I'm building Gundams in America
Chapter 71 The Remnants of the Black Panther Party
It was Brant, the old black man whose son was shot and killed after receiving a football scholarship, who introduced us.
Looking at the information about Sheila Jones that appeared on the panel, Wayne understood.
A Black woman who works two jobs for years to raise three children demonstrates remarkable maternal love.
In America, a Black mother often does not abandon her child, but rather chooses to lower her quality of life and endure hardship in order to raise her child.
For example, Gloria James, the mother of NBA star LeBron James, worked multiple jobs to support LeBron during his childhood, including working night shifts at a convenience store and as a caregiver, earning less than $700 a month.
Moreover, in order to avoid gangs in the slums, he moved many times, 12 times in 5 years.
At Dongda University, there is also a great mother who kept moving for her child, known as Mencius' mother.
Before LeBron James signed with the NBA in 2003, his mother mortgaged their only property to pay for his high school training.
If a child is not successful, they will basically end up with nothing.
Of course, in Black communities, if a husband is lost, there are often grandmothers and other relatives who help out, including uncles and godfathers, who naturally take on some of the father's functions.
Wayne sighed and said gently:
"Madam, please bow your head... By the way, I have great respect for the Black Panther Party."
The Black woman in front of him lowered her head, but the next instant she suddenly jumped up as if electrocuted, her eyes flashing with terror, and said:
"My God! How...how did you know?! You're an FBI agent?! And you still won't let me go?!"
"No...no...if you really were an FBI agent, Thor would have been dead in the street long ago..."
Silas shook his head, then suddenly realized something and whispered:
"My God...you really are a medium! Oh my God..."
The Black Panther Party was the most influential radical Black movement organization from the 1960s to the 1980s.
This organization is known for its armed self-defense against racial oppression and for promoting community revolution.
At the time, they provided free breakfasts for children in 45 cities across the United States, opened 13 free clinics, elected Oakland's first black mayor, and had their own armed forces.
It was listed as the number one domestic threat by the FBI.
It can be considered the pinnacle of the Black civil rights movement.
It even seemed like it was about to happen.
However, seeing that the Black Panther Party had already gained scale and momentum, the American upper class stopped pretending and directly overturned the table.
In 1969, the U.S. authorities launched Operation Chicago, in which police raided the Black Panther Party headquarters and shot and killed Black Panther Party leader Fred Hampton on the spot.
At the same time, they falsely accused Ericka Huggins, the leader of the Black Panther Party, of murder. They also carried out mass arrests and killings of key members of the Black Panther Party.
By 1982, the number of Black Panther Party branches across the United States had plummeted from 48 to 3, and the Black Panther Party had completely faded away.
In 1989, Hugh Newton, the Black Panther Party’s chief theorist, died in a “drug trafficking firefight.”
The entire Black Panther Party was virtually wiped out from that point on.
Stigmatization + internal division + physical extermination.
After this barrage of attacks, the Black Panther Party simply couldn't withstand it.
Even Sheila Jones, a Black Panther widow, has lived in fear for years, terrified that the FBI agents will remember her and her children again.
Wayne's expression remained gentle as he said:
"Please bow your head, ma'am."
By placing his palm on the other person's head, Wayne instantly activated the [Basic Witch Doctor] skill.
He could sense that the other person's body, like those of the other patients who came for treatment, was filled with all sorts of old injuries and ailments.
Sheila Jones has some problems with various joints, which are clearly caused by years of overwork when she was young.
The most serious problem was her waist.
Problems left over from childbirth and years of working with a bent back have caused severe damage to my lower back.
After all, postpartum confinement is not common at Xida University; people usually have to go back to work two days after giving birth.
There were no taboos such as avoiding wind, avoiding cold, or avoiding heavy loads.
You might have to drink several glasses of ice water that day.
If you do this, no one will avoid getting sick.
In the end, the only way to live a normal life is to take painkillers long-term.
Many women become addicted to painkillers after giving birth, then turn to stimulants, and fall below the critical threshold for pregnancy.
"The great origin of the Way comes from Heaven; let us carefully enlighten the wise men of Heaven with the Way of Heaven."
Heaven punishes the wicked and blesses the virtuous; turn back early and you'll face the ancestral whip...
Wayne chanted the "Original Way of Salvation," and the witch doctor's energy slowly enveloped Silas's waist, then began to rapidly heal her injuries.
Sila felt as if a warm current was enveloping her aching lower back and abdomen. The pain that had plagued her for years began to lessen rapidly, and she even felt a warm sensation.
"Damn it, did you put some kind of angelic essence into my womb? Why do I feel like my lower back is being enveloped by Michael's wings, like the whole of heaven has fucking crawled inside me!"
This indescribable comfort, the dissipation of pain that she had never truly felt in so many years, made Silas unable to help but swear.
Wayne said slowly:
"Relax, relax, Silas, this is what you deserve as a mother."
As soon as Wayne finished speaking, Silas began to sob, large tears streaming down her face, murmuring:
"God... saints... thank you... thank you... thank you..."
Only she herself knew how much torment she had endured for so many years.
Although painkillers could provide temporary relief, she always remembered her husband's words: never become addicted to those things.
And for the sake of her children, she absolutely cannot become addicted to drugs.
So for many years, she has mostly been forcing herself to endure it.
Now, all of this has finally been alleviated, and she can live like a normal person without having to feel the constant pain.
This was a kind of salvation for her.
Sila seemed to recall many long-forgotten stories from her memory, and murmured:
"Over the years, I've often woken up in the middle of the night in pain... Every time this happens, I remember what Thor's father, Cole, told me when he was still alive..."
"He said, 'There is nothing difficult in this world, as long as you are willing to climb that painful mountain.' This was the only spiritual support that kept me going..."
"He didn't say that either. It was something Hugh Newton read in that little red book when he was with the Black Panther Party... Many years have passed since then..."
Wayne nodded slightly.
Unexpectedly, the black woman in front of me had a connection with Hugh Newton.
Hugh Newton was the Black Panther Party’s chief theorist at the time, reciting Mao’s quotations on the streets of Oakland.
This ignited a flame of hope for Black people and provided the FBI with an excellent pretext for repression.
This land does not allow the existence of truth.
America is not worthy of that ideal either.
Wayne had finished his treatment by then. Silas wiped the tears from her face and could feel that her illness was at least 70-80% cured.
The remaining discomfort is nothing at all.
He then pulled a roll of banknotes from his pocket and respectfully placed it in the pile of voodoo bones in front of Wayne, saying with a devout expression:
"Sir, thank you for the exorcism and blessing. I feel much better..."
She had placed a full eight hundred dollars in the voodoo bone pile.
Wayne smiled gently and said:
"You're welcome, madam. There are still some... well, evil spirits from the deep government haunting you. You can come here often until you are completely cured."
Then he lowered his voice and said:
"For the Black Panther Party."
Sheila Jones, having regained her usual cheerful demeanor, immediately burst into laughter and said:
"Yes, sir, I will follow your instructions as obediently as a fucking Alabama nigger in a cotton field!"
He then gave Wayne a big hug, bowed his head and respectfully kissed the back of Wayne's hand before getting up and leaving.
Your basic witch doctor skills have been improved (Specialization 54% + 1%).
[Experience points +1]
"Next," Wayne said in a deep voice.
The day passed quickly. Wayne performed exorcisms and blessings on fifteen patients in a row, and before he knew it, it was evening.
Your basic witch doctor skills have been improved (Specialization 55% + 15%).
[Experience points +15]
Looking at the panel, the experience points have reached 77/100. In less than two days, I will be able to condense a new free attribute point!
His basic witch doctor skills have also been upgraded to 70% mastery, and Wayne is looking forward to the next stage of improvement.
What comes after specialization? Master?
Just then, I heard a commotion outside.
Then the tent was lifted, and a man covered in blood crawled in. Beside him was a girl, covered in wounds and trembling, who was still desperately trying to support him.
"Sir, please..."
It's Jose.
