@buzzkill@diaspora-fr.org To remember. History must be remembered in order not to repeat its mistakes.

True, but this is an unusual incident to remind, especially separated from the rest of history, especially around it at that time or since.

We must remember - but what are remembering?

Honestly this photo is more indicative of Free Speech that everyone has a right to march in USA more than anything else. The KKK did before this, and they have since. It is really not reflective of anything else - and the Klu Klux Klan movement, which was near its peak in these photos (still not many comparing how many marched on Washington say with other leaders - even MLK or the Million Man March etc.), and the KKK peaked twice after Civil war and WWI (for reason), the KKK has long been beaten into the shadows in a broken shamed mess ever since. So what are you remembering? Which mistake to not repeat exactly? Free speech? Free speech is not a mistake. What are you trying to remember?

@buzzkill@diaspora-fr.org Unfortunately, for some reason your photos are not displayed, and the links are redirected to the main search engine https://www.startpage.com/.
What I meant was that we must not forget how some people oppress other people, in this case racially. No one has the right to oppress anyone, all people are equal, regardless of religion, color or gender.

Thanks for letting me know, I need to stop up my game on understanding how image links work (or don't)

The KKK has their damn parades around America as they wish, we do not stop them, so do the Nazis. We stop them in other ways.

Free speech must not be stopped.

As for racism USA, I think this is the reminder Americans need, or at least more, or one of the big ones.:

the Wilmington Massacre

I wish I had abetter bookmark but this is pretty good for what it is:

When white supremacists overthrew a government

https://youtube.com/watch?v=LVQomlXMeek

"The hidden history of an American coup.

In November 1898, in Wilmington, North Carolina, a mob of 2,000 white men expelled black and white political leaders, destroyed the property of the city’s black residents, and killed dozens--if not hundreds--of people. ? For decades, the story of this violence was buried, while the perpetrators were cast as heroes. "

the video explains it much better, but in brief:

" Wilmington’s Lie: The Murderous Coup of 1898 and the Rise of White Supremacy 27,249 views Streamed live on Feb 3, 2020 By the 1890s, Wilmington was North Carolina’s largest city and a shining example of a mixed-race community with a burgeoning African American middle class. In 1898, North Carolina’s white supremacist Democrats were plotting to take back the state legislature in November “by the ballot or bullet or both.” In Wilmington’s Lie, PulitzerPrize-winning journalist, David Zucchino tells the story of intimidation and violence, stuffed ballot boxes, and thousands of armed men who killed at least 60 black men in the streets. The rioters forced city officials to resign at gunpoint and replaced them with mob leaders.This brutal insurrection is a rare instance of a violent overthrow of an elected government in the U.S. It halted gains made by blacks and restored racism as official government policy.

@buzzkill@diaspora-fr.org Thank you for adding interesting historical facts to my post.
On this subject I liked the film "Django Unchained" (Tarantino is always excellent), where the atmosphere of the wild times of white supremacy and the struggle for the rights of blacks in the USA is well conveyed.
