It seems that as long as you arrive at this land, you can live a better life and start a new life.
But just as sweet dreams are always awakened by cold reality, and bubbles are always burst by cruel status quo.
Many people at the bottom have traveled across the ocean to come here, only to discover that the so-called "American Dream" is just a complete lie.
They still work the hardest jobs, receive the cheapest wages, and are bullied, excluded, and regarded as thieves who steal opportunities.
The special environment and special soil can naturally bear different fruits.
In the 60s, racial violence was nothing new.
In 1917, conflict broke out in St. Louis.
The cause was that a black driver was speeding, changed lanes at will, and was caught by the white police. During this period, there were physical conflicts and violent behaviors, which triggered a siege.
Then it deteriorated, intensified, and turned into a brawl.
The gunshots rang out, and a black man was shot and fell to the ground, causing large-scale riots.
Afterwards, the government dispatched [-] National Guard soldiers to take to the streets to suppress the protests.
During this period, 312 houses were destroyed, 48 people were killed, and more than 100 people were injured.
This is the beginning of turmoil.
Just two years later, in Chicago in 1919, the same vicious incident occurred, resulting in 38 deaths, 537 injuries, and property damage of more than 200 million US dollars.
Racial conflicts, this wave intensified, like a spreading plague, appeared in many cities such as Detroit and New York in the same year.
Therefore, the beautiful scenery of this lighthouse country has actually been repeated many times in history.
Party politics has led to the tearing of society. The general election every four years is just a game where one group of elites replaces another group of elites and take turns to sit on the bank.
People either choose one jerk who is pleasing to the eye, or another jerk who is not so pleasing to the eye.
What appears to be a democratic choice actually means nothing to minorities and marginalized people.
Therefore, they can only vent to make trouble every once in a while.
In this way, to express their dissatisfaction.
For example, in 1916, the black leader Du Boss said, "Violence is the most effective way for blacks and other minorities to get rid of white oppression."
This sentence was later widely recognized by the black community. Whenever there is discrimination and expansion, they will take to the streets, protest and start "zero-dollar shopping" activities.
This situation will not be alleviated until the appearance of the black pastor Martin Luther King.
The latter led the non-violent civil rights movement, calling on blacks to organize and have a chance to march and protest instead of simply using violence.
Of course, the above is all about history.
At this point in time, Martin Luther King is still serving as an assistant pastor in a church at the Ebenezer Baptist Church.
It was 17 years after he became a black leader and delivered the famous "I have a dream" speech.
However, a rights protection movement that has never appeared in history, blacks, ethnic minorities, and fringe people gathers heroes and superstars, is slowly unfolding with vigor and vitality.
"I support Bob! This is a black persecution! Those goddamn bastards! Suits, pretending to be big shit elites, they trample our lives!"
A big black brother yelled angrily at the camera, speaking very rhythmically, as if he was singing rap.
"I'm rooting for Bob too! There's nothing shameful about being gay! We need to be treated right too! Burn those prejudiced guys!"
A middle-aged man dressed up and wearing foundation on his face held a sign.
"Bob is innocent! He is like those little animals who have been abused and abandoned, unable to resist the cruelty of human beings! He deserves justice!"
A member of the Animal Rescue Alliance said with tears in his eyes.
"God bless Bob, he is a good man."
A religious person blessed.
The interview footage was broadcast on the TV, and in just one day, Bob, who was originally unknown, became a household name.
Then, a parade that gradually expanded in size took place.
The enthusiastic and participating melon-eating crowd took to the streets, even though they didn't know Bob and didn't care about the affirmative action.
But since everyone is doing this, why not join in by yourself.
In this way, it can also demonstrate the inner sense of justice.
If neighbors or friends ask about it in the future, you can also add a little bit of talk.
As a result, at the entrance of the Essex Building standing in Manhattan, more and more people poured in.
The surrounding traffic was nearly paralyzed, and even the police who came to maintain order and police cars were stopped outside.
Such a battle gave Mister Omen a headache.
He has always kept a low profile and avoided public appearances.
The sudden exposure and becoming the focus made Mister Omen a little at a loss.
He called the White House immediately, the president's private line was connected, and there was a voice of blame
"What's going on here? Nathaniel, I told you, it's okay to catch mutants, but don't make a big fuss and cause trouble."
In Kang the Conqueror's brainwashing of the President, Mr. Omen was set as the latter's best friend and most trustworthy helper.
"I don't know what happened. It's not like a protest march organized by mutants. There are black people, gays, animal protection associations and religious people in the team. I don't understand why they are so excited? It has nothing to do with them relation!"
Mr. Sinister expressed his confusion. For that guy named Bob, mutant has become the most inconspicuous label on him.
"Respond as soon as possible, issue a clarification statement, and tell New Yorkers through the media that you have nothing to do with this persecution scandal."
The president's thinking was clear, and he said in a deep voice: "Even if a similar incident did happen, the Essex Bio Company and the government must be ignorant."
"Everything is handed over to the outsourced team, and it is a deranged temporary worker who commits this heinous crime."
Mr. Sinister wrote it down silently, then said a few words, and then hung up the phone.
He walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked down at the crowded crowd, with a hint of coldness on the corner of his mouth.
With the support of the government, the official cleansing of the land, and a parade gathered by a mob, it cannot shake the foundation of Essex Bio.
"Hmph, it's a small fight."
Mister Omen looked contemptuously at the farce, waiting for its end.
"This is the beginning."
Howard sat across from Luke as he slowly sliced through the plate of beef with a knife and fork.
"Mr. Omen, and the federal government, underestimated the fact that the problem of racism is a powder keg stacked together that, when ignited, can explode with incredible destructive power."
In the 60s and [-]s, violent racial conflicts in American cities were mainly concentrated between blacks and whites.
Its root lies in the political oppression and economic exploitation of blacks by whites under the apartheid system in history.
This led to the growing nationalist sentiment of blacks in the 50s, which went to extremes.
Robert Williams, the black leader who is currently active in major cities, has long made it clear that
"We cannot tolerate those who treat us unfairly in court. We must punish them. If lynching is necessary to deter lynching, then we are willing to do so."
"Our only logical, successful answer is to respond to mass organized violence with mass organized violence"
"Molotov cocktails, lye and sulfuric acid bombs are all widely available, and minority self-defense will surely win."
These are the opinions expressed by the black leader.
In fact, before the emergence of Martin Luther King, every so-called "leader" advocated the demonstration of "black power" through violence.
The simple and rude way not only conforms to the way of thinking of black people, but also can quickly accumulate popularity.
"You plan to turn this farce into an affirmative action movement?"
Howard realized that Luke wasn't just trying to win the public opinion and dust Essex Bio in the dust.
"How is it possible? I didn't plan to be a leader of public opinion, and I didn't want to win votes. Even if I wanted to do this, it would be to unite the whites of the elite. They are the votes that every president needs."
Luke shrugged and smiled lightly: "I just exposed the problems of this country for everyone to see."
"Cleveland, New York, Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia and Miami have incidents of ethnic conflict almost every year."
"Black, Palestinian, Hispanic ultra-nationalism is rampant."
"Bob was the trigger, and the mutants were an excuse, they would ignite people's anger, and then Essex Bio became the target."
Howard was thoughtful, and he looked in the direction of the Essex Building through the glass window.
The night was getting darker, but the flow of people gathered continued unabated.
Someone even started to give a speech, it was the black leader Robert Williams who advocated violence.
To sum up his hoarse, passionate speech.
The general idea is that black people need equal rights and a legal status that is not discriminated against, treated differently, exploited and persecuted.
The focus is on more jobs, better education, and eligibility for the presidency. The last one is the key.
"I just put a person named Bob into the public eye. There are many labels on him. Those who have interests will carry out some activities through labels related to themselves."
Luke wiped the corner of his mouth. Robert Williams might be the first to stand up, but he won't be the last.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a gay man from Chicago to speak up.
She's a woman who speaks out about the vulnerability of the gay community and calls for women's empowerment
"This incident made me tremble all over with anger. My whole body is sweating in a hot day, and my hands and feet are cold. Can this country recover?"
"As a woman and gay, how can I live to satisfy those mainstream people? Society is full of discrimination and injustice against us. When will marginal people like me really stand up?"
Hearing this, the woman who was originally in charge of eating melons immediately joined the protest team.
The crowd outside was unknowingly divided into different circles.
"I only have one question."
Howard observed for a while, then looked away.
"How did you find that Bob?"
Luke smiled slightly and replied, "He doesn't exist."
"To be precise, there is a guy named Bob. He is an Ipsilon-level mutant, that is, the kind with genetic defects."
"He was captured by Essex Bio last week and died in the laboratory."
"But this Bob, he's not gay, even though he hanged out with a few hippies, he's not an animal activist, even though he raised a rabbit, he's not religious either"
"Those are actually not important. The key is that he is drinking, taking drugs, degrading himself, and is the bottom of society."
Howard seemed to understand, and frowned: "Bob represents the bottom, those struggling in the mud, they will resonate with this image."
"bingo."
Luke snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "Even if Mister Sinister investigates and tells the truth, it won't work."
"People will blame Bob's depravity on the policies of this country, the discrimination of whites against blacks, the exclusion of gays from the mainstream, and the persecution of marginalized people by the elite"
"Why? Because Bob represented them."
Howard froze for a few seconds before saying, "That's why you didn't let Captain Rogers participate."
"That's right. Struggles, games, the rules of these games are actually competing for the lower limit, and people like Steve can't adapt."
Luke nodded and stood up.
"Bob already has so many supporters, it's time for mutants to come on board."
If this protest were limited to mutants and big companies, it would be impossible to cause such a stir.
"For Bob, for justice!"
In front of the Essex Building, a mutant stood on the steps.
Through his ability, like a trumpet, he transmits his voice very far.
Then, he rushed into the gate blocked by security.
A dozen more people followed suit in a similar manner.
Their actions caused commotion among the crowd.
Like a surging tide, they squeezed into the door of the Essex Building one after another.
