reborn in america

"Hey! Are you scared?" Acheson turned his head and asked TAH who was sitting silently in the bus.

TAH raised his head and looked at his friend, shook his head, and said with a smile: "No, I'm very happy, no matter what the result of the parade we organize this time, it will make the whole of the United States pay attention to us. I'm already very satisfied, so I don't feel any pressure now."

"I hope." Acheson nodded, and patted TAH on the shoulder. He is from Texas, and he is a true Texas redneck. After letting his father know about the trip last time, he was scolded by him One pass, ordering him not to continue to participate.

Naturally, Acheson would not agree. He resolutely rejected his father's proposal on the phone, and got into an argument with him. In the end, they broke up.Even so, he never thought that his actions were wrong, not just for his good friend TAH, of course, maybe it was like this at the beginning, but when he looked at the bloody and cruel reports and records, he didn't Then just support the whole event for your friends.

He supports this activity because he believes that it is correct and necessary. A great America must not only show its brilliance to the world, but also see the shadows of the past. Only in this way can the United States continue to be great.

This time they traveled hundreds of miles before finally reaching the capital. After several applications, and finally with the support of a member of parliament, they obtained the official permission for this parade, and they were able to proceed properly. activities.

"Hey! It's time, everyone should go down and get ready. Our parade will officially start at ten o'clock." Just when Acheson was thinking, a familiar female voice sounded, it was Christina, and she called everyone to get off the car , because the time for swimming and traveling is coming soon.

The people in the car patted each other's shoulders, smiled and encouraged each other and got off the bus. This time they came here with the same idea. They hoped to wake up the United States and let the government agree to their request.

……

So, on April 1993, [-], through the efforts of the members of the Adam Baker Reading Club, there were more than [-] cities in nearly ten states in the United States, including California, New York and other large states. The activity is officially started.

It has to be said that this fire that has been brewing for a long time has ignited vigorously. The demonstrators, mainly ethnic minorities, held high the banner of "For dignity! For justice! For America to be greater!" They expressed their desire to seek justice for the painful experience of their ancestors, and protested for the dignity and freedom of minorities in the United States.

Among them, blacks are the dominant ones, and Latinos and Asians have also joined in. The original fuse is that the number of Indians is too small, and because they have been suppressed too much for a long time. I have always been skeptical of the US government, so among the hundreds of thousands of people marching and protesting, there are only a few hundred people.

However, even so, TAH, as a representative of the Indians, did not keep quiet like his tribe, but delivered a speech "for dignity" on the day of the Washington parade.

Standing among tens of thousands of people, facing countless live media, TAH knew that what he said would be spread to the whole of the United States in the first time, and then to the whole world, so every word, even every word of him All matter to the Indians.

For this speech, he wrote dozens of manuscripts, from radical to sad, each version has been revised countless times, and finally turned into the current slightly moderate speech, but the road is always step by step, he Fighting for the rights and interests of one's own people also needs to be paved slowly. Only when he accumulates enough energy and strength can his words have enough weight to make people listen and pay attention.

He picked up the microphone, feeling trembling all over his body, and his blood began to roar.He opened his mouth and didn't speak yet, but all the emotions burst out in an instant one step ahead of him, making him have an inexplicable feeling of wanting to cry.

How many years, how many years has it been, the Indians can finally face the whole world and make their voices, even if they cannot really express their true emotions in order to take into account certain groups and influences, but it has been hundreds of years The first voice, the real voice, is invaluable.

"Our tens of millions of ancestors have lived on this God-given land for generations. We welcome all the people who come to live in this land. We give them all the help we can have. We hope this is A land of eternal freedom and joy.

However, we who are kind have suffered the cruelest massacre...

I said this not to pursue anyone's crimes. The past is past after all, and it is meaningless to pursue it. I participated in this parade today, just hoping that our great America can admit the crimes he has committed. Only by acknowledging those crimes and sincerely apologizing for them.Then, a brand new and greater America can truly stand in this world. "

TAH's words won the cheers and support of everyone present, because what TAH said was the main idea of ​​most of the pedestrians who participated in the parade, and his words also represented all the silent Indians. In today's United States, when they regain their land, a sincere apology and preferential treatment are all their expectations.

He gestured several times and bowed, thanking those who marched and walked with him. Without their participation, there would be no such grand parade and parade, and it would be impossible to fight for the rights and interests of Indians. and recognition.

Then he walked off the high stage with red eyes, and hugged his friend Acheson who was standing under the stage, "You are so good! TAH, I am so proud of you."

"Thank you, thank you Acheson." Feeling the sincere words of his friend, TAH was inexplicably moved. Although the two had different skin colors and different ethnicities, and he even knew how conservative Acheson's family was, but for their friendship However, Acheson still insisted on walking with him all the way, which made him feel grateful for this rare friendship.

After TAH finished his speech, Martin, as the backbone of the event, stepped onto the stage and delivered his well-prepared speech:

"More than a year ago, the Soviet government announced its dissolution. Since then, the most horrific cold war on this planet has officially ended! We no longer have to worry about the day when nuclear bombs will fly overhead, and all of us will be able to breathe fresh air and cheer for peace The final arrival. Since then, our United States of America has finally become the most powerful and great country in the world.

We have the world's most powerful aircraft, the most submarines and aircraft carriers, and we even conquered the moon!But are these the reasons why America is great?No!In my heart, the reason why the United States is great is because it is a collection of immigrants from all countries and ethnicities in the world. We are here to work hard and fight for the American dream in our hearts. Here we can enjoy freedom and equality without Worried about being raped and persecuted!

So, America is great!

But America wasn't born great.In these hundreds of years, our ancestors spent countless blood and battles in exchange for today's America.

We once fought against the great empire on which the sun never sets, and finally gained independence; we once launched the Civil War, and we did not hesitate to kill and injure millions, just to liberate the serfs; we supported equal rights for blacks, women, and LGBT. Speak for all disadvantaged groups, speak for the rights of all, we fight for the rights of all Americans living on this land, that's why we have today's America, the great America.

A great America, able to bear the greatest praise, but also the darkest and unbearable history, the heaviest sin!

We want to move forward, we want the United States to be greater, we want freedom and equality to spread from our country to the whole world, we must first cast aside the sins that have been committed for hundreds of years, this is Why we have this parade, that's why we came to this place.

So, for the dignity of all Americans!For the justice in my heart!Also for the greatness of America! "

Martin's words were cheered by tens of thousands of people in the entire parade. Together with Martin, they shouted the last sentence loudly: "For the dignity of all Americans! For the justice in their hearts! And for the justice in their hearts! America can be even greater!", the voice resounded through the sky, making people's blood run wild.

NBC, ABC, CBS and the newly promoted FOX TV station, the four largest TV networks in the United States, paid close attention to this event and made follow-up broadcasts.In [-] to [-] cities, hundreds of thousands of parades and pedestrians walked along the established roads, with an astonishing momentum, quite like black people fighting for equal rights decades ago.

But in the end, it's just the surface.The black affirmative movement at the beginning, although a lot of credit was attributed to Martin Luther King, who had great personal charm and powerful talking ability.

But in the final analysis, the success of the black affirmative movement was mainly due to the fact that blacks accounted for as high as 30.00% of the population in American society at that time, and had a population that could affect the entire society.

Second, at that time, the international situation was in the Cold War period when the United States and the Soviet Union were competing for hegemony. Faced with the strong pressure from the Soviet Union, the United States could only choose to appease the intensified affirmative-rights movement in the country if it did not want the country to be in turmoil.

Third, the United States was in the quagmire of the Vietnam War in the 60s. The long-term and endless Vietnam War made the American society as a whole disappointed with the country, and was not too optimistic about the future. Therefore, the entire United States at that time was spreading The idea of ​​freedom and instant gratification, hippies, women's rights, black equality and even the Stonewall movement were all in that era.

Therefore, blacks were able to win equal rights in the past, but now they are shouting loud slogans and holding the banner of "for dignity! For justice! For a greater America!", but after all, it is nothing more than a small fight.

Today, the United States in the 90s has just defeated the Soviet Union. It can be said to be extremely powerful. All countries have to kneel in front of it and dare not act without authorization. In just a dozen years, it launched the Gulf War, the Somali War, the Kosovo War, The war on terror in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq as we all know it.

In addition, the United States also hit Japan, which was catching up economically, and plunged it into a vortex of loss that could not get up for decades. The economy plundered the entire Asia, causing Asia, including the so-called four tigers, to be scattered all over the place for a while.

Therefore, the seemingly mighty and extremely lively protests ended with the US government not making any tendentious remarks. The marches and marches that represented justice even caused riots in some cities.Instead, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries took advantage of this trend to issue apologies to the aborigines and proposed compensation resolutions.

Not reconciled, Martin and others wanted Adam to stand up and shout for him in the name of the author of the novel. However, Adam had already guessed the final result of this event, so he refused the invitation on the excuse that he was concentrating on writing a book. dragged into this hopeless activity.

Adam is well aware of his current self. Although he is being highly sought after by various newspapers and media, he has been given honors and praises that most writers in the world do not have, as if Adam is already the greatest writer on the entire planet.

However, Adam himself is extremely sober. Although his novels have achieved great success in terms of sales, that’s all. In terms of professional reputation, the just-published “Colonies” is the most recognized among his novels. Therefore, its status is not as high as that of the media.

In addition, even after several novels have been successful and sold tens of millions, they still cannot compare with those top stars in the entertainment industry in terms of fame and income. The only advantage is that he is a writer. Just a little higher.

There are countless superstars who have been played to death by capital and media in history. The most famous one is MJ. In addition, Tom cruise was hacked several times because his hand stretched too far, which affected the interests of some people. He almost couldn't stand up , Compared with them, Adam's advantage is nothing more than having one more media to stand for him.

His ability and strength are still relatively weak, so at present, he can only develop himself silently, unless one day he can reach the level where a certain industry in the United States catches a cold when he sneezes, and Adam will only participate in politics at that time confidence.

The author has something to say: Hey, this paragraph is over for the time being, and a new plot will follow.
