Chapter 275 Everyone is Bob, I have a dream

White Dip Candy reminds you: Please bookmark it after reading it (), it will be more convenient to read it again.

As we all know, the United States is a country of immigrants.

It has also always prided itself on its ethnic inclusiveness and multiculturalism.

Freedom, democracy, full of opportunities...

This is a beautiful illusion created by the upper class and the political elite.

It seems that as long as you reach this land, you can live a better life and start a new life.

But just as sweet dreams are always awakened by the cold reality, bubbles are always burst by the cruel status quo.

Many people from the bottom came here across the ocean, only to discover that the so-called "American Dream" was just a complete lie.

They still work the hardest jobs, receive the lowest wages, and are bullied, ostracized, and regarded as thieves who steal opportunities.

Special environment and special soil can naturally produce different fruits.

In the 60s and [-]s, racial violence was nothing new.

In 1917, conflict broke out in St. Louis.

The cause was that a black driver was speeding and changing lanes at will, and was caught by a white policeman. During the period, there were physical conflicts and violence, triggering a siege.

Then it worsened, intensified, and turned into a fight.

Gunshots rang out, and a black man was shot and fell to the ground, triggering large-scale riots.

Afterwards, the government dispatched [-] National Guard soldiers to suppress the protests in the streets.

During this period, 312 houses were destroyed, 48 people were killed, and more than 100 people were injured.

This was the beginning of the turmoil.

Just two years later, in 1919, the same vicious incident occurred in Chicago, resulting in 38 deaths, 537 injuries, and property damage of more than $200 million.

This wave of racial conflict intensified like a spreading plague, appearing in many cities such as Detroit and New York in the same year.

Therefore, the beautiful scenery of this lighthouse country has actually been repeated many times in history.

Party politics has led to the division of society. The general election held every four years is just a game in which one group of elites replaces another group of elites and takes turns taking charge.

People either choose one asshole they like, or they choose another asshole who doesn't.

What appears to be a democratic choice actually means nothing to minorities and marginalized people.

Therefore, they can only vent their anger every once in a while.

In this way, you can express your dissatisfaction.

For example, in 1916, the black leader DuBos said, "Violence is the most effective way for blacks and other minorities to get rid of white oppression."

This sentence has since been widely recognized by the black community. Every time discrimination is fermented and expanded, they will take to the streets to protest and start "zero dollar shopping" activities.

This situation would not be alleviated until the emergence of black pastor Martin Luther King.

The latter led the non-violent civil rights movement, calling on blacks to march and protest in an organized and systematic manner, rather than simply using violence.

Of course, the above are all explanations of history.

At this point in time, Martin Luther King is still serving as an assistant pastor at a church at Ebenezer Baptist Church.

It was 17 years after he became a black leader and delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech.

However, a rights protection movement involving blacks, ethnic minorities, and marginalized people who have never appeared in history—a gathering of heroes and superstars—is slowly unfolding with great vigor.

"I support Bob! This is a persecution of black people! Those damn bastards! Shit elites in suits and ties, pretending to be big shots, they are trampling on our lives!"

A black man yelled angrily at the camera, and his words were very rhythmic, as if he was singing rap.

"I support Bob too! Being gay is not shameful! We need to be treated right too! Burn those prejudiced guys to death!"

A well-dressed middle-aged man with foundation on his face held a sign.

"Bob is innocent! He is like one of those abused and abandoned animals, unable to resist in the face of human cruelty! He deserves justice!"

A member from the Animal Rescue League said with tears in his eyes and anger.

"Allah bless Bob, he's a good man."

A religious man blessed.

The interview was broadcast on the TV. In just one day, Bob, who was originally unknown, became a household name.

Then, a march that gradually grew in size took place.

Enthusiastically participating people took to the streets, even though they didn’t know Bob and didn’t care about the affirmative action.

But since everyone is doing it, there's no harm in joining in.

In this way, it can also demonstrate the inner sense of justice.

If neighbors or friends ask about it in the future, you can also add a little more conversation material.

As a result, more and more people came to the entrance of the Essex Building in Manhattan.

The surrounding traffic was almost at a standstill, and even the police who came from behind to maintain order and police cars were blocked outside.

Such a battle gave Mr. Omen a headache.

He has always maintained a low profile and avoided appearing in public.

The sudden exposure and being the center of attention left Mr. Omen at a loss.

He called the White House immediately, and the president's private line was connected, and there was an accusing voice from over there——

"What's going on? Nathaniel, I told you, you can capture mutants, but don't make a big deal and cause trouble."

During Kang the Conqueror's brainwashing of the President, Mr. Omen was set to be the latter's best friend and most trustworthy helper.

"I don't know what happened. It's not like a protest march organized by mutants. There are black people, gays, animal protection societies and religious people in the team... I don't understand why they are so excited? This has nothing to do with them. It doesn’t matter at all!”

Mr. Omen expressed confusion. For the guy named Bob, mutant became the most inconspicuous label on him.

"Respond as soon as possible, issue a clarifying statement, and tell New Yorkers through the media that you have nothing to do with this persecution scandal."

The president's thinking was clear and he said solemnly: "Even if a similar incident does happen, Essex Biotech and the government must be unaware of it."

"Everything was left to an outsourced team, and this heinous crime was committed by a...crazy temporary worker."

Mr. Omen silently noted it down, then said a few words before hanging up the phone.

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the crowds of people below, with a hint of coldness at the corner of his mouth.

With government support, official land clearing, and a rally of rabble-rousers, the foundation of Essex Biotech cannot be shaken.

"Hmph, it's a small fight."

Mr. Omen watched the farce with scornful eyes, waiting for its end.

……

……

"This is the beginning."

Luke slowly cut the beef on the plate with a knife and fork, and Howard sat across from him.

"Mr. Omen, and the federal government, have underestimated the problem of racism as a powder keg that can explode with staggering destructive force when ignited."

In the 60s and [-]s, violent racial conflicts in American cities were mainly between blacks and whites.

Its roots lie in the political oppression and economic exploitation of blacks by whites under the historical apartheid system.

This led to the increasingly strong nationalist sentiment among black people in the 50s, which went to extremes.

Robert Williams, the black *** leader who is currently active in major cities, has long made his position clear——

"We cannot tolerate those who treat us unfairly in court. We must punish them. If lynching is necessary to curb lynching, then we are willing to do so."

"Our only logical and successful answer is to respond to large-scale organized violence with large-scale organized violence..."

"Molotov cocktails, lye and sulfuric acid bombs are all widely available, and the self-defense war of ethnic minorities will surely win."

The above are the opinions expressed by the black leader.

In fact, before the emergence of Martin Luther King, every so-called "leader" advocated showing "black power" through violence.

The simple and crude way not only conforms to the way of thinking of black people, but also can quickly accumulate popularity.

"Are you going to turn this farce into an equal rights movement?"

Howard realized that Luke wasn't just trying to win publicity and drive Essex Bio into the dust.

"How is it possible? I don't intend to be a public opinion leader, nor do I want to win votes - even if I do, it will be to unite the white elite. They are the votes every president needs."

Luke shrugged and chuckled: "I just exposed the problems in this country for everyone to see."

"Cleveland, New York, Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia and Miami...there are incidents of minority conflicts almost every year."

"Blacks, Palestinians, Hispanics... ultra-nationalism is starting to spread."

"Bob was the trigger, and the mutants were the excuse, and they would ignite people's anger, and then Essex Bio became the target."

Howard was thoughtful, looking in the direction of the Essex Building through the glass window.

The night is getting darker, but the flow of people gathered continues unabated.

Someone had even begun to give a speech, and it was Robert Williams, the black leader who advocated violence.

To sum up his hoarse and passionate speech.

The general idea is that black people need equal rights and a legal status that does not allow them to be discriminated against, treated differently, or exploited and persecuted.

The focus is on more jobs, better education, and the ability to run for president—the last one being the key.

"I just put a man named Bob into the public eye. He has many labels attached to him. Those who have interests will use labels related to themselves to carry out some...activities."

Luke wiped the corners of his mouth. Robert Williams might be the first to stand up, but he would not be the last.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before a gay man from Chicago started speaking out.

She is a woman who speaks out about the disadvantages of the gay community while calling for women’s rights——

"This incident made me so angry that I was shaking all over. On a hot day, I was sweating all over my body, and my hands and feet were cold. Can this country get better?"

"As a female and gay, how can I satisfy those 'mainstream people' with my life? Society is full of discrimination and injustice against us. When can marginalized people like me really stand up?"

Upon hearing this, the woman who was originally responsible for eating melons immediately joined the protest march.

The crowd outside was unconsciously divided into different circles.

"I only have one question."

Howard observed for a while and then looked away.

"How did you find that... Bob?"

Luke smiled slightly and replied, "He doesn't exist."

"To be precise, there is a guy named Bob. He is an Ypsilon-level mutant, which is the kind with genetic defects."

"He was captured by Essex BioCorporation last week and died in the laboratory."

"But this Bob is not a homosexual, even though he once hung out with a few hippies, he is not an animal rights activist, even though he has raised a rabbit, and he is not a religious person..."

"Those are actually not important. The key is that he drinks alcohol, takes drugs, and degenerates himself. He is at the bottom of society."

Howard seemed to understand and frowned: "Bob represents the bottom, those struggling in the mud, they will resonate with this image."

"bingo."

Luke snapped his fingers and smiled: "Even if Mr. Omen investigates thoroughly and tells the truth, it won't be useful."

"People will blame Bob's fall on this country's policies, white people's discrimination against black people, the mainstream's rejection of gays, and the elite's persecution of marginalized people..."

"Why? Because Bob represents them."

Howard was stunned for a few seconds before saying, "That's why you didn't involve Captain Rogers."

"That's right. Struggles, games, the rules of these games are actually at the lower limit of competition, and people like Steve can't adapt to it."

Luke nodded and stood up.

"Bob already has so many supporters, it's time for the mutants to appear."

If this protest was limited to mutants and large companies, it would be impossible to cause such a sensation.

"For Bob, for justice!"

In front of Essex Tower, a mutant stood on the steps.

Through his power, like a trumpet, he spreads his voice far.

Then, he rushed through the security-blocked door.

Next, a dozen more people behaved similarly.

Their actions caused a commotion among the crowd.

Like a surging wave, they crowded through the door of Essex House.

"Superman appears and stops the riot. This is the last scene."

Luke witnessed the commotion that was getting worse and was about to get out of control. He walked to the balcony and stood up.

He flew straight to Mr. Omen's office. The floor-to-ceiling windows were melted by the high temperature, and strong winds poured in.

Facing the other party's frightened eyes, Luke whispered: "My time is limited, so I won't give you the chance to leave a last message this time."

He took a step forward and the whole building shook.

The terrifying aura was like a mountain and a tsunami, pressing on Mr. Omen.

Before he could say anything, his whole body exploded into a ball of rotting flesh and blood.

"It's Superman!"

"He is back!"

"..."

The crowded crowd saw the tall figure standing high in the sky.

The dark red cloak flutters like a flag.

Luke's appearance suddenly stopped the riot that was heading out of control.

A gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Nathaniel Essex, he confessed to his crimes. He hurt you, he hurt Bob, and he got the punishment he deserved."

"100 years ago, a great American signed..."

A loud and powerful voice echoed.

"I Have a Dream" began to sing.
