Chapter 306 No One Understands Women's Rights Better Than Me
This is really a job that is suitable for Edith Rockefeller. Evelyn is not suitable in the first place. If Evelyn is asked to do this, she will definitely not do evil intentionally. If she does not do evil, she will not achieve her goal. When Sheffield contracts all the state prisons, they will be empty. Wouldn't it be a shame to cry? How can there be profit without crime?
Natalia is too young. Although her values are very consistent with those of the slave owner, she should not do such things at the beginning. It is not good for her growth in life.
Edith Rockefeller was a grown woman, perfect for this sort of thing, and Sheffield thought it was just right.
But Edith Rockefeller obviously didn't think so, and asked dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you handle this matter yourself and push me, a woman, out."
"Because I envy the life of a lion the most. A male lion only does two things: eating and sleeping with a female lion." Sheffield said proudly, "A real man should live like a lion, eating and sleeping with a woman. A woman is responsible for running a business."
Edith Rockefeller was about to refute the slave owner's shamelessness, but the latter went straight into her arms and snorted, "Edith, I have taken on responsibilities that I shouldn't have to take on at this age. Sometimes I really don't want to work hard anymore."
It's too much of a bully. Free food, free pay, free sleep. What did I think at the beginning? Edith Rockefeller sighed, but the heat in her chest made her breathe faster. When she spoke, her words changed. "You still have to carry the burden forward."
On the second day of moving into Oak Manor, the organizer of the National Woman Suffrage Association's rally in New Orleans formally met the owner of the manor. Edith Rockefeller introduced Sheffield as a nationally renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist who expressed full sympathy for the women's rights movement.
There is nothing wrong with this introduction. Sheffield himself is a famous young entrepreneur. He has built several stadiums to promote happy education. He is also a philanthropist and a member of the Olympic Council. He took the initiative to reach out and get to know several middle-aged women and expressed his friendliness.
In Sheffield's eyes, everything is business, and the feminist movement is certainly business. Fighting for women's suffrage may be true, but this does not hinder the business attributes of the feminist movement. Otherwise, why would you accept donations? You are so great, why not be even greater and carry out activities completely on your own?
Great people exist, but that does not mean great institutions also exist. I wonder what these middle-aged women would think if they knew that their boss was having an underground affair with Edith Rockefeller, the richest woman in the United States and the representative of outstanding women in their eyes, and that he kept two women with unclear relationships on the same estate with Edith Rockefeller's knowledge.
In Sheffield's eyes, the women in front of him were not noble people, but just ordinary business partners. He remembered Emmeline Pankhurst, a British feminist leader who founded the Women's Social and Political Union. In order to arouse the attention of all sectors of society to the women's suffrage movement, the union adopted relatively extreme measures, including sabotage of facilities, arson, suicide, etc.
This kind of behavior is not much different from that of terrorists. Sheffield admires her. She is better than the female boxer on the Internet. At least she really takes action. The slave owner's subsequent conversation will lead in this direction.
"If we want to attract social attention, given the current economic prosperity and the fact that many men do bear the responsibilities of the family, it may not have much influence. So I think in order to inspire the sympathy of most citizens, we must expose the widespread atrocities faced by black women!" The slave owner said righteously, "The benefits of doing so are huge."
"What's the benefit?" a woman who had been listening asked quickly.
"You have chosen a powerful enemy by targeting white men, and it is not easy to succeed because rights and obligations are closely related. If you can expose the widespread violations faced by black women, white men will not be directly threatened. Moreover, white people generally despise black people and have a certain sense of morality, so they are more likely to sympathize with the lowest black women. I would like to add that the marriage rate between whites and blacks is very low, so you are not setting up opponents for yourself."
Sheffield conducted a detailed analysis of the current class. To be honest, most people will not hear this analysis. With his current position in the United States business, he is almost the same as Jack Ma. When he says it is a blessing, it is a blessing. When he says he will lay off employees, it means he is supplying talents to the society. He doesn't even need paper when he takes a shit, and there are many dogs lining up to bootlick him.
"It may sound a bit blunt, but you are actually using the scars of black women to fight for your own right to vote. Don't deny it, this is the fact." Sheffield said, then changed the subject and said, "As long as you follow my plan, I can raise funds for the National Woman's Suffrage Association."
As long as the National Woman's Suffrage Association agreed, Sheffield would complete the rest. He had the KKK to ventilate the area, and he had newspapers to create public opinion. He had Union Enterprises to absorb black women into factories. For trials and rulings, the vested interests of the entire South, the descendants of slave owners, would work together to open up the courts of the southern states, impose heavy penalties for minor crimes, and fill the contracted prisons.
Every link in the interest chain is filled with their own people. Sheffield only needs these feminist pioneers to open the gates of hell for it. If these women can do a good job at the beginning, all the slave owners who come after will do the same.
Then several women talked about the advocacy of the feminist movement. Gender includes equality between men and women throughout their life course, that is, equality between the sexes. It also demands civil and political rights, opposes aristocratic privileges and polygamy, and emphasizes that there is no difference between men and women in intelligence and ability. The most important goal is to strive for the equivalence of family labor and social labor, and the equal value of political rights.
There are several points here that are like poking at the spine of slave owners. How could Sheffield be equal to freemen? Which Roman slave owner wanted to be equal to freemen? And he was actually polygamous, but he didn't make it public. The rest is not a threat to him, but it is quite threatening to ordinary men.
"If we can get some funding, we would be happy to visit the southern states and expose the atrocities against black women." Finally, a woman spoke with some difficulty.
"That's no problem. You should indeed have a deeper understanding of the real situation in the South." Sheffield was filled with heartwarming smiles, and finally it was time to eat.
If this matter is done well, the benefits to the United Company are unimaginable. Just by expanding the prison population by who knows how many times, there is no telling how much profit it can squeeze out. Moreover, this is also in line with Sheffield's ideal of maintaining historical order. Black people themselves are the main force in the prisons of the United States.
Exactly one hundred years later, in the year 2000, the number of black criminals in the United States prisons was nine times that of whites. The black population accounted for 13% of the United States population, but one-tenth of the population created the vast majority of prison inmates. This shows that the crime rate of blacks is at least dozens of times higher than that of whites. Of course, there must be the great United States police who take extra care of blacks, but even so, ten times is still a very remarkable number.
Now all this is fueled by Sheffield, it's just that it happened earlier, which is very consistent with historical materialism. So he didn't do anything intentionally to black people, the crimes against black women did exist, and they were widespread. It's just that no one cared about the real history, and now Sheffield has to pick up the knife that was left in the corner of history and do his own thing.
"I feel sad for these women. With your eloquence, it is too easy to deceive these ignorant women." Edith Rockefeller walked out of the country villa, still thinking of the happy smiles of the women, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
"Don't say that. We each get what we need. I help them fight for voting rights, and they help me solve some Dixie problems. Our cooperation can also save black women from danger. All three parties benefit, and only some real criminals suffer. Isn't this a good thing? They are criminals in the first place, and they should go to prison and be punished."
Sheffield corrected Edith Rockefeller's mistakes, and the two returned to the villa where they lived. He turned around and asked the servant to send over 5,000 US dollars for activity funds, as his support for the activities of these feminist pioneers in the South.
"You say that as if you have good intentions," Edith Rockefeller pouted. "You are not just doing it for free labor, using labor for free in a more aboveboard way."
"No, I'm just simply supporting the women's rights movement. In this era, no one understands women's rights better than me." Sheffield denied it flatly. He was in a good mood and accepted all of Edith Rockefeller's sarcasm without getting angry at all.
It was as if the wonderful prison trust was already waving at her, and she did not forget to tease, "In this matter, I am the mastermind and you are the accomplice, and the feminist movement is a pawn. No one can escape responsibility, so what we are thinking about now is how to do this matter so that no one can find fault with it, instead of ridiculing your man."
"Mr. Jesla, please do me a favor. I will also donate 5,000 US dollars! Please help deliver it." Edith Rockefeller thought about it and looked up at the head of the bodyguards. Her actions showed that she would eventually stand with the slave owner against her conscience.
