I thought this question last night and ran across this video:
It really feels like if we're not in one we're headed towards one (us vs police brutality).
I'll say more when I get all my thoughts together lol
ETA: Okay I don't feel like saying a whole bunch lol, but I'd say more of second Civil Rights Movement than a second civil war. I really don't think we would really go into a second civil war unless tensions were just terribly high on a very consistent basis, over the course of years. The protests and in some cases riots this past week have been very extreme in some cases, but the people would never be able to stand against a police force in riot gear, especially for a full war. I don't think (at least hope) anyone would really put their lives on the line like that. It would take a while to get there. But this second Civil Rights Movement, I feel, is a very good thing. People are really waking up to something we've been dealing with for centuries. I know some of the whites out there are faking it, but a lot of them are really more sympathetic this time. I do feel that it's because of more interracial marriages and relationships and more people see that it could be their kid or their cousin or nephew/niece too. I'm interested to see all that unfolds during and what comes out of this new era and revolution in America, which as always, is led by the people.
