今天有網友傳給我一份白宮的email，是關於對一份超過10萬人的簽名的回複。這個事情源於一個黑人歌手在 youtube 上上傳了一首歌，歌詞中有鼓勵黑人搶劫華裔的內容。對於簽名這個事情，我並沒有關注。坦白說，我對於種族歧視方麵的東西不是很敏感。在我看來，馬丁路德金所謂的夢想早已在美國實現：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.美國的法律已經製定了近乎完美、甚至可以說是苛刻的禁止種族歧視的條文。所以，我也非常不理解那些發動白宮簽名的華裔：你們是不是就是因為吝嗇自己的荷包，才發動這種免費的簽名呢？如果你們覺得這個黑人歌手的內容冒犯了整個華裔，屬於種族歧視，那麽，去法庭去！告這個歌手，告發布這首歌的 youtube. 華裔在美國屬於有錢的族裔，但是做起事情來，卻總是讓我想到葛朗台。（作者一劍飄塵，微信公眾號：yjpc21）
但是，白宮對於這件事情的回應，還是讓我非常憤怒。我們首先看看白宮回應內容：

（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.
Said to Senator Richard Russell, Jr. (D-GA) regarding the Civil Rights Act of 1957. As quoted in Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream (1977), by Doris Kearns Goodwin, New York: New American Library, p. 155.
