Chapter 639 I Hate Traitors the Most
FBI agents rummaged through boxes and cabinets like vicious dogs out of a cage sniffing out possible stench, turning the NAACP upside down. The staff of the NAACP were beaten and kicked if they showed any resistance. The FBI's first deployment achieved a stunning effect.
Konstantinovich, the director of the FBI, stood there without saying a word, looking at the building.
"Chief, we found it!" Konstantinovich came back to his senses with an ecstatic shout. He hurriedly said, "Bring me the evidence!" His voice was very urgent. He was waiting for this good news. At the same time, he did not forget to shout, "Search carefully for me. Don't miss any clues."
"A ghost, the ghost of communism..." Konstantinovich took a look and quickly closed the book.
Then some fragments, even very crude pieces of paper about black people should have their own political party, were found in the corner. This could not even be called evidence. But in this environment, it was more convincing than any evidence, and the director of the FBI could come up with a very terrible truth.
It is enough to be plausible. Some things do not need evidence at all, just like the Dreyfus spy case that tore the whole French society apart. The French military intelligence agency planted a spy in the German Embassy in Paris. The spy was a Bastia woman who was almost illiterate and worked as a maid in the embassy. The German military attaché von Schwartz used his official position to engage in espionage. He was used to tearing up documents and materials and throwing them into the wastebasket, and then asking the staff to burn them.
The Bastia woman picked up the torn documents and materials and handed them over to the French Intelligence Agency. She provided the French Intelligence Agency with a fragment of an important document, a letter to von Schwartz, which had no date or signature, and contained several intelligence reports about the French army. A French officer betrayed his country and sold secret documents to Germany.
Dreyfus himself was a Jew and was not trusted by the mainstream of European countries, just like black people are not trusted now, and Das Kapital was found in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
In the social movement triggered by the Dreyfus case, French prominent figures split into two factions, one demanding domestic reforms, and the other becoming staunch anti-Semites and launching attacks on Jews in various places. Even now, French society has not calmed down, and it seems destined to enter the world war in this state.
As the source of Capital, Sheffield understood better than anyone what could unite the monopoly capitalists of the entire United States. Once this thing was announced by Konstantinovich, coupled with the words of the pure black party, the true face of the monopoly bourgeoisie would be exposed.
At the same time as the FBI raided the headquarters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the retaliation that had been suppressed for several days finally began. The KKK members wrapped in robes easily crossed the police blockade and attacked the rally initiated by Du Bois.
The intensive gunfire knocked the protesters to the ground. The sudden change shocked everyone. Many people didn't know whether the police attacked them or for some other reason. Only some people on the periphery saw the white robes of the KKK.
At the same time, the KKK members who rushed into New York's largest black community also started their killing spree.
The whole of New York was filled with the sound of gunfire, and people were running everywhere. These people were undoubtedly captured by armed police, and any sign of resistance would be a direct result of seeing God.
As for the New York City area, the State Police are entering the city from all over, trying to restore order in the Big Apple. The State Police militia has been welcomed by many New Yorkers.
New York was in a precarious situation that day. Gunshots became the theme of the day. Even in Sheffield, there were several black marchers fleeing for their lives. Jesla originally wanted to shoot these people directly, but these blacks reacted quickly and lay on the ground begging for mercy.
"Let them live!" Sheffield said in a very high-handed manner after listening to the report from the bodyguard leader. "In fact, they did nothing wrong. It's just that you need a whetstone to sharpen your knife. Things have already broken out. There's no point in killing a few more people."
Jesla nodded and asked the evading blacks to hide temporarily. Outside, a large number of police were conducting arrests throughout the city. As for the black community? No one knew what was happening now.
"Don't you think this is strange?" Sheffield did not hide the conversation between him and Konstantinovich from Alice Roosevelt. She certainly knew that her man had planned this matter from beginning to end, and now he had a change of heart and took in a few poor black people.
"This is your first day meeting me. Don't you know that I only do things that are beneficial to me and I don't have any stance?" The gunshots continued intermittently, but Sheffield ignored them and said as if nothing had happened, "I want to do this. It doesn't conflict with saving a few people, and staying here won't hinder anything."
"The black community itself is weak." Alice Roosevelt sighed softly, "I have been trying my best to understand your thoughts. After all, you are my man, but no matter how I try to understand, I feel that you are bullying the weak."
"You are a flower in a greenhouse, of course you can't understand. Do you know why there are no marches and protests in the South? The black people in the South know that if they do so, we will really suppress them. The Dixie people know that the black people will not resist, and the black people also know that resistance will be suppressed. They know what we think, and we know what they think, so we live in peace." Sheffield let Alice Roosevelt sit on his lap and explained, "The United States was a slave country at the beginning. You deny this."
"Slavery lasted until fifty years ago, and all laws, economics, and social operations before that were influenced by slavery. Since the founding of this country, all social rules have been made by white people. Even the Civil War was essentially a struggle between white factory owners and white farmers for the right to make rules. Although it objectively expanded the rights of black people, black people did not participate in the process of making new rules. Therefore, as soon as the Civil War ended, white people continued to enslave black people through Jim Crow laws."
"The police system was already in operation before the Civil War. You could say it was part of the system before the Civil War. Are you going to dismantle it? The police have to deal with citizens who have guns. Enforcement is already difficult. Are you going to let them catch criminals with guns with their bare hands? To deal with criminals with guns, the police must give them better guns and more accurate marksmanship to protect citizens."
"Can't we just ban guns? I see. This requires another law amendment." Alice Roosevelt said angrily.
"Amending the law is actually a small matter. I will stop anyone from proposing it. Isabella Sheffield is the vice president of the Rifle Association, and my family still wants to sell guns. Although we have already taken this little profit into consideration, we cannot give up." Sheffield rested his chin on Alice Roosevelt's shoulder and spoke word by word, "We must keep making money and make our business bigger and bigger."
"As for the issue of black people, every Dixie knows one thing in their heart. The biggest problem of the United States is black people. Racial conflict will come sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. It's better than pretending not to see it. Solve this problem now while it's not a big problem. It will be good for the country."
This is the basic logic of white supremacists in the United States. Since slavery has existed, we cannot pretend that it never happened. The reason why black people are docile now is simply that they are unable to resist. The conflict will intensify one day, and we cannot wait until black people are ready.
"Do you think that if this continues, sooner or later the blacks will retaliate against the era of slavery?" Alice Roosevelt asked with some disbelief.
"What do you think, my little cutie?" Sheffield moved Alice Roosevelt's body over and pulled the woman's cheek with a grimace. "Do you think black people are so stupid that they can forget about the slave trade?"
In fact, you don't need to look at anything, just look at the United States a hundred years later. Are blacks the lowest-ranking race in the United States? In fact, not at all, the yellow race is the lowest-ranking. Discrimination against blacks is racial discrimination, and no one says anything when blacks discriminate against yellows. Blacks only fight for their own rights, but they also support whites in dividing other ethnic groups.
Since black people can discriminate against yellow people, then one day when they are strong enough, won’t they muster up the courage to go against white people?
"Whether black people want to resist or fight for their rights, it is their right. But if white people want to use this incident to harm the interests of all white people and gain political influence, this is a traitorous act. I hate traitors the most!" The slave owner whispered as he listened to the gunshots gradually disappearing, "These white leaders of the National Association of Colored People are dead, no one can save them."
No one knew how many casualties were caused by the clearing and attack. Even Jesla could only get a rough idea from Downs, and came back to tell the boss and his wife, "Including the rally and the black community, more than a thousand people should have died."
"Round it up to a thousand, and one-tenth of it should appear in the news." Sheffield fiddled with his fingers. "Let our newspapers unify their statements and report a death toll of 60 to 70 people."
"I see!" Jesla nodded. Alice Roosevelt heard their conversation and asked with a question mark on her face, "Isn't one-tenth of one hundred people?"
Sheffield glanced at Alice Roosevelt without explaining. According to the law before the Civil War, a black vote was two-thirds of a white vote, so he and Jesla could understand their conversation, but Alice Roosevelt was not a Southern citizen, so she couldn't understand.
