Chapter 642 is still a class issue
"What do they want to do? I really thought that slavery had only been over for fifty years and it would be gone forever." Listening to the roar in the microphone, Sheffield couldn't help but hide away a little, and then pulled the microphone back after it calmed down.
The news that made little Morgan roar was nothing more than Das Kapital at the headquarters of the National Association for Colored People, the Internationale, and the plan of the black political party that had been systematically and premeditatedly eliminated. It was learned by some powerful and well-informed people.
.
Among these powerful and well-informed monopoly capitalists, there was a banker with a bad temper who just happened to make a phone call to him, the slave owner. He even thought that the phone call was not enough and made an appointment for an interview.
"Okay, you can talk at any time if you want." Sheffield smiled with a cold light in his eyes. Sure enough, the racial issue will not make little Morgan lose his temper. If he wants a tycoon of Morgan's level to take it seriously,
There is still a class issue.
According to the news from the New York Police Department, all the leaders of the National Association for Colored People, including Du Bois, are now detained in the New York Police Department. These top figures are so lucky that not one of them even clashed in the streets.
Deaths were lost among them. As expected, there are superior and inferior organizations in every organization.
Sheffield swore that this was the first time he had seen a banker and an oil king like this. Judging from their faces alone, they were already in very bad condition, especially little Rockefeller, who had completely lost his usual politeness and eyesight.
He also became fierce. As for little Morgan, he never appeared like this at the funeral of old Morgan.
"Oh, two friends, you know that New York has been very chaotic recently. I didn't want to come. I was even planning to make an airship and go back." Sheffield sighed leisurely, "My hometown is better, at least it's very peaceful now.
."
"Indeed, I haven't heard of anything happening in the south. What did you do?" Little Morgan's heart moved, and he recalled it, and it seemed that he really hadn't heard of anything happening in the south.
Pulling up a chair and sitting down, Sheffield said calmly, "This issue is more complicated. I'll talk about it slowly. Each state in the South has its own separate but equal laws, and each state's laws are slightly different. Some
In the state public tram system, black people were not allowed to get on the bus. On some buses, black people could only get on and off from the back, and were not allowed to look directly at white women. Black people were not allowed to go on the streets after six o'clock in the evening, etc. In fact, most states were segregated but equal.
Segregation is done well, but equality is done poorly.”
"We are slightly different in Texas. Ninety percent of the black people there are the original labor force of our family. Segregation is also strictly segregated, but equality is also very strict. There are almost no black people in our country engaged in agricultural production.
jobs, of course because of the reason slavery existed."
"But black people in Texas don't have this problem. They take good care of some of our land. The land we live in is also the output of the farm, and schools, churches, hospitals, etc. have been built. From a public opinion perspective, Texas
Sri Lankan citizens also accept these black people. What these black people hate most is not white people, but black people in other places. The United Company has black factories, and the black gold company has black armed forces. They are treated equally, and the blacks can get as much as the whites take. This is true.
One prerequisite is that you must be obedient!”
The slave owners were definitely not lying when they said that black people were unwilling to engage in agricultural production. It can be said that except for black people who wanted to fill their stomachs, the entire black group broke away from the agricultural field after the Civil War.
Sheffield believes that this kind of consequence is equivalent to the loss of a tree's roots. It is too easy to sweep away the boundless water. A hundred years later, black people will not have a foundation in the United States, and there will be huge agricultural production without black people.
reason.
Young Morgan kept listening to Sheffield's words, looked at each other with Rockefeller, shook his head slightly and said, "It can't be done. Especially what you are doing in Texas is almost impossible to achieve nationwide."
"I know!" Sheffield nodded, and I won't go into the underlying reasons. The white people definitely don't want to see the black people really taking root on this land. It just comes from the memory of slavery, and the black people don't want to engage in agricultural production.
, this is simply something white people would like to see happen.
This is what makes Texan blacks different from blacks elsewhere. From the moment they followed the Union Army against the federal government, except for skin color, Texan blacks have been completely different from other blacks.
Other black people work for pay and drink and hang out. The black people in Texas work, trade harvesters, and save money for their children to go to school. Waiting for the call of the United Company, the local black people have become similar to the original African chiefs.
Help the captains who came to Africa to capture black people and sell them to America. The black people, headed by the Martin Luther King family, were helping the United Company deal with their own people in exchange for political status in Texas.
The family of Martin Luther King also understood that they were able to avoid obvious discrimination in Texas, and that Martin Luther King II could even be the Speaker of the House of Representatives in Texas. This was entirely based on this comparison.
"How many years did your family take to cultivate such a scab? It's unrealistic to expect other places to be as patient as your family." Young Rockefeller shook his head and said, "Is there any other way?"
"Yes!" Sheffield nodded waving his fingers, "Restart the Liberian migration plan, and open it up to all the black people in the United States and ask them who is willing to go back to Africa?"
The plan to return to Africa lasted for fifty years. A total of more than 10,000 black people returned to Africa and established a country called Liberia. This plan was interrupted after the Civil War.
Sheffield discussed the plan again. After thinking about it for a while, the two of them shook their heads and said, "There are very few black people going back. I'm sure they don't want to go back to Africa."
This is true. The original United States was not as powerful as it is today. It is unrealistic for black people to abandon their current environment in the United States and return to Africa to start over. Moreover, although Liberia is one of the few independent countries in Africa, it does not have good relations with its surrounding countries.
The black people who returned to Africa applied the colonization they learned from the Americas to the local black people.
"We can adhere to the principle of voluntariness and make it clear at the same time that black people who stay in the United States cannot expect to receive completely fair treatment if they choose to stay. I also understand in my heart that the existence of black people in Texas,
We can successfully support them in a small place. Currently, there is only one tenth of the black population in the country. No one has the capital to support an entire ethnic group. What remains is the segregation bill. When we go back, we can support them to create a world in Africa.
Sheffield paused and added, "It is entirely based on the principle of voluntariness."
Apart from what happened in New York, the following series of violent acts against black people are foreseeable.
The three entrepreneurs, who no longer have consciences, talked about the issue of race, but this issue did not actually occupy much space. It was just a fig leaf for the federal government to give black people the right to vote in name. But they all affirmed that
, the vast majority of black people will not choose to return to Africa.
The problem at hand was more difficult, but Sheffield did not take the initiative to talk. After asking Louisa Morgan for the unknown number of times whether she was safe in the past few days and whether she had been harassed by the recent chaos, little Morgan finally couldn't help it.
"William, don't you have anything more important to do?"
"Why is it not important for me, a man, to care about his own woman?" Sheffield said helplessly, "Just tell me, I agree with you."
At this point, Sheffield still looked unaware of the class issue and spoke of black people. He successfully deceived the two giants. The slave owner focused the topic on black people without arousing the suspicion of Morgan and Rockefeller. Sheffield was
Who are they, slave owners? They only care about racial issues and did not discover class issues from this incident. This is normal.
"How to deal with people like Walling, Willard, and Irvington?" Young Rockefeller still had to say, "They are all white people. William, what we are facing is not the problem of black people. It is another, bigger problem.
question."
He suppressed a smile and looked serious as he listened to the young Rockefeller and gave a general introduction to the dangers of Das Kapital. Sheffield said with a solemn expression, "This shows that the NAACP has quite a conspiracy."
"They want to overthrow our United States!" Little Morgan said, emphasizing our word, "The National Association for Colored People has a big problem. It is full of anti-social villains."
"This is a very good adjective!" Sheffield extended his thumb and applauded young Morgan for his bravery in defending class interests.
"Without joking, it's time for us people to unite closely. You are right about one thing. We can use racial issues to cover our purposes." Rockefeller Jr. named him, "We must completely destroy these people."
Buried.”
It turns out that this is the true face of little Rockefeller! Sheffield thought so in his heart, and finally nodded and said, "What should we do?"
Although this atrocity was planned by Sheffield himself, after lighting the fire, the initiative naturally fell into the hands of the two people in front of him. With such gritted teeth, no one would believe it.
Some teeth-gnashing curses uttered from the mouth of the gentle little Rockefeller were enough to make one's jaw drop.
"This is not a racial issue, we need to be united, William!" Seeing Sheffield's disapproval, Rockefeller Jr. couldn't help but emphasize, "Now that the Democratic Party is in power, don't take it seriously. This time we need you to take it seriously.
Put your seriousness about race on these real enemies."
"That's not true. The people you mentioned are all white people." Sheffield said coyly, wanting to demonstrate racial unity and figure out who was a friend and who was an enemy.
"Just because he is white, he is even more hateful." Little Morgan looked angry. Even these people knew that they were hiding under the guise of equal rights for black people. We must teach these people a lesson.
