Seeing this prompt version, Roosevelt's face immediately became gloomy.

He raised his hand in his wheelchair, called his hand over, and whispered something.

Stopped, nodded, and quickly ran into the French restaurant in front of him.

Although Roosevelt deliberately lowered his voice and had no intention of letting Zhou Yu hear it, Zhou Yu, whose five senses had already surpassed ordinary people, heard it clearly.

Roosevelt asked his assistant to ask the owner of the shop who had set the rule, whether there was any legal basis, and if not, he would remove it as soon as possible, because he wanted to dine with very important friends.

Joking, although Roosevelt has temporarily withdrawn from the center of power, his influence is still there, and if he wants to return to politics, it will be a matter of minutes.

I saw the assistant run into the restaurant, and after a while, it seemed that the manager and foreman of the restaurant also hurried out.

"I'm so sorry, sir, we didn't know you were coming here for dinner."

The manager, dressed in a white shirt and black vest, and a black tuxedo suit, shiny leather shoes on his feet, and his hair combed meticulously, stood in front of Roosevelt with his body hunched, and it could be seen that there was some trepidation and some crampedness.

Roosevelt asked expressionlessly, "You're the manager here?" I'm going to dine with my friends right now, is there any problem? ”

His meaning was obviously to ask for the sign at the door, the manager had a fine sweat on his forehead, glanced at Zhou Yu, who was pushing a wheelchair, and didn't agree immediately, but for the sake of it:

"Sir, you can go in at any time to dine, but this friend of yours ...... Will he have the option to dine in the back kitchen? You can rest assured that the food we prepare for him will not be the slightest different from other guests, using the best ingredients and using the best chefs, and will definitely make him have a perfect dining experience. ”

Hearing the other party's answer, Roosevelt, who was always mild-mannered, had a rare anger on his face.

"You asked my friend to dine in the back kitchen and said that he would have a perfect dining experience? Is this what you call perfection? We're going to eat in the hall, okay or not! If not, we'll get out of here now, and I'll visit your Governor of Tennessee and ask how his restaurant serves guests! I would also like to ask him, do federal laws apply in Tennessee? When did our restaurant start picking out the skin tones of its customers?! ”

In fact, the manager's reaction Zhou Yu had already predicted, he knew that the more he went to the south of the New World, the more serious the situation would be, but what he didn't expect was that in the face of Roosevelt, a big man who can be said to be a distinguished person, a small restaurant manager still insisted on his so-called principles, and also proposed to let himself go to the back kitchen to eat.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu looked around the street, only to find that this street with people coming and going, there was no black skin, and even less yellow skin.

Not only that, but while they were communicating with the manager here, many passers-by threw strange glances at him and pointed at him, not knowing what they were saying.

Seeing Roosevelt's anger, the manager bit his lip and bowed as if he had made up his mind:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Roosevelt, but it's the custom in our town that customers of other races eat and stay on the other street, and this custom has been around for hundreds of years, and even if I agreed, the other patrons in the restaurant would never agree."

Roosevelt was also quite surprised when he heard the other party's answer, originally he thought that as long as he came forward, the manager of the restaurant would definitely make concessions, but he didn't expect that the other party insisted on his choice after learning his identity in advance, and said that this is a tradition in their town for hundreds of years, what kind of bullshit tradition is this?

"Humph! What a boldness, have you forgotten that our federal government in the New World was composed of immigrants from countless countries at the beginning of the country! Our bloodline is no more noble than any race, and we have no right to divide the human beings in this world into three, six, nine, and so on! The constitution still stipulates that your town dares to know the law and break the law? Very good, wait for my lawyer's letter! Let's go! ”

Roosevelt saw that the crowd was getting bigger and bigger, and he didn't want to stay here longer, so he asked his assistant to remember the name of the restaurant, and returned to the train in a huff, with no intention of continuing to eat.

"Bruce, I'm sorry, I didn't expect them to be so excessive! I've asked my people to go to other restaurants and buy some food, and we'll eat on the train, hell...... I don't have an appetite anymore. ”

"Franklin, this is what we just discussed, and if a restaurant manager in a small town is like this, if it were replaced by Congress, you can imagine how much resistance it will encounter, and this aspect will be a long way to go, and it will be a struggle between yourself and yourself.

But I believe in you, I believe that this phenomenon will be greatly improved through our efforts, of course, it will not happen overnight, and you don't have to worry too much, you see, I am not angry with you as the object of discrimination. ”

Zhou Yu spread out his hands and laughed at himself, while Roosevelt shook his head with a bitter face and said: "It's really a bad experience, I hope there won't be anything like this in Alabama, otherwise I will blame myself very much." ”

Zhou Yu was comforting the other party on the surface, but in fact, he was shouting in his heart, "You blame yourself, the more you blame yourself, the better, I am afraid that you will not be able to repay what you owe me in this life, as long as you can listen to my opinions on some policies in the future, even if I am discriminated against ten or eight times, I will accept it all, and it will not be a loss to let the future president of the New World blame himself." ”

In this way, the atmosphere of the pleasant conversation between the two became a little heavy because of this incident, and Roosevelt obviously lost his interest in joking, and only ate a little before entering the carriage to rest.

At this time, Zhou Yu also returned to his rest carriage and called the cripple of his peers.

"Mr. Zhou, I heard them say that the group of people who don't have long eyes just now didn't let you go in to eat, do you want me to send someone over to teach them some lessons?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "There is no need, these things are likely to become more frequent and intense from today, but we are not worried about being besieged by Franklin's side, what I want to say is to send two clever brothers to get off from this station, collect local intelligence, explore several routes into Mississippi, and report to Alabama after the incident." ”

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, I'll arrange it."

This time, due to Zhou Yu's early explanation, the cripple also brought intelligence officers from the western faces, after all, in the southern states, it will be difficult for you to send a colored-skinned intelligence officer, let alone inquire about any news.

The cripple was ordered to immediately go out of the carriage to arrange manpower, while Zhou Yu looked out the window thoughtfully, and muttered in his heart:

"Now you can still look like you are superior, but I wonder if you will be able to maintain your current mentality when the Great Depression comes?"
