The knight in the big world of American TV series

Chapter 2110

Chapter 2110

In short, the scene was very ugly. A fierce conflict broke out between Arthur and the nobles, and the fight was not quelled until the royal guards were dispatched.

This made Atlanna very angry. She punished most of the nobles present for defying the queen... Although this was obviously biased, it was difficult for the nobles to oppose the queen. After all, unlike Arthur, Atlanna had an unquestionable strong claim. Atlanna's biggest stain was giving birth to Arthur. But the problem was that the queen had been exiled for thirty years to pay for her sins. According to the principle of double punishment for the same crime, no one could use this reason to shake the queen's right to rule.

Moreover, the queen brought back the Trident of Neptune, and Atlanna's right to rule was unquestionable in legal terms. The nobles would not waver in their stance just because Atlanna took sides... because legal principles were also the source of their power, and to deny legal principles was to deny the legitimacy of their own power.

So even if the queen took sides, the nobles had no choice but to accept it.

But Atlanna was thinking too much if she wanted the nobles to cooperate with Arthur to capture Black Manta. They would definitely hinder each other, and even do something in secret to kill each other... Arthur might not do that. Although Arthur had a clear sense of gratitude and resentment, he would definitely take revenge on these nobles when he found a chance, but the problem was that he was also a straightforward person. When it came to right and wrong, he might not do such a thing. But this group of nobles was different. They would kill Arthur at all costs, even if it meant letting Black Manta gain the advantage!

After all, in the eyes of the nobles, Black Manta's gain would not necessarily harm their interests, but Arthur was different. The fact that he was the son of Atlanna itself threatened the survival of the nobles. You know, even now, the Atlantean bloodline is still a very important pillar of their society. Arthur's existence itself is a trampling of their bloodline theory... In the long-standing Atlanna culture, the blood of the nobles is stronger than the blood of the inferiors.

But Arthur, a lowly creature at the bottom of the bloodline theory... According to the bloodline theory, Arthur, a foreign hybrid, is even lower than the lowest mutant. There is another kind of resident in the underwater kingdom, who is at the bottom of the entire social class, that is, mutants, a kind of underwater intelligent life that has completely abandoned the human form. For example, the Fisherman Kingdom and the Saltwater Kingdom, although the two nations also have the characteristics of underwater creatures, their faces are still human-shaped, but these mutants are completely fish heads, so they are considered to be the lowest and most untouchable species among the underwater residents, and they are treated the same as the Trench Clan, all of them are inhuman monsters (in fact, these mutants are much better than the Trench Clan, at least they can communicate). These underwater pariahs are excluded by all countries and do not enjoy political rights in any country. They are excluded to survive in territories outside the countries and form their own faction.

But they are indeed hated by people and dogs in the seabed. After all, although the Trench Tribe is annoying, they only stay in specific sea areas. Even if they are wild and crazy, they will not affect other people. But those underwater mutants are different. They are more like underwater gypsies, or even worse. They are a collection of underwater criminals. They will commit any crime and wander around in various countries under the sea. Their gathering place, the underwater ruins city, is the largest underwater underground black market. Many criminal activities will eventually flow there.

This group of people is synonymous with the dirtiest and most evil.

The bloodline represented by Arthur is even lower than that of mutants. But now Arthur has told them with his actual actions that he is much stronger than them... This is not a world where you can gain respect from others just by fighting ability... If Tony was Asian or Indian, he would definitely not be as favored as he is today. The same is true for Kai, but if he was not of authentic Anglo-Saxon descent, he would not have received so many preferential treatments. Racial and bloodline theories have always been popular.

It's just an obvious or unobvious difference. After all, no matter how the Americans promote racial equality and political correctness, it's just a political show by WASPs. The power in the United States is still firmly in the hands of WASPs!

What is WASP? It is an abbreviation for White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.

White means "white people", that is, the white race, also known as the Caucasian race and the European race. They are mainly distributed in Europe, North Africa, West Asia, South Asia, North America, South America and Oceania.

Anglo-Saxon means "Anglo-Saxon ancestry". Anglo-Saxons mainly refer to the ethnic group that lived in the eastern and southern regions of the British Isles from the early fifth century to the middle of the 11th century AD. They are a branch of the Germanic people.

Protestant means "Christian Protestant". Christianity is the world's largest religion. Later, the Roman Empire was divided into two parts: the Eastern Roman Empire and the Western Roman Empire. Christianity was also divided into Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. The Western Roman Empire believed in Catholicism, and the Eastern Roman Empire believed in Eastern Orthodoxy. Later, Catholicism was divided into Protestantism.

WASP sounds complicated, but in fact, it refers to European Americans who believe in Protestantism. They are mainly descendants of immigrants from England and Scotland during the colonial era. Some people call them "blue-blooded aristocrats", which sounds a bit mysterious and a bit sarcastic.

The United States was originally founded by the WASP elites, who occupied the upper class of American society at the time. To this day, WASPs are still extremely powerful in the United States. WASPs are important supporters of the Republican Party in the United States, and the Republican Party has produced many presidents, such as Lincoln, Eisenhower, Reagan, and the Bush father and son.

In American society, WASP-style family memories and their generalized labels have always been the supreme construction of mainstream elite identity. The systematic practical political principles of white Protestant elitism, as a consensus tacitly accepted by all, have always been lurking in the cultural atmosphere of its upper class, and have long written the country's political tendencies and rules of the game. Counting the 45 presidents of the United States since its founding, in the war years, they all held the political capital of participating in the war and served in the war and had an iron-blooded image of conquering everything; in peacetime, they are mostly super orators who have received elite education from prestigious schools.

The national institution of the President of the United States is used as a political tool by the upper-class elite rather than as an identity seeker, and the people elected are mostly the embodiment of so-called mainstream values.

First, every American president from the founding father Washington to Kennedy was a member of this elite group; although Kennedy and the subsequent Reagan and others were not WASPs in the strict sense, they also spared no effort to imitate the values ​​of the mainstream group, which was clearly reflected in winning the favor of this mainstream group through strong diplomacy. In addition, Kennedy, as a hero of World War II, had strong political and image capital, and Reagan's tax cut plan fully catered to conservatives, and they successfully entered the generalized elite circle.

The essence of WASP culture is fully laid out in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of 1787, state constitutions and a series of early political and legal documents in the United States.

From the perspective of political realism of the elite founders, in addition to leaving a window for the universal value of "all men are created equal" and public opinion, the stability and prosperity of the Republic requires the blessing of rationality, wisdom and morality. Therefore, the responsibility of managing public affairs and defending freedom and security naturally falls on the shoulders of the WASP group, the upper elite group and the founders of the United States.

Tony and Kay are typical WASPs. Although they don't care about this identity at all, in the eyes of traditional mainstream white people, they represent themselves.

This gives them an advantage in both public opinion and various invisible benefits. This identity is much more correct than having dark skin!

They have achieved their current status not only because of their fighting ability.

What’s the use of beating?

Black Panther is also a good fighter, but have you seen any reports about him in the mainstream media? In fact, most mainstream media will intentionally or unintentionally ignore him. It is only on the Internet that he is praised by a group of black people, so that he has not been completely unknown.

However, in fact, after discovering that Black Panther was completely disdainful of black people outside of his own country, their admiration for Black Panther soon died down... They originally planned to promote Black Panther as a role model and hero of black people, in order to strengthen the black people's sense of racial superiority, and at the same time to gain more benefits for black people.

As a result...Black Panther cares more about their own country. They don't even care about their black brothers in Africa, let alone black people in the United States.

In fact, in Wakanda they don’t care much about American blacks, because in their opinion, compared with their black brothers in Africa, their American compatriots obviously live better. More importantly, these American blacks look down on their African brothers... American blacks are Americans first, and blacks second. American blacks look down on African blacks.

Black Americans basically come from West Africa, because West Africa is close to the Atlantic Ocean, and this is where European colonists first arrived. Today, the Republic of Benin, located on the coast of the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa, was once called the Slave Coast. Although the blacks who came to the United States were not voluntary, and their fate was very miserable in the early days, they were mainly engaged in heavy planting work, and their lives and health were not guaranteed. However, as the number of blacks increased, white Americans were very worried that their country would be "blackened", so the US government seized a piece of land in West Africa, repatriated black Americans here, and established the Republic of Liberia and the Republic of Maryland. Later, these two countries merged into today's Liberia. However, the reaction of black Americans to this repatriation action by the US government was not strong, and they even resisted it, because at this time, black people were accustomed to life in North America and were unwilling to return to Africa, even if they were slaves in the United States. Don't think that black people are self-indulgent. First of all, the natural environment in the United States is much stronger than in the United States, and at least they can eat enough. Furthermore, even if they went back, they would still be slaves, but they would be slaves of local black chiefs. These American black slaves were originally sold to white traffickers by local chiefs.

So in comparison, American blacks might as well be slaves to white farmers. After all, black slaves need to be purchased with money, and the price is not cheap. White people at least cherish them. If they are replaced by black chiefs, it is simply a primitive slave society. It is good enough not to sacrifice you to the gods. In short, there are very few blacks who voluntarily return to Africa, and most blacks choose to stay in the United States. The subsequent Civil War abolished slavery in the United States, and the status of blacks has improved to a certain extent, but it is still not enough to be on an equal footing with whites. The real racial equality in the United States will not be until after World War II. In the 50s, African-American pastor Martin Luther King began to lead the American black civil rights movement. With the continuous efforts of blacks, they finally gained equal status with whites at the legal level. Today, blacks in the United States have long been Americanized. Their way of thinking is no different from that of American whites, except that they are a little lazy. As for those distant brothers in Africa, American blacks look down on them at all. Africa in the eyes of American blacks is the same as Africa in our eyes. They are both in primitive society, and there is no difference between African blacks and primitive people.

Nowadays, when American blacks travel abroad, they are very disgusted by others confusing them with African blacks. American blacks will solemnly emphasize that they are Americans, American blacks, not those savages in Africa!

This makes the Wakandans in Africa have no good feelings towards American blacks. (In fact, when watching the Black Panther movie, I saw that the father of the panther Eric Stevens, that is, N'Job, the younger brother of the previous king of Wakanda, T'Chaka, actually went to the United States to liberate the blacks there... It made people feel confused. No... Compared with the blacks in the United States, don't the blacks in Africa need to be saved more? The blacks in the United States are considered to have the best living conditions in the world. Even if you want to save them, you have to prioritize them, right? And according to the times at that time, the black movement in South Africa was the most intense. Why didn't he go to South Africa? He had to go to the United States. I don't understand it at all... I feel that this thing is not logical at all.)

This made African Americans in the United States very unhappy, and gradually, no one mentioned the Black Panther anymore.

There's no way to explain this stuff.

Arthur is like this. What's the use of being able to fight? To survive in the world, you need strength and background.

Arthur is just a little punk.

The better he fought, the more unhappy he became among the nobles, because his existence threatened their foundation!

So once they get the chance, they will definitely turn against Arthur and kill him!

There was no other way, and in the end Mera and Atlanna had to personally help Arthur... they even found Orm... and asked Orm to help.

Before, Om was controlled and had been in Asgard. As time went by, Asgard finally solved the problem with him... Actually, it was not a complete solution. After all, they had no way to cure the root cause of the problem of the soul, but it was still a temporary solution.

At least it can allow him to break free from the control of the Dark Trident for a short period of time, or even turn Orm into a detector of the Dark Trident.

So in the end, there is a happy ending, the whole family makes dumplings together!

The whole family worked together to destroy the Dark Trident and kill Black Manta at the same time!
