Chapter 178 Disturbance in Harlem(1/2)
That day, the four of them gathered around the table to have dinner again.
The dish was not added with soy sauce and the braised pork with sugar-colored sugar was made to the point that the three guys were reluctant to speak.
Or I wish each person had two mouths, one for eating, the other for eating... or it was still for eating...
Edward didn't care. While drinking beer, he muttered in his heart, "I can't teach you the dragon-slaying technique of teachers these days, and I can only use Mao's braised pork to conquer your stomach and intestines."
With a sip of meat and a sip of wine, and then the TV news, his life was moist. He was thinking about whether to ask Megan to digest food or Alicia to talk about life and ideals after he had enough wine and meals...
"Hey, hey, hey," he shouted. "Hansen, don't eat it, leave some for me, look, look, your work is here... Hey, hey, I didn't lie to you, look!"
The three of them immediately put down their chopsticks in one go.
Yes, one big black man, two white skins, three people put their chopsticks into perfection. If you give them a silver chopstick, you can definitely pick up pigeon eggs.
Yes, it's all thanks to Edward - the tyrant in the kitchen and the dining room.
With absolute authority, anyone who dares to resist will be hit ruthlessly and cruelly.
He insisted on one view that chopsticks must be used to eat Chinese food.
Otherwise, it would be an unchaste heresy, and although such heresy would not be sent to the stolen rack.
But Chef Edward also has his own solution.
Once, the trio rarely established a united front, firmly demanded the defense of their freedom to use knife and fork, and angrily condemned Edward's chopstick hegemony, believing that pushing chopsticks with food is an inhuman chauvinism, and is an objective practice of the robber logic imposed on people. It is inconsistent with the ideas and concepts of the founding sages of the United States, and must be resisted in the most appropriate way.
The so-called most appropriate method is to eat as much as possible, but require the use of any tableware that can be used to ensure fairness and no discrimination. This is a major improvement in the civil rights movement on the dining table!
He also expressed his intention to write an article and post it to the Harvard Law Review.
Although loving someone is good at speaking and tying his opponents in court is a trivial matter, he can only defeat him obediently when facing three of his classmates.
Three cobblers can defeat Zhuge Liang, but Mr. Wolong's Cube will definitely beat Kong Ming, right?
The only thing that can defeat magic is magic
The only students who can shut up the lawyers are the students who read together (mes).
Then, he entered the kitchen angrily.
The three of them slapped their high-fives to celebrate, and the weak (food) civilization finally achieved great victory in the face of power.
After half an hour, they couldn't laugh.
Someone brought it out, Li Hongzhang mixed pieces, Zuo Zongtang chicken, fried spring rolls, sweet and sour meat, plus long soup, short soup.
And someone also had a smile from hell: "Dear, in order to maintain the purity of your civilization, I put a lot of MSG in all the dishes. Let's try it. It's only suitable for knives and forks...oh...no... I should taste this kind of trash...delicious..."
At this moment, they realized that in the face of absolute monopoly advantages, words are ultimately unreliable.
After eating the MSG meal with tears in my eyes, I no longer dared to show off my cleverness in front of Edward, and I obediently learned chopstick kung fu.
However, the subsequent incident made Edward not expect that Hansen had slept with many girls again with this hand, and his logic was simple: "Hehe, pretty girl, look, look, these are chopsticks, two small sticks involve complex leverage principles, but you see, I can handle it with one hand, you should understand how much skill is on my hand, to be precise, right?"
Carl Wright also gained a lot of "sincere love" by showing his zero-living finger skills, so that some people think he can be a doctor for the test.
In short, just like this messy era, all kinds of messy things kept taking root around Edward.
Back on the TV show, "This is fake news, I am a reporter Meghan. Now I am reporting a horrifying atrocity at the Metropolitan Museum in New York."
Not to mention the professional demonstrators Hanson, even Chris was attracted, the matter had something to do with the latter. His dark-skinned compatriots were the biggest suspects.
This is the thing.
The Metropolitan Museum intends to host a Harlem historical art exhibition.
The narrow Harlem District is located in Upper Manhattan in Upper New York City.
To the west are St. Nicholas Avenue and Morningside Park; Fifth Avenue to the east; to the south to the north side of Central Park.
Greater Harlem also covers several other neighborhoods, extending west to the Hudson River, north to 155th Street, east to East River, south to Martin Luther King Street Boulevard and Central Park East 96th Street.
It was originally a village established by the Dutch in 1658 and gradually developed into a town center. You should know that Harlem itself is a place name in the Netherlands.
There are many cases of history in the United States that are older than those in the country, especially the east coast and New England.
This also makes local residents more affectionate about the small environment around them, although they are loyal to the United States.
It is useless to tell them that the river is full of water and the river is full of water and the river is dry without water. They only know that before the federal government was born, their ancestors had already made a decision and began to massacre the Indians (crossed out).
The history of Harlem's district is defined by a series of economic ups and downs, each with major population changes.
In the 19th century, Harlem was mainly occupied by Jews and Italians just like the current Polo Park.
But during the 20th century New York population migration, blacks, politically correct, were said to be a large influx of African Americans.
In the decade from 1920 to 1930, the central and western Harlem were the centers of the so-called Harlem cultural revival and the birthplace of german music and painting. Of course, zero-yuan purchases belonging to performance art are indispensable.
All of this was born all over the United States, thriving in Harlem, and then trying to spread the entire rice again.
With the Great Depression brought about by the 29-year Wall Street crash, the massive bankruptcy factories during the period and the deindustrialization of New York City after World War II, the unemployment rate for local residents reached an astonishing 25%, and the crime and poverty rates increased significantly.
Naturally, the original permanent population began to move out on a large scale. Although they were also poor, they all traveled across the ocean to the New World to make a living. They had many minor problems, but hard work and hard work are necessary, so they also accumulated some property.
But no matter how rich the family is, it cannot withstand repeated zero-yuan purchases.
In this way, this area has completed its own population transformation from Dutch-Jewish/Italian-Black.
In fact, this is a very narrow area, politically affiliated to the 13th National Electoral District of New York State - the smallest congressional district.
Gner has a pretty good tradition - no matter where they moved there and quickly became part of that area, and said to others over and over again, "Hey, we've lived in this place since ancient times, and this is our home".
Of course, it is all blamed for the evil slave traders. If there is no sinful slave trade movement, it would be no big problem to let them shout these slogans to lions and hyenas in the vast African savanna.
In fact, after the end of World War II, this place became the cultural capital of black people in New York and even black people in the United States. The magical Harlem Revival movement is an indelible name in the history of jazz in this country.
The Metropolitan Museum held a large exhibition under the name of the history of Harlem to showcase the region's more than 200 years of history.
The most precious thing is a Rembrandt original work.
Although this great Dutch painter has no dime relationship with Harlem and even the New World, he and Harlem were born in the same period and were Dutch, so...
From this perspective, the ability of Americans to recognize their fathers globally is actually quite powerful.
Thomas Dowyn, director of the Metropolitan Museum of China, is the principal curator of the three-month (18 January to 6 April 1969) multimedia exhibition, designed to emphasize the history of Harlem, which includes introductory photography murals from floor to ceiling, followed by photographs of various sizes depicting the life of Harlem, but without the artwork of the ger artist.
The exhibition even includes a small paper written by Candice Van Ellison, a recent graduate of Harlem Gate, Theodore Roosevelt High School, citing a large number of anti-Semitism and anti-Irish foul language.
Although it was removed by Dhoven in the final publication, it can still be seen in the exhibition.
This is reasonable, after all, anti-Semitism and anti-Ireland are things that have actually happened in history.
Since such things can be exhibited in a grand manner, there are no works related to black artists in the entire exhibition, which is obviously unreasonable.
Nger hates it, but as mentioned above, jazz music, which originated from black people, has actually become an important card for the export of American foreign culture.
In other words, in this exhibition, the black artistic achievements are considered to be ignored or intentionally forgotten.
This is obviously unbearable for those who "hey, we've lived here since ancient times."
What's more, the black art here, especially musical works, can indeed occupy a place in the history of the United States and even the world's music.
So, on one hand, the arrogance of white people and the reasonable and unreasonable anger of black people, finally met together.
Harlem is a traditional old revolutionary district with a long history. In the 1940s, a black violent civil rights organization (this name sounds quite ironic) took root here. How could they let it go in the face of such humiliation?
Edward thought that the vigorous "zero yuan purchase" would be grandly launched again.
Unexpectedly, things did not worsen.
The Black Emergency Culture Alliance () came forward on behalf of Harlem artists to express an angry condemnation - thinking that this was a serious act of racial discrimination, while Thomas Hovin refused to apologize, and both sides quarreled and quarreled for more than a week.
Everything is peaceful except for the occasional demonstration.
This surprised Edward.
On January 16, 1969, the eighth day after its development, ten works of art, including Rembrandt's works, were tragically damaged.
Fortunately, most of them are sprinkled and applied by pigments, and most of them only damage the protective varnish covering the paintings. The losses are not serious. After expert identification, the paintings are likely to be successfully repaired.
I don't know who did it.
He severely condemned this act of destruction and was extremely dissatisfied with the exhibition, but he would never agree with the atrocities that defame the exhibited works.
He even hints whether this will be the cross-dressing "black" among the 3KK party members.
"What are they doing?" Chris threw his chopsticks. To be honest, when such a thing came out, although there was no evidence, ghosts knew who the culprit was.
The 3KK party is really a hell.
In New York in 1968, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you can't find one. If such a guy covered in white sheets really appears, he will probably be sent to the zoo for public exhibition.
The other three looked at each other and dared not speak.
After a while, Hansen scratched his head, "Why do I go and have a demonstration to support the art world in Harlem?"
"No!" Chris yelled, "They are committing crimes! They actually destroy artworks! Horven is a bastard, but Rembrandt and other artists are innocent! I condemn this behavior, which is simply a reversal of civilization!"
"Okay, okay!" Hansen delivered a pair of new chopsticks to him. "Hurry up and eat, hey! Hey! Carl, you guy, eat less. If Chris is hungry, be careful that he will throw it out of the window!"
He turned his head and persuaded, "Brother, we are not outsiders here. Although everyone has different colors, their ideas are similar, otherwise they would not have sat at the same table for dinner, right? Don't be so angry, eat first. As for how to solve this problem later, let's think about it again. In short, this bastard Huo Wen cannot just let it go! Let him see what the power of the people is!"
Edward muttered: "I think this is my good craftsmanship and has nothing to do with political views..."
To be continued...
