I was reading “Three Worlds Collide” by EY and noticed a particular fragment (spoken by a Confessor when asked about which side did he take in the debate about human bioengineering):
“But you should not imagine that a violent thief whose closest approach to industry was selling uncertified hard drugs—you should not imagine, my lord, my honorable descendant, that I was ever asked to take sides.”
Akon’s eyes slid away from the hot gaze of the unmixed man; there was something wrong about the thread of anger still there in the memory after five hundred years.
It seems like a reference to some particular event in contemporary American history that I, as a European, missed. Could anyone explain this to me?
