not the red people doing that. I agree that there is division and the side that has most of the guns and knows how to use them is the one being targeted. That's not very sound strategy. Blue states, meanwhile, are devolving into chaos as criminals go unpunished, ironically victimizing the very minority communities these lenient prosecutors claim to champion.
That is why we need Reparations now! Mandated by the Fed to redistribute White money to blacks. The Democrats are in the best position now to execute a federal reparations program by taking 50% (aka “half”) of the money and land that every White over the age of 18 has and then giving it to a black person. Priority land will be given in order of suffering (eg black Trans, black Gay, black Woman, etc) until Equity with Whites and Asians has been met. We want Equity via Reparations Now!

Blacks have adversaries on all flanks.

This will end well
