感谢版主组织了周六的游行，大概部分原因是由于时间的便利，
参与情况大大好于周三LA. 但是版主的组织能力和圣地亚哥华人的热情
参与也是胜利的关键。
我觉得这是一次很大的胜利， 但是今后提高的空间还有很大。 我们华人
缺少演讲的人才。审视一下我自己， 英文水平到了关键时候就觉得远远
不够用。 别说演讲不行， 就连解释给路人听也是需要语言技巧的。要是
我们有好的演讲人才， 搭个台子， 用麦克风和扬声器把我们的信息传递
出去， 得到的效果会更好。
本来想的是鼓励年轻人， 和我们的孩子们，加强英文学习和演讲能力的
提高， 后来觉得其实我们30多岁的大叔大妈们也还能学习提高的。
作为对提高华人地位的支持，我从自己做起， 以后想要做的几件事情是：
1. 加强英文表达能力，演讲能力
2. 多参与本地政治活动， 不管是民主党还是共和党的集会， 都要参加。
不管是支持还是反对那些政党或者候选人， show up就是很好的一个做法，
他们看到华人的脸越多， 就越会重视华人的参与， 也会开始聆听华人
的诉求。 如果不参与， 那么他们就会忽略华人群体的存在。
下面是一个NAACP的人在圣何塞机会的演讲词， 贴过来跟大家分享一下。

I was glad to be here today... I would say I would be glad to be here today
if I was here to celebrate with you the moon festival, I could say I would
be glad to be here today if I was to celebrate the Chinese new years, but I
have gather here today to deal with another racist practice of somebody on
national television is a shame.
Lao Tzu said "Respond intelligently even to unintelligent treatment". And I
am telling you it is time to respond to him intelligently even though he has
acted unintelligently.
Anyone who has been in state of California should know something about the
Chinese history -? the exclusion of Chinese people, and the treatment that
American, and Californian particularly have treated Chinese people. So for
ABC and Jimmy Kimmel to allow this to go out on National Television, is a
shame and a embarrassment not only to state of California, but to American
as a whole.
A Chinese proverb says, "A man's conversation is the mirror of his thoughts"
. Jimmy, we know how you think, we know how you feel about people of color.
That was displayed by this sensationalism in television you've used over
the last month and half, one with Kanye West and a black thing going just a
month and a half ago. So in order to keep his ratings, he used this cheap
form of television in order to entertain some guest.
Teaching kids to hate has long been an American issue. Kids are not born to
hate, they are taught how to hate. His show demonstrates how hatred got
trained. With all the lately gun violence in the country, for him to talk
about killing people, is a shame.
In this history of the exclusion in California, those of us that know about
Peter Burnett, former governor here, who did not build California here for
Chinese, Mexicans or Blacks. We are dismayed at this continued celebration
of that type of rhetoric in California.
The kid segment should been cut and taken out or not even done at all. I
stand with this community here in Santa Clara county, and throughout the
state, to do whatever is necessary, to bring Jimmy Kimmel and ABC's
production of television like that, that is disgraceful to America and to
this country, off the air.
Again, there is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world,?
that is not intended to make us rejoice.? Regardless nationality, ethnicity
or creed, or sexuality you may be, we are all part of the same race, and
that's the human race.
Everybody gets up in the morning, wanting their kids to have a safe day,
want to go to work and come home and provide for their family, are the basic
human needs. Every American citizen and any human being is entitled to that
, so we stand against anybody who teaches hate or wants to produce any type
of hatred that goes on the air, and that goes from Radio to Television and
to the Internet.
And again, I stand with you, anything I can do, Kansen, my brother, just
calling me, I am there. |
