Chapter 482: Be Kind to Me

Alvin's-for-tat made Melissa a little panicked, she couldn't imagine that a guy who had never been on TV would react so violently on such an occasion. m.

Melissa is a leading figure in the Black movement in New York State, and this high-impact interview made her feel like she had a great opportunity.

She did everything possible to get this opportunity from the hands of ABC executives, and she originally wanted to have a good talk with Alvin, if she could win Alvin's support, maybe their group could gain huge exposure.

But Melissa, a veteran media person, almost instinctively seized on the loophole in Alvin's joke about black people.

This is their professional instinct, seizing on other people's language loopholes, tearing up the gap, making things bigger, expanding the situation, and realizing their own interests.

There's certainly nothing wrong with them fighting for a group of people, and it's commendable, but it's a bit of a fuck up when you sacrifice the reputation and interests of innocent people!

Melissa thought that Alvin would apologize for his questioning or something. After all, racial discrimination is a very sensitive topic in the United States. The first thing the president has to do in the face of such accusations is to apologize.

As long as Alvinken apologizes, it will give him a chance to articulate his claim.

But she's obviously thinking a little too much~~

Bob glanced at Melissa with annoyance and some sympathy, and the colleague who had been well prepared to fight a tough battle had just been put down. It is estimated that her media career is over!

A lawsuit dragging down a person is never a joke in the United States!

The bearded Hank, who had not spoken, might be friends with this Melissa, and he looked at Alvin and said cautiously, "There may be some misunderstanding here!"

Mr. Alvin, Melissa is a kind person who has spent her entire career campaigning for the rights of black people.

And the joke you just said about blacks does involve racial discrimination. It was no surprise that she had such a big reaction.

If you think Melissa went too far, I can apologize to you on his behalf! ”

Alvin shook his head, suddenly feeling a little tired, it seemed that being on TV was really not something he was good at.

These people only care about what they care about, and they don't care at all what Alvin wants to say or do!

Judging by the attitude of the host, Bob, ABC must have wanted to do a successful interview. But judging from the attitude of these two guest hosts, they must have their own purposes.

Alvin didn't know what it was, and it was a little too difficult for him to ask Alvin to analyze these things.

Looking at the bearded Hank, Alvin smiled and said, "Do you believe in the law?" ”

Hank was stunned for a moment, glanced at Melissa with some sympathy, and then nodded and said, "Of course, I believe in the law!" ”

Hank is annoyed because he feels like he's running into a pig teammate.

Before taking the stage, everyone clearly said that it was okay, but they just had a verbal argument with Alvin, and in the end, no matter what the result, everyone laughed, shook hands and made peace, trying to win Alvin's sympathy and support, even if it was only on the surface.

You know, Alvin's speech really touched most people.

Now everyone is more convinced of him, if he can win Alvin's support, the kind of benefit is unimaginable.

Even if it doesn't work, you can explain your position and ideas on a national live broadcast occasion, and you can always gain some support in the end. Outcome~~~

Alvin nodded and said, "Then let the law you believe in decide what is right or wrong." ”

Hank glanced helplessly at Melissa, who was sitting weakly in the chair, trying to maintain the last bit of pride, and then said to Alvin: "But this really hasn't reached this level~~."

Melissa's approach is just an instinctive reaction to her, and if you represent the rights of a certain number of people, you can't help but want them to be treated with the utmost respect. ”

Alvin looked at the bearded Hank with a sad expression, shook his head, and said, "I don't know how it feels, and I never feel like I can represent anyone.

I don't even think there's anything wrong with showing some caution to the people in Hell's Kitchen.

They've made mistakes, or they're making mistakes, or they're out of luck, but they're adults.

I'm not going to ask for mercy and help for them, or to fight for their status or anything like that.

I don't know that, I just want people to give them a little bit of precious tolerance and not be prejudiced against them as they try to get out of their current bad life. ”

Saying that, Alvin looked at Hank sincerely and said, "I don't know what you want to do, but I only do what I want to do and what I should do.

What determines my thoughts and actions is what I really see and hear.

You slander me, I sue you, what's wrong with that? ”

Hank said a little speechlessly: "But your joke~~your~~"

Alvin shook his head helplessly and said, "Why don't you go to the streets of Hell's Kitchen and find a random black man to ask, does what I just said mean racist?"

I'm from Hell's Kitchen, and I have a lot of black friends there.

Dude, blacks were legislated a few years ago, what the hell are you trying to do? ”

Hank said solemnly: "Because although the legislation is enacted, there are still a lot of African Americans who are not treated reasonably. ”

Alvin was silent for a moment, and said a little awkwardly: "I approve of your actions, but do you really recognize yourself?" ”

Saying that, Alvin pointed to Melissa and said to Hank, "She just called me Asian-American, and you call them African-American, and Mexican-American, and so on, and so on!"

What is it? Why do we all have a prefix in front of it? Shouldn't everyone have a uniform name, Americans?

Of course, I don't mind~~ Many people don't mind either, because it seems to be a conventional rule that makes it easy for everyone to distinguish their own race. ”

Bob was in a hurry to get up and wanted to end the topic, because the consequences could be very serious if he let Alvin continue.

Alvin also stood up, smiled and walked over to Bob, pressed him into his chair, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't beat anyone!" ”

Glancing at Hank, who had an ugly face, Alvin smiled and said, "Then Mr. Hank can you answer for me, what kind of American are you?" ”

Hank muttered, but couldn't answer the question.

Alvin made a look of sudden realization and said, "Ah~~ I know! European-American, definitely, right?

Oh~~no~~ Europeans don't necessarily agree, maybe they will say ~~"

Alvin raised his chin, bared his nostrils, and said in a serious London accent that was not very skillful: "No, no, no~ they are not Europeans, they are rude hooligans, uneducated guys, they are not Europeans!" ”

Alvin's comical appearance sent a burst of laughter from the non-white audience.

Bob breathed a sigh of relief, Alvin didn't look like he was going crazy, at least he showed a hint of humor. It's not a big deal to caricature white people in America on TV!

Looking at Hank, who was a little dissatisfied, Alvin smiled and said, "Why do you look a little unhappy?" European-Americans don't sound good?

So how about we change to a more noble one, Anglo, Anglo-Saxon-American? ”

Hank's face was ugly and he said, "You're making trouble!" ”

Alvin shook his head and said with a smile, "Is that really the case?"

I've heard a joke about a Jamaican friend of mine going through customs, and a staff member took his ID and asked him, African American?

My friend said, no, no, no, I'm Jamaican.

The staff said, we only have African Americans here, so you can't stay in America.

My friend said, no, no, no, I'm African, I'm African-American. ”

Alvin spread his hands in the face of this laughter, and said with a smile: "What's going on? Will anyone ask, 'Why aren't you European-American?' ”

The large crowd in the audience shouted together, "What's going on? ”

Facing Hank's iron-green face, Alvin smiled and shook his head, he didn't want to make things too big, it didn't match his purpose. It's just that this Hank's fucked look of standing on the moral high ground makes him a little angry.

Those who come to persuade you to be generous when you are hurt, what should you do~~~

Alvin decided to put an end to the topic, which was going on and on, maybe someone would march tomorrow or something.

I'm not a civil rights leader myself, so there's really no need to talk about it, so don't get into trouble when the time comes.

"Dude, I don't really care about what I just said.

I can apologize to you if those make you uncomfortable!

But I want to say that I am not in the same position as yours, and don't kidnap me with your ideas.

Hmm~~ Regarding discrimination, let me say one more thing, if a company wants to lay off employees, a Chinese and a black person with the same ability in the same position, 80% of the people who may be laid off are Chinese.

So, who exactly is being discriminated against?

You're white, you're willing to help black people fight for their rights, whatever your ideas, I admire you!

But is it absolutely right to sacrifice the interests of some people to fulfill the greatness of your heart? ”

Bob finally played the role of an excellent host at this time, and he asked at the right time: "Then Alvin, what do you think~~"

Alvin glanced at Bob and said with a smile, "My education has taught me a truth.

Knowledge changes fate, and hard work determines life!

These may not be absolute, but they work for most people.

So I became the principal of a community school!

I want to help children who still have the opportunity to be able to choose their own lives.

I live in Hell's Kitchen, I understand there, all those who are forced to come to Hell's Kitchen, their fate has reached a low point.

The only thing that can change their lives is their own efforts.

And you, all of you, just need to give them a little "tolerance". Let them see the hope of changing their lives.

These are my only pleas for you!

Let God decide the rest! ”

Bob stood up with some excitement and hugged Alvin, saying, "This is the most sincere plea I've ever heard, and I don't think anyone would refuse such a plea." ”

Alvin smiled and patted Bob's back and said with a smile, "I hope so~~."

I always naively wish the world was all good!

I always allow myself to see the good side of the world!

This makes me more satisfied and happier!

I'm just an ordinary person with a bit of ability~~

Man, don't be too me, please be nice to me next! ”

……………………

The crutches have done their best, and I always hope that a plot will be written so that the book friends who are chasing it can read it coherently.

I stayed up for a long time yesterday, and today's three more words were released at one time.

I just sent my child to school with crutches, and now I'm going to catch up on sleep!

Ask for a monthly pass, thank you, thanksgiving!
