That we can agree on. As soon as the north won there was no more racism and it was a utopian paradise for all. Yeah right. Illinois still has Sunset Laws on it's books. The north's claims are a little tarnished when one presents some of the many facts of reality. Tell me about all that racial harmony in Detroit. By the way son, loving the South is bread in me and means hatred of none. Except for little pukes cow-towing to a imperialistic, centralized government that has lost it's purpose and is ever becoming a banana republic. See you on the other side. < Message edited by Missouri_Rebel -- 3/1/2007 1:55:18 AM > _____________________________ God Save The South For every flag that comes down, 10,000 go up! Deo Vindice!! Ohhh, I didn't see this. Well sonny boy, there will never be racial harmony in the world nor any other perfect utopian paradise because of people with your attitude. BTW, I was in Detroit during the 1967 Riots, and Civil Rights was the underlying cause but there were few racial incidents and the riots did not start over a racial incident, and once they started both white and blacxck people looted, even in mixed gangs. It was a very sad mess. At that time the Vietnam War wa in full swing and that had a lot to do with the situation as a lot of people from here were in the miltary back then, michigan had the 7th highest number of dead in the Vietnam War, the Korean War, and WWII. West Virginia had the highest per capita death toll of any State in our Union. Yeah, the riots were actually termed 'an armed insurrection against the Government of the Unied States', so that shoulld make you happy as you seem very anti-US Government. There were political radicals enteriing the City of Detroit from other areas, and along with the political radicals from within the city, organized sniping occurred, and there were some heavy duty gun fights, automatic weapons fire going both ways, M-60's being used form choppers, tanks firing, and about 50 tanks were moved into the city, along with M113 APCs, armored cars, thousands of State and local Police, about 8,000 or more MAGs (National Guard), and 7 Bns. of Airborne troops from 2 Brigades of the 82nd AB and 101st AB/AM Divisions, and all were Federallized and Martial law was indeed declared. So yes, it was a mess, and very sad to have occurred and witnessed. There will probably always be religous, political and racial etc. intolerance in our world, so it unfortunately seems. So, go fight the war all over agian with yourself. Have a good day, Chris
