Rebirth in America

When making the tour plan, Alex put forward a rigid requirement, that is, there must be a performance venue that can accommodate more than 5,000 people in the target city of the tour.

Otherwise, he would not have considered performing in that city.

Unexpectedly, this limit of 5,000 people was too conservative. When the news came out that he was going to start his first concert tour in New York, many news media followed up and reported on it.

Various related news appeared overwhelmingly, and people's attention was attracted by this news.

"After debuting for more than six years, Alex finally started his tour."

“This is the most watched show ever!”

"Alex chose New York as his first stop!"

The New York concert will be held at Madison Square Garden, which is located above Pennsylvania Station, the largest train station in the United States. The first thing people see when taking the train to New York is the historic Madison Square Garden.

As the door curtain of New York, it is referred to as MSG or simply "the garden" by New York locals.

It is also the home stadium of various New York teams, as well as the venue for large-scale indoor events such as personal concerts, NBA basketball games, boxing matches, and political rallies.

The history of Madison Square Garden is a vivid and living history of American sports, literature, art and politics.

Before starting the concert, Alex convened a pep rally with everyone.

The tour far exceeded his expectations, reaching 150 people. Most people are bodyguards, personal assistants, staff, TV program recorders, etc.

Alex didn't consider that Chuck, Little Richard and others were also considered big stars. Their own team already had more than a dozen people, and with their bodyguards and personal assistants, the number was even bigger.

Rudy and others are strongly opposed to such high-cost concerts. They believe that they will definitely not be able to make back their money.

"Actually, you don't need so many stars. Chuck and the others can completely tour by themselves. There is no need to form a team with you! You know, the venue is only so big. No matter how many people you attract, there is no way to make money from those people outside the venue. money."

However, Alex shut them up with just one sentence: "I will pay for all the expenses for the tour!"

In fact, some people believe that Chuck and Little Richard are black and Alex is white. When they appear on the same stage at the same time, they may cause criticism. Although the current apartheid policy cannot control places such as singing and performances, restrictions on public places still exist.

"Is it better to sell concert tickets to white people or black people?"

Anyone who knows Alex knows that he is against racial discrimination. When he was recording a program on a TV station a few years ago, relevant things happened. As a result, at the insistence of Alex and others, their performance still used the accompaniment of a black band.

The person who said this wanted to remind Alex that most of the people who liked Chuck were black, and there was no way to attract white people to the venue. In other words, they hope that Alex will replace Chuck, even if a new white boy is better than Chuck, a black singer.

Alex didn't take this issue to heart at all. He said, "We don't care who we sell the tickets to, as long as we give them money."

Alex believes that with his popularity, there is no need to consider whether the concert tickets can be sold or not. If you can't stand being around people of different skin colors, just listen to music at home. He simply does not lack the support of this small group of extreme racists. There are a large number of people who will listen to his songs regardless of the color of the people around them.

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. The tickets for the New York concert were sold out at once, and there were even many people who couldn't buy tickets and wanted to find scalpers to buy tickets at high prices.

However, Alex's disregard for the current social situation has also attracted criticism from some white media. They believe that putting white people and black people in the same public place is an illegal act.

"He is flouting the law, this is a crime!"

"We must stop him, he is tainting our tribe!"

"Who does he think he is? God! If those niggas want justice, go see God."

"Did the Carpenters sing so much rock music that they thought they had dark skin?"

Similarly, there are also some relatively neutral media who are worried about Alex's approach. They believe that the contradiction between blacks and whites is too deep now, and if they all stay in the same place, friction and struggle will inevitably occur.

"What if a fight breaks out at the concert! Alex, you are so smart, haven't you thought about it?"

"Alex's approach is too risky. Although our segregation is wrong, if we create such a big scene all at once, I'm afraid there will be problems."

Unintentionally, what Alex did touched people's nerves. Many sociologists, legal experts, celebrities, news commentators, etc. have all discussed his approach, which has caused huge repercussions in society.

Under this pressure, many people thought Alex would compromise.

However, what they didn't expect was that Alex didn't take this discussion to heart at all. He had considered the possibility of conflict, so he hired so many bodyguards and security workers to maintain order at the scene.

As for it attracting so many people's opposition and attention, that was beyond his expectation.

As someone who comes from later generations of Red China, I have only heard about racial discrimination in the United States. Even though he has been in this world for more than ten years, he still does not take this problem seriously.

The most important thing is that he has confidence in himself. He believes that as long as the music plays, no one will pay attention to the skin color of the people around him.

On the night of the concert, when entering the venue, the white and black lines were like two parallel rivers, clearly separated. During this period, many white people laughed at and threatened black people. They couldn't bear to see black people staying in the same place with them.

"Hey! Nigga, did you steal your money from your master? Otherwise, how could you afford the tickets!"

"What the fuck! There are niggas coming to the concert with us!"

"Staying with these dark guys makes it difficult for me to breathe."

These were only minor provocations, but they were immediately stopped by security personnel deployed everywhere. There were also people who came forward to stop the restlessness of black people. No matter who they were, anyone who dared to cause trouble was immediately pulled out of the team and banned from entering. Those who have already purchased tickets will have their money refunded directly to the troublemakers.

The local police department in New York City was also facing a major enemy and sent out all its manpower to maintain public safety and order. They were also worried about an accident happening at Alex's concert. It would be nice if such a thing didn't happen. If it happened, it would definitely be a major national event.

On the issue of race, the president of the United States during this period had long realized that racial discrimination alienated hundreds of millions of Africans and Asians, which would cost them a lot of votes. So many politicians are seeking to normalize race, at least on the surface for votes.

Of course, there are many more politicians who strongly demand the strict implementation of segregation in order to please extremist whites. Even if they are facing the President of the United States, they are not afraid. Many good policies and proposals have been aborted because of them.

Truman's election came from black voters. At that time, the balance of power between the Republicans and the Democratic Party was so balanced that the influence of the black vote was crucial. Truman repeatedly won more votes than his opponents in the black electorates in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Cleveland, allowing him to triumph in the three states of California, Illinois, and Ohio.

To this end, Truman took action in many aspects after taking office.

First, a Civil Rights Commission was appointed, which in its investigation report called for an end to racial segregation in all areas of American life and the implementation of political, economic, and social equality. Truman signed the report, but unfortunately, this legislative proposal was not realized until Alex crossed over.

Second, Truman issued executive orders that wanted to end racial discrimination in government employment and desegregate the armed forces.

Also, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net The judicial department is prepared to support the end of racial segregation in housing, education and transportation.

None of these efforts were truly realized in the end, but they had a great impact. Even the President of the United States has no way to solve things, and Alex has no way to change it. However, he just wants to change these few hours and let everyone sit down and enjoy music without prejudice.

"Only music is the common language of mankind. Since we can't communicate normally, let's use music as the medium."

Alex's naive thoughts and disregard for the current situation of society offended many people. These people include the terrifying Ku Klux Klan members, as well as powerful figures, vested interest groups, and some people who have always disliked him.

Regarding the mixed black and white situation of the New York concert, someone was really shocked and angry after hearing it. He was so angry that he threw the information on the table and cursed: "What does this kid want to do! What does he want to do?" !”

"Isn't it confusing enough? Don't you understand the current situation of society?"

"Idiot! Stupid! Incorrigible guy!"

"You have to be so stupid and naive to do this. I really want him to die!"

"Looking for trouble for nothing makes people unable to relax for a moment!"

The man touched the sparse hair on his head, thought for a moment, then pressed the button next to the phone and said, "Gandy, ask Tolson to double the manpower to keep an eye on Alex. There must be no chance of anything happening." Any surprises.”

A gentle female voice replied: "Okay, Edgar!"
