A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
种族歧视
Racism
Sadly, black people disassociate ourselves from the things which make us who we are, identifying them as lesser, or inferior. It's a form of self hate. So, with reckless abandon, we strive to be like the majority.
可悲的是，黑人把自己与那些造就我们的东西割裂开来，认为它们不如我们，或者不如我们。这是一种自我憎恨。因此，我们不计后果地放纵自己，努力像大多数人一样。
There are a lot of people who like to think they don't have prejudices and that they're open people, and yet, we all have that in ourselves, oftentimes against people of our own race or our own gender or whatever.
有很多人喜欢认为他们没有偏见，他们是开放的人，然而，我们都有这样的想法，经常针对我们自己的种族或性别或其他什么人。
I brought together experts from health care, business, academic institutions, and the community to develop a comprehensive blueprint for eliminating racial and ethnic disparities in health care in the City of Boston.

My dad worked two jobs and moved us to the suburbs, and just being a black person, I went through a lot of racism and being called names and being bullied every single day. And it was hard. I didn't have any friends.
我爸爸做两份工作，然后把我们搬到了郊区，作为一个黑人，我经历了很多种族歧视，每天都被人骂，被人欺负。这很难。我没有朋友。
The hardest thing I had to overcome in life? I think racism. That's so difficult because I don't think anyone can ever understand it. It's not that people don't want to understand it, but they don't want to touch it.
人生中最难克服的事是什么?我认为种族歧视。那太难了，因为我认为没有人能理解它。不是人们不想理解它，而是他们不想去触摸它。
The music field was the first to break down racial barriers, because in order to play together, you have to love the people you are playing with, and if you have any racial inhibitions, you wouldn't be able to do that.
音乐领域是第一个打破种族障碍的领域，因为为了一起演奏，你必须爱和你一起演奏的人，如果你有任何种族禁忌，你就无法做到。
When old settlers say ‘One has to understand the country,’ what they mean is, ‘You have to get used to our ideas about the native.’ They are saying, in effect, ‘Learn our ideas, or otherwise get out; we don’t want you.’
当老殖民者说“一个人必须了解这个国家”时，他们的意思是“你必须习惯我们对原住民的看法”。他们实际上是在说，学习我们的想法，否则就滚蛋;我们不需要你。”
All of the philosophers I studied were white (with a few Eastern exceptions), and, for that matter, they were all male. Africa, the cradle of civilization, seemed to have no footing in the highest form of human thought.
我研究的所有哲学家都是白人(除了少数东方的例外)，而且，就这点而言，他们都是男性。非洲，文明的摇篮，似乎没有立足于人类思想的最高形式。
Sometimes it is claimed by those who argue that race is just a social construct that the human genome project shows that because people share roughly 99% of their genes in common, that there are no races. This is silly.
有些人认为种族只是一种社会结构，而人类基因组计划表明，由于人们有大约99%的基因相同，所以不存在种族。这是愚蠢的。
In disposition the Negro is joyous, flexible, and indolent; while the many nations which compose this race present a singular diversity of intellectual character, of which the far extreme is the lowest grade of humanity.
在性格上，黑人是快乐的，灵活的，懒惰的;虽然构成这个种族的许多国家具有独特的智力特征，其中最极端的是人类的最低等级。
The black community now in many ways divided itself the way the larger white community divides itself, over class issues. And that race is no longer the bond that it once was. That's one of the prices you pay for progress.
现在黑人社区在很多方面分裂了就像更大的白人社区在阶级问题上分裂一样。这个种族不再像过去那样紧密相连。这是你为进步付出的代价之一。
We cannot continually barricade ourselves under some falsified idea of race, because our idea of blackness and race is simply reactionary. Africans didn't walk around Africa being black and proud, they walked around proud.
我们不能不断地把自己禁锢在一些虚假的种族观念之下，因为我们对黑人和种族的观念仅仅是反动的。非洲人并不是骄傲的黑人，他们是骄傲的。
KEEP EXPLORING

It's not even about black and white anymore, because so many people are from mixed backgrounds and mixed ethnicities, and it's just a great time to be able to pull all that together.
这甚至不再是关于黑人和白人的问题了，因为很多人来自不同的背景和不同的种族，这是一个很好的时机，能够把所有这些融合在一起。

体重问题，种族问题总是存在的，如果你允许它们影响你，你允许它们影响你，那么是的，它们影响你。但是我的问题是我有很多其他的事情要担心，我不能担心别人对我的看法。
