[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

Whether it's the lawyer, or Marge, or the southern white people in Cherry Blossom Villa behind Marge, their anger can't compare with the black people's anger.

During the public trial, although the number of black people was small, and they were all sitting in the last row, they were not allowed to speak. Some of them stood up because they couldn't control their temper, and were kicked out of the court by the guards maintaining order.But some people persisted.

Soon, on the day of the public trial, the conversation in the courtroom immediately spread throughout Atlanta, and all the black people in Atlanta knew about it.

Big Sam is not only tall, but also has a big temper.

Because he was too tall, his application was not approved, and he was not able to enter the court to attend the hearing. In addition, the prophet had made an agreement with Sam and those black people who were qualified to listen, so until the public trial was over and the prophet returned, Sam These black people are still sitting in the small room - of course, their temper is definitely not very good.

When the prophet opened the small door of his house, what he saw was a room full of black people on the verge of rage.

The first sentence the prophet said before entering the house was: "The trial is over, 15 years in prison."

15 years in prison?

Blacks are just like whites, some are simple, some are complicated, some are naive, and some become smooth after experiencing the world.However, whether they are white or black, they are very clear about the unfair treatment of black people in this era, and they are even used to it.

Although it is not that there are no extreme blacks who insist on blood debts, but for most blacks, this is already a long sentence that is impossible to imagine.

Just like what the defense lawyer said, not only in the south, but also in the north: many blacks in the north were bullied by whites, and many blacks died on the streets without anyone caring about them. It is true that there is no legal responsibility for killing black slaves, but not many people actually do so.

Much or little, one thing is certain: Black rights are not much guaranteed.

Before that, the blacks thought that the two whites would come out after being fined at most.None of them thought that these two people would really get fixed-term imprisonment, and it was still 15 years!

This is something black people have never dared to imagine.

Looking at such compatriots, the Prophet raised the corner of his mouth slightly:

"In addition, Ms. Marge filed a complaint against the defense lawyers in court, arguing that the two defense lawyers were not familiar with the laws of the federal government at all and were not qualified to be criminal lawyers. The judge also agreed with this and filed the case in court."

Sam hasn't reacted yet: "What, what do you mean?"

"It means that these two Yankees can't be lawyers, at least in Georgia, they can't practice it."

There was a sudden silence in the room, and then "Woo! Long live!"

In fact, the blacks themselves are very clear about how cruel this era is to blacks, and how insecure blacks are in this era.Punishment of the two murderers was already one of the few demands of the black people, but they never thought that the law would punish the two Yankee lawyers.

The original plan of the black man was to find an opportunity to beat up these two Yankees in the future!

However, now that the Georgia law has vented their anger for them, the blacks decided to abandon this plan after discussion.

the reason is simple.Although angry and helpless at the reality, the blacks knew very well that this was the best that their young lady had won for them.If they choose to attack white people, it must be their young lady who is in trouble in the end.

Neither the Prophet nor Sam wanted to embarrass Margo and Suellen.

However, the white people were very annoyed, not to mention the northern whites, even the southern whites thought that Margot was really messing around—if those two whites deserved what they deserved for killing innocent blacks and ostentatiously showing off, then because the lawyer mentioned A few words of old southern customs were complained, and she was about to be disqualified as a lawyer (I don’t know if there was such a saying in that era, but it was like this anyway), and many people felt that Marg was too partial to those blacks.

Many northern white wives said this in public: "For two blacks! Is Mrs. Clark crazy?"

There were not one or two people who said such things, but none of them reached the ears of Margot and Suellen, because Melanie and the southern white ladies united first to suppress this kind of public opinion.

Mrs. Meade once said: "Isn't it just to stir up dissatisfaction with black people? We really don't know that as long as one of us agrees with them, they will go around telling others that we look down on black people, hate black people, etc. Wait. Yes, what I want to say is that in other states, the Ku Klux Klan did a lot of crimes and killed a lot of black people. But that's because those black people were incited to bully their wives, sisters and daughters! There's no one behind the scenes, so white southerners are cornered to take up guns. But in Georgia, in Atlanta, no black man has ever been motivated to commit a crime like this -- yes, in Georgia , Forcing women is also a criminal case. If you are caught, you will be sentenced to three years in prison-and Atlanta's laws are also very fair, just like this case. Atlanta's laws are to protect every Georgian citizen. As long as black People do not break the law, they can also enjoy the protection of the law..."

Although it is just to prevent people from provoking the relationship between blacks and southern whites, although the reality of this society is to discriminate against blacks, but if there are too many lies, they will become the truth.

The black riots that were about to move just about disappeared like this.

Of course, this is inseparable from the housing welfare subsidies for black people.

In Atlanta, the salary level of blacks is indeed lower than that of whites. This is because blacks are uneducated, so the base salary is lower than that of whites, and many jobs require the ability to write and count. These blacks can’t meet the requirements, so the jobs In terms of wages, blacks are still lower than whites.However, blacks generally enjoy housing benefits, especially in the real estate industry environment where housing prices in Atlanta remain high. Housing benefits have far exceeded the wage gap between blacks and whites.

In this case, too, the two black victims are rare wealthy people in the black group, and they have enjoyed the benefits of land appreciation in the prosperity of Atlanta's real estate industry.

This is also an important reason for the killing intent of the two white men.

The black|riot|riot disappeared without a trace, but the dissatisfaction of the white people was also reflected.

Soon after, there were protests from people who thought they were also working for Magsuellen, why did black people get housing benefits and they didn't?

Many whites responded, even southern whites were ready to move.

The author has something to say: It got stuck, especially the paragraph about the reaction of black people after the verdict was rewritten.Freedom and equality, the idea of ​​being equal to whites, most blacks at that time did not have it.
