(This chapter was added and modified under the suggestion of Nie Lan. Maybe it was in a hurry, so everyone can read it.)

The host was also a little embarrassed when he saw this situation. He did not discriminate against racially, but he knew that the result of doing so would probably make him lose his job. However, when he asked the Carpenters to participate in the filming of the program, he forgot to remind him for a moment of negligence.

"Stop! Stop! Don't let these niggers come up." The staff who were recording came out immediately to stop them.

One of them was a person who looked like a director of the show. He said very angrily: "Who made the nigger appear on my show! Who is it?"

There were already staff from the TV station standing aside with their arms folded. They planned to force the niggers to leave with a passive and slackened attitude. Some people planned to call the security guards of the building to come and drive the black people out of the building.

"No wonder I feel that the air has become worse. It turns out that there are niggers who are scrambling among us."

"Shh! Don't talk, see what they do."

"I didn't want to work with these dirty people."

"Get out! Get out soon!"

The Carpenters were stunned. There were many black people in their place of life, and there were many black people among Bart's colleagues who used to work. For them, segregation was a joke and was not realistic at all. They thought it was just accompaniment and there would be no problem, but they did not expect it to cause such a big reaction.

The black people who were stopped were standing in place, looking at people's contemptuous eyes. Some were at a loss, some were so excited that they clenched their fists, their nails were so pricked that their palms were bleeding, and some looked at the people around them blankly, not knowing what they were thinking.

Bart stood up coldly and said, "They are my friends! I'll invite them to come and accompany me!"

The director of the show said furiously: "If you ask these niggers to get out of here, I will never let any nigger appear in the camera."

"Then I won't record this show!" Bart said without giving in. He grew up in a foreign country since he was a child and knew what it would be like to be discriminated against. Fortunately, he met some good people while growing up, so he did not become very extreme.

However, Bart still empathized with this discrimination. He felt that those people were really unreasonable. No matter what the difference was between blacks, whites, and yellow people, they were all humans. Everyone had to see God after they died. For him, there was no difference in skin color.

Some of the TV staff stood on the director's side, some showed a sympathetic look, and more of them were silent and neutral. In short, the recording of the program has stopped, and it depends on the situation that it cannot be recorded.

“In accordance with the rights granted by U.S. law, I request that the ruling regulations of Placy v. Ferguson be cited to strictly enforce apartheid policies in the workplace!”

The director of the TV show was righteous and righteous, as if he was a revolutionary martyr, and wanted to expel the Carpenters and their black friends. Especially when he mentioned "Placey v. Ferguson", he also received cheers from some of the white people present.

"Yes, we require strict compliance with the law!"

"Yes, right! Everyone must abide by the law."

The "Plessy v. Ferguson" refers to the fact that on June 7, 1892, Homer A.Plessy, who had one in eight black descent, deliberately boarded a train dedicated to white people on the East Louisiana Railway.

Under relevant laws passed by Louisiana in 1890, white people and colored races must ride in equal but isolated carriages. Under that law, Placie was identified as a "colored race" and was arrested and imprisoned.

So he took the Louisiana government to court, accusing it of violating his rights under the 13th and 14th amendments to the U.S. Constitution. However, Judge John Howard Ferguson ruled that the state government had the right to enforce the law in the state, and Placie eventually lost the case and was sentenced to a fine of $300 for violating the quarantine law.

Placi then sued Judge Ferguson's ruling in the Louisiana Supreme Court, but the court upheld Ferguson's original judgment. Even so, Placi was still dissatisfied and continued to appeal, and the case lasted for several years.

In 1896, Placie appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. On May 18, the Supreme Court ruled with a 7:1 majority: "The laws of Louisiana do not violate the 13th and 14th Amendments of the Constitution, because 'quarantine but equal' does not mean discrimination against black people, but only confirms that there is a difference between whites and blacks due to different skin colors."

Since then, American law has allowed states to provide apartheid facilities, which include schools, hospitals and train cars, football fields, drinking fountains and toilets, etc. In short, all facilities should be isolated as much as possible.

The other party has already brought out weapons like the law, and it is reasonable, and neither Carpenter's family can refute it.

During this period, Alex wanted to speak a few times, but he knew that his people were useless and nothing to say was useful. So he kept silent.

Bart stood up with a gloomy face, he looked at the director of the show and the other staff, then pulled Richard and Angel out, and walked out. Alex also left angrily, and the black band followed them.

When I came out of the studio, I saw people waiting for Carpenter's family outside. These people were from Carpenter Records, and they came to cheer together. They were supposed to be sitting in the audience, but I didn't expect to see such a scene.

Rudy followed him, opening his mouth and staring at the Carpenters' family with wide eyes. He shivered his lips and said, "You, you are all crazy! Do you know the influence of CBS in the record industry?"

Richard said in a daze: “Isn’t CBS a broadcaster?”

"FUCK! They are a group company, not only music and TV, but also movies! They can pinch us to death as long as they stretch out their fingers!" Rudy said cursingly, and he sighed and said, "I also want to cooperate with CBS and use their sales channels to sell our records all over the world."

Bart was also angry at this time. He touched his head and said, "Since we can't record the show, then let's go back."

Alex shrugged and said, "We can do what they are as big as they are sooner or later!"

Angel said a little sorry: "If the program is recorded successfully, we will be really famous."

After hearing this, those black men also looked embarrassed. Strictly speaking, the Carpenter family doesn't have to come out with them, and they can completely change to a white band to accompany them. They dragged down Carpenter's family, which resulted in the show being ruined.

Originally, they thought the matter had just passed. Unexpectedly, after hearing about it, the president of CBS immediately stopped Carpenter and the others. At that time, they had already walked to the gate and were about to find a car to go back.

"The accompaniment is OK, but the only condition is that black people cannot be allowed to appear in the camera." said the president of CBS.

Bart and the others were indignant about this matter and did not want to agree to the request of CBS. They insisted on their request and never gave in. Just when the negotiations were about to break down, Rudy was about to get crazy and he kept putting pressure on them.

"My God! Are you stupid? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I had such an opportunity, I would be willing to dress up as a woman."

"Really? Are you really willing to play a woman?"

"It's fake! If I really pretend to be a woman, how can I look up in front of others in the future?"

"Tsk, I want to say if you pretend to be a woman, we will agree to the other party's conditions."

In the end, they agreed to the request of CBS that their band could not appear in the camera, but they had to play live. As for those racist staff, they were replaced by CBS and allowed those employees who did not discriminate against black people to record the show.

CBS company allowed it, so Carpenters returned to the show. This time, they found that after the show staff changed, the atmosphere on the scene improved a lot. The staff who were replaced all smiled respectfully at them, and there were even a few black people in it. It seemed that these were the kindness CBS company released to them.

These black people were temporarily transferred. In the past, they all worked in another place. They entered different doors, took different elevators, used different offices, and did the same job and received different salaries.

Some of them were black people who whispered as they passed by: "We think your family is brave, really!"

They responded with a smile to such words. In the 1950s, the black people's sense of rights gradually awakened, but they were still suppressed by the white-ruled society. Even if there was a riot, it was still very small and scattered. There was no formation of a trend that could influence society, and the black people just buried this anger in their hearts and dared not express it.

Social turmoil is not caused by hierarchical differences, just like slave society, feudal society, etc., they also have periods of stable development. The reason for the turmoil is that the ruled party has power, so the autonomous consciousness of pursuing power begins to awaken.

The real civil rights movement will have to wait until the 1960s, and then the American society will be truly in turmoil and smoke everywhere. At that time, the conflict between the black and white sides was extremely sharp, and a slight conflict would develop into bloody violence. If the Carpenters had dared to be like this at that time, they might have been stabbed by extremists in the white group long ago.
