1053 Where Do Negroes Go?
Where do blacks go?
This is not a problem in the United States in 2o14, where the presidents who live in the White House and lead the United States are half black! However, in 1857, whoever dared to predict that Zhun Bao would be beaten by a righteous white American. In the United States right now, racism and white supremacy are definitely the mainstream of the mainstream. Even those "civil rights activists" in the North who supported the abolition of slavery did not advocate giving citizenship to black Americans. Their real plan is to let the black millets go back to their hometown in Africa, and don't bother the United States in the future!
Of course, the Yankees have the same attitude towards the Chinese laborers who are currently working hard in the south of the United States: there is no problem in earning dollars, but don't stay in the United States all the time, and go back to China when you earn enough. Therefore, during this period, the "Chinese civil rights movement" born in California was not very successful......
On the desk of Wu Chunqiu, the ambassador of the Ming Empire to the United States, there are now several reports on the struggle of the Chinese in California, including demonstrations, petitions, brawls, and appeals. But nothing has been achieved, and the California government and legislature, which are controlled by white people, are biting the bullet and refusing to give Chinese citizenship.
However, the white government in California still made some concessions to the Chinese in terms of economic interests, such as allowing the Chinese to invest in gold mines, allowing the Chinese to buy more land, allowing Chinese gangs to open brothels everywhere in California, and allowing Japanese runaway girls to sell meat. After the economic interests were satisfied, the spirit of struggle weakened by more than half, and Rong Hong could not even organize a large-scale demonstration and petition. I had to take dozens of people to Washington to petition the President and Congress of the United States.
At this time, this "Mr. Long", who has made a little famous in the United States. He was sitting in the embassy room. Holding an English-language newspaper in his hand. Read it carefully. His expression was very playful, a little gloomy, a little helpless, a little crying and laughing, and a little gloating. Because the amount of information in this English newspaper is really amazing.
The situation of the Mexican Empress Mathilde's visit to the United States was different from the previous opposition of the US government, and the American people were really friendly to the empress surnamed Bonaparte, and the reporters of the major newspapers circled around the empress like flies and said good things about her in the newspapers. Who made her Napoleon's niece. Or is it a white person who can't be whiter anymore? Rong Hong thought in his heart that if Mathilde was an Indian, the Americans would not be so friendly...... In this regard, the white newspapers in the United States unanimously condemned Emperor Zhu's dictatorship. also praised the Jiangnan Shizi turmoil as the starting point for the overthrow of the ** dynasty...... In short, the American people now have a very bad impression of the Ming Emperor.
"Really, how did you come to the United States?" Rong Hong muttered softly, his face full of laughter. If he is in the country now, how can the leader of the Jishi Youth Party not have him? Now I can probably be a governor!
With a sigh, he flipped through another page of the newspaper. The news in this newspaper is all about the economy, and the current American ...... It seems to be going through an economic downturn. The newspapers were full of news of bank closures and railway bankruptcies. The main focus of the U.S. government and Congress is also on dealing with economic issues. Their approach was mainly to reduce tariffs and accede to the Quad Agreement, which includes a tariff component to the agreement, once accessed. The United States must fulfill its obligations under the tariffs under the agreement, and must reduce the import tariffs on all its imports to less than 2o%, and the average tariffs must be reduced to 15%. But can such a low tariff policy really help the United States survive the economic crisis?
Rong Hong shook his head with some suspicion, and began to pay attention to the issue of black people in the United States again. In the previous two years, the problem was still the "slave problem". But now, the black slaves are almost gone, and they have changed from happy slaves to precarious proletarians. Most of them have no jobs, no property, no housing, no future, no citizenship, they don't even have enough to eat, and they are often beaten to death by a white shopkeeper with a gun for stealing a loaf of bread! The situation is really miserable.
The solution offered by the supposedly free, equal, and fraternous white Americans was to send the blacks back to Africa. Of course, you can't just find a ship to take it back to Africa and throw it on the coast. The United States is a responsible country, and it cannot do this to the black people who have contributed so much to the American economy. Therefore, as early as 1821, when the American abolitionist movement was just emerging, the Americans established a colony in the Ivory Coast of Africa, and named it Free City (Liberia), and in 1847, let Liberia ** establish the Republic of Liberia as a country to settle black Americans. But sending 40,000 black Americans back to Liberia and ensuring that they have a well-governed, democratically elected government and a prosperous economy is a costly task.
Economic experts in the United States have already calculated that it will cost about $3oo to settle a black man in Liberia, including travel and resettlement costs, and about 4oo black people need $1.2 billion! It would take about $800 million to build a well-governed Liberian government, build a "free city", and build a relatively good infrastructure for Liberia. Together, the two would require as much as $2o billion! This is an astronomical amount of money at the moment, and neither the farmers in the southern United States nor the factory owners in the northern United States are willing to pay for it, so now the United States is endlessly arguing about this matter.
There will be no result of the ripping, who is willing to afford these 2o billion? So a plan called a "temporary settlement" was proposed by the southern states of the United States, which were deeply troubled by the problem of black people. It is to buy 4oo acres of land on the east bank of the Rio Grande in Texas near Mexico to temporarily resettle about 400,000 black Americans, of course, among whom blacks who have obtained U.S. citizenship (both federal and state) or have found jobs, or own a certain amount of property, are not included in the scope of temporary resettlement. However, given the current economic situation in the United States and some problems of blacks themselves, the number of blacks who can be resettled without being arrested is pitiful.
"When the time comes when the United States no longer needs Chinese laborers, the Chinese will probably end up in the same way, right?" Rong Hong shook his head slightly and put down the newspaper in his hand. To be honest, he is really not optimistic about the prospects of Chinese in the United States, on the one hand, most Chinese have no intention of staying in the United States to become citizens; On the one hand, they do not recognize the importance of political rights, just like the vast majority of ordinary people in China.
The door to the room was pulled open with a thud, and the black man dressed in the white waiter's clothes bowed his head respectfully and saluted him. This black man was bought by Zeng Guoquan to set up a score, but now he is idle, he is lazy and stupid and can't do things, so he left it to Wu Chunqiu and asked him to take it back to the United States, and arranged to do chores in the embassy. Even the conscientious factory owners of the American North began to cry out for these free black brothers.
Coming in from outside the door was Wu Chunqiu, the ambassador of the Ming Dynasty to the United States, who was still wearing a red official robe and a black veil, looking like an official of the Ming court. He waved at the black man Zengk and told him to stand guard outside the door. Then he swaggered in and didn't sit down, so he nodded at Rong Hong and said with a wry smile: "Brother Chunfu, I just received an invitation from the Duke of Bonapart, inviting us to his manor to attend the ball.
