296:"Begin" and "bombings" isn't a real happy combination either. One more thing: this is Alabama. The involvement of federalistas is a HUGE thing, still (we're kind of moronic that way), and that would make for a catchier and more appropriate hook than the rather neutral "military operation". So let me put all that together:

Please do whatever you want with the hook, Drmies (although I'm sad we may have missed the window for a "50 year" date). I use "Black" and "White" these days because (a) it distinguishes the terms from the colors black and white, making clear that they are used as euphemisms for brown and pink, and

I added two (mandatory) commas to the hook. But, I have to say, I don't like the diction in the hook. Crises can't really escalate--better to say something like
