When formulating the tour plan, Alex put forward a rigid requirement, that is, the target city of the tour must have a performance venue that can accommodate more than 5,000 people.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have considered performing in that city.

Unexpectedly, the 5,000-person restriction was too conservative, and when the news broke that he was going to start his first concert tour in New York, many news outlets followed up on it.

All kinds of related news appeared overwhelmingly, and people's eyes were attracted by this news.

Alex, who has debuted for more than six years, has finally started his touring journey.

"This is the most talked-about show ever!"

"Alex chose New York as his first stop!"

The location of the New York concert was Madison Square Garden, which is located above Pennsylvania Station, the largest train station in the United States.

As the curtain of New York, it is simply called MSG or simply "garden" by the locals of New York.

It's also home to New York's various teams, as well as major indoor events such as solo concerts, NBA basketball games, boxing matches, and political rallies.

The history of Madison Square Garden is a vivid history of American sports, literature and politics.

Before the concert began, Alex called all the people for a kick-off meeting.

The tour far exceeded his expectations and has reached 150 people. Most of them are bodyguards, personal assistants, staff, TV program recorders, and so on.

Alex didn't consider that Chuck, Little Richard and others were also big stars, their own team already had more than a dozen people, plus their bodyguards and personal assistants, that number was even bigger.

For this kind of high-cost concert, Rudy and others are strongly opposed, they think that they will definitely not be able to make back their money.

"Actually, you don't need that many stars, Chuck and they can do their own tour, there's no need to team up with you! You must know that the venue is so big, no matter how many people you attract to come, there is no way to make money from those people outside the venue. ”

However, Alex shut up with just one sentence: "I'll pay for everything on the tour!" ”

In fact, there are also people who believe that Chuck and Little Richard are black and Alex is white. When they appear on the same stage at the same time, I am afraid that it will cause criticism. Although the current apartheid policy does not affect places such as singing and performances, restrictions on public places still exist.

"Is it better to sell tickets to white people or to black people?"

Anyone who knows Alex knows that he is against racism, and something about it happened a few years ago when he was on a TV show. As a result, at the insistence of Alex and others, their performances still used the accompaniment of black bands.

The person who said this was to remind Alex that most of the people who like Chuck are black, and there is no way to attract white people into the market. In other words, they want Alex to replace Chuck, even if it is to make a new white kid better than Chuck as a black singer.

Alex didn't take such a question to heart at all, saying, "We don't care who the tickets are sold to, we just give money." ”

Alex believes that in terms of his popularity, there is no need to think about whether the concert tickets will sell or not. If you can't stand being around people of different colors, you can listen to music at home. He has no shortage of this small group of ultra-racist activists, and a large number of people will ignore the skin color of the people around them in order to listen to his songs.

As it turned out, tickets for the New York concert were sold out at once, and there were even many people who couldn't buy tickets and wanted to find scalpers to buy tickets at a high price.

However, Alex's disregard for the status quo has also drawn criticism from some white media, who believe that it is illegal to put whites and blacks in the same public place.

"He's flouting the law, he's committing a crime!"

"We must stop him, this is defiling our race!"

"Who does he think he is? Oh my God! If the want justice, go to God. ”

"Did the Carpenter brothers sing too much rock music, so they thought they had dark skin?"

Similarly, some of the more neutral media outlets are concerned about Alex's approach. They believe that the contradictions between blacks and whites are too deep now, and if they both stay in the same place, friction and struggle will inevitably occur.

"What if there is a brawl at the concert site! Alex, you're so smart, haven't you thought about it! ”

"Alex's approach is too risky, although our apartheid is wrong, but if we make such a big scene all at once, I'm afraid there will be problems."

Unintentionally, Alex's actions touched a nerve. Many sociologists, legal experts, celebrities, news commentators, and so on have all commented on his practice, which has aroused tremendous repercussions in society.

Under this pressure, many people thought that Alex would compromise.

However, what they didn't expect was that Alex didn't take this kind of discussion to heart at all. He considered the possibility of conflict, so he hired so many bodyguards and security workers to maintain order on the scene.

As for the opposition and attention of so many people, it was unexpected.

As a person from later generations of Red China, racial discrimination against the United States is just hearsay. Even though he had been in this world for more than ten years, he still did not take this aspect of the problem seriously.

The most important thing is that he has faith in himself, and he believes that as long as the music plays, no one will pay attention to the skin color of the people around him.

On the night of the concert, when entering the venue, the white and black teams were like two parallel rivers, distinct. During this period, many white people ridiculed and intimidated black people, and they couldn't see black people staying in the same place with them.

"Hey! , you don't steal your money, or you can't afford to buy tickets! ”

"What a fuck! There will be watching the concert with us! ”

"Staying with these dark guys, I can't even breathe."

These were only minor provocations, but they were immediately stopped by the security guards stationed in various places. There were also those who came forward to stop the restlessness of the blacks, and whoever dared to make trouble was immediately pulled out of the line and forbidden to enter. If you have already bought a ticket, you will also be refunded directly to the troublemaker.

The local police department in New York City is also facing the enemy, sending all its personnel to maintain public safety and order. They are also worried that Alex's concert will have an accident, but it's good that this kind of thing doesn't happen, and if it happens, it will definitely be a national event.

On the issue of race, the president of the United States at this time had long realized that racial discrimination alienated hundreds of millions of Africans and Asians, which would cost them a lot of votes. So there are a lot of politicians who are seeking racial normalization, at least for the sake of vote on the surface.

Of course, there are many more politicians who have made strong demands for strict segregation in order to curry favor with ultra-whites. Even when faced with the president of the United States, they have nothing to fear, and many good policies and proposals have been aborted because of them.

Truman's election was based on the black voters, when the Republican and Democratic parties were so evenly balanced that the influence of black votes was crucial. Truman repeatedly outnumbered his opponents in the black drafts in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Cleveland, leading him to win California, Illinois, and Ohio.

To this end, after Truman came to power, he took action in many ways.

First, a civil rights commission was appointed, which in its report of inquiry called for an end to segregation in all spheres of American life and for political, economic, and social equality. Truman signed the report, but unfortunately, this legislative proposal was not realized until Alex crossed over.

Second, Truman issued an executive order to end racial discrimination in government hires and to desegregation the armed forces.

In addition, the judiciary is prepared to support an end to segregation in areas such as housing, education, and transportation.

None of these efforts actually came to fruition, but they did have a big impact. What the president of the United States can't solve, Alex can't change, it's just that he just wants to change these few hours, so that everyone can sit down and enjoy the music without prejudice.

"Music alone is the common language of mankind. Since people can't communicate normally, let's use music as a medium. ”

Alex's naïve thinking and disregard for the status quo of society has angered many people. These include the terrifying Ku Klux Klux Klan, as well as powerful figures, vested interests, and some people who have always looked down on him.

For this kind of black and white mixed together in the New York concert, it really made someone shocked and angry after hearing it, and he was so angry that he threw the information on the table and scolded: "What does this kid want to do!" What does he want to do! ”

"Isn't it chaotic enough, can't you understand the current state of society?"

"Idiot! Stupidity! Incorrigible guy! ”

"How stupid and naïve it must be to do this, I really want him to die!"

"There is nothing to do, people can't relax for a moment!"

The man touched the thinning hair on the top, thought for a moment, then pressed the button next to the phone, and said, "Gandy, you let Thorson double the number of people to keep an eye on Alex, there must be no accidents." ”

A gentle female voice replied, "Well behaved, Edgar! ”
