A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
种族歧视
Racism
You go, well you can't joke about race. Well if you're from a different race and that's your experience of the world and you want to talk about that, then fine. Or you can't talk about disability, but disabled comics can talk about that.
你不能拿种族开玩笑。如果你来自不同的种族，这就是你对世界的体验，你想谈论这个，那就好。或者你不能谈论残疾，但是残疾漫画可以谈论这个。
I think racial profiling is wrong. It cannot be defended. It's just flat wrong. And if a matter came before me, and it could be established that the arrest was made strictly on racial profiling, when I was on the bench, it would be gone.
我认为种族定性是错误的。这是无法辩护的。完全错了。如果有什么事情摆在我面前，可以确定的是，这次逮捕完全是基于种族定性，当我在法官席上的时候，它就消失了。
But black people fall for that same argument, and they go around talking about law breakers. We did not make the laws in this country. We are neither morally nor legally confined to those laws. Those laws that keep them up, keep us down.
但是黑人也陷入了同样的争论，他们到处谈论违法者。我们没有在这个国家制定法律。我们在道义上和法律上都不受这些法律的约束。那些让他们向上的法律，也让我们向下。
It was the best route to get folks to understand segregation fast. Civil rights and women's rights had a clear history. Making the transition to rights for people with disabilities became easier because we had the history of the other two.
这是让人们快速了解种族隔离的最佳途径。民权和妇女权利有着明确的历史。为残疾人争取权利的过渡变得更加容易，因为我们有另外两个国家的历史。
Some white people hate black people, and some white people love black people, some black people hate white people, and some black people love white people. So you see it's not an issue of black and white, it's an issue of Lovers and Haters.
有些白人讨厌黑人，有些白人喜欢黑人，有些黑人讨厌白人，有些黑人喜欢白人。所以你看，这不是一个黑白分明的问题，这是一个爱与恨的问题。
From the right, you get demagogues shouting about brown-skinned anchor babies and clamoring to deport the undocumented. From the left, you get advocacy for the oppressed but otherwise, when it comes to national civic identity, mainly silence.
从右边，你可以看到煽动者对棕色皮肤的锚宝宝大喊大叫，大声疾呼要驱逐无证移民。从左派，你可以为受压迫的人争取权益，但在其他方面，当涉及到国家公民身份时，主要是沉默。
People feel uncomfortable talking about racial issues out of fear that if they express things, they will be characterized in a way that's not fair. I think that there is still a need for a dialogue about things racial that we've not engaged in.
人们在谈论种族问题时感到不自在，因为他们担心，如果他们表达自己的观点，他们会被描述成不公平的人。我认为仍然有必要就我们没有涉及的种族问题进行对话。
We do not want the racial antipathies or national antagonisms of the Old World transformed to this continent - as they will, should we become a part of European politics. The people of this country are overwhelmingly for a policy of neutrality.
我们不希望旧世界的种族仇恨或民族对立转变为这一大陆- -如果我们成为欧洲政治的一部分，他们将会这样做。这个国家的人民绝大多数支持中立政策。
No one can compare us to the apartheid regime. It's not like in South Africa between the blacks and the whites who belong to the same nation, or in Berlin where you find parents living on the eastern side and their children in the western side.
没有人能把我们比作种族隔离制度。不像在南非，黑人和白人属于同一个国家，也不像在柏林，父母住在东部，孩子住在西部。
A genocide in Africa has not received the same attention that genocide in Europe or genocide in Turkey or genocide in other part of the world. There is still this kind of basic discrimination against the African people and the African problems.
非洲的种族灭绝没有象欧洲的种族灭绝、土耳其的种族灭绝或世界其他地区的种族灭绝那样受到重视。这种对非洲人民和非洲问题的基本歧视仍然存在。
The minute you got the Nobel Peace Prize, things that I said yesterday, with nobody paying too much attention, I say the same things after I got it - oh! It was quite crucial for people, and it helped our morale because apartheid did look invincible.
从你获得诺贝尔和平奖的那一刻起，就是我昨天说的那些话，没有人太在意，我获得诺贝尔和平奖后也说了同样的话——哦!这对人们来说非常重要，它帮助了我们的士气，因为种族隔离看起来确实是不可战胜的。
Everybody now admits that apartheid was wrong, and all I did was tell the people who wanted to know where I come from how we lived in South Africa. I just told the world the truth. And if my truth then becomes political, I can't do anything about that.
现在每个人都承认种族隔离制度是错误的，我所做的就是告诉那些想知道我来自哪里的人我们在南非是如何生活的。我只是告诉世界真相。如果我的真相变成政治，我就无能为力了。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I feel the feminist movement has excluded black women. You cannot talk about being black and a woman within traditional feminist dialogue.
我觉得女权运动排斥了黑人女性。你不能在传统的女权主义对话中谈论黑人和女性。
It is not enough to live together in peace, with one race on its knees.
一个种族跪在地上，和平共处是不够的。
I think the idea is now for blacks to write about the history of our music. It's time for that, because whites have been doing it all the time. It's time for us to do it ourselves and tell it like it is.
我认为现在的想法是让黑人来书写我们音乐的历史。是时候这么做了，因为白人一直在这么做。是我们自己动手的时候了，要实事求是。
No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because he belongs to this or that race he will be advanced in life regardless of his own merits or efforts.
对任何青年来说，最大的伤害莫过于让他感到，因为他属于这个或那个种族，无论他自己的功绩或努力如何，他都会在生活中获得进步。
By the time I was at college, I became very alert to the question of racial discrimination, and I remember one of my first writing attempts had to do with a lynching.
在我上大学的时候，我对种族歧视问题变得非常警觉，我记得我最初的一次写作尝试与私刑有关。
The very first time I was on a car in Atlanta, I saw the conductor - all conductors are white - ask a Negro woman to get up and take a seat farther back in order to make a place for a white man. I have also seen white men requested to leave the Negro section of the car.
我第一次在亚特兰大坐车时，看到售票员——所有的售票员都是白人——请一位黑人妇女站起来，坐到靠后的座位上，以便给一位白人男子让座。我还看到白人被要求离开汽车的黑人区。
