reborn in america

"TAH, what's the matter? What happened?" Acheson leaned down and whispered in his ear.

TAH knew his crying, and was a little embarrassed when his friend Acheson saw it.In fact, he does not read books as quickly as Acheson, especially this novel, from the very beginning, seems to be specially written for him.

When he saw the alien Ang and discovered the earth, he triumphantly described this magical land with others. The carbonyl organisms on it are so rich that there are intelligent life, but the technology here is extremely advanced compared to them. Backward, even if he is driving that outdated and tattered spaceship, he can destroy the entire planet.

He inexplicably thought of his ancestors. When Columbus discovered America, was he thinking the same as Ang?Ah, what a vast and fertile land, with stupid and kind aborigines?

They broke in in batches like locusts, took advantage of the kindness of the aborigines to gain a foothold, and then picked up the butcher knife and killed!kill!kill!They offered rewards for the scalps of the aborigines, encouraged the killing of the aborigines, and used weapons that surpassed the aborigines, like hunting, without treating them as the same kind at all.

Regardless of whether they screamed or begged for mercy, they never let them go. Countless aboriginal Indians were killed in batches like this, and female aboriginals were trafficked, abused, and raped. For them, The land that had been bred for thousands of years suddenly became hell.

How similar is this to Earth colonized by aliens?The only difference is that the aborigines and whites are of the same kind, the same kind who have tried their best to help, but they have suffered more cruel treatment.

At least in the eyes of alien civilizations, human beings, a species called carbonyl monkeys, are precious biological resources with great value, and cannot be killed at will. All brutal behaviors require a price.

But what about the whites who invaded America?In their eyes, Indians are the masters, people who need to be wiped out, they need space, resources, and no one can hinder their ambitions, so they kill, crazy killings, all evil desires, in the face of Indians When the aborigines faced this perfect land they called God-given, they all lost control.

Therefore, when TAH saw human beings rebelling against alien civilizations, no matter how passionate and passionate Adam wrote, he always had a clear idea—they would never succeed.

Therefore, when the alien civilization led the army and marched towards the earth in the last chapter, he thought of the earth countless years later, thought of himself, and thought of still being trapped in the Indian aborigines' settlement and lingering alive.

Either be assimilated, or gradually die out, from the tens of millions of tribesmen in the past to only a few hundred thousand now, they are still distributed in various places, isolated from each other, and are occasionally regarded as interesting ethnic groups for viewing, pleasing those who come to play and visit tourists.

Therefore, the moment he closed the book, when he returned to the real world from the world in the novel, when he thought of his ancestors, himself, and his descendants, suddenly he could no longer restrain the emotion in his heart. Sorrowful, she prostrated herself on the table and cried out.

He has always known the humiliation suffered by the Indians, but he only knew about the history of the massacre from the elders in his family and written materials. Although he was also angry, he couldn't empathize with him after all.

However, Adam used his words to make TAH seem to have entered those tragic years, making him at this moment the incarnation of his ancestors 200 years ago, running, screaming and begging for mercy in the brutal killing of white people, although they I also once resisted, just like the people on Earth in the novel, but the ending can be imagined, and the result is only more brutal suppression.

He hated himself, hated that he had actually forgotten or no longer cared about that painful experience under the brainwashing and assimilation of the other party.Maybe hundreds of years later, there will be no more Indians, only assimilated Americans, Americans who have forgotten history and humiliation, and cheered for the descendants of the executioners who exterminated their ancestors.

This is the real sadness he feels, because even though he knows, even if he feels the same at this moment, and the pain is unbearable, but he can't do anything, can't do anything, and even this hatred may not be expressed too much Be clear, otherwise he will enter the FBI's blacklist and be restricted everywhere in his life.

Therefore, when his friend asked him, he concealed the countless anger and hatred in his heart, and just said in a Qi voice: "It's nothing, I just thought of my ancestors."

After finishing speaking, he burst into tears, like a child who has been humiliated. His cry has a little interpretation, but it is more of the true sadness in his heart, so this cry is even more moving.

At this time, everyone present has more or less read the entire book. When they were depressed, they heard crying before they could vent their emotions. When they searched for the source, it was TAH who was always the most silent and quiet.

After Acheson's explanation (mainly because TAH cried too much and couldn't answer at all), everyone understood the reason one after another.

Among them, the black Martin, because of his background, was instilled with the idea that the black ancestors had been oppressed and raped countless times, and that white America needs to apologize for it, so he was furious and said loudly to TAH who was prostrate on the table: " Why are you crying, it's not your fault, it's the bloody white man's fault!"

In fact, the largest number of people in the book club is white people. It can be said that among the thirty or so manpower, there are twenty white people, and then there are six or seven black people, one Indian and two or three yellow people.

However, no white person dared to refute Martin's curse. Maybe it was justified, maybe some Latinos and white descendants of other countries felt that they arrived in the United States in the post-immigrant era, so this original sin has nothing to do with them. Doesn't matter, it doesn't feel wrong anyway.

Even, because they have just escaped from the world of novels, their minds are still shocked by the novel's cruel description of human beings after being colonized, so their hearts are more about Indians and blacks, who are deeply persecuted by white colonialists. feel sympathy.

When the field fell silent for a while, Acheson, who comforted his friend in a low voice, suddenly said loudly: "Should we just stand like this and forget the history that was ruined by colonization? We must do something What!"

This loud roar, like a thunderstorm, woke up the silent crowd. The first person to respond was naturally the black Martin. He slapped Acheson on the shoulder and said, "Well said, we can't just leave like this. Let history be forgotten, we want the government to apologize for the colonization, and apologize to the Indians!"

"Add me!" As a white man, Kohler was the first to respond to Martin's call. At this moment, in his mind, the miserable experiences of the earthlings under the colonization of aliens were all replaced by Indians. The massacred aliens were replaced by white American colonists with the same skin color as his own. He imagined the colonists with the same skin color and similar appearance as himself, cruelly killing the Indians, watching them cry and scream miserably, And then dying, and doing nothing, made him sick.

And until now, the U.S. government still refuses to apologize to the Indians, let alone compensate them. They are the ghost group in the United States. They exist but are deliberately forgotten, because their sins are too serious. Compensation, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it.

But the Indians, how many want compensation, for them, excess wealth does not mean much, all they want is respect and a sincere apology, but who made them a forgotten ethnic group, there is no voice in the parliament , They don't have the right to speak in the media, who cares about their calls?

"Add me!" At this time, TAH, who had been crying for a long time, suddenly stood up, blushing and said: "Maybe I can't go back to the past and relieve the pain of my ancestors, but I want to do it for my ancestors, for our people. Get the respect you deserve!"

"Add me." Seeing TAH expressing to join, Acheson patted TAH's palm without hesitation, and said, "For friendship, justice, and dignity, I will join!"

"I'll join too!" Christina, as the gathering person of this book club, has been hesitating whether to stop or keep silent, but the words of TAH and Acheson made her unable to keep silent, and she walked through the crowd to the middle , slapped Acheson's palm vigorously and said, "For dignity, for justice!"

"For the sake of dignity, for the sake of justice!" Several blacks and minorities who were about to express their views no longer had any scruples. They only felt the blood in their bodies boiling. They raised their palms and said loudly: "I join!"

"I will join too!"

"And I!"

"Hey, don't leave me behind!"

~~~

"How can I be missing! Since you have all joined, then I will naturally join, I am the president of the reading club!" With the final statement of the president of the reading club, Todd, all the members of the reading club joined This is an event for dignity.

"Thank you, thank you!" TAH was moved by everyone's enthusiasm, his eyes were flushed again, and his lips trembled slightly.

"Hey! Bro, I'm not for you, I'm for ourselves, for the dignity of the United States, only when the government truly faces up to that period of history and apologizes for that period of history, then this is the truly great America!" Martin raised his head and said loudly. When he said this, he thought of that great man 30 or [-] years ago. When he made that decision, didn't he think the same way?
