Chapter 305 Killing Two Birds with One Stone
"Boss, if all major companies do this, will there be too few black women and black men will harm white women?" Jesla heard Sheffield's idea and said with some concern, "There might be problems."
If only the cigarette factory of United Company did this, it would not be a big problem, but he could clearly see that Sheffield was preparing to let all the allies of United Company do this, which would have a huge impact.
"Since you have been following me for so long, I will not hide it from you. To tell you the truth, yes, it will. If the needs of black men are not met, the probability of crime will increase. But, I run a prison!" Sheffield showed his white teeth, and it was obvious that he had figured out the ins and outs of this problem. "The guns in the hands of us Dixies are not fire sticks. If black people dare to do this, they will die. Don't blame us for being cruel. We put black women into factories, and black men will not be able to find tools to give birth to children. If they can't give birth to children, the population will decrease. If black people give birth to their first child at the age of 25 and white people give birth to their first child at the age of 20, we can buy five years."
If a crime occurred against a white woman, Sheffield could say without hesitation that if one occurred, at least a dozen black men's lives would be lost. In the early twentieth century, the southern states still attached great importance to this issue.
With more and more similar cases, the KKK will gain more influence. Sheffield still has a very good relationship with the KKK. In fact, no matter from any angle, interracial marriage in the United States is not serious, even after 120 years. It is not ruled out that some men or women have strong tastes and want to find excitement, but when it comes to getting married, they have to think twice.
As for this era, considering that there are always idiots in the group, there is no guarantee that white women will not be seduced by black people, but this probability is only theoretical. Perhaps there will be more interracial marriages in the northern states, which is the territory of the Yankees and has nothing to do with Sheffield.
It would be even better if something happened, as private prisons are still short of people. Once they enter prison, Sheffield will guarantee to support these criminals for life, until they can no longer work.
"McHale has gone to Los Angeles. Call Gail over to me. We need to inform our partners about this matter to ensure the overall interests of all Dixie people." After hearing that the boss had explained everything clearly, Jessla went out to contact the contact without saying a word.
Sheffield put his hands on his waist and said self-indulgently, "Sometimes I feel that I am really a genius. Even if I were thrown into South Africa 40 years later, I would have the confidence to turn the world around."
"Will this work?" Gail came to Oak Manor with a reluctant look on his face. Gail's own company is an international trading company, and physical strength is not very important. However, when he heard that black people were going to be used, he felt a little unhappy instinctively.
"I've thought about it for a long time. This may be the only way to solve the problem of the entire southern states." Sheffield flicked the ash from his cigarette and smacked his lips. "We have to choose between male and female black people. If we have an opportunity like the Panama Canal project, we will definitely choose men. But it's not possible in China. Our Dixie companies must first ensure the employment of men and absorb black men as workers. We can't say that not even one can be used, but we can never use them on a large scale, otherwise others will be dissatisfied."
"Absorb black women into factories, cigarette factories? Textile factories? Farms? You want to divide the black male and female groups!" Seeing Sheffield nod, Gail asked the same question as Jesla, "There are too few black women in society. What should black men do? Hold it in? Something bad might happen!"
"You want to do everything without paying a price? Why don't you try to negotiate with the blacks and tell them directly that the plantation economy has collapsed and we don't need you anymore. Please go back to Africa and don't even want to pay for a boat ticket. It's best if you swim back and die at sea. Do you think you can succeed?"
Sheffield pointed to another country villa not far away and said to Gail, "Do you know what Edith Rockefeller is doing there? She is meeting with organizers of the women's rights movement. Women now want the right to vote. Does that include black women? Black women will also have the right to vote in that time. Who says they can't achieve their goals in ten or twenty years? Time is running out for us slave owners."
"Okay, I can't convince you, so let's do it!" Gale gritted his teeth and said, "I can do it, but you still need to prepare your arguments and persuade other alliance companies. Think about how to say no."
"It looks like I have to give lectures again!" Sheffield put his hands on his hips and muttered with a stern face, "But I have to do this."
In fact, it is not difficult. In fact, in most civilizations, women are more resilient than men. The so-called female boxers in various countries in later generations are not worthy of them. This is not wrong in all countries.
If black women are guaranteed stable jobs, their standards will be higher and they will naturally be critical of average black men. They may even have a dream of marrying a white man in the future. Even if they are unsuccessful, they can carefully select for a few years, become left-over women, and get married in their thirties, which can solve a large part of the problem.
Sheffield discovered this problem after analyzing the economic foundation of the United States. First of all, women are definitely easier to control than men. The absorption of black women has improved their horizons and economic foundation, and they may not necessarily be interested in idle black people. After absorbing black women into factories, major companies must also ensure that black men are not given employment opportunities.
In this way, black men will fall to the bottom of the United States, and there will be only two paths before them: stay in the South and be bootlickers, or go to the North to try their luck. Either way can reduce the black problem.
"By the way, when you contact major companies, ask them if they contract local prisons. If ten years is not possible, five years will be fine." Sheffield stopped Gail and begged for help in a very humbly manner.
"You've even thought of a prison for black criminals?" Gale felt a chill and said with an unbearable expression, "You're not much different from the devil."
"How do you talk to your partner? You and I are both slave owners, but you talk as if you are an angel!" Sheffield curled his lips in disdain, but still asked Gail to inquire about the issue. His dream of a prison trust had never stopped for a moment.
On the other side, Edith Rockefeller also came out of the country villa and returned to Sheffield's villa. As soon as she entered the door, Sheffield asked, "What's going on?"
"Let me donate? What else can I do?" Edith Rockefeller's eyes flashed with contempt. "Who knows what they will do with the money and how it will be spent in the end."
"You refused? Actually, you don't have to refuse so directly. Just promise me two things. Donations are not a problem. It's also not a problem for me to pay for these feminist leaders." Sheffield said with a smile, "The first thing is to let women smoke during the parade. They want women's cigarettes produced by my tobacco company. The second thing is..."
"I have already talked to several women's rights organizers and said that smoking can be used as a symbol of resistance to gender inequality. They said they would consider it!" Edith Rockefeller urged, "What is the second one? Tell me."
"Secondly, if we divide the citizens of the United States into several levels, men are indeed stronger than women. If we divide them by race, whites are much stronger than blacks. So black women should be at the bottom of the social ladder in the United States, living the most difficult lives. Doesn't the feminist movement care about this? Maybe they really don't care, but this is a very good opportunity to firmly stand on the moral high ground. Sympathize with the weak and sympathize with the weakest, right?"
Sheffield's face was full of compassion, his voice was heavy, and he gradually got to the point and said, "It can't be said that the majority of black people have no family concept. They neither get married nor form families. You are a Yankee, so you don't understand the morals of black men as well as we Dixie people. Since there is no marriage and no family, and the population size is still expanding, guess, will there be a lot of crimes against black women in this process?"
"Hmm? Not necessarily?" Edith Rockefeller vaguely guessed Sheffield's purpose, but did not dare to say it out loud. Did the slave owner want to use the feminist movement to do things for himself?
"I want to take the women's rights movement to the southern states and expose the abuses against black women. But I'm not ready yet. I have to wait until I get the prison contracting rights in each state." Sheffield said, "If the National Woman Suffrage Association and the United Company will continue to support women until they get the right to vote, I will support them as many years as the struggle takes."
"You want to put black people in jail?" Edith Rockefeller understood what Sheffield meant.
"It's about putting criminals in jail! Those being rescued are also black women. What a great opportunity this is to occupy the moral high ground. Wouldn't it be better to lock up those criminals for five to ten years?" Sheffield corrected Edith Rockefeller's dangerous idea without changing his expression. This is not directed at black people. Those being rescued are also black people, and they are women, a vulnerable group among the black people. It is simply unparalleled political correctness.
How could it be said so nicely? Edith Rockefeller had slept with this slave owner so many times, and she still didn't know what this person was thinking. When he said nothing was wrong, it was wrong. When he said something was wrong, it was a big deal. She was a little scared and said, "You're not going to take advantage of the trouble to kill all the black people, are you?"
"What are you thinking about? It's the 20th century!" Sheffield looked at Edith Rockefeller helplessly. Who would dare to do such a thing that would incur public outrage? However, it is inevitable that any grassroots movement will eventually expand.
The social nature of the black community is not very high, so whether informing on others would become a common practice is something the slave owners had no idea about. It was all done by the feminists.
