布朗诉弗格森案——21世纪美国反种族主义运动史
Submitted by sjzc on Apr 11 2021 06:23
在过去几个月内，美国国内爆发了激烈的反种族主义运动，黑人乔治·佛洛依德之死与警察的不公执法点燃了人们的怒火，进而导致了声势浩大的抗议。事实上，自21世纪以来，美国社会曾经历过多起严重的种族主义事件，2012年17岁的黑人青年特雷沃恩·马丁（Trayvon Martin）之死、2014年黑人青年迈克·布朗（Michael Brown）遇害同样引发过强烈的社会不满。而长期以来被视作高犯罪率群体、在劳动力市场上受到歧视、居住在孤立地区的黑人对于社会以及司法、政治以及经济制度怀着强烈的不满。在人们惊讶于本次“黑命攸关”运动的巨大能量的同时，他们或许也应该意识到黑人群体所经历过的伤痛和歧视。

Just as this piece was ready to go online, yet another blatant police shooting of a black US citizen in full sight has triggered angry protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Jacob Blake has been left paralysed from the waist down. Added to the re-run of nightime curfews, tooled-up police and National Guard lining up against protesters came a follower of "Blue Lives Matter": 17 year old Kyle Rittenhouse, with loaded rifle, promptly shot three people, killing two of them.
