美國曾經提出了一個絕育計劃並付諸行動,很多南方的紅脖子白人被當作退化家族對待。從1938年到1968年30年期間,大約有6.8萬被強行絕育,而這項法律直到1974年才被提出廢止,真正實行廢止其實是在1977年,將近40年時間。
這就是所謂的“凱勒奇計劃”,所以具體受害者有多少,根本無法統計。而當年受到絕育迫害的受害者,如今還有大概3000人左右。黑人就算再慘,可他們仍有生育權利,而紅脖子直接被變成了公公,這簡直是要滅族啊!
當年被實施種族滅絕計劃的美國紅脖子白人,他們男女閹割的待遇,很難想象是發生在美國這樣的自由、民主的超級大國。
The Supreme Court Ruling That Led To 70,000 Forced Sterilizations
In 1927, the U.S. Supreme Court decided, by a vote of 8 to 1, to uphold a state's right to forcibly sterilize a person considered unfit to procreate. The case, known as Buck v. Bell, centered on a young woman named Carrie Buck, whom the state of Virginia had deemed to be "feebleminded."
Author Adam Cohen tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross that Buck v. Bell was considered a victory for America's eugenics movement, an early 20th century school of thought that emphasized biological determinism and actively sought to "breed out" traits that were considered undesirable.
"There were all kinds of categories of people who were deemed to be unfit [to procreate]," Cohen says. "The eugenicists looked at evolution and survival of the fittest, as Darwin was describing it, and they believed 'We can help nature along, if we just plan who reproduces and who doesn't reproduce.' "
All told, as many as 70,000 Americans were forcibly sterilized during the 20th century. The victims of state-mandated sterilization included people like Buck who had been labeled "mentally deficient," as well as those who who were deaf, blind and diseased. Minorities, poor people and "promiscuous" women were often targeted.
