今天有网友传给我一份白宫的email，是关于对一份超过10万人的签名的回复。这个事情源于一个黑人歌手在 youtube 上上传了一首歌，歌词中有鼓励黑人抢劫华裔的内容。对于签名这个事情，我并没有关注。坦白说，我对于种族歧视方面的东西不是很敏感。在我看来，马丁路德金所谓的梦想早已在美国实现：I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.美国的法律已经制定了近乎完美、甚至可以说是苛刻的禁止种族歧视的条文。所以，我也非常不理解那些发动白宫签名的华裔：你们是不是就是因为吝啬自己的荷包，才发动这种免费的签名呢？如果你们觉得这个黑人歌手的内容冒犯了整个华裔，属于种族歧视，那么，去法庭去！告这个歌手，告发布这首歌的 youtube. 华裔在美国属于有钱的族裔，但是做起事情来，却总是让我想到葛朗台。（作者一剑飘尘，微信公众号：yjpc21）
但是，白宫对于这件事情的回应，还是让我非常愤怒。我们首先看看白宫回应内容：

（1） These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, JUST ENOUGH TO QUIET THEM DOWN, NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again.
