Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

In the living room, Mrs. Andrea sat on the sofa, staring intently at Link, "Do you know about what’s happening outside? Do you have any strategies?"

Link thought for a moment, "Respond unchangingly to what is ever changing."

The statement sounded a bit profound, and after thinking it over, Mrs. Andrea furrowed her brows, "Do you mean to do nothing at all?"

Link nodded.

Instantly, Mrs. Andrea became furious, her fists involuntarily clenching. The public opinion outside was about to explode with criticism all aimed at him, yet he remained so calm, speaking of responding unchangingly to a myriad of changes; it was clearly self-abandonment.

It didn’t matter if he abandoned himself, but not Taylor. Taylor’s career was on the rise and must not be affected by him.

Seeing Mrs. Andrea ready to burst into flames, Link hurriedly spoke, "It’s not that I’m doing nothing; much has already been done. We need to see how things unfold before making our next move."

Such words were as good as saying nothing!

Mrs. Andrea snorted, looking at Taylor who was yawning carelessly, obviously indifferent, and she felt her anger surge uncontrollably.

"Convince him? To do what?"

Taylor asked in confusion.

"Haven’t you seen the news? Many people are criticizing him, demanding he apologize to Kanye, and those people are also saying he slandered the newly-elected one, demanding he step up and confess to his crimes or face being banned. You’re not aware of this?"

Mrs. Andrea exclaimed, slapping her thigh.

Taylor scratched his head, embarrassedly saying, "Is it that serious? I’ve been writing songs in my room and haven’t been watching TV. I saw how relaxed Link was, so I thought it was not a big deal."

"It’s not a big deal at all, you focus on writing songs, don’t worry about the rest."

Link said, wrapping his arms around Taylor’s waist.

Taylor lifted an elbow and bumped it against his stomach, signaling for him to let go and not to be a public nuisance.

Mrs. Andrea saw that the two were still fooling around at a time like this and felt utterly weary.

When faced with trouble, the two six-foot men didn’t care about anything, but she, a five-foot woman, had to bear the brunt of it; it was truly exhausting.

She glanced at Link’s aunt and manager, who was leisurely drinking coffee, and scoffed internally, so be it, let it all fall apart. Maybe when Link’s world collapsed, she could take the opportunity to persuade Taylor to break it off with him.

Thinking this way, Mrs. Andrea’s mood improved instantly. Link’s misfortune was her opportunity—why should she worry for him?

Hearing Link invite her to breakfast, she didn’t decline and cheerfully headed towards the dining room.

After several prominent African American actors and popular singers spoke out, and with a day of widespread sharing, even more people demanded Link to apologize. ṚἈƝо฿Ěꞩ

Initially, they criticized Link for disrespecting Kanye, but it gradually escalated into alleged discrimination and offending the dignity of darker-skinned communities.

Since Link had never made any discriminatory remarks, those accusing him of discrimination had no solid evidence.

Until a video on YouTube was posted claiming that during championships, Link would fight fiercely against darker-skinned opponents, beating them to the ground, whereas with white boxers, he often went easy on them.

For example, in matches, he had knocked out Andrea Berto, Morales, Pitts, Aragon, and others, all of darker skin, and they suffered terrible defeats against him, with many gory scenes in the video.

Whereas white boxers like Andzeje were often treated with leniency by him.

This was also presented as evidence of Link’s alleged discrimination.

After seeing this video, those attacking Link were overjoyed, taking the video as proof, ready to permanently label him as ’discriminatory.’

Singers like Lil Wayne and 50 Cent, using their personal accounts, shared the video, strongly demanding that Link apologize and calling upon the sports commission to revoke his boxing license, prohibiting him from participating in boxing matches ever again.

The self-proclaimed ’King of South Coast Rap’ T.I. even re-edited the video with a somewhat satirical rap soundtrack and posted it on YouTube, mocking Link, garnering over a million views in just two days.

The situation suddenly became much more severe.

"Link, are you stepping on someone’s cake? Maybe you should just quit being a singer. The competition in the entertainment industry is fiercer than in boxing; you might just ruin both your reputation and career."

Franco Duvall said over the phone.

Link laughed, "Could the boxing association really revoke my license?"

"Of course not, if they revoked your license over this, the whole boxing industry would be finished, something no one wants to see. Don’t worry about the video; I’m just concerned that these incidents might affect your upcoming matches."

Franco said.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine. This little thing can’t affect me."

After a brief conversation, Link hung up the phone and exercised in the training room while listening to music.

Following the viral video, a few more boxing match videos appeared on YouTube.

These included matches with white boxers like Rocky Marciano, Tommy Morrison, and the Klitschko brothers, who had defeated black boxers several times and aggressively taken their Golden Belts, so they were also suspected of racism.

These videos seemed nonsensical and more like a satire of the previous one but still gained support from some darker-skinned people, who called boxers like Rocky Marciano racists and demanded their removal from the Boxing Hall of Fame.

Things had gone too far.

This forced the President of the American Amateur Boxing Association, Yunus Musa, WBA President Gilberto Mendoza, and WBC President Jose Sulaiman, who had planned to wait a few days before commenting, to speak out in succession.

They stated that whether it was Link’s match or the matches involving light-skinned boxers like Rocky Marciano, Tommy Morrison, and the Klitschko brothers, all were absolutely normal competitive behaviors and had absolutely nothing to do with racial discrimination.

Well-known boxing promoters Lou Duva, Don King, Bob Arum, and black champions like Ali, Mike Tyson, Holyfield, Lennox Lewis all stepped forward to give media interviews.

They expressed that boxing is a game for the brave and has never involved racial discrimination, not in the past and not in the future.

Because if such incidents were deemed racial discrimination, then no one would be willing to fight against darker-skinned boxers. Those boxers would be isolated in the boxing community, profoundly affecting the interests of the darker-skinned boxers and the entire boxing industry.

Such career-damaging rhetoric must not be allowed to spread.

With the accusations of racial discrimination being unfounded, those people then sought other excuses to attack Link.

"Link, Washington just called and they hope you can come forward and express a desire for reconciliation. They will also persuade Kanye, Lier, and others to stop all unfriendly actions and reconcile with you. What do you think?"

Miss Eva called and said.

"What’s your opinion? You’re the president; I’ll follow your lead," Link said.

"Do you really listen to everything I say?" Miss Eva asked with a mock smile.

"On work matters," Link said.

"Of course, it’s about work matters. What else did you think I’d want you to do?" Miss Eva huffed, "We should still give some face to the White House. The shareholders behind several major companies in the entertainment industry are mostly Democrats and Obama’s donors. We can’t simply ignore their views.

However, mere reconciliation will not recover our losses. Over these days, they have constantly splashed mud on you, severely damaging your public image and our company’s operations. We need Kanye and others to come forward to apologize and clear your name."

"Will they agree?"

"We can try; I have a plan."

As Link listened to Miss Eva’s plan, he became increasingly horrified, feeling a chill run down his spine.

He silently reminded himself never to provoke this woman; if he ever did anger her, he wouldn’t even know how he died.

"Another call from Eva?"

After hanging up the phone, Taylor came down from upstairs with a small crossbody bag, her delicate face stern and her eyes looking at him unkindly.

"It’s about work," Link said, worried she might overthink and added, "Washington called, wanting me to make up with Kanye. See, I told you they are more anxious than we are, and you don’t need to worry anymore. This will soon pass."

Taylor nodded slightly and hummed a tune as she walked out.

Link suddenly noticed she was wearing makeup with a printed short blouse, a blue denim skirt, and loafer black leather shoes, looking very fashionable and beautiful.

"Wait, where are you going?"

"On a date, with a really handsome guy," Taylor said without looking back.

Link shook his head, thinking about Miss Eva’s suggestion. He was about to implement her advice when he suddenly remembered a song on Twitter that fit his current situation well.

After inquiring over the phone and finding it wasn’t there, he decided to give it a try.
