Prologue: Prologue Ira Glass From WBEZ Chicago, it's This American Life.
序言:序言 来自 WBEZ 芝加哥的 Ira Glass,这就是美国生活。
I'm Ira Glass.
我是艾拉·格拉斯。
It's been such an extraordinary and painful few weeks since the killing of George Floyd.
自从乔治·弗洛伊德被杀以来,这是一段非同寻常且痛苦的几周。
And we have a show today with people in scenes that we recorded this past week, trying to capture what this moment feels like and how different people are reacting and what they're doing.
今天我们有一个节目,人们在上周录制的场景中,试图捕捉这一刻的感觉以及不同的人的反应和他们正在做的事情。
And I know usually right here at the top of the show, I jump right in with some story.
我知道通常在节目的开头,我会直接讲一些故事。
But I think it actually captures what lots of people are feeling this week a lot better to start with this essay from one of our producers, Bim Adewunmi.
但我认为,从我们的制作人之一 Bim Adewunmi 的这篇文章开始,它实际上更好地体现了许多人本周的感受。
Here she is.
她在这里。
The year I came to live and work in America, 962 people were shot and killed by police across the country.
我来美国生活和工作的那一年,全国有 962 人被警察枪杀。
Or maybe the number was 1,093.
或者这个数字可能是 1,093。
It depends on who you ask about 2016.
这取决于你向谁询问 2016 年的情况。
One project that counted the dead found that black males aged 15 to 34 were nine times more likely than other Americans to be killed by law enforcement.
一项统计死亡人数的项目发现,15 岁至 34 岁的黑人男性被执法部门杀害的可能性是其他美国人的九倍。
In case you've become fuzzy on timelines, Michael Brown was shot by police in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014.
如果你对时间线感到模糊的话,迈克尔·布朗 (Michael Brown) 于 2014 年在密苏里州弗格森被警察枪杀。
Walter Scott was shot in the back by police in Charleston, South Carolina in 2015.
2015 年,沃尔特·斯科特 (Walter Scott) 在南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿被警察从背部开枪射中。
In 2016, Alton Sterling was killed by police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
2016年,奥尔顿·斯特林在路易斯安那州巴吞鲁日被警察杀害。
And a day later, in Falcon Heights, Minnesota, police shot and killed Philando Castile, while he was in his car with his partner and her 4-year-old daughter.
一天后,在明尼苏达州法尔肯高地,警察开枪打死了菲兰多·卡斯蒂尔(Philando Castile),当时他和他的伴侣以及她 4 岁的女儿在车里。
Those last two incidents were recorded.
最后两起事件均被记录下来。
Both were viewed by the public at large.
两者都受到广大公众的关注。
At the time Sterling and Castile were killed in 2016, I'd been living in New York for four months.
2016 年斯特林和卡斯提尔被杀时,我已经在纽约生活了四个月。
I'd come to America to report on the presidential election campaigns with a wry British eye.
我来到美国是为了用英国人的扭曲眼光来报道总统竞选活动。
I no longer have the original text of my visa application, but I remember distinctly that it mentioned both the 19th century French social scientist Alexis de Tocqueville and the late British journalist Alistair Cooke.
我已经没有签证申请的原文了,但我清楚地记得它提到了19世纪法国社会科学家亚历克西斯·德·托克维尔和已故英国记者阿利斯泰尔·库克。
Both Alexis and Alistair were men of letters, operating in very different eras of American upheaval.
亚历克西斯和阿利斯泰尔都是文学家,他们生活在美国剧变的不同时代。
The aim of their writing was to help readers back home understand the unique American situation.
他们写作的目的是帮助国内读者了解美国的独特情况。
They were good names to put on a visa application.
这些名字很适合在签证申请中使用。
It indicated I knew my literary lineage.
这表明我了解自己的文学血统。
But the reality is that beyond the common ground of our jobs, I wasn't really like Alexis or Alistair and moved through the world differently.
但现实是,除了我们工作的共同点之外,我并不像亚历克西斯或阿利斯泰尔,并且以不同的方式生活在这个世界上。
I was a woman.
我是一个女人。
I was a Muslim.
我是一名穆斯林。
I was a child of working class immigrants, born to parents who themselves were born in an African country still under the yoke of the English monarchy.
我是工人阶级移民的孩子,我的父母也出生在仍处于英国君主制统治下的非洲国家。
And of course, I was black.
当然,我是黑人。
I still am.
我仍然是。
Thanks to the spread of empire, I'm no stranger to the project of colonization.
由于帝国的扩张,我对殖民计划并不陌生。
Of all the things I would be reporting on and experiencing firsthand in America, the subject of blackness was the thing with which I had the most literal, most lived experience.
在我在美国报道和亲身经历的所有事情中,黑人的主题是我有最真实、最生动的体验的事情。
British police have historically not used guns like their American counterparts.
英国警察历来没有像美国警察那样使用枪支。
But the history of disproportionate black deaths during and after interactions with police in the UK tells a familiar story.
但英国黑人在与警察互动期间和之后死亡比例过高的历史讲述了一个熟悉的故事。
The lyrics are different, but the melody is old and known to me.
歌词不同,但旋律对我来说是古老且熟悉的。
That's the horrible thing about this moment.
这就是这一刻的可怕之处。
I've been here before.
我以前来过这里。
And so when George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis on Memorial Day in the last week of May, I had a feeling of resigned deja vu.
因此,当五月最后一周的阵亡将士纪念日乔治·弗洛伊德在明尼阿波利斯被杀时,我有一种似曾相识的感觉。
Police had arrested a man, and then, less than a half hour later, that man was dead.
警察逮捕了一名男子,不到半小时后,该男子就死了。
The manner of it-- a cop's knee pressing down on his neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds-- felt like a stage play we'd all seen before.
它的方式——一名警察的膝盖压在他的脖子上长达八分四十六秒——感觉就像我们以前看过的舞台剧。
The fact that it had been recorded felt proper, like a sort of sacred practice.
它被记录下来的事实感觉很恰当,就像一种神圣的实践。
The mundane location of it was familiar, too-- a regular street suddenly transformed into an arena for public death.
它的平凡地点也很熟悉——一条普通的街道突然变成了公众死亡的竞技场。
The echo of some of Floyd's dying words eerily the same as Eric Garner's in 2014-- I can't breathe.
弗洛伊德临终前的一些话与 2014 年埃里克·加纳 (Eric Garner) 的遗言出奇地相似——我无法呼吸。
Even that felt like an on-the-nose rerun of a series called, How to Die in America.
即便如此,这感觉就像是《如何死在美国》系列剧的重播。
Almost every element of what happened next hit the exact beat it was supposed to.
接下来发生的事情几乎每一个元素都恰到好处地达到了预期的节奏。
The video of his life being snuffed out went viral.
他的生命被扼杀的视频在网上疯传。
Tabloid newspapers brought up his criminal past.
小报报道了他的犯罪经历。
Protests began the day after he was killed.
他被杀后的第二天,抗议活动就开始了。
Against police brutality, yes, but also against the organizing principle of colonialism in general, and explicitly against the ideology of white supremacy itself.
是的,反对警察的暴行,但也反对一般殖民主义的组织原则,并明确反对白人至上的意识形态本身。
And it wasn't just black people yelling.
不仅仅是黑人在喊叫。
Things shifted.
事情发生了变化。
Something was different.
有些东西不一样了。
By the end of the week, there were protests across the country-- all 50 states.
到本周末,全国 50 个州都爆发了抗议活动。
And a week after that, there had been protests in other countries, too.
一周后,其他国家也出现了抗议活动。
Last weekend, I watched protesters in the west of England topple the statue of Edward Colston, a Bristol man who made his fortune by trading in thousands of enslaved Africans.
上周末,我看到英格兰西部的抗议者推倒了爱德华·科尔斯顿的雕像,爱德华·科尔斯顿是布里斯托尔人,通过买卖数千名被奴役的非洲人发家致富。
After kneeling on the supine statue's neck, protesters rolled it down the street, before tipping it into the Bristol Harbour.
抗议者跪在仰卧雕像的脖子上后,将其滚到街上,然后将其扔进布里斯托尔港。
My London friends sent me videos and photos of protests they had attended, while doing their best to maintain social distancing.
我的伦敦朋友向我发送了他们参加抗议活动的视频和照片,同时尽力保持社交距离。
As someone on Twitter put it, I can't believe corona blew a 28-3 lead to racism.
正如 Twitter 上某人所说,我不敢相信科罗娜以 28-3 的领先优势毁掉了种族主义。
The day after George Floyd was killed, I quit Twitter because of my propensity for doom scrolling.
乔治·弗洛伊德被杀的第二天,我退出了 Twitter,因为我倾向于滚动末日。
I knew my right thumb would be in constant, endless motion, eating up breaking news that would later crystallize into insomnia and migraines.
我知道我的右手拇指会不停地、无休止地运动,吞噬突发新闻,这些新闻后来会导致失眠和偏头痛。
But even on Instagram, it was a wall of George Floyd content.
但即使在 Instagram 上,这也是乔治·弗洛伊德内容的墙。
Suddenly, I was overwhelmed with graphics and photos and links to bail funds and that uniquely American habit-- crowdfunding.
突然,我被图形、照片、保释基金链接和美国独有的习惯——众筹淹没了。
On pastel-colored digital easels, people wrote anti-racist quotes from Angela Davis and Ijeoma Oluo.
人们在色彩柔和的数字画架上写下了安吉拉·戴维斯和伊杰玛·奥罗的反种族主义名言。
Artists created tributes to people like 26-year-old Breonna Taylor, who was killed in her own home in Louisville, Kentucky back in March, and Tony McDade, a trans man killed in Tallahassee.
艺术家们向 26 岁的布雷娜·泰勒 (Breonna Taylor) 和托尼·麦克达德 (Tony McDade) 等人致敬,前者于 3 月份在肯塔基州路易斯维尔的自己家中被杀,后者是在塔拉哈西被杀的跨性别者。
There were guides on everything, from how to dress and prepare for a protest in the age of coronavirus to the specifics of raising truly anti-racist children.
一切都有指南,从如何在冠状病毒时代着装和准备抗议,到抚养真正反种族主义儿童的具体细节。
My favorite-- or least favorite-- genre of these is the one that teaches non-black people how to be people in this moment.
我最喜欢(或者最不喜欢)的类型是教导非黑人如何在此时此刻做人的类型。
Posts with headings like, "Here's what to say to your black friends," or, "Check in on your black friends," were seemingly everywhere.
标题为“这是要对你的黑人朋友说的话”或“检查你的黑人朋友”的帖子似乎无处不在。
After that first weekend of protests, I got a text in one of my group chats from a black friend.
在抗议的第一个周末之后,我在群聊中收到了一位黑人朋友发来的短信。
"Have either of you gotten texts from white people this weekend," she wrote.
“这个周末你们有收到白人发来的短信吗?”她写道。
"Yes," we both replied.
“是的,”我们都回答道。
We all shared a dark laugh.
我们都暗暗笑了。
Black people have been dying in America and elsewhere for so long.
长期以来,美国和其他地方的黑人一直在死亡。
What's so different about now?
现在有什么不同?
That first weekend, I kept asking myself this.
第一个周末,我一直问自己这个问题。
What's making white people care now?
现在是什么让白人关心?
I keep looking to see what I've missed.
我一直在寻找我错过的东西。
What was the thing that's making brands draw these lines now?
是什么让品牌现在划定了界限?
What makes babynames.com dedicate its landing page to listing black victims of police violence, along with the note, "Each one of these names was somebody's baby.
是什么让babynames.com 将其登陆页面专门列出了警察暴力的黑人受害者,并附有注释:“这些名字中的每一个都是某人的孩子。
Babynames.com stands in solidarity with the black community."
Babynames.com 与黑人社区团结一致。”
What is compelling people, a lot of them white, to stand up for the first time and proclaim that it's time to do something?
是什么促使人们(其中很多是白人)第一次站起来并宣布是时候做点什么了?
How is it that I have read more proposals for defunding and abolishing the police in the last two weeks than over the course of the last two years?
为什么我在过去两周内读到的关于撤资和废除警察的提案比过去两年还多?
What's making people in small towns across America, from Lewistown, Montana to Bad Axe, Michigan, get up and protest now?
是什么让美国各地小镇的人们,从蒙大拿州刘易斯敦到密歇根州巴德阿克斯,现在站起来抗议?
If Sandra Bland didn't do it, if Eric Garner didn't do it, if Atatiana Jefferson didn't do it, if Aiyana Stanley-Jones didn't do it, how is the death of George Floyd the thing that moves the needle?
如果桑德拉·布兰德没有这样做,如果埃里克·加纳没有这样做,如果阿蒂亚娜·杰斐逊没有这样做,如果艾亚娜·斯坦利·琼斯没有这样做,那么乔治·弗洛伊德的死怎么会成为推动这一事件的因素呢?
I can't think of an easy answer.
我想不出一个简单的答案。
It's not because he was seven years old, like Aiyana Stanley-Jones was.
这并不是因为他像艾亚娜·斯坦利-琼斯那样只有七岁。
It's not because he was a 12-year-old boy, like Tamir Rice was.
这并不是因为他像塔米尔·赖斯那样是一个 12 岁的男孩。
It's not because he was an award-winning EMT who tweeted that 2020 would be her year, like Breonna Taylor was.
这并不是因为他是一位屡获殊荣的急救医生,她在推特上表示 2020 年将是她的一年,就像布伦娜·泰勒 (Breonna Taylor) 那样。
So the next likely answer is that it's as simple as the effect of accumulation.
因此,下一个可能的答案是,它就像积累的效应一样简单。
Finally, there are enough dirty clothes in the hamper to justify putting on a load of laundry.
最后,篮子里有足够多的脏衣服,足以存放大量衣物。
Maybe the increased visibility of the stark differences between the haves and have-nots over the last few years has produced a populace ready to be pushed into the hitherto radical lane of thought that suggests, actually, black lives do matter.
也许在过去几年里,富人和穷人之间的明显差异日益明显,已经让民众准备好被推入迄今激进的思想轨道,表明黑人的生命确实很重要。
Maybe the activists finally broke through.
也许激进分子终于突破了。
Who can say?
谁能说一下?
A part of me wants white people at large to feel deeply ashamed.
我内心的一部分希望广大白人感到深深的羞耻。
This is entry level.
这是入门级。
Stop killing us.
别再杀我们了。
This is basic.
这是基本的。
If the killing of George Floyd could unleash this tidal wave of demonstration, what was stopping you before?
如果乔治·弗洛伊德之死能够引发这波示威浪潮,那么之前是什么阻止了你呢?
He's as meaningful as any other victim of police violence, named or unnamed here today.
他和今天在这里的任何其他警察暴力受害者一样有意义,无论是有名的还是无名的。
You could have harnessed all this energy 15, 20, 200, 500, 1,000 deaths ago.
在 15、20、200、500、1,000 人死亡之前,你就可以利用所有这些能量。
But that didn't happen.
但那并没有发生。
And so when I ask the question, why now, the truth is that I don't really care.
所以当我问为什么现在这个问题时,事实是我真的不在乎。
All these white people newly attuned to this frequency the rest of us know so well.
所有这些白人新近适应了我们其他人都非常熟悉的这个频率。
I told a friend that I wanted everyone to do their belated learning far away from me.
我告诉一个朋友,我希望每个人都能在远离我的地方进行迟来的学习。

我不想看到有人如何携带它。
I don't want to teach anyone.
我不想教任何人。
I have no office hours.
我没有办公时间。
I don't want to know what triggered your come to Jesus moment.
我不想知道是什么触发了你来到耶稣面前的那一刻。
I have no interest in seeing how the sausage gets made.
我没有兴趣看看香肠是如何制作的。
I just want to rock up to the table and enjoy my breakfast.
我只想摇摇晃晃地走到餐桌旁享受我的早餐。
I know what's different for me.
我知道对我来说有什么不同。
I'm angrier now.
我现在更生气了。
I think of what parents say about how their hearts grow bigger after a second child, instead of having to share the love they already feel.
我想起父母们所说的,在生了第二个孩子后,他们的心变得更大,而不是必须分享他们已经感受到的爱。
That's me.
这就是我。
But instead of love, it's rage.
但不是爱,而是愤怒。
I find that this time, I am furious.
我发现,这一次,我愤怒了。
That's what's different.
这就是不同之处。

So one night, recently, one of our producers, Diane Wu, stopped by Mr. Mango, which is a corner grocery in New York City.
最近的一个晚上,我们的制作人之一黛安·吴 (Diane Wu) 拜访了纽约市街角的一家杂货店 Mr. Mango。
It's two or three blocks from the Barclays Center, where lots of the big New York City protests have happened.
它距离巴克莱中心两三个街区,纽约市许多大型抗议活动都在那里发生。
And it's just down the street from Brooklyn Hospital, which has been hard hit treating coronavirus patients in these last few months-- New York, of course, the epicenter of coronavirus cases in this country.
它就在布鲁克林医院的街道上,该医院在过去几个月里治疗冠状病毒患者的工作受到了严重打击——当然,纽约是这个国家冠状病毒病例的中心。
Mr. Mango is a 24-hour grocery store that has stayed open through the city's shutdown, through the curfew.
Mr. Mango 是一家 24 小时杂货店,在城市关闭和宵禁期间一直营业。
It is an intersection that all kinds of people pass through.

And that particular night that Diane was there, protesters were singing "Happy Birthday" to Breonna Taylor at a little plaza across the street.

A woman in scrubs at the store was FaceTiming somebody about onions.

Cop cars pulled up.
警车停了下来。
And standing there, watching all of this, during this intense moment we're all living through, where race and justice and survival are at the forefront of everything, Diane wondered what were all these different people thinking in this quiet little grocery store.
站在那里,看着这一切,在我们都经历的这个紧张时刻,种族、正义和生存是一切的最前沿,黛安想知道这些不同的人在这个安静的小杂货店里在想什么。
So she went back the next night-- it was this past Saturday night, June 6-- with a microphone and with our co-worker, Lina Misitzis.
于是她第二天晚上——也就是上周六晚上,即 6 月 6 日——带着麦克风和我们的同事 Lina Misitzis 一起回去了。
They stayed all night, until 5:00 in the morning, talked to dozens of people.
他们待了一夜,直到凌晨5:00,与数十人交谈。
And they put this next story together.
他们将下一个故事放在一起。
Usually, I just want to say, we do not point out the race of the people that we talk to on the radio, unless there's some particular reason.
通常,我只想说,除非有特殊原因,否则我们不会指出我们在广播中交谈的人的种族。
But race is the context for so many interactions, including the ones at the store, that in this story, we're going to identify the race or nationality of everybody who you're going to hear.
但种族是许多互动的背景,包括商店里的互动,因此在这个故事中,我们将识别您将要听到的每个人的种族或国籍。
OK, here's Diane.
好的,这是黛安。
We got to Mr. Mango just before the city's 8:00 PM curfew.
我们在该市晚上 8:00 宵禁之前到达 Mango 先生。
Inside, it was crowded and serious.

Another protester came in soon after Josh and Katie.

She was asking him questions, which he seemed to be answering.

This was a kind of conversation I hadn't heard yet, and so I walked over.
这是一种我还没有听过的对话,所以我走了过去。
Lieutenant Maurice Walston was wearing an upper rank officer's white shirt.
莫里斯·沃尔斯顿中尉穿着高级军官的白衬衫。
Brianna was holding a green juice.
布丽安娜手里拿着一杯绿色果汁。
She was on her way home from drinks with her friend after protesting all day.
经过一整天的抗议后,她正在和朋友喝酒后回家的路上。
And I appreciate you just talking to me.
我很感激你刚才跟我说话。
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and that's-- I mean, absolutely.
是的,是的,是的,我的意思是,绝对如此。
Officer Walston, I really appreciate this conversation just in general.
沃尔斯顿警官,总的来说,我真的很欣赏这次谈话。
Yep, no problem.
是的,没问题。
And I appreciate it as well.
我也很感激。
And again, it should be everyone's right that no one should be able to-- no one should fear police interactions like this.
再说一遍,每个人都有权利,但没有人能够这样做——没有人应该害怕这样的警察互动。
We should all--
我们都应该——
I don't.
我不知道。
Maurice Walston No, I know that.
莫里斯·沃尔斯顿:不,我知道。
But I'm sure--
但我确信——
But that's my privilege, right?
但这是我的特权,对吗?
I don't have to.
我不需要。
Lieutenant Walston doesn't want to talk about her privilege.
沃尔斯顿中尉不想谈论她的特权。
Well, I can tell you this.
好吧,我可以告诉你这一点。
When I deal with even people of my race, I give them the same respect that I give to you.
当我与我的种族的人打交道时,我会像对待你一样尊重他们。
And that's just across the board.
这只是全面的。
I'm sure you do.
我相信你会的。
That's not the question, right?
这不是问题,对吧?
You're an officer of color.
你是一名有色人种军官。
But that's your question.
但这是你的问题。
You have a different question, right.
你有一个不同的问题,对吧。
That is my question, yes, but I've been-- this is not my first conversation with a police officer tonight.
是的,这是我的问题,但这不是我今晚第一次与警察交谈。
No, I understand.
不,我明白。
No, I get it.
不,我明白了。
I understand.
我明白。
It's a really awkward conversation to watch.
这是一场看起来非常尴尬的对话。
She keeps making big statements about policing, ending with, "Right?"
她不断发表有关警务的重要声明,最后以“对吗?”结束。
It's not an isolated event here or there, right?
这不是这里或那里的孤立事件,对吧?
It's a systemic problem.
这是一个系统性问题。
I have this general sense that people who go to be police officers generally have a power issue.
我有这样的普遍感觉:当警察的人通常都会面临权力问题。
Right?
正确的?
Either it's a power issue, or they want to help people.
要么是权力问题,要么他们想帮助别人。
And in my mind, it's one or the other.
在我看来,这是其中之一。
I think generally, most people become police officers to help people.
我认为一般来说,大多数人成为警察是为了帮助别人。
And of course, it's hard to get Lieutenant Walston to agree with what seems to be her central premise, that there's something fundamentally wrong with his job.
当然,很难让沃尔斯顿中尉同意她的核心前提,即他的工作存在根本性的问题。
But ultimately, when police are called in on peacekeeping missions, violence ensues, right?
但最终,当警察被派去执行维和任务时,暴力就会随之而来,对吗?
See, there are times when we get called, and violence has already occurred or violence is there.
看,有时当我们接到电话时,暴力已经发生或暴力已经存在。
And that's the majority of the times why we're getting called to these emergency situations.
这就是大多数时候我们被叫去处理这些紧急情况的原因。
Lieutenant Walston told me later that people who don't have as many interactions with the police often fill the vacuum with the worst images they see in the news, not anything based on their own experiences.
沃尔斯顿中尉后来告诉我,那些与警方没有那么多互动的人经常用他们在新闻中看到的最糟糕的图片来填补真空,而不是任何基于自己经历的东西。
His strategy during this conversation, he told me, was first to mostly just listen.
他告诉我,他在这次谈话中的策略是首先只是倾听。
But when she told him she knew what it was like to be in the minority because she'd lived as a white person in Oakland, he realized the depth of her misconceptions.
但当她告诉他,因为她作为白人生活在奥克兰,所以她知道成为少数派是什么感觉时,他意识到她的误解有多深。
But since she seemed so adamant, he wasn't out to change them.
但既然她看起来如此坚定,他也不想改变他们。
When we talked to Brianna later, she said she wasn't expecting to change anything about his beliefs.
当我们后来与布丽安娜交谈时,她说她不希望改变他的信仰。
It just felt important to say what she thought.
只是觉得说出她的想法很重要。
Toward the end of their 20-minute conversation, there is a moment where she asks for his advice.
在他们 20 分钟的谈话即将结束时,有一刻她向他征求建议。
She asks, do you have kids?
她问,你有孩子吗?
Yeah, I do.
是的,我愿意。
I have twins.
我有双胞胎。
Brianna I have a four-year-old son.
布莱恩娜 我有一个四岁的儿子。
He's biracial.
他是混血儿。
And I'm trying to figure out how to tell him he presents as white.
我正在想办法告诉他他是白人。
He looks white.
他看起来很白。
But he's not white, right?
但他不是白人,对吧?
So how do you talk to a biracial kid about racism?
那么你如何与混血儿谈论种族主义呢?
Right, no, I understand.
是的,不,我明白。
Brianna How do you talk to your black kids about police brutality?
布莱恩娜 你如何与你的黑人孩子谈论警察的暴行?
They're also biracial, so I'm honest with them.
他们也是混血儿,所以我对他们很诚实。
That's the only way you can be.
这是你唯一能做的事。
Be honest, and--
说实话,而且——
Well, honestly looks like me, in part.
嗯,老实说,有一部分看起来像我。
Tell them that there are officers like me out there, you know?
告诉他们外面有像我这样的军官,你知道吗?
Do you also have to tell them there's officers that's not like you?
您是否还必须告诉他们有些官员与您不同?
Yes, I would be truthful.
是的,我会说实话。
Brianna You have to have that conversation with your kids.
布莱恩娜 你必须和你的孩子们进行这样的对话。
You have to have that conversation with your kids, she tells him.
她告诉他,你必须与你的孩子进行这样的对话。
It's funny to imagine how different those two conversations would be.
想象一下这两次谈话会有多么不同是很有趣的。
After she left, I asked Lieutenant Walston what you've made of all of that.
她离开后,我问沃尔斯顿中尉你对这一切有何看法。
Have you been having more conversations like the one you just had?
您是否已经进行了更多像刚才那样的对话?
Sorry, to be more specific, have more white people wanted to talk to you about that kind of thing than usual?
抱歉,更具体地说,有比平常更多的白人想和你谈论这类事情吗?
Yeah.
是的。
Yeah, and I get that.
是的,我明白了。
Let me just say this.
我就这么说吧。
I'm actually, I'm happy that you have all nationalities that are coming together to come and go.
事实上,我很高兴你们来自不同国家的人聚集在一起。
And I'm happy about that.
我对此很高兴。
The only thing is that when you do get a white person, which is fine, but the one thing I just don't allow is for you to claim that you know my plight more than I do.
唯一的事情是,当你确实找到一个白人时,这很好,但我不允许的一件事是你声称你比我更了解我的困境。
Is it accurate to say that that was like a white lady explaining to you why black lives matter?
可以说这就像一位白人女士向你解释为什么黑人的生命很重要吗?
Yeah.
是的。
Yeah, basically.
是的,基本上。
In a sense, yeah.
从某种意义上说,是的。
It's someone not of my race telling me why my life matters.
是一个非我种族的人告诉我为什么我的生活很重要。
And I know why my life matters.
我知道为什么我的生活很重要。
I know what I went through.
我知道我经历了什么。

But many of them know a lot about it, like Alexander.
但他们中的许多人对此了解很多,比如亚历山大。
OK, is it that big fancy building on the corner?
好吧,是街角那座华丽的大建筑吗?
Yeah.
是的。
Exactly.
确切地。
Diane Wu What's that job like right now?
Diane Wu 现在的工作怎么样?
Has it been hectic at all because of the protests?
因为抗议活动而变得忙碌吗?
Not really, but people-- it's just that you get surprised to see who has their position politically on the protest from working in a residential building.
不是真的,而是人们——只是你会惊讶地发现谁在住宅楼工作抗议中持有自己的政治立场。
Some people come out to jump with the protesters.
有些人出来和抗议者一起跳。
Some people come out and go get the protesters.
有些人出来抓捕抗议者。
So you get to see-- you know.
所以你会看到——你知道的。
Huh.
呵呵。
Do people kind of match up with what you would guess?
人们的猜测与您的猜测相符吗?
Yeah, this is surprising how being cynical is usually being right.
是的,令人惊讶的是,愤世嫉俗通常是正确的。
[LAUGHS]
[笑]
The older residents are always surprising on their views.
老居民的观点总是令人惊讶。
Because at a certain age, you start to be like OK, I don't expect much from you.

There's some older woke people in your building.
你们大楼里有一些年长的醒着的人。
Yeah, when they're awake, they ain't know what's going on.

It's surprising, you know?

That feels nice.
感觉很好。
Wait, what kinds of things are people saying who are against the protest?
等等,反对抗议的人都在说什么?
It's more of like, the subtle hints would be, oh, when is it going to be enough of these people protesting?
更像是,微妙的暗示是,哦,这些人的抗议什么时候才够呢?
That or it's too late for that.
那样或者已经太晚了。
Or now, is this usually the time?
或者现在,通常是这个时间吗?
Or why didn't y'all do that the last time, you know?
或者为什么你们上次不这样做,你知道吗?
It's subtle when people try to diminish or water down the situation.
当人们试图淡化或淡化这种情况时,这是很微妙的。
But it is what it is.
但事实就是如此。
Ain't nothing us as a people aren't used to, so.
所以,作为一个民族,没有什么是我们不习惯的。
What do you mean?
你是什么意思?
Alexander Like, being a black individual, you're used to people always dismissing your cause.
亚历山大:作为一个黑人,你已经习惯了人们总是对你的事业不屑一顾。
Like, if we talk about slavery, they bring up the Holocaust.
就像,如果我们谈论奴隶制,他们就会提到大屠杀。
If we talk about anything that's about being black, other people bring in their struggles, too.
如果我们谈论任何与黑人有关的事情,其他人也会带来他们的挣扎。
So it is what it is.
所以事情就是这样。
So even with the protests now, nothing wrong with I see Caucasian friends helping us out and being a part of the situation.
因此,即使现在有抗议活动,我看到白人朋友帮助我们摆脱困境并参与其中也没有什么问题。
But it's getting watered down because everybody sees the white faces.
但它正在被淡化,因为每个人都看到白人的面孔。
They're not seeing any black face as a part of it.
他们没有看到任何黑脸是其中的一部分。
So whose lives matter?
那么谁的生命重要呢?
Mm, I don't know.
嗯,我不知道。
[LAUGHS]
[笑]

不,我没有紧张。
I'm not a nervous individual.

Yeah, because this is all-- this is all riots, and never know whether you're going to be attacked or not or feeling unsafe.
是的,因为这就是全部——这都是骚乱,永远不知道你是否会受到攻击或感到不安全。
It's part of being a black male, period.
这是作为黑人男性的一部分。
So it's a little bit of insight for everybody else to feel like how we feel, you know?
因此,让其他人感受到我们的感受是一种洞察力,你知道吗?
Alexander works the night shift from 6:00 PM to 2:00 AM, which has made getting home hard during this week of curfew.
亚历山大的夜班工作时间为下午 6:00 至凌晨 2:00,这使得在本周的宵禁期间回家变得困难。

Cabs aren't an option.

There are also police there, about 10 of them by my count, including the commanding officer of the 76th precinct, which covers Red Hook, Deputy Inspector Megan O'Malley.
那里也有警察,据我统计大约有 10 名警察,其中包括负责雷德胡克地区的第 76 分局的指挥官、副督察梅根·奥马利 (Megan O'Malley)。
She's talking to Naseem, Na's advance man, telling him certain streets are closed, including the block the 76th precinct is on.
她正在与 Na 的先遣人员 Naseem 交谈,告诉他某些街道已关闭,包括第 76 分局所在的街区。
Did she say that was because of construction, or did she say--
她是说那是因为施工,还是她说——
Construction.
施工。
Dana Chivvis She said it was because of construction.
Dana Chivvis 她说这是因为施工。
She said it's construction, and they've been making mocktails.

Na's planned the whole thing out.
娜已经计划好了整件事。
He has the bikers in the crowd to move to the front of the march.
他让人群中的骑自行车的人走到游行队伍的前面。
Next come six people carrying a banner that reads, "Defund the Police," and a more and more common tactic-- the white marchers are put at the front of the protest and on the sides, the thought being that police will be less likely to harm them.
接下来是六人举着横幅,上面写着“撤资警察”,这是一种越来越常见的策略——白人游行者被安排在抗议活动的前面和两侧,目的是让警察不太可能伤害他们。
Na stands in front of the group with his fists in the air.
娜站在众人面前,高举拳头。
The crowd gets silent, puts their fists in the air, too.
人群安静下来,也举起了拳头。
And then--
然后——

Out in front of the marchers are eight or nine cops and more cops flanking the crowd.
游行者前面有八九名警察,人群两侧有更多警察。
The protesters do the usual cheers-- no justice, no peace.
抗议者一如既往地欢呼——没有正义,就没有和平。
How do you spell racist?

Protesters NYPD.
纽约警察局的抗议者。
How do you spell racist?

Dana Chivvis As well as a few hyper local chants.

When I say 76, y'all say, suck my dick.

The cops are there to keep the community and the marchers safe, Deputy Inspector O'Malley told me.
副督察奥马利告诉我,警察的职责是保护社区和游行者的安全。
But the marchers were there to protest the cops for making them feel unsafe.
但游行者在那里抗议警察让他们感到不安全。

我预计大概是200。
This is, like, 500.

Yeah, I got to make sure it stays in shape.
是的,我必须确保它保持形状。
The planned route, I find out, is to march over a little bridge, a highway overpass, and get as close as they can to the 76th precinct station, then turn and head back into Red Hook.
我发现,计划的路线是穿过一座小桥、一座高速公路立交桥,尽可能靠近第 76 分局车站,然后掉头返回雷德胡克。
But as the protest gets near, Na changes the plan.
但随着抗议活动的临近,罗改变了计划。
He tells Naseem, who's been walking out in front of the marchers, communicating with the police, that he doesn't want to turn around and end the march.
他告诉纳西姆,他一直走在游行者前面,与警察沟通,他不想转身结束游行。
It's going too well.

We could go to the bridge and then we could walk downtown.

OK.

Dana Chivvis Downtown is downtown Brooklyn, near the Barclays Center, which has been the location for a lot of protests these last few weeks.
达纳奇夫维斯市中心位于布鲁克林市中心,靠近巴克莱中心,过去几周这里一直是许多抗议活动的地点。
They get onto the overpass and cross it and find a police barricade at the end, a line of those metal fences blocking off the intersection.
他们上了立交桥并穿过它,发现尽头有一个警察路障,一排金属栅栏挡住了十字路口。
They have to stop.
他们必须停下来。
Hundreds of people pile onto this bridge above the expressway.
数百人涌上高速公路上方的这座桥。
And this is where Naseem tells Deputy Inspector O'Malley that Na wants to change the plan.

我们很多人都看到了这段视频,我们认为其中的作者金伯利·琼斯(Kimberly Jones)做得非常好,以任何人都可以理解的方式提供了背景并快速列出了历史。

Now if I right now decided that I wanted to play Monopoly with you and for 400 rounds of playing Monopoly, I didn't allow you to have any money, I didn't allow you to have anything on the board, I didn't allow for you to have anything.
现在,如果我现在决定和你一起玩大富翁,并且玩了 400 轮大富翁,我不允许你有任何钱,我不允许你在棋盘上有任何东西,我不允许你有任何东西。
And then we played another 50 rounds of Monopoly and everything that you gained and you earned while you were playing that round of Monopoly was taken from you-- that was Tulsa.
然后我们又玩了 50 轮大富翁,你在玩那轮大富翁时获得的一切都被拿走了——那就是塔尔萨。
That was Rosewood.

Those are places where we built black economic wealth, where we were self-sufficient, where we owned our stores, where we owned our property, and they burned them to the ground.
这些是我们建立黑人经济财富的地方,我们自给自足,我们拥有我们的商店,我们拥有我们的财产,但他们把它们烧毁了。
So that's 450 years.

So for 400 rounds of Monopoly, you don't get to play at all.

How can you win?

The game is fixed.

There's a social contract that we all have.

You broke the contract when you killed us in the streets and didn't give a fuck!

You broke the contract, and for 400 years, we played your game and built your wealth.

You broke the contract when we built our wealth again on our own by our bootstraps in Tulsa, and you dropped bombs on us.

You broke the contract, so fuck your Target.
你违反了合同,去你的目标吧。
Fuck your Hall of Fame.
操你的名人堂。
Far as I'm concerned, they could burn this bitch to the ground.
就我而言,他们可以把这个婊子烧成灰烬。
And it still wouldn't be enough.
但这还不够。
And they are lucky that what black people are looking for is equality and not revenge.
他们很幸运,黑人追求的是平等而不是复仇。
