核心提示:黑人布朗被警察枪杀,再次触动美国的种族问题的神经;美国媒体和美国网友热情的关注了这个事情。
8月16日, 美国密苏里州佛格森(Ferguson)镇进入宵禁状态
The choir sang, the preachers shouted and the casket stayed closed. Thebody was taken to the cemetery, and Michael Brown was laid to rest.
abc新闻报道,一个葬礼开始了,教堂唱诗班唱歌了,牧师们在高声祈祷,一个棺材在静静的躺着,迈克尔—布朗可以安息了。
Thus went the most recent enactment of "the ritual" — the scriptof death, outrage, spin and mourning that America follows when an unarmed blackmale is killed by police.
一个最近的葬礼,一个非武装的黑人男性被警察杀害,紧接着的便是愤怒、哀嚎、狂躁声遍布美国。
With a few variations, the ritual has followed its familiar course in the two weeks since the 18-year-old Brown was shot by white police officer Darren Wilsonin this St. Louis suburb. It continues as we await the judgment of a grand juryconsidering whether or not Wilson should be charged with a crime.
说一些插曲,18岁的黑人青年被白人警察达尔文威尔逊杀害,两个星期后就有了这个葬礼,我们继续等待最终的司法判决,关注这个白人警察是否构成犯罪。
Will the ritual ever change, and is it even possible that Ferguson couldbe part of that? This time, can recognition of the well-known patterns helpheal the poisonous mistrust between police and many black people? Is the ritualalready helping, in small gains buried beneath the predictable explosions ofanger and media attention?
弗格森的枪击案能带来一些改变吗?这样熟知的葬礼能治愈警察和很多黑人之间的内心隔阂吗?这个仪式是否正在带来一些积极的作用,哪怕增加很小的、我们所期望的正面关注。
"This tragedy, because the world's attention has been galvanized,this is one of those things that's ripe for change," said Martin LutherKing III after the funeral Monday. "There are no guarantees, but what wecan say is we have to be committed to doing the work to bring about change andjustice."
“这场悲剧,激发起了世界的关注,这对改变一些东西是有利的”马丁路德金在星期一的葬礼之后说,“不一定能成功,但我们必须努力的去带来改变和公义”。
The ritual began to take shape in the 1960s, when instances of police mistreatment of black people led to organized resistance in many places acrossAmerica — and sometimes to violence. As the decades passed, a blueprintdeveloped for how black advocates confronted cases of alleged police brutality:protest marches, news conferences, demands for federal intervention, publicpressure by sympathetic elected officials.
马丁路德金提到的葬礼发生在60年代,在当时,对黑人不公的法令在全美国遭到了有组织的抵制,甚至是暴力抵制。几十年过去了,一个新问题产生了,黑人如何面对不确定的司法暴力:游行、发布新闻、呼吁联邦调查、同情黑人的民选官员给公众施加压力。
Sometimes this led to charges or even convictions of police officers.Sometimes there were riots: Miami in 1980 after police were acquitted in the death of a black motorist; Los Angeles' Rodney King rebellion in 1992;Cincinnati in 2001 when a 19-year-old was fatally shot by an officer; Oakland'suprising in 2009 after Oscar Grant was shot in the back while face-down on atrain platform.
有时这些事情会带来一些影响。但有时则会带来暴力骚乱,比如发生在迈阿密60年代的暴乱,在宣判一个警察对一个黑人汽车驾驶员的死亡无罪之后;比如洛杉矶在1992年的罗德尼王反叛;比如2001年的辛辛那提市,发生在一个19岁的青年被警官射杀;比如奥克兰起义,发生在格兰特被射杀之后。
The 2012 killing of Trayvon Martin by a neighborhood watchman in Floridaadded the transformative element of social media. The public was nowparticipating much more intimately in the ritual.
2012年,在佛罗里达,特拉维马丁被邻家警卫杀死,这使得社会媒体增加了一些变化的元素,更加关注和熟悉马丁的葬礼。
And still, the unarmed black males kept dying. The chants of "NoJustice, No Peace" kept rising.
只要手无寸铁的黑人继续死亡,那么“没有公义,没有和平”的呼喊就不会停止。
So what happened after Brown was shot on Aug. 9 was predictable:
那么,布朗枪击案发生的事情,哪些是预料之中的呢?
First, protests and outrage. A narrative forms in favor of the deceased:According to accounts of several witnesses from Brown's neighborhood, he wasshot with his hands up. He was a "gentle giant" headed to college.Pictures of Brown circulate that show him smiling, baby-faced — reminiscent ofthe childlike photos that first introduced us to Trayvon Martin.
首先,反抗和愤怒。根据很多邻居的见证,布朗是个高大的绅士,他被杀害的时候双手举起,布朗在照片中带着微笑,那副孩子的脸庞让人想起特拉维马丁,另一个被杀害的青年。
The day after Brown's shooting, protesters are met with a militarizedpolice response. Violence and looting erupt, and persist for days. Policerespond with tear gas and rubber bullets, "scenes that have brought backvisions of the 1960s when civil rights activists were met with force in thestreets," says the president of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, La JuneMontgomery Tabron.
在布朗被射杀的后一天,抗议者和军警相遇,暴力和抢劫此起彼伏,持续了好多天,军警动用了催泪瓦斯和橡皮弹。“让我们想起了60年代的黑人公民权利的街头运动”,W.K Kellogg基金会的主席Tabron说。
"This has become an all-too-familiar scenario in America,"Tabron says in a statement.
“这种类似的事情已经在美国家喻户晓”,Tabron郑重的说。
Michael Brown's death goes viral. Ferguson trends on Twitter. A horde ofmedia descends. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson arrive.
布朗之死的消息传播速度很快,在推特上流行,推特是媒体新生部落,夏普顿和杰克逊都用
以下是美国网友评论:
★Blacks have become the permanent pity party. No failure is their fault. No lack of success requires a single mirror. Its always someone else's fault and its getting old. This isn't equal rights anymore its special rights. The right to not follow a policeman's instructions. The right to take what doesn't belong to you and the right to riot when you don't like something.Top this off with these lame dramatic "Quest for Civil Rights"articles. that try to invent a narrative that borders on fantasy. this isn't the civil war, its not the 60s. Its 2014. We have a black President, attorney general and many many other black leaders that represent all of us. If you are still crying for more "equal rights" you are going to find that other races are getting tired of it.
黑人已经成为一个极端政党,他们不认为他们的失败是自己的问题,且从不检讨自己,从来都认为是别人的错误。这不是平等权利的问题,而是他们要求特殊权利,这样的特殊权利可以不服从警察的指令,这样的特殊权利要求得到不属于自己的东西,且有权利发狂,只要你不喜欢一些东西。把所谓的“寻找公民权利”的文章拿出来是毫无说服力的,甚至很滑稽,这不是南北战争也不是60年代,这是2014年,我们有黑人总统、律师和其他的黑人领导。如果你还在哭着要所谓的“平等权利”,那你会发现其他的人种会厌恶你们。
★The "ritual of death"? Just for the record, 90.1%of homicides are committed by blacks on blacks. If there were 96 killings ofblack folks by the police in a country of 314 million, people what is the percentage of killings committed by the police? I'm not sure if the 314 millionfigure includes Obama's "unaccompanied minors" or not. Sharpton and company need to stop whining and wage a war on the thugs that terrorize their community.
“死亡葬礼”?先看个数据,90.1%的黑人被谋杀案是黑人干的。就算有96宗黑人谋杀案是警察干的,在这个拥有3.14亿的国度里,比例又有多少呢?当然,我不知道这3.14亿是不是包括奥巴马所说的无助的儿童。Sharpton之流应该停止哀嚎然后去对抗那些真正威胁他们社区的流氓。
★Here's to the millions of young people in this country who aren't drug-addled thugs that didn't get shot in the last two weeks!
这里还有百万的青年人,都是良好青年,在前两个星期没有被谋杀。
★I guess ABC and democrats only care about black deaths. How about changing the "ritual of death"? Too much to ask?
我猜ABC和民主当然只关心黑人的死亡,能不能改掉“死亡葬礼”这个名字?
★Blacks have become targets
WASHINGTON — Nearly two times a week in the United States, a white police officer killed a black person during a seven-year period ending in 2012, according to the most recent accounts of justifiable homicide reported to the FBI. On average, there were 96 such incidents among at least 400 police killings each year that were reported to the FBI by local police. The numbers appear to show that the shooting of a black teenager in Ferguson, Mo., was not an isolated event in American policing. The reports show that 18% of the blacks killed during those seven years were under age 21, compared to 8.7% of whites. The victim in Ferguson was 18-year-old Michael Brown; witnesses have said the officer was white.
While the racial analysis is striking, the database it's based on has been long considered flawed and largely incomplete. The killings are self-reported by law enforcement and not all police departments participate so the database undercounts the actual number of deaths. Plus, the numbers are not audited after they are submitted to the FBI and the statistics on "justifiable" homicides have conflicted with independent measures of fatalities at the hands of police.
黑人成为了靶子
华盛顿-几乎每星期就发生一次白人警察枪杀黑人的事情,在过去的7年间。根据FBI的谋杀统计,至少有96起警察谋杀案(在至少400起中间)每年都要报告给FBI,数据显示弗格森谋杀案不是一个孤立事件。18%黑人谋杀案的受害者是不到21岁的,而只有8.7%的白人是这样。弗格森案的受害人是18岁的黑人青年。
当然,做种族主义的解读是很吸引眼球的,实际上这些数据也不是百分之百精确,可能极不完整,很多谋杀案没有上报或者没有被充分的统计。当然,一些谋杀案的本身也存在争议。
