May 15 is the day of election for the Fenway District Council election and the day the judge hearings will be held in the South Brighton District Court.

According to Massachusetts law, anyone who wants to become a judge must be recognized by the Legislature, and it can be said that the parliamentary hearing is equivalent to the election of the judge, which is the most important step to become a judge.

Omar wanted to be a judge, and that morning he arrived at the parliament building in South Brighton, carrying with him a notebook and a pen.

Omar attended the hearing at eleven o'clock in the morning, before he was sitting in the corridor of the parliament, writing something in his notebook with his pen, when suddenly there was a sound of leather shoes, and a man came to him, and Omar looked up, a tall and handsome white man, and at the same time an acquaintance of Omar, Omar smiled and said to him: "Kane, is it your turn to testify next?" ”

Kane also smiled at Omar: "Of course I will have good luck, although I didn't win against you when I was at Harvard, but this time is different, I will definitely be the new judge." ”

Omar shrugged his shoulders senselessly: "Then you come on, but I think I'll still do my best to win against you, and when I become the new judge, I'll treat you to a burger, the kind with two pieces of beef." ”

"Don't be too happy, wait until this hearing is over, you better keep that hamburger for yourself, or I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it in the future." ”

Kane left this sentence and walked into the hearing first, Omar waited until 10:45, he closed his notebook, and at 10:50, the staff of the council came out to prompt him to enter, Omar got up and tidied up his dress, and then walked into the hearing with his head held high.

The hearing was actually a small parliamentary hall, a podium, and dozens of parliamentarians sat opposite each other.

Kane stepped down from the podium and brushed Omar past him, telling him: "I'm playing well, and hopefully my old opponent won't let me water out of sympathy." ”

"Don't worry, I'm going to have you to eat two beef burgers, because I don't think you can eat them either. Omar was unceremoniously-for-tat.

Kane then left the hall, and Omar walked up to the lecture table, he took a deep breath and said: "Greetings ladies and gentlemen, I am Omar, and I am now studying for a doctorate at Harvard Law School, and my dream is to become a judge, to uphold the justice of the law and the fairness of society with my own hands, please believe that I will become a qualified judge!"

Omar's hearing lasted a total of an hour, and in addition to his own speech, he had to face the consultation and difficulties of all the lawmakers, but Omar passed it one time, and when his final speech ended, the audience even remembered warm applause. This made Omar very happy, as he did not remember hearing the applause after Kane's hearing.

Omar walked out of the hall and saw Kane and said, "It looks like I'm playing better than you this time." ”

Kane smiled disdainfully: "It's too early to say anything until the results come out, maybe the results will be unexpected." ”

The results of the hearing were announced a week later, and Omar still arrived at the parliament building in South Brighton early, thinking that he would be a judge, but he did not expect to wait for a failure.

"I'm sorry, but what we need is an American who can guarantee loyalty to the law, you have good grades but you are black, and it is difficult for us to guarantee that you will uphold the law fairly, especially in some cases against black people or racial overtones, we need to document your behavior for a longer period of time, maybe you need to go to the court and work as a recorder first. ”

That's the answer Omar heard, and his eyes widened: "Just because I'm black, you're not going to make me a judge?

In response to Omar's words, the other party replied with a sneer: "Just now I gave you the answer as a council worker, and the next thing I want to say to you as an individual is that the law is not played by like you, you better go back to your slums and play with your drugs and violence! If you want to be a judge, we allow God and will not allow it!"

The council worker's words were like a hammer slammed into Omar's heart, shattering his yearning for freedom and fairness.

No, this must be a conspiracy of those racists, I'm going to ask the Speaker about it!

Omar thought so, and then he wandered outside the door of the parliament to enter the parliament, but before he could think of a way to sneak in, he saw the speaker and Kane walk out together, which surprised Omar, and he quietly hid to the side, only to hear the news that shocked him.

"Thank you very much this time, Mr. Speaker, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to become a judge in Brighton. Kane said.

The Speaker waved his hand and said, "I am disgusted at the thought of having a be our judge in Brighton, I don't know what other municipalities think, but it is absolutely not allowed in our South Brighton district!"

Then the speaker said, "But Kane, I don't know how Ling Zun thinks about supporting me in next year's mayoral election?"

Kane smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem, Mr. Speaker, you know that my father has always hated those, this time my father will be very concerned about my election as a judge, he knows that you are so principled, I think he will be very happy, in fact, I came to you this time, my father wants to have dinner with you, I don't know if you have time?"

The speaker also smiled: "Of course there is time, this is really an honor." ”

Omar listened to their conversation, his fists clenched, his lungs about to explode, and he thought about what Kane meant by what he said to himself before the hearing, it turned out that he had already colluded with the Speaker to target himself.

But then Omar let go of his fist again, who made himself black? Who let himself not have a very rich father, just a poor student at Harvard? Even his own father, the Kenyan student, didn't he hate his black blood so much that he left?

Omar was so frustrated by these questions that he gradually released his fists and sat down on the ground, staring blankly as Kane and the Speaker walked away with a smile before coming out of the bushes where he was hiding.

Omar walked back to Harvard Law School in despair, but here he saw another thing that made him feel sad.

Downstairs in Abraham's dormitory, a beautiful blonde is kissing a handsome white guy as if no one else was around.

It was supposed to be a very romantic and beautiful picture, but in Omar's eyes, it was so ugly, because the blonde was his girlfriend, and the handsome white guy was Kane.

"Why, Lucy, why did you betray me?" asked Omar, angrily.

The sudden Omar startled the cheating man and woman, and the woman who called Lucy hid behind Kane for the first time, and Kane subconsciously took a step back, but then he saw that it was Omar, so he stepped forward again, he looked Omar up and down a few times and said, "Omar is back?" I'm sorry to tell you one thing, Lucy broke up with you, and she is now my girlfriend. ”

Omar didn't pay attention to Kane at all, he just looked at Lucy angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Lucy I want you to tell me, it's not true." ”

Lucy didn't answer Omar, it was Kane who answered him: "That's true, but I advise you not to ask why, because I'm afraid you won't be able to take some bigger blows." ”

"I want to know, you bastard, tell me if you lied to Lucy!"

Omar said two arrows stepped forward and grabbed Kane's collar, looking at him viciously, Kane was startled, Lucy subconsciously said: "Omar, what are you going to do? You have to let go, otherwise I will call the police, you should know what the consequences of being arrested in the police station as a black man are!"

Omar was stunned for a moment when he heard Lucy's words, Kane took this opportunity to push Omar to the ground with both hands, and pointed at Omar and scolded: "What do you want to do you want to do you nigga? Do you want to go into the police station and be stabbed in the ass? Let me tell you, Lucy was originally my girlfriend, and it was for this judge's hearing that she would be wronged to be with you, otherwise do you think she will look at you with your disgusting appearance?"

Omar shook his head in despair and muttered, "Impossible, this can't be true, we're so good......"

Kane seemed to feel that the blow to Omar was not enough, and he continued: "Do you think you are really that good? Let me tell you one more thing? Remember your first birthday together? It was the first time you slept together, but unfortunately you drank too much." ”

Hearing Kane say this, Omar suddenly raised his head, as if he had thought of something very terrible.

Kane looked at Omar proudly and said, "It seems that you have guessed, yes, it was Lucy who gave you sleeping pills that day, and then on your birthday, on the bed in your room, I was right next to you, your girlfriend hard, can you understand that feeling? That feeling is really good, a like you, that's how you deserve it, haha!"

"No, it's not true, you're lying, Lucy wouldn't betray me like that, you're lying!"

Omar shook his head desperately and said in pain, and finally roared at Kane like a wounded beast.

"Believe it or not, you lose it all anyway, whether it's a judge's hearing or a girlfriend. ”

Kane said as he reached out and lifted Omar's head, looked into Omar's eyes and finally said, "Remember what I told you at the last debate that it is useless for you to win in normal times, because you can't change anything except satisfy your vanity." But I, as long as I want to, I can make you fail at any critical moment that changes your life and destiny, and you can never turn over. ”

"For example, this judge's hearing," said Kane, "I learned about your hearing paper from Lucy, and I found a lot of new questions based on your ideas, so I did a good job this time, and I have to say thank you for that." ”

"You're a bastard!" Omar cursed through gritted teeth.

Kane said 'I like that name' and left with his arm around Lucy's waist, Omar watched it all in pain, and he also saw Lucy turn around and say sorry to him one last time before leaving.

"It's all liars! All love equals, laws are deceitful!" Omar wailed in pain.

......

"That's why I'm here today, to have the power that belongs to me, and I want to change all that, and I know you can help me. Omar said to Zhou Ming, Chen Shu, Ye Ning and Li Yang.
