Chapter 865: The Colored People's Association (Middle)

Even when this black man Powell heard ******** say this, his heart suddenly jumped, and not only did he not feel happy, but he was very nervous. Because this black man is president, it is a fantasy in the United States in this era, and even the black people themselves have never had this daydream. You must know that in this era, blacks have been oppressed for a long time, even after the Civil War, blacks are already legally free people. However, they do not dare to have too many extravagant expectations for holding public office and those positions of the upper class of society.

And at present, these blacks who have been removed from public office are actually just hoping that those whites will appoint some subordinate affairs officials to them after they succeed in the election. As for being president, they didn't even think about it, they didn't have this luxury at all. Sometimes, after being oppressed for a long time, even those who are oppressed think they are justified. Once a habit of oppression is formed for a long time, both the oppressor and the oppressed will begin to get used to it in their hearts, and even take it for granted.

Black people didn't even think about being able to run for president, they didn't think about the concept at all. And now they suddenly heard that someone asked them to run for president, which made Powell very nervous, because for the United States in this era, it is simply unthinkable for a black person to run for president. Even more than 100 years later, isn't it true that ****** black man running for president has caused a lot of criticism? Of course, even if Americans are much more "civilized" more than 100 years later, this will still be the case. But now if a black man runs for president, then this really touches the white scale, who knows what the consequences will be?

Moreover, even blacks themselves subconsciously believe that they do not have the right to run for president. So when they heard that, they felt very nervous.

"Hehe, Mr. Powell, why do you think blacks can't run for president? Is there a clause in the law in the United States that says that black people cannot run for president? I remember that the election laws in the United States had a basic requirement that you must be born in the United States. And be a U.S. citizen, over the age of 35, and finally live in the U.S. for 14 years. I think most of you blacks can do these conditions, right? So, why can't you run for president? ******** asked.

"That's right!" It dawned on Powell.

It seems that the law in the United States does not stipulate that black people cannot run for president, that is, all eligible blacks can also run for president. And the above four so-called conditions, a large number of people meet them. Almost a lot of black people meet these criteria, so why can't he run for president?

"But can we do it?" Powell still shook his head, obviously he was not confident!

And ******** went on to say, "Mr. Powell, of course I know that it is not easy for you black people to be president. But if you don't try, how can you succeed? If you don't even dare to try, you won't succeed in the end. Try and maybe have a chance to succeed. Even maybe it's just one percent hope. But if you don't try, it's really hopeless. Do you think that's the truth? ”

"This ......" Powell was still a little hesitant.

It is obvious that this Powell is obviously a little tempted, but he is very unconfident.

"Mr. Powell, I'll tell you the truth, I actually think it's very difficult for you blacks to run for president in a short period of time. But maybe it's hard right now. But what about ten years from now? Twenty years from now? But I want to tell you that your class status is earned by yourself, not by others. And if you depend on the charity of others to support you, then in the end you will definitely not be able to lift your head in front of others. There is a situation in our China at the moment, do you know the situation of women in our China? In the past, the status of women in China was very low. They all depend on their husbands for support. And in this case, even if their husband commits domestic violence against them, they will not be able to resist, but can only endure it silently. Because they don't have their own independent financial resources, they can't be financially independent, and they are completely dependent on other people's alms, so where can they harden their waists? ”

"And now our Emperor has begun to allow women to come out, forbidden footbinding, and so on, and the abolition of bad habits. Many women have also begun to do what they can, and although the income may not be very high, at least they are financially independent, and they will not be bullied by their husbands at home and have no self-esteem. ”

"It's the same with you blacks, although you blacks have some talent, like you social elites. But what is the difference between you and our wives in China, who used to depend on their husbands for their support and survived entirely on alms. And now you're pinning your hopes of getting into high society in the white people, the voters, and you're living entirely on handouts. In this situation, how can you ever have dignity? Have you ever had your own ideas, and everything has to be done according to their ideas. So you can't really have your own self-esteem. So, why can't you seek to be your own master? ”

"As long as you form your own party, even if you don't have any hope of running for president at first. But it can definitely raise the cohesion of all the blacks, unite the social elite of those scattered blacks, and then unite you into a single bond. In the end, you can collectively fight for the interests of you blacks, so as to protect the rights and interests of you blacks, and even in the future, you can go back to seek benefits for blacks. I think you can be able to defend your own interests, and you won't have to rely entirely on currying favor with white people to gain benefits. In fact, you and the white people are not the same way at all, you blacks have more than 30 percent of the population, but why can't you form a political party to protect your own interests? Only by establishing one's own political party can one safeguard one's own interests! ”

"According to our Emperor Maj. Marx, political parties are in fact politically competing representatives of their own class. And the most important thing for you blacks is that you don't have a political party of your own, you don't have a political party that protects your interests politically. That's why you're so oppressed, and then you can't be protected at all. If there is no organization to defend your position politically, can you not be oppressed? So, I think you have to form a political party, whether it's to fight for president in the future, or to defend your interests. If you have a member of your own in Congress, you are even qualified to speak your voice! Although there may not be many seats in the council, at least it means that you have a voice. If you don't even have the qualifications to speak, how can you defend your interests? First of all, we must fight for the right to speak, at least we must be able to make our voices heard. If you can't even speak your own voice, you can only be betrayed, sacrificed, or even slaughtered in the end. ”

"So, think for yourselves how to do it! I don't think you're willing to do that kind of sacrifice. That's all I say, if you have an idea, you can contact me according to this offense. Put a contact message in the designated place and we can get in touch again. ”

As soon as he left, Boris began to discuss with several black officials around him who had been removed from their posts.

"Well, should we form our own black party, called the Colored Progressive Party!" That Boris said.

"This ......" the blacks hesitated.

Boris was clearly tempted, and he knew that this was a good opportunity, and if he could take this opportunity to become the spiritual leader of all black people in America, then his status would be much higher. They can even deliberately gain a lot of power after they can become leaders. The ******** was right, if they blacks pinned their hopes on whites, they would end up with nothing. Therefore, the real benefits are won by oneself, not by the gifts of others.

If others can give it, then he can take it back at any time, so only the benefits he earns are his own.

"Don't you know? What kind of goods are those white people, they don't treat us as their own at all, they completely treat us as dogs that can be fed out to decorate the faΓ§ade. But once they don't need us anymore, they can kill us at any time. So do we still have to follow them? So if we can form our own parties, why can't we form our own parties? If we form a Colored Association of Men (ACAC) ourselves, then we blacks will be organized. ”

But how do we form our own party? We're certainly not going to be able to compete with the white guys. How do we organize, how can we really build our partisanship? If we do not have sufficient economic conditions, then we will certainly not be able to effectively form our own parties. If we don't have enough economic support, then our party won't be able to support it! ”

Powell thought for a while and said, "Let's go and contact that Chinese, so we can definitely think about it!" (To be continued.) )
