剖析: 谁才需要靠种族主义活着？（含音频）

文 | LEE

好的经验法则是，如果你不是一个有色人种，而这个国家有数百万的有色人种在说一件事或一个人是种族主义，那真的你就不该说不是。

您听说过黑卡吗？不，不是Visa或American Express的黑卡，这一张更有价值， 很多组织都是完全建立在它的基础上的，个人利用它可以获得财富和影响力。

如果这听起来像您可能希望拥有的东西，那么您应该知道只有一种方法可以使用它，就是：您必须天生拥有黑皮肤。这是唯一的要求，真的。你可以是穷人或者中产富有，这都不重要，黑卡仍然会落在你的＂整个受到压迫＂历史上 ，即使你从来没有被压迫过。

亮出黑卡，大多数白人都会畏缩，熟练地使用黑卡，您就能赢大奖，赚几百万却声称那些让您走到这一步的人其实憎恨您，有了黑卡，您就可以卖很多书，里面都是难以辨认的专业知识，这张卡强大到谁还在乎您的话是否有意义？您可以称自己为民权领袖并摧毁跨国公司，或者因为您不喜欢陪审团的审判结果而割裂自己的社区。

具有讽刺意味的是，您认为最有合法权利使用黑卡的人却拒绝使用它。

以我祖父为例，他从我九岁的时候就抚养我。他出生于1941年，在北卡罗来纳州的皇家市（Royal, North Carolina）工作，5岁时就开始在一个佃农农场的烘干机后面工作。吉姆·克劳（Jim Crow law, 美国种族隔离法）分开式饮水机和KKK都曾真实存在。 

他17岁娶了我的祖母，以打扫房屋和办公楼为生，直到他攒够了钱开办了自己的清洁公司。问题是，他从不玩肤色牌，我祖母也不玩肤色牌，如果他们有问题，他们不会责怪任何人，他们只是解决问题，他们也会让我这样做。

家务是他们家的必修课，每天上学前读《圣经》也是如此，我不喜欢读圣经，也讨厌做家务，但是我现在意识到纪律的细微约束有时会令人窒息，但却对我的性格产生了强烈的积极影响。

我是第一代大学生，这本来应该是成功的门票，但事实并非如此， 我带着一大堆债务离开了大学，也没有什么实际的技能。我的银行账户中只有80美元，前景渺茫， 

我不能放弃。我本可以深入挖掘自己的历史，然后号宣称自己是祖先被压迫的自然产物。我本可以打出黑牌，为自己的愚蠢决定免除所有责任。但我没有，否则我就会毁了我祖父的遗产。我为他具有将一无所有变成任何东西的毅力而感到自豪，并且我也无意将这些东西变成一无所有。 

然而，我的态度是有代价的，因为如果你生来就是黑人，而且你不认为你天生就是一个受害者，那么你的黑人身份的有效性会立即受到质疑。

好吧，随便！

如果认为自己不为自己的失败负责，会让我失去拥有一张想象卡片资格的话，那么我第一个声明：我不想要这张卡！我也不希望康奈尔·韦斯特或阿尔·夏普顿或任何其他人利用自己的肤色来玩弄体制，并以此作为榜样。

我以我的祖父为榜样，如果说我的家族史教会了我一件事，那就是我不需要一张黑牌或任何想象出来的东西来成就我自己。

作为记录，我的祖父现已退休，居住在他和祖母在北卡罗来纳州购买的一块土地建造的房屋中，那是他小时候在同一个农作物种植的农场。 

历史是独特的，历史是美丽的。

因为这里是美国，那是我玩过的唯一有兴趣的一张牌。

（原文记录）

Oh，good rule of thumb is, if you are not a person of color and millions of people of color across this country is saying a thing or a person is racist，it’s really not your place to say that isn’t ........

You heard about the black card，right？ 

No, not the one for Visa or American Express. This one is much more valuable. There are entire organizations is been built upon it，and individuals that have used it to acquire both wealth and influence. 

If this sounds like something you might wish to own，you should know that there was only one way you can get your hands on it.

You have to be born with black skin. That’s the only requirement.

Really，you could be poor and middle-class rich doesn’t matter. The black card will still can fall upon you an entire history of oppression even if you’ve never been oppressed. Flash the black card and most white people  will cower. Play the black card expertly and you can win awards, make millions all the while claimming  the people who got you there somehow hate you. With a black card you can sell books full of indecipherable pros，because  the card that powerful who cares if your words make any sense. You can call yourself a civil rights leader and shake down multinational corporation‘s，or you can torch your own neighborhood, because you didn’t like the outcome of a grand jury verdicts. 

Ironically the people you might think have the most legitimate claim to the black card refuse to use it. Take my grandfather for instant. He raised me from the time I was nine years old. Born in 1941 in Royal, North Carolina，he started working at age 5， laying out at the back of the dryer at a sharecropping farm. Jim Crow separate drinking fountains and the KKK were ever present realities. 

He was 17 when he married my grandmother. He made a living cleaning homes and office buildings, until he saved up enough money to open his own cleaning business. The thing is he never played any card nor did my grandmother. If they had problems, they didn’t blame anybody. They just fixed them and they raised me to do the same. Chores were a requirement in their household, so was reading the Bible every morning before school.

I didn’t like the Bible readings and I hated the chores，but I realize now that the small acts of discipline although sometimes stifling had a strong positive impact on my character. 

I was a first generation college student. This was supposed to be the ticket to prosperity, but it wasn’t. I left college with a mountain of debt and no practical skills. I had just $80 in my bank account and very few prospects.

I couldn’t give it up. 

I could’ve dug deep into my history and declared myself a natural product of ancestral oppression. I could’ve played the black card and absolved myself of all responsibility for my own stupid decisions.  

Except I didn’t because I would’ve destroyed my grandfathers legacy. I am proud that he had the fortitude to turn nothing into something and I have no intention of reversing that something back into a nothing. 

My attitude comes with a price, however，because if you are born black and you don’t except your natural status as a victim in the validity of your blackness is immediately called into question. 

Well, so be it.

If believing in myself excepting responsibility for my failure, somehow disqualifies me from owning an imaginary card let me be the first to declare; that I don’t want one.

I also don’t want Cornell West or Al Sharpton or insert anyone else, who uses their skin color to game the system as a role model. 

I already have my grandfather. If there is one thing that my family history has taught me  is, I do not need a black card or an imaginary anything to make something of myself. 

For the record, my grandfather is now retired and lives in a home that he and my grandmother built on a plot of land  purchased in North Carolina on the very same sharecropping farm that he worked on as a small child.

History is unique. History is beautiful，Because it’s American and that’s the only card I’ve ever been interested in playing.
