Chapter 2351 Gotham Music Festival (83)
Chapter 2344 Gotham Music Festival (eighty-three)
Many fans thought that this sentence with this picture was to speak out for the black man, but some people soon realized that something was wrong. The "Gotham" in memory of Gotham did not seem to be a place name.
Because English grammar is relatively strict, Gotham is treated as a simple place name with special prepositions and sentence patterns. If Biggie actually means "remembering this day in Gotham", then the grammar is different from the sentence he is sending now. The words are different, and the difference is even greater if he means that we should never forget this tragedy that occurred on Gotham soil.
This sentence is more like we will always remember Gotham as a person, because only the name appears there, this sentence is relatively coherent.
If someone else had posted this sentence, many people might have thought it was uneducated and they would have casually written a sick sentence to gain popularity. However, Biggie is also a famous rapper after all, and rappers are all masters at playing with lyrics, so it would not be a bad thing. Make such a stupid mistake.
Thinking again, the two giants from the East and West coasts changed their backgrounds to black and posted at the same time. Although they are also black, it is normal to fight for the rights of blacks, but they are now in Gotham. Could it be that they actually know some inside information?
There were divergent opinions and public opinion exploded. At this moment, 2p recorded a video and posted it online.
He sat in the hotel bedroom, pointed the camera at his face, with a very sad expression. He was silent in front of the camera for three minutes before saying: "I am sorry that a friend has left us forever, and the world is not yet here." To be able to truly see his talent would be a loss that the entire American rap industry cannot bear.”
"I can't describe what I've seen in this city that he was so brave in speaking out for, and we were just starting our friendship and we were talking about making a joint album together."
When he said this, 2p had already shed tears. He choked and said: "I can't imagine how painful it was when he died, and God can't explain why a warrior who dared to speak for the people had 15 people in his soul. Bullet holes.”
He took a deep breath, pursed his lips tightly, and the expression on his face changed from sadness to anger, "I've said it before, I've said it a long time ago, this kind of thing will happen again and again. We, and some of us, take all the blame for ourselves, so tragedy happens again and again.”
"This is not, in no way, our fault. If the police had fired, then the white man would have been shot once, and there would never have been 14 shots. That is their fault, not ours."
"If we never stand firm on this, then it will be you who cry in front of the camera next time. Friends, don't wait any longer and don't let these things happen to you again."
By the end of the video, it was no surprise that it caused an uproar on the Internet, and people finally understood what "Gotham" was referring to.
There is only one rapper who can be referred to as "Gotham", and that is the Gotham boy who has just released one album but is extremely popular. Anyone can see that he has a bright future and an unlimited future.
This is very traceable. Although most of Gotham Kid's songs have very heavy themes, his way of expression often reveals a cheerful black humor. It can be seen that he is not a particularly serious and stereotyped person, and he should be very young.
And he was quite aggressive and had a very venomous mouth. This also matched the behavior of the man who was shot in the bar. Many rappers came forward and said that before this guy died, his eloquent output would be heard in many circles. Won the championship in an underground rap competition.
And this is in line with the speculation of the vast majority of fans. The Gotham Kid is indeed a black man, which makes them even more convinced.
If they can't believe the words of a well-known rap giant right here in Gotham, then who can they believe?
Now the public opinion broke out more violently, almost affecting the United States. Even many traditional news media of the red-neck faction began to report on the incident. Most of the attacks were directed at the FBI.
But the people are not stupid. They know that this is not an FBI problem. When the victim didn't show his skin color, the agents didn't even look at him. As soon as he revealed that he was a black man, he was shot 15 times. Could it be an FBI management issue?
You say he is vigilant. He will not shoot when he sees a weirdo standing and dancing in front of him. You say he is not vigilant. He can fire 15 times at a human being, hitting all the eye-catching places. Okay, isn't this inconsistent?
The vigorous black movement broke out.
Behind the scenes, some bigger storms are brewing.
As we all know, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, there was no winner in the Cold War, and both sides were exhausted.
But in fact, it is Europe that is even more exhausted. The Cold War was a Cold War because the United States and the Soviet Union faced each other across the sea. However, Europe and the Soviet Union share the same continent, and they have to worry about becoming the first battlefield in a hot war at any time.
Capitalist economies are bound to have ups and downs. During the upswing, it’s easy to say anything. Don’t worry about what the big guy next to you is doing. Everyone can enjoy the benefits safely and earn money to support their families.
However, once it enters a downturn, inflation is severe, prices soar, and wages do not rise. Everyone cannot make money at all, cannot survive, and satisfaction with the government plummets.
At this time, the government must adopt new economic policies to revitalize the market. The problem is that there must be room for operation. Most European countries have only a small piece of land, and the market is really limited. Without room for operation, there is no way to revitalize it.
So they decided to unite, not only to deal with the pressure from the East, but also to revitalize the economy. This is also the background of the birth of the European Community.
Because the Soviet Union did not disintegrate, all European countries could not get the legacy. In order to maintain the government, most small countries could only find ways to be self-sufficient, and they could not do it with their own markets alone, so they had to find ways to unite other markets.
The most important step in uniting other markets is to use a unified currency. Under the pressure of the Soviet Union's own economic situation, the euro appeared nearly 10 years earlier.
In the spring of 1992, the European Community officially transformed into the European Union and issued the euro.
Although a European country is small, there are many countries after all. If they unite, it will also be a large market. In addition, the union is deepening and unity is solidarity, which leads to the main standard for joining the EU member states: you don’t care about any historical grievances, just come.
Not only small countries such as the Vatican joined the EU in order to join the mainstream market and seek survival, but also many countries with a neutral tradition joined. Although permanent neutral countries such as Switzerland did not explicitly join the EU, they also announced that they would join the European joint market and abide by market rules.
In this way, Europe's ties became closer, and the core countries even completely crossed that line and began to move towards European political centralization.
It is hard to say who is the biggest beneficiary of this situation, but the biggest victim is definitely the United States.
As we all know, the United States in the later period basically relied on harvesting Europe, and it can also be said to be the culprit for the EU's later disunity. Once European countries united, the United States' harvest was not so convenient.
The more stable the European market is, the faster the internal circulation system is established, and the more difficult it is to complete deindustrialization.
Although the core countries in Europe love to make a living, their foundation is still very thick during this period. They are united and united, and they have an almost complete industrial system and a market to revitalize the economy. As the saying goes, who would be a dog if they can be a human being?
The United States can be said to have seen that Europe is becoming less and less concerned about NATO's mission. Back then, it was the United States that encouraged Europe to unite in order to use NATO to contain the Soviet Union, but I asked you to unite but not so united. After forming the four limbs, you kicked your head, right?
However, European politicians don't care about this. If we talk about the superiority of old Europe, then the white supremacy of the United States has to stand behind. In history, they have never given up their superiority even when they were so weak. Now that they are shaking, they have to distinguish between father and son.
For Europe, NATO was originally about making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby countries, but after its establishment, they found that it was still the darkest one.
In history, they had no choice. After all, they were more weak, so they could only go all the way, but now it's different. They are not so weak, and they are still okay.
With the right to choose, whether I lean on the railing to look at the North Atlantic or turn around to look at the scenery of Eastern Europe, it's up to me.
Of course, the United States will not let Europe succeed so easily. It must strike hard at these old nobles who cannot see the reality, but when he raised his fist, his own ass caught fire.
After the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution, Europe got a long period of breathing and development opportunities. The United States decided to protect its ass, and it was busy and anxious, which made the Europeans happy.
In the summer of 1995, the European Union announced that it would further strengthen cooperation and change the name of the organization to the European Union.
The United States saw it and thought, okay, okay, this is how it works, right? The Soviet Union is dying, and now there is another European Union. It depends on whether I stab you or not.
Now the United States just planned to stab the European Union, but Oliver ran to the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union survived.
The United States is like Tom the cat, who caught Jerry and was hit by the bird, and caught the bird and was hit by Jerry. Europe, the Soviet Union, and Mexico were busy, but none of them understood.
Of course, the United States is not weak. As the biggest beneficiary of World War II, although the domestic economy is not as good as the golden age, it was barely able to maintain it before.
As a result, riots broke out in the country.
Floyd, the black man who was strangled to death by the police and could not breathe, was born in the wrong era. At that time, the United States was already the boss. This was just their ethnic conflict, and no one had the power to make decisions.
But the black movement that has broken out now is not like this. The flames of the Communist International are still alive, and the Soviet Union, which is confronting the United States, has not died yet. The European Union is watching from the sidelines, and the Eastern powers are watching the excitement without minding the big things.
When the international pattern of one superpower has not yet been formed, it is really true that if a mouse poops on the ground in someone's house, it will be dragged out by the media of the other side to point fingers, let alone such a big thing.
As soon as the movement broke out, before a big wave of public opinion was formed in the United States, several printing presses in Moscow exploded due to overheating. The price of ordinary ink and paper in the European Union tripled. With the Atlantic as the dividing line, the countries on the other side can be said to be noisy with gongs and drums and firecrackers.
The United States did not expect that before it could figure out a way to suppress this splash in the country, the tsunami outside had already come.
What is even more fatal is that for capitalist countries, market confidence is a very important thing. This seemingly harmless public opinion shock ultimately laid the seeds of huge disaster.
