Chapter 2344 Gotham Music Festival (Eighty-three)
Many fans thought that this picture and this sentence were speaking for this black man, but someone soon noticed something wrong. The "Gotham" in memory of Gotham did not seem to be a place name.
Because English grammar is relatively strict, when Gotham is treated as a simple place name, there are special prepositions and sentence structures. If Biggie actually meant "Remember this day in Gotham", then the grammar is different from the sentence he posted now. If he meant that we should never forget the tragedy that happened in Gotham, then the difference is even greater.
This sentence is more like we will always remember Gotham, because only when the name appears there does the sentence make sense.
If someone else posted this sentence, many people might think that it is uncultured and that they just wrote a grammatical error to attract attention. However, Biggie is a famous rapper after all, and rappers are masters of lyrics and would not make such a low-level mistake.
When we think about the fact that the two giants on the East and West Coasts both changed their backgrounds to black and posted messages at the same time, although they are also black and it is normal for them to fight for the rights of black people, they are now in Gotham. Could it be that they actually know some inside information?
There were many different opinions and public opinion exploded. At this moment, 2pac recorded a video and posted it online.
He sat in the hotel bedroom, pointed the camera at his face, and looked very sad. He was silent for three minutes before saying, "I'm sorry that a friend has left us forever, and the world has not been able to truly see his talent. This will be a loss that the entire American rap community cannot bear."
"I can't describe what I've seen in this city, and how bravely he's spoken for it, and we were just starting our friendship, and we were talking about making a joint album together."
At this point, 2Pac was already in tears, he choked up and said: "I can't imagine how painful it was for him when he died, and God can't explain why a warrior who dared to speak for the people had 15 bullet holes in his soul."
He took a deep breath and pursed his lips tightly. The expression on his face changed from sadness to anger. "I have said it before. I have said it before. This kind of thing will happen to us again and again. Some of us will attribute all the mistakes to ourselves, so the tragedy will happen again and again."
"This is not, never was, our fault. If the police had opened fire, 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 make this clear, the next time you cry in front of the camera it will be you, my friends, don't wait any longer, don't let this happen to you again."
The video ended, and unsurprisingly it caused another uproar on the Internet, as people finally understood what "Gotham" meant.
There is only one rapper who can be referred to as "Gotham", and that is the Gotham kid who has just released only one album but is extremely popular. Anyone can see that he has a bright future ahead of him.
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 rigid person, and he should be very young.
He was also quite aggressive and had a sharp tongue, which matched the performance of the man who was shot in the bar. Many rappers came out to say that before this guy died, his rapid-fire output of words would have won him championships in many underground rap competitions.
This also fits with the speculation of the vast majority of fans that the Gotham Boy is indeed a black man, which makes them more convinced.
If they don't even trust the famous rap mogul who lives in Gotham, who can they trust?
This time, public opinion exploded even more violently, affecting almost the entire United States. Even many traditional news media from the redneck faction began to report on this incident, and the vast majority of attacks were directed at the FBI.
But the people are not stupid. They know this is not an FBI problem. When the victim did not reveal his skin color, the agents did not even look at him. As soon as he revealed that he was black, he was shot 15 times. Could this be a management problem of the FBI?
You say he was alert, and he didn't shoot when he saw a weirdo standing in front of him and dancing. You say he was not alert, and he could fire 15 shots at a human being, hitting every place where he could make a splash. Isn't this contradictory?
A vigorous black movement broke out.
Behind the scenes, some bigger storm is brewing.
As we all know, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, there were no winners in the Cold War and both sides were exhausted.
But in fact, it is Europe that is more exhausted. The reason why the Cold War was the Cold War was because the United States and the Soviet Union were across the sea from each other, but Europe and the Soviet Union shared the same continent and had to worry about becoming the first battlefield of a hot war at any time.
The capitalist economy is bound to have ups and downs. In the upswing, everything is easy. No matter what the big guy next to you does, everyone can enjoy the benefits and earn money to support their families in peace.
However, once the economy enters a downward period, inflation becomes severe, prices soar, and wages do not increase. Everyone cannot make any money and 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. There is no way to revitalize it without room for operation.
So they decided to unite, not only to cope with the pressure from the East, but also to revitalize the economy. This is also the background for the birth of the European Community.
Because the Soviet Union did not collapse, all European countries could not benefit from its legacy. In order to maintain their governments, most small countries could only find ways to be self-sufficient, but they could not do so relying solely on their own markets, so they had to find ways to unite with other markets.
The most important step in uniting with other markets is to use a unified currency. Under the pressure of the Soviet Union's lingering 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, and if they unite, they will form a very large market. In addition, the union is deepening and the unity is increasing, which leads to the main standard for joining the EU member states: no matter what historical grievances you have, just come.
Not only small countries such as the Vatican have joined the EU in order to join the mainstream market and seek survival, but even many countries with a tradition of neutrality have joined. Although permanent neutral countries such as Switzerland have not explicitly expressed their intention to join the EU, they have also announced that they will join the European joint market and abide by market rules.
As a result, Europe's ties became even 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 its later period basically relied on reaping the benefits from Europe. It can also be said that it was the main culprit for the EU's subsequent disunity. Once European countries united, it became less convenient for the United States to reap the benefits.
The more stable the European market is and the faster the internal circulation system is established, the more difficult it will be to achieve deindustrialization.
Although several core countries in Europe love to make trouble, they still have a strong foundation during this period. They are united, have an almost complete industrial system, and have the market to revitalize the economy. As the saying goes, who wants to be a dog when 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 I didn't ask you to be so united. After forming limbs, you kicked my head, right?
But European politicians don't care about this. When it comes to the superiority complex of old Europe, then American white supremacism has to take a back seat. In history, they have been in such a mess but have never given up their superiority complex. Now that they are starting to shake, they have to distinguish between father and son.
For Europe, NATO was originally about making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones, but after its establishment, they found that the ones far away were still the darkest.
Historically they had no choice, after all, they were even worse, they could only go down one path to the end, but now it’s different, it’s not that bad, and they are doing okay.
Now that I have the choice, it is up to me to decide whether I should lean on the railing and look at the North Atlantic or turn around to take a look at the scenery of Eastern Europe.
Of course, the United States will not let Europe succeed so easily. It must strike hard at these old aristocrats who fail to see the reality. However, when it raises its fists, its own butt is on fire.
After the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution, Europe got a long period of time to breathe and develop. The United States decided to save its own bottom, and did so in a flustered and anxious manner, which made the Europeans very 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 Commonwealth of European States.
The United States saw this and thought, "Okay, okay, this is how it's going to work, right? The Soviet Union is dying, and now there's the European Union. It's up to you whether I can stab you or not."
Now the United States was just planning to go to the European Union, but Oliver ran to the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union survived.
The United States is like Tom Cat. When it catches Jerry, it gets hit by the bird. When it catches the bird, it gets hit by Jerry. Europe, the Soviet Union, and Mexico are all busy, but none of them understand what they are doing.
Of course, the United States has a strong foundation. As the biggest beneficiary of World War II, although its domestic economy is not as good as in the golden age, it has been able to barely maintain itself before.
As a result, riots broke out in the country.
Floyd, the black man who was strangled to death and could not breathe by the police, was born in the wrong era. At that time, the United States was already the absolute boss. This was just their ethnic conflict, and no one had the right to interfere.
But the black movement that has broken out now is not like this. The fire of the Communist International is still burning, the Soviet Union that is confronting the United States is not dead yet, the European Union is watching from the sidelines, and the big Eastern powers are watching the fun without any hesitation.
When an international situation dominated by one superpower has not yet taken shape, even a rat's shit in someone else's house would be dragged out and criticized by the other side's media, let alone such a big thing.
As soon as the movement broke out, before much public opinion wave was formed in the United States, several printing presses exploded in Moscow due to overheating. The price of ordinary ink and paper in the European Union tripled. With the Atlantic Ocean as the dividing line, the countries on the other side could be said to be in a state of excitement with drums and gongs and firecrackers.
The United States did not expect that before it could figure out a way to suppress the splash at home, 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.
