America 1982-Chapter 431 - 63: The Philosophers_2

During filming, they would switch identities: the white beauty headed to the street gangs to enjoy the adoration of the black gang members, like stars holding the moon, while the black girl was sent to a poolside mansion to revel in the adulation that typically surrounds gentlemen and ladies of high society.

Then, the black audience and white audience both got to see what they desired.

Black people enjoy seeing whites make fools of themselves, so the show let them see how, if white folks had the same deplorable living conditions, their outcomes would be even more miserable than the remarkably enduring black people.

Even a billionairess from the upper class would, once on the streets, find herself hopelessly following a gang to distribute goods. After her supposed gang leader "father" got arrested and their cash was seized by the police, she went to her family for advice. They just handed her a gun: if she didn’t seek vengeance, she’d be thrown out of the gang, and if she didn’t have the courage to commit murder as an act of revenge but still wanted to fill her stomach, she’d have to accept the suggestions of the underlings from earlier and exchange pitiful bills for their "favors." Because she had a college education and understood Russian, she was treated as a gang translator, establishing connections with the Russian gang for collaboration.

Whites, on the other hand, preferred to see blacks making fools of themselves. Therefore, the show would demonstrate that even with an affluent lifestyle, black people remained garbage. For example, the black girl with an American Express Black Card, when introduced by her supposed white "father" to other high-class individuals, her first instinct was to push some crack at a high price on these folks who tipped waiters with ten-dollar bills. And to maintain this kind of lifestyle after the program, she hoped to land a wealthy sucker, so she actively approached a promising white young man on the show. They had a fling, and the consequence was that the unfortunate white guy was found by a private doctor the next day to have contracted four diseases from his encounter with the black girl, almost causing his entire club to rot.

The whole program from start to end contained no nudity or suggestive shots, but it could make your mind conjure up all the unseemly scenes you didn’t see.

For instance, when you watched the white girl sitting in a fast food restaurant, devouring cheap steak, and recalled the offer the gang members made to her earlier, you knew what sort of transaction she had just completed, and understood whether she exchanged that steak with her mouth, front, or back.

Or, for example, when the private doctor mentioned that the unlucky white hunk had contracted four diseases, including erosion at the tip of his tongue, you knew what kind of unrestrained position he and the black girl had used.

Without any pornographic scenes, without any visuals or lines unsuitable for children, this show could air with absolute impunity during primetime, with families sitting on the sofa together to enjoy it.

A reality show full of positive energy and suitable for family entertainment.

They say, by the third episode of the reality show, when the white young man was diagnosed with four diseases from a single encounter, bookings at private clinics soared; many white men who had slept with black girls went to have a health checkup.

There were also more cases of youth gun violence than usual since many whites and blacks, taunted and infuriated by others, chose to rent a few episodes of "All-Around Gun Modding King" and upgrade their home arsenal, enacting divine retribution on those truly deserving of a rotten tongue.

Both black and white audiences enjoyed the show; then, after viewing it, they would blow up the call lines with complaints, demanding the FCC force BT Television to delete footage of women of their own race, turning the dual-female lead show into a single lead.

"This show and all the staff involved have been blacklisted by the Emmy Awards because of its lowbrow nature, Boss," said the white man who had just switched the screen to the news. "If we continue producing this show, we’ll be forever blacklisted. All the TV program critics are accusing us, countless viewers write in to lambast us for making such a vulgar and lowbrow program. We even got feedback from the FCC that Congress might consider having the Television Program Review Committee hold a special meeting to discuss whether to ban it on the grounds that it’s too obscene to air during primetime."

Tommy took out some chewing gum from the pocket of Rick’s suit jacket, tossed two pieces into his mouth, then looked at the man at least fifteen years his senior, "Whether it gets banned or not isn’t for you to worry about, kid, You’ve used the word ’lowbrow’ three times just now to describe this program, Are you fucking insulting me, insulting BT, insulting all black people in the United State America? I’m gonna give you a special appearance, so you can repeat what you just said in front of the camera."

"I didn’t insult black people, Boss, I just..."

"You fucking did!" Tommy slammed his hands down on the desk and stared intensely at the man who became uneasy at the mention of insulting black people.

The others in the room tensed up at Tommy’s words, except for the few true black people present.

"But insulting me, insulting BT, insulting black people, those don’t matter. Do you know what enrages me the most?" Tommy slowly rose from his seat, walked over to the man, carefully straightened his tie while admiring the diamond-studded tie clip, and spoke in a softer tone,

"You’re insulting those colleagues who worked with you to produce such a great show, insulting yourself. That’s what makes me angry. What makes you think you’re lowbrow? Those TV critics with mouths filthier than sewer rats? Or the black people who only like watching whites embarrass themselves, the whites who only like watching blacks make a fool of themselves, or even the members of Congress who claim to speak for the people of America but only keep their secretaries busy hiring high-end call girls while making the taxpayers foot the bill? In front of those people, what right the fuck do you have to call yourself lowbrow? Are you fucking worthy?"
