    Now days, in the USA, it could only happen in the larger cities, regardless of what the issues were about.

    Black and white people doing things together?

    Or protests?

        Can’t speak as to every town, or hell, even the regularity of my own hometown, but when I was a young man (read: early 2010s), the K fucking KK decided they were going to show up for some reason or another at one of our historical buildings. I don’t even remember which one, they’re all clustered together. Anyway, the town went into an uproar about it on Facebook, organized a silent counterprotest. We all showed up there, deadly quiet except for the traffic backing up the tiny streets as everyone and their brother struggled to show up, and when the appointed time came, lo and behold! The KKK fuckers pussed out and didn’t even show up.

        So we spent the rest of the time having an impromptu grill instead, since it was a warm summer day.

        It was a nice moment in a town that wasn’t always all that functional.
