关于最近在美国发生的种族歧视弗洛伊德致死事件,脱口秀主持人Trevor Noah(特雷弗诺阿,中国观众更习惯称作崔娃)在他的每日秀中,发表了自己的评论。


崔娃从纽约中央公园白人女子假报警,到明尼苏达黑人男子被跪压致死事件,他引用马尔科姆·格拉德威尔的社会合法性三原则,探讨社会的组成是一种契约,执法者和公民需要在公平公正地前提下遵守契约。而当执法者首先破坏契约时,就没有立场去指责他人不守规则。种族歧视,就是执法的一方首先破坏规则。18分钟,非常值得细看。






In an emotional video message, “The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah addressed the systemic racism in the U.S. and the explosion of protests in response to the death of George Floyd.

“Daily Show” is in reruns this week. On Monday, Noah released an 18-minute video discussing the domino effect that the news cycle has had on shining visibility on the deaths and altercations between police and unarmed African Americans.

“I saw so many people online saying, ‘These riots are disgusting, this is not how a society should be run, you do not loot and you do not burn, this is not how our society is built,'” Noah said. “But what is society? When you boil it down, society is a contract we sign as human beings amongst each other. ‘Amongst this group of us, we agree in common rules, common ideals, and common practices that are going to define us as a group.'”

Noah started by highlighting Christian Cooper, a black man in Central Park who asked Amy Cooper, a white woman, to leash her dog, resulting in an altercation in which Cooper threatened to call the police on him to say that an African American man was threatening her life. He then discussed the shooting of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia as another domino that shone a light on the racism present in our country. And then, he said, the video of Floyd’s death on May 25 from asphyxiation — after a Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes — was the final spark that incited protests held across the country and around the world.

“The video of George Floyd comes out, and I don’t know what made the video more painful for people to watch, the fact that that man was having his life taken in front of our eyes, the fact that we were watching someone being murdered by someone who’s job is to protect and serve, or the fact that he seemed so calm doing it,” said Noah.

“One ray of sunshine for me was seeing how many people instantly condemned [the Floyd video],” he said. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that. Especially not in America. I haven’t seen a police video come out and just see across the board. I mean, even Fox News commentators and police chiefs from around the country immediately condemning what they saw. No questions, not, ‘What was he doing?’ Just going, ‘No, what happened here was wrong.'”

He then began speaking about the subsequent riots, saying that some people are condemning the looting and fires. He pointed to the reality of our society as being the culprit and epitome of the frustration. The real looting is the police “looting black bodies,” he said.

“We need people at the top to be the most accountable because they are the ones who are basically setting the tone and the tenure for everything we do in society,” said Noah. “The reason that [we lead by example] is because we understand that in society, that if we lead by example, there is a good chance that people will follow that example that you have set. And so if the example law enforcement is setting is that they do not adhere to the laws, then why should the citizens of that society adhere to the laws when in fact the law enforcers the law enforcers themselves don’t.”

种族歧视事件引发美国暴乱

- Hey, what's going on everybody? You know what's really interesting about what's happening in America right now is that a lot of people don't seem to realize how dominoes connect, how one piece knocks another piece that knocks another piece and in the end creates a giant wave. 


Each story seems completely unrelated and yet at the same time, I feel like everything that happens in the world connects to something else in some way, shape, or form. And I think this news cycle that we witnessed in the last week was a perfect example of that. Amy Cooper, George Floyd, and the people of Minneapolis. 

Amy Cooper was, for many people I think, the catalyst, and by the way I should mention that all of this is like against the backdrop of coronavirus, you know? People stuck in their houses for one of the longest periods we can remember, people losing more jobs than anyone can ever remember. People struggling to make do more than they can ever remember, and I think all of that compounded by the fact that there seems to be no genuine plan from leadership. 

Like, no one knows what's gonna happen. You know, no one knows how long they're supposed to be good, how long they're supposed to stay inside, how long they supposed to flatten the curve. No one knows any of these things. And so what happens is you have a group of people who are stuck inside, all of us, our society, we're stuck inside. 

And we then start to consume, we see what's happening in the world and I think Amy Cooper was one of the first moments that, you know, one of the first dominoes that we saw get knocked down post-corona for many people. And that was a world where you quickly realized that, while everyone is facing the battle against coronavirus, black people in America are still facing the battle against racism and coronavirus. 

the reason I say it's a domino is because, think about how many black Americans just have read and seen the news of how black people are disproportionately affected by coronavirus, and not because of something inherently inside black people, but rather because of the lives black people have lived in America for so long. You know, coronavirus exposed all of it. 

And now here you have this woman who, we've all seen the video now. Blatantly, blatantly knew how to use the power of, of her whiteness to threaten the life of another man and his blackness. What we saw with her was a really, really powerful, explicit example of an understanding of racism in a structural way. 

When she looked, when she looked at that man, when she looked at Cooper and she said to him, "I'm gonna call 911 and I'm gonna tell them "there's an African-American man threatening my life." She knew how powerful that was. And that in itself is telling, you know? It tells you how she perceives the police. 

It tells you how she perceives her perception or her relationship with the police as a white woman. It shows you how she perceives a black man's relationship with the police and the police's relationship with him. It's, it was, it was really, it was, it was, it was powerful. 'Cause so many people act like they don't know what, what black Americans are talking about when they say it, and yet Amy Cooper had a distinct understanding. 

She was like, "Oh, I know. "I know that you're afraid of interacting with the police, "because there is a presumption of your guilt "because of your blackness. "I know that, as a white woman, "I can weaponize this tool against you, "and I know that by the time we've sifted through "who was right or wrong, "there's a good chance that you will have lost "in some way, shape, or form." And so, for me, that was the first domino. And so now you're living in a world where so many people are watching this video. 

So many people are being triggered, because in many ways it was like a, it was like a gotcha. You know? It was like a, it was like the curtain had been pulled back, aha, so you do this. 'Cause it's always been spoken about, but this was like, it was powerful to see it being used. And I think a lot of people were triggered by that, a lot of people were like, "Damn. "We knew it was real, but this is like real, real." You know? I think a lot of people were so angry that some of the outrage that came to her was because of her dog. 

And I mean, I get it, you know? But it was, it was, a lot of people felt like, a lot of people felt like it would have been great if the dog shelters had the same, I guess, power or if police departments were run by the people who run dog shelters because they seem to act like this, they didn't waste time. 

They were like, "Nope, we'd like our dog back, lady." Which, I'm gonna be honest, I think was, that's was a, that was a, I mean, that was a hell of a punishment. Her job is one thing, taking a white lady's dog. That was a nice dog. Yeah, so that was the first domino, you know? It was the first domino where I felt like you could feel something stirring. 

And all of this, again, is in the backdrop, backdrop. It's, it's coronavirus has happened. The numbers have come out. You know, the story of Ahmad Aubery in Georgia, that story has come up, all of these things are happening. And then the video of George Floyd comes out, and I don't know what made that video more painful for people to watch, the fact that that man was having his life taken in front of our eyes, the fact that we were watching someone being murdered by someone whose job is to protect and serve, or the fact that he seemed so calm doing it, you know? 

Oftentimes we're always told that police feared for their life, it was like a threatened, and you know what? You always feel like an asshole when, when you're like, "You didn't fear for your life. "How, why did you fear for your life? "How did you fear?" But now more and more we're starting to see that it's like, no, it doesn't seem like there's a fear, it just seems like it's, you can do it so you did it. 

There was a black man on the ground in handcuffs, and you, you could take his life, so you did. Almost knowing that there would be no ramifications. And then again, everyone on the internet has to watch this, everyone sees it, it floods our timelines as people. And, and I think, one ray of sunshine for me in that moment was seeing how many people instantly condemned what they saw. You know? 

And maybe it's because I'm an optimistic person, but I don't think I've ever seen anything like that. Especially not in America, I haven't seen a police video come out and just see across the board. I mean, even Fox News commentators and, and police chiefs from around the country immediately condemning what they saw. No questions, not what was he doing, not just going, no, this, what happened here was wrong. 

It was wrong. This person got murdered on camera. And then the police were fired, great. But I, I think what people take for granted is, is, is how much, for so many people, that feels like nothing, you know? How many of us, as human beings, can take the life of another human being and then have firing be the worst thing that happens to us? 

And yes, we don't know where the case will go, don't get me wrong, but it just, it's, it feels like there is no moment of justice, there is no, you know, if you're watching a movie, you at least want the cops, you'd want to see the perpetrators in handcuffs. 

You want to see the perpetrators facing some sort of justice. Yes, they might come out on bail, et cetera, but I think there's a lot of catharsis that comes with seeing that justice being doled out. When the riots happened, that for me was an interesting culmination of everything. I saw so many people online saying, "These riots are disgusting, "this is not how a society should be run. "You do not loot and you do not burn and you do not, "this is not how our society is built." 

And that actually triggered something in me where I was like, man, okay. Society, but what is society? And fundamentally, when you boil it down, society is a contract. It's a contract that we sign as human beings amongst each other. We sign a contract with each other as people whether it's spoken or unspoken and we say, "Amongst this group of us, we agree in common rules, "common ideals and common practices "that are going to define us as a group."

That's what I think a society is, it's a contract. And, as with most contracts, the contract is only as strong as the  people who are abiding by it. But if you think of being a black person in America who is living in Minneapolis or Minnesota or any place where you're not having a good time, ask yourself this question when you watch those people: What vested interest do they have in maintaining the contract? Why, like, why don't we all loot? Why, why don't, why doesn't everybody take, why doesn't, because we've agreed on things. 

There are so many people who are starving out there, there are so many people who don't have, there's so many people. There are people who are destitute, there are people who, when the virus hit, and they don't have a second paycheck, are already broke, which is insane, but that's the reality. 

But still, think about how many people who don't have, the have-nots. Say, "You know what? "I'm still gonna play by the rules, "even though I have nothing "because I still wish for the society to work and exist." And then, some members of that society, namely black American people, watch time and time again how the contract that they have signed with society is not being honored by the society that has forced them to sign it with them. 

When you watch Ahmad Aubery being shot and you hear that those men have been released and, were it not for the video and the outrage, those people would be living their lives, what part of the contract is that in society? 

When you see George Floyd on the ground and you see a man losing his life in a way that no person should ever have to lose their life at the hands of someone who is supposed to enforce the law, what part of the contract is that? And a lot of people say, well, what good does this do? Yeah, but what good doesn't it do? 

That's the question people don't ask the other way around. What good does it do to loot Target? What does it, how does it help you to loot Target? Yeah, but how does it help you to not loot Target? 

Answer that question. Because the only reason you didn't loot Target before was because you were upholding society's contract. There is no contract if law and people in power don't uphold their end of it. And that's the thing I think people don't understand sometimes is that, is that we need people at the top to be the most accountable because they are the ones who are basically setting the tone and the tenor for everything that we do in society. 

It's the same way we tell parents to set an example for their kids, the same way we tell captains or coaches to set an example for their players, the same way you tell teachers to set an example for their students. The reason we do that is because we understand in society that if you lead by example, there is a good chance that people will follow that example that you have set. 

And so, if the example law enforcement is setting is that they do not adhere to the laws, then why should the citizens of that society adhere to the laws when, in fact, the law enforcers themselves don't? There's a really fantastic chapter in Malcolm Gladwell's book, "David and Goliath." Where he talks about the principles, what is it? It's... He talks about the principles, the principles of legitimacy. And he says, "In order for us to argue that any society "or any legal body or any power is legitimate, "we have to agree on core principles." 

And those three principles, if I remember correctly, is number one, we have to agree on what the principles are. Number two, we have to believe that the people who are enforcing the principles are going to enforce them fairly, and number three, we have to agree that everyone in that society is going to be treated fairly according to those principles. 

It is safe to say, in this one week alone, and maybe even from the beginning of coronavirus really blowing out in America, black Americans have seen their principals completely de-legitimized. Because if you're a black person in America right now and you're watching this, if you're a black American person specifically and you're watching this, what principles are you seeing? I think sometimes the thing we need to remember, and it's something I haven't remembered my whole life. 

I like, it's, you start to learn these things, you know? When you travel the world, when you read, when you learn about society I think is that like, when you are a have and when you are a have-not, you see the world in very different ways. And a lot of the time people say to the have-nots, "This is not the right way to handle things." When Colin Kaepernick kneels, they say, "This is not the right way to protest." 

When Martin Luther King had children as part of his protests in Birmingham, Alabama, people said, "Having children at your protest "is not the right way to do things." When he marched in Selma, people said, "This is not the right way to do things." When people march through the streets in South Africa during apartheid, they said, "This is not the right way to do things." When people burn things, they say it's not the, it's never the right way because there's never, there is never a right way to protest, and I've said this before, there is no right way to protest because that's what protest is. 

It cannot be right because you are protesting against a thing that is stopping you. And so I think what a lot of people don't realize is the same way you might have experienced even more anger and more just visceral disdain watching those people loot that Target, think to yourselves, or maybe it would help you if you think about that, that unease that you felt watching that Target being looted. 

Try to imagine how it must feel for black Americans when they watch themselves being looted every single day. Because that's fundamentally what's happening in America. Police in America are looting black bodies. And I know someone might think that's an extreme phrase, but it's not because here's the thing I think a lot of people don't realize, George Floyd died. 

That is part of the reason the story became so big is because he died. But how many George Floyds are there that don't die? How many men are having knees put on their necks? How many Sandra Blands are out there being tossed around? We don't, we don't, it doesn't make the news because it's not grim enough, it doesn't even get us enough anymore. It's only the deaths, the gruesome deaths that stick out, but imagine to yourself, if you grew up in a community where every day someone had their knee on your neck, where every day somebody was out there repressing you every single day. 

You tell me what that does to you as a society, as a community, as a group of people. And when you know that this is happening because of the color of your skin. Not because the people are saying it's happening because of the color of skin, but rather because it's only happening to you and you're the only people who have that skin color. 

And I know there's people who'll say, "Yeah, but like, well, how come black black people "don't care when black people kill." Man, that's one of the dumbest arguments ever. Of course they care. If you've ever been to a hood anywhere, not just in America, but anywhere in the world, you'd know how much black people care about that. If you know anything about under-policing and over-policing though, you would understand how that comes to be. 

The police show black people how valuable their lives are considered by the society, and so then those people who live in those communities know how to or not deal with those lives. Because best believe, if you kill a white person, especially in America, there is a whole lot more justice than is coming your way than if you killed some black body in a black neighborhood somewhere. 

And so to anyone who watched that video, don't ask yourself if it's right or wrong to loot, don't ask yourself, what does looting help? No, no, no. Ask yourself that question. Ask yourself why it got you that much more, watching these people loot because they were destroying the contract that you thought they had signed with your society. And now think to yourself, imagine if you were them, watching that contract being ripped up every single day. Ask yourself how you'd feel.

你知道最近在美国发生的真正值得玩味的是,很多人不知道多米诺骨牌是怎么一块块连接起来的,一块多米诺如何推到下一块,再推到下一块,再下一块,直到最后掀起巨大波澜。每一件事情看起来毫无关联,然而同时,我感觉这个世界上发生的一切都和其他一些事情以某种形式产生着联系。我觉得最近一个星期内发生的一些列新闻事件正是一个完美的例证。Amy Coope

George Floyd以及明尼阿波利斯的人民。Amy Cooper在很多人看来是个催化剂。顺便说一句我应该提到,所有这些都是在新冠病毒的背景下发生的。人们被关在家里超过了以往任何时候,超过任何人能够记起数量的人们丢掉了工作,人们为生活的一切琐事挣扎。而这一切有又融合进了一个事实——领导人似乎拿不出真正意义上的计划。比如,没有人知道接下来会发生什么。没有人知道他们需要“乖乖”行事多久,他们需要待在家里多久,多久才能让病例曲线平缓。


大家什么都不知道。所以现在发生的事,有一群人被关在家里很久,我们所有人,整个社会,都被关在家里。接着我们开始去消费这个世界上发生的一切。对许多人来说,Amy Cooper也许是新冠病毒发生以来,最开始倒下的那些多米诺骨牌的其中之一。然后,你就了解到,当所有人同新冠病毒战斗的同时,在美国的黑人仍在同时面对着种族歧视与新冠病毒的双重战斗。我之所以称其为多米诺是因为,思考一下,多少黑人刚刚得知,同样面对新冠病毒,黑人遭受的影响(和白人)是不成比例的。这并不是因为黑人天生自带的某种东西,而是因为长久以来黑人在美国生活所需要面对的一切。你知道,新冠病毒暴露了一切。


现在,我们都看过视频了,看到这个女子(Amy Cooper)公然地知道如何利用她的白人身份,去对一个黑人进行人生威胁。我们在她身上看到的是一个完美的例子,非常强有力的例子,如何从结构上利用种族歧视。当Amy看着黑人Cooper说:“我会打911,我会告诉他们这里有个非裔美国人正在威胁我的生命。”她知道这么说是多么的有力。这件事情本身就在告诉我们,她如何看待警察,她,作为一个白人如何看待警察会如何看待非裔美国人,她和警察的关系,以及一个黑人和警察的关系。


这真的非常强有力。因为很多人看起来好像他们不知道美国黑人谈论此事的时候究竟在说什么。然而Amy Cooper有她的独特理解。她的表现在说:“是的,我知道。我知道你害怕和警察打交道,我知道这一切是因为你作为黑人会被提前预设有罪。我知道作为一个白人女性,我可以把这个工具当做武器。我知道当最终我们搞清楚了谁对谁错,很有可能你已经以某种形式失去了一些东西。”所以这对我来说就是第一块多米诺骨牌。


我们生活的这个世界,很多人已经看过了这个视频,很多人已经意识到“懂了!”这就好像帷幕已经被拉开,啊哈,所以你可以这么做。(种族歧视)一直都在被讨论,而这件事让人们切实看到了种族歧视是如何被利用的。很多人的反应可能是“靠,我们知道种族歧视是真实存在的,但这次是真真实实,千真万确存在的。你知道吗?”我想很多人对Amy如此愤怒,很大一部分是因为她的狗。我是说,我明白。很多人感觉到,如果宠物领养机构如果有权力,如果领导警察局的是领导宠物领养机构的那些人。他们会当机立断地说:“不行,女士,我们要求收回我们的狗”(注:Amy Cooper的狗是从领养机构领养的)这个做法我觉得真是好大大一个惩罚,她的工作当然是一回事(事发后Amy已被解雇),但是收回一个白人女性的狗,那是条乖乖的狗。


所以这是第一块多米诺,你意识到有些混乱正在发生。再一次说明,所有这一切,都发生在新冠病毒的大背景下。关于病毒的数字大家都看到了。Ahmaud Arbery事件已经发生了。




所有这些事情正在发生。然后George Floyd事件录像传到了网上。我不知道是什么愿意使得这个视频让人如此痛苦。一个活人在我们眼前被杀死,一个人被一些执法者谋杀,而他们的工作是保护和服务,还是杀人的警察看起来做这一切都如此冷静。


长久以来我们一直听到的是“警察的生命随时受到威胁”。但现在看起来更像是因为你可以这么做所以你就这么做了。一个黑人男子戴着手铐被压在地上,你可以结束他的生命,所以你这么做了。几乎知道这样做事后也不会有什么针对自己后果。接着每个人都从网上看到了这件事,无时无刻不在受着视频的冲击。


唯一让我看到的一丝曙光,就是从看到视频的那一刻起,好多人都在进行谴责。也许我是个乐观的人,但这是我从未见过的,至少从来没有在美国见过。一段警察的视频在网上传开,所有人都在表达不满。我是说,哪怕是FOX的评论员,警察局长官都在第一时间对他们所看到的这段视频进行谴责。他们没有提出任何质疑,并没有说些七七八八的,而是明确的表示视频中发生的事情是错误的。一个民众在相机面前被谋杀了。


然后(视频中的)这个警员被解雇了,这很好。但是,我觉得人们觉得理所的是很多人认为这一切没什么。有多傻人能够去结束另一个人的生命?然后这一切的做坏结果就是被解雇。我知道这件事还未结束,不要误会。但是,你知道,这里没有正义。假设这是在电影中电影中的情节,你至少希望这个警员,这个行凶者被戴上手铐,接受正义的制裁。是的,也许最终他们会被保释,或者之类的。但至少看到正义得到伸张能够抚平人们心中的悲伤。


当暴乱发生时,在我看来是许多事情的高潮。我看到网上很多人说“这些暴乱太让人憎恶了。一个社会不应该这样运行。你不可以打砸抢,你不可以肆意焚烧,你不可以。。。我们的社会不是以这样的方式建立的。”看到这些似乎开启了我脑袋里的某个开关。


好吧,你要说社会吗?但是什么是个社会?从根本上来说,社会是一个契约,一个我们作为人类互相之间签署的契约。我们以有声或者无声的方式相互之间签署了契约。我们会说“在我们这个团体内,我们就一些常识性的规则、想法和行为达成一致。”我们的社会正是建立在这些共识上的。这就是我说的社会是一个契约。就像其他契约一样,一个契约之所以强而有力是因为人们遵守契约。想想一下作为一个在美国生活的黑人,你生活在明尼安那波利斯、明尼苏达或者其他什么你过不了好日子的地方,问一下自己,对他们(黑人)来说,遵守这些契约到底能有什么好处?我们为什么不去打砸抢?因为我们就一些基本问题有着共识。有许多人正在忍受饥饿,有许多人一无所有,有许多人穷困潦倒,有许多人在面对病毒袭来的时候,他们一旦收不到工资他们就破产了。这很疯狂,但这是事实。想一想,有多少一无所有的人,他们会说“你知道吗?我依旧会遵守规则,即便我一无所有。因为我仍然希望这个社会能够存在并且运转。”


然后,社会中的一些人,明白说就是黑人,他们一次又一次目睹他们同这个社会签署的契约,并没有被迫使他们签署这些契约的这个社会所遵守。当你看到Ahmaud Arbery被射杀,然后你听说射杀他的两个人被释放。如果不是因为视频和人们的出离愤怒,行凶者们会继续他们的生活。这又算是社会中的哪门子契约?当你看到George Floyd被压在地上,一个男人以一种嘴不应该的方式被夺去生命,被原本应该扮演执法者的人夺去生命,这又算是社会中的哪门子契约?也许人们会问,(打砸抢)有什么好处吗?是的,但是不这样做有什么好处吗?这是个不曾被人们提起的问题。抢劫Target超市能帮你什么?是的,但是不抢超市有能帮到我什么吗?回答这个问题!你以前不抢超市是因为你维护者社会的契约。如果法律和有权力的人们他们自己做不到的话,社会的契约就不复存在。这是人们很多时候意识不到的问题。


我们需要站在这个社会顶端的人们是最负责任的。因为正是他们为这个社会设立了种种规章制度。我们是这样要求家长要为孩子树立榜样,是这样要求队长或者教练为队员们树立榜样,也是这样要求老师们为学生们树立榜样。我们这样做的原因是因为我们知道作为领导能够以身作则的话,手下才会按规则行事。如果执法者立法者不能遵守法律的话,凭什么要求民众遵守法律呢?


在Malcom Gladwell的”David and Goliath”一书中有个精彩的章节。他提到了原则,关于合法性的原则。他提到,为了让一个社会或者法理性的实体具有合法性,我们必须遵守三个核心原则。如果我没记错的话,这三个原则是:1)我们必须就这些原则达成一致。2)我们必须相信执法者能够公平执法。3)社会中的每个成员都能被这些原则公平对待。我想很公平地说,在刚过去的一周时间里,或者说从新冠病毒席卷美国以来,美国黑人们亲眼见证了这些原则被彻底践踏。如果你是个黑人并且你看到了这一切,你究竟看到了什么原则?


我觉得有些时候,我们需要牢记的是,老实说我自己也并不一直都记得,你开始学会一些事情,就是当你环游世界,当你阅读,当你了解到一个社会。作为一个有钱和一个穷人,你看待这个世界是很不一样的。人们经常对一无所有的人说“你这样做是不对的。”当Colin Kaepernick跪国旗的时候,他们说,这不是正确的抗议方式。





当马丁路德金在阿拉巴马的伯明翰召集孩子们一起抗议时,人们告诉他“让孩子们走在抗议的队伍里,这不是正确的抗议方式。”




当他行进到Selma时,人们说“这不是正确的做事方式”。当人民在南非街头抗议时人们说“这不是正确的做事方式”。当人们开始焚烧,他们被告知“这不是正确的做事方式”。


这从来不是正确的方式,因为从来都没有正确的方式。我以前就曾说过,从来都没有正确的抗议方式,因为这就是之所以要起来抗议的原因。这根本就不可能是正确的,因为你就是在抗议对你的不公。所以我认为很多人没有意识到的是,当你看到有人打砸抢Target超市你感到出离的愤怒,或者发自内心的鄙夷,扪心自问一下,如果你为趁火打劫超市这么意难平,试想一下,如果你作为黑人,眼睁睁看着自己生活中的每一天都在被打劫,你是什么感受?因为这就是本质上在美国发生的事。


美国警察随时都在打劫黑人。我知道有些人会想,这只是一个极端事件。但不是,我想这是很多人不曾意识到的。George Floyd死了,这是为什么这件事闹这么大的原因,因为他死了。但是有多少其他的George Floyd没有死?有多少人被膝盖压着他们的脖子?有多少Sandra Blands被肆意丢弃?我们不曾听说这些事情,因为这些事情还没有发展到如此严峻的地步,我们甚至已经对这些事情无动于衷。只有那些死亡,那些惨痛的死亡。


想想一下,如果你从小生活在一个社区(环境下),每一天都有人用膝盖压着你的脖子每一天都有人压迫着你,每一天。你告诉我着这种情况下,社会、社区、团体到底意味着什么?你知道这一切发生的唯一原因是因为你的肤色。并不是因为人们(明目张胆地)在说这些事情发生是因为你的肤色,而是这些事只发生在你身上,而只有你是有色人种。


我知道有人会争辩“为什么黑人杀人的时候黑人不在意”?嘿,这是最愚蠢的论调之一了。他们当然在意。当你随便去一个街区,不止美国,全世界任何一个地方,你就会知道黑人在意。如果你对执法不够和执法过当有任何一点点了解的话,你就会理解这是怎么回事。警察展示给黑人,他们的生命在这个社会中价值几分,所以在这些社区中生活的人们知道如何处理他们的生命。你最好相信,如果你杀了一个白人,尤其是在美国,相比于你在一个黑人社区或其他什么地方杀一个黑人,会有多得多的正义来制裁你。


所以我想对对看了这些(抗议,打砸抢)视频的人们说,不要问打砸抢是不是正确?要问打劫有什么帮助?不不不,问你自己这样一个问题。为什么看着这些人趁火打劫让你如此意难平?因为他们撕毁了你以为他们和这个社会签署的契约。然后想象一下你是他们(黑人),生活中的每一天都目睹着这些契约被肆意践踏。问一下你自己你是何感受?



下文评论转载自知乎曹小灵。

其实整个视频看完,你会发现,崔娃讲的不光是契约社会,他讲的更深层一点,佛洛依德之死的同一天(5月25日),还有Amy Cooper事件。

在纽约中央公园,一个黑人劝阻一个遛狗时候没有栓绳子白人女性,然后这个白人女性打电话报警诬陷,自己和狗的生命受到一个黑人的威胁。

这是崔娃整个视频前半部分在讲的内容,Amy Cooper事件在国内报道的比较少,基本都被佛洛依德之死给压下去了,但是暴露出来的问题,其实更严重,核心在于,她绝对知道自己在干嘛。

她也知道警察会对这样的报警是什么样的反应,她更知道出警的警察会对黑人进行带上偏见的执法

虽然政治正确挂在嘴边,但是白皮就是她最好的保护,而黑皮就是她最好的诬陷手段

崔娃是我最喜欢的「吐槽」主持人,他youtube上每个视频我都看过,他就像窦文涛一样,是个满嘴荒腔走板,但是看书非常的多内心很细腻的人,中途多次的停顿,都是在选择更好的词汇表达,他很谨慎。

Amy Cooper事件里面的受害者,是个完美受害者,哈佛大学毕业,做了9年漫威的编辑,所以没办法像佛洛依德那样的进行「犯罪前科宣传」,而Amy事后的道歉是:我不是一名种族主义者,我不是要故意伤害那个男人,但是核心还是那句话,她绝对知道自己在干嘛。

两个事件发生在同一天,这是崔娃想要讲的重点,前者是因,后者是果。

尽管有很多白人也上街支持,但是在大众白人眼中,政治正确是饭后的消遣,当面对冲突的时候,比如别人劝阻你不要遛狗不带绳的时候,白人/黑人就是一个利器。

身怀利器,杀心自起

Amy Cooper事件算是真正挑明了,黑人不要被周围的政治正确所迷惑了,歧视在人心,经常关注美国问题的小伙伴肯定也还记得,这次的I can't breathe,甚至都不是这次原创的口号。

2014年的时候,一个叫做埃里克·加纳的黑人男子被警察用15秒钟时间给弄死了,用的方式就是传说中雷雷可以单手破掉的裸绞。

甚至剧情都是一样的

甚至剧情都是一样的

甚至剧情都是一样的

有四名警察参与,加纳面朝下躺在人行道上,十一次重复着“我喘不过气”,等救护车来了以后,警察和紧急医疗技术员并未在现场对加纳执行心肺复苏术,同样的,哮喘、心脏疾病和肥胖被列为影响因素(就如同这次一样,说佛洛依德是心脏病加上体内可能含有毒物,压脖子只是诱因)

然后呢,民众进行了超过50场抗议游行,案发两个月后,大陪审团决定不起诉警察,这些都是2014年NBA明星抗议的照片,所以不出意外的话,佛洛依德之死又会这样过去,黑人游行一阵,警察不被起诉,之后,更多的Amy Cooper继续利用肤色来做文章。

江湖中流传爱因斯坦说过一句名言:疯狂就是重复做相同的事情,却期待不同的结果,如果继续单纯的上个街喊喊口号,那就是对2014年事件的重复,期待不出来更多的结果,所以崔娃才用契约社会论来说事情。

当契约已经崩坏的时候,只能用最原始的方式来反抗,据说第一个参与打砸抢的人,是一个警察,如果是真实的,那就是典型的把抗议活动往「一小撮坏分子」身上引导,激发民众的反感,再次让这次的抗议无疾而终。

所以崔娃很聪明,他知道在这种情况下,是没办法绕过打砸抢的非正义性的,也没办法厘清潜藏在抗议群体里面的搅屎棍,所以他直接掀翻了桌子。
