The "racist remarks" in the United States have been pushed into hot search again.
NBA star James and the world's richest man Musk have been involved one after another.
Here's the thing, since Musk acquired Twitter, the Internet's largest social platform, for $44 billion, the rate of racist words about "nigger" has soared nearly 500% in 12 hours.
So related reports came out, such as this Washington Post report, which means that Musk will make changes to content moderation after taking over Twitter.
NBA ball James really can't bear it, and publicly wrote angry:
Who is Musk? I don't care who you are the Twitter owner, if the news report is true, I want his people to pay attention, it's outrageous, so many people say hate speech is freedom of speech.
As a result, Musk immediately replied to James with lightning speed, explaining that 300 fake accounts had posted 50,000 tweets, implying that someone was hyping up the matter.
The racist word "nigger" just mentioned means "nigger", and if a white person shouts this word to a black person, it is a great shame for black people.
Da Zhang Wei's single "Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse" is because there are a lot of lyrics "I am inside inside, inside" is a mess abroad.
When blacks hear orgasm, their expressions look like this.
such
such
And such as.
Of course, Da Zhang Wei's lyrics do not mean racial discrimination, and the "inner one" in his mouth refers to "that", which happens to be the homonym of "nigger" in English.
For example, bee in English means bee, but the homonym of Chinese is necessary.
Racial discrimination in the United States is an unimaginable existence, which has a history of more than 300 years, and blacks are the most affected.
Previously, American black superstar Will Smith publicly discussed the racial discrimination he had suffered on the show "On One".
"I grew up in Philadelphia, led by Rizzo. There, the police used to call me a. ”
"White kids are happy when the police show up, and instead I get very nervous when I see the police passing by. People who don't grow up like that can't understand what life feels like. ”
In the face of what happened many years ago, Smith can still clearly recall the state of mind at that time,
It can be seen that the serious racial discrimination in the United States caused incomparable damage to his young childhood.
Being white is not immune.
But any white man who goes too close to a black person will be threatened by other white people.
After the famous American gymnast Sunissa Lee won the Olympic championship, she opened up about her relationship with Jerin Smith on Twitter, but what she waited for was not a blessing, but an attack of racism.
Some say it's shameful for her to date a black boyfriend.
Sunissa could only retort: "Where is the right to equality, how can someone be so cruel that they prevent her from loving a black man." ”
Racial discrimination in the United States has permeated every aspect.
And many black American families teach their children from an early age that if you want to be respected, you have to be better than whites.
So much so that a black female singer-songwriter like Beyoncé must follow this law (this law will be taught from childhood to adulthood): "As a black man, if you want to live in a world dominated by white people, you must be ten times better than white people." ”
In this context, many directors and black actors have created many excellent works based on reality.
The first of these to be critically acclaimed is "Twelve Years as a Slave".
In the United States in 1841, black slavery was gradually abolished in some northern areas, which meant that blacks could live and work here like free people.
However, the southern states are still dominated by plantations, and there is a large demand for cheap labor, resulting in black slavery not being abolished in the south, but very rampant.
Some traffickers profit from violence, and even abduct free-status blacks from the north and sell them to the south.
Solomon, the protagonist of the story, lived in the context of that time,
Born in New York State, he was a free black American and grew up to be a violinist, a family of four who lived poorly, but their lives were much better than other blacks.
In the United States at that time, although you were a free citizen, your black skin color always put this freedom in quotation marks.
After a performance, a drunken Solomon was framed and sold to a trafficker who realized that he had been deceived when he woke up.
"My name is Solomon Northup, I am a free man, a citizen of Saratoga, New York, my wife and children are free men, and you have no right to detain me."
He said over and over again that he was a free man, in exchange for the understanding of the other party, but the whipping day and night, making him "recognize" the identity of the black slave.
In the face of absolute force, he "recognized" the identity of the black slave, and with it came a new name "Pratt".
Later Pratt was sold to a farmer's house, because he was born well-educated and born free, Pratt did not not yearn to restore his free body,
He tried many times, asking the farmer for help, running away, writing letters, etc., but in the end he returned without success.
Because of the color of his own skin, he is destined to have no chance of freedom there, and he is destined to be forever inferior to the white man.
The passage of time did not polish his hope of regaining his freedom, and finally 12 years later, he asked a friend to write a letter to his family and friends, reporting to them about their situation.
After receiving the letter, family and friends immediately came to pick him up with the police.
When he stepped into the carriage and left, it also meant that 12 years of forbearance finally allowed him to regain his freedom, and he was finally reunited with his family.
This is the end of the film, but the story continues.
Inspired by Solomon's struggle against slavery after his freedom, the film is based on the struggle against slavery by more and more repressed blacks.
With the end of the Civil War, centuries-long black slavery was finally abolished, and blacks "stood up" ever since.
Once the film was broadcast, it won an Oscar and was widely acclaimed in the United States.
This is also reminiscent of another film and television drama "Roots" in the United States.
And this film and television drama from more than 40 years ago will not feel outdated even now.
The story begins in 1750 and takes the experience of a young man under the age of 17 who was captured from Africa to the North American continent as a slave, and travels back to that colonial era.
This black guy was originally named Quinta Kent, and perhaps many people's biggest impression of this TV series is that he was hung up and beaten by his "master" to force him to admit his new name "Toby".
When his back was beaten to the ground, Quinta Kent, who was unable to bear it, finally "admitted" that his name was Toby.
But the oppression of force did not mean to make him submit, he fled over and over again, was chased back over and over again, severely beaten, and reincarnated.
The deterrence of force did not bring Kent to his knees until he and his maid gave birth to a baby girl, because he pinned the seeds of "freedom" on the child.
The girl's name is Keith, and she has been taught by her father since she was a child, and she has always talked about freedom.
But the cruel thing is that what they do is nothing more than a drop in the bucket, because of deep-rooted thinking, their end is doomed from birth.
As Case grew up, the farmer sold her to another white man.
There she gave birth to a baby boy named George.
When he grew up, George also knew his fate and knew that only by getting more money could he get himself out of trouble.
For this he wanted to make money to atone for himself and his mother, so he worked hard.
But everything he does can only become a handle for the "master" to use for it.
During a cockfight, the farmer promised that the success of the cockfight would restore his freedom.
The gambler's words can be believed, although at first George won and got the contract.
But the farmer gambled and once again put all his worth on cockfighting, but he lost ruin.
The insolvent owner had to sell him to the British, and his idea of regaining his freedom was once again dashed.
George did not become depressed about this, but worked harder, and after years of hard work, he finally gained freedom.
When he re-established himself on the fertile soil of the United States, the United States broke out in the Civil War.
He actively joined the army and threw himself into the revolution. Eventually with the end of the Northern War, black slavery was abolished.
All the blacks had satisfied smiles on their faces, because it showed that they were finally free.
But even more thought-provoking is another shot, where a white man complains that he doesn't want to be equal to black people forever, which makes him feel very sick.
Although the law has recognized their status as equals with whites, deep-rooted ideas have not let go of whites, but have aroused white dissatisfaction and oppose blacks everywhere.
In the movie "The Legend of No. 42", black star Jackie Robinson is still difficult by the flight attendant even if he is famous.
And as the first black baseball player, in addition to withstanding the pressure of the outside world, he also had to face the cynicism of his teammates, and the discrimination that could be seen everywhere made him breathless.
And this situation also appears in the black autobiography "Black Lightning", the protagonist Jesse Owens even though he won multiple Olympic medals,
In the ball, he was still troubled everywhere, and the toilet was only equipped with a special toilet for black people,
You can only go to the black-only passage through the passage, which is undoubtedly the biggest insult to an Olympic champion.
The film does not end with a glorious Olympic podium, but a critique of American society,
Although Jesse Owens won glory for the country, but to participate in the reception dinner for himself has to go through the back door, these injustices still need to be fought and fought for by future generations,
But the great Olympic spirit is immortal, and Owens has written an eternal legend in Olympic history.
In 2018, "Green Book", which won the Oscar for Best Picture, is also a typical film that reflects racial discrimination.
Across the United States in the 1960s, racial discrimination was endless.
In the 60s, when apartheid was normal, the two male protagonists in the movie not only had a clear black and white skin color, but also a sharp contrast in their social status.
The black male protagonist is a famous black pianist with the highest education in New York, who is both talented and not bad for money;
And the white male protagonist employed by him and the duty of the driver's bodyguard belongs to the bottom of white society,
He is of low Italian descent and used to work as a security guard in nightclubs, although he does not mix well, he still inevitably discriminates against blacks from the bottom of his heart.
It is not difficult to see from this that even though the law clearly states that blacks and whites are equal, the arrogance engraved in the bones of white Americans has never dissipated, and the idea of white supremacy has long been engraved in their hearts.
Once these films were released, they quickly aroused heated discussions in all walks of life in the United States.
And the film has appeared frequently in major film festivals, winning awards and getting soft, and the success is revealed in the film with a strong "humanistic feeling".
The ideas between the lines of the film express a desire to promote racial equality and reject discrimination.
Steve McQueen, director of "Twelve Years a Slave", also said:
"I hope this film can send a message to the audience: we are all equal, all of us are the same, we need dignity, we have the right to choose our lives and families, freedom is important, that's all the film brings us."
And it is this thought that radiates into the film to show incomparable power, not only Americans empathize after watching it, but even Chinese after thousands of miles are tears after watching it.
Gao Xiaosong said bluntly when evaluating the movie "Green Book": "This is my favorite movie, and people around me also say the same."
Even Ma Yun brushed "Green Book" three times, saying that he was moved by the hope, humanity and warmth presented by the movie every time.
Actress Zhang Ziyi also said after reading "Green Book" that this is a moving and good work.
It is enough to see that movies are "changing" the world in their own way.
As Steve McQueen expected, many conscientious American directors and black actors hope to use their modest efforts to change the landscape of racial discrimination in the United States.
With the emergence of more and more film and television works, some Americans have subtly identified with racial equality, and the bill has been revised for this purpose.
It's just that this 300-year-long history and generations of cognition cannot come overnight, and the hot events on Twitter in the past few days are enough to show this.
However, from the previous "black slave" to today's "nigger" insult, it also shows that many people's efforts have not been in vain.
Racial discrimination is shameless, and white people have no reason to be superior because of differences in skin color.
This world emphasizes equality and peaceful coexistence for all, and only by uniting to see the world without wearing colored glasses will the world continue to develop towards a better side.
