| 四、種族歧視變本加厲 | IV. Racial Discrimination Worse Than Ever |
| 2015年，美國(guó)的種族關(guān)系持續(xù)惡化，執(zhí)法司法領(lǐng)域依然是種族歧視的重災(zāi)區(qū)，種族仇恨犯罪時(shí)有發(fā)生，反穆斯林言論甚囂塵上，少數(shù)族裔在經(jīng)濟(jì)和社會(huì)生活中的弱勢(shì)地位難以扭轉(zhuǎn)。 | In 2015, racial relations in the United States kept deteriorating. Law enforcement and justice fields were heavily influenced by racial discrimination, and race-based hate crimes occurred occasionally. Anti-Muslim remarks caused a great clamor, and minority races were unable to change their vulnerable status in economic and social lives. |
| 種族關(guān)系為近20年來(lái)最糟糕年份。美國(guó)哥倫比亞廣播公司與《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》2015年5月4日聯(lián)合發(fā)布的調(diào)查顯示，61%的美國(guó)人認(rèn)為美國(guó)的種族關(guān)系差，這是1992年以來(lái)的最高點(diǎn)，大多數(shù)非洲裔和白人美國(guó)人均認(rèn)為美國(guó)種族關(guān)系處于糟糕狀態(tài)。(注46)《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》和美國(guó)全國(guó)廣播公司新聞網(wǎng)2015年12月的聯(lián)合調(diào)查顯示，認(rèn)為美國(guó)的種族關(guān)系處于良好狀態(tài)的美國(guó)人從2009年1月的77%下降到34%。(注47)美國(guó)公共宗教研究所2015年11月發(fā)布的調(diào)查結(jié)果顯示，35%的被調(diào)查者認(rèn)為自己居住的社區(qū)存在種族緊張問(wèn)題，比2012年增長(zhǎng)了18個(gè)百分點(diǎn)。(注48)皮尤中心2015年8月發(fā)布的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，50%的美國(guó)人認(rèn)為種族主義是美國(guó)社會(huì)的嚴(yán)重問(wèn)題；60%的美國(guó)人認(rèn)為國(guó)家需要繼續(xù)努力促進(jìn)種族平等，比一年前高出14個(gè)百分點(diǎn)。(注49) | Americans' view of race relations was at a two-decade low. A poll jointly released by the CBS News and The New York Times on May 4, 2015 showed that 61 percent of Americans characterized race relations in the United States as "bad," including a majority of white and black respondents. The figure was the highest since 1992 (newyork.cbslocal.com, May 4, 2015). A Wall Street Journal-NBC News poll in December 2015 showed that only 34 percent of Americans believe race relations in the United States were fairly good or very good, down from a high of 77 percent in January 2009 (blogs.wsj.com, December 16, 2015). A survey released in November 2015 by the Public Religion Research Institute in the United States showed that 35 percent of Americans believed racial tensions were a major concern in their own communities, jumping 18 percentage points from 2012 (publicreligion.org, November 17, 2015). Figures released in August 2015 by Pew Research Center showed that 50 percent of Americans said that racism was a big problem in the U.S. society; 60 percent Americans said the country needed to continue making changes to achieve racial equality, up 14 percentage points from a year ago (www.people-press.org, August 5, 2015). |
| 警察殺害非洲裔美國(guó)人的案件屢屢發(fā)生。2015年11月15日，明尼蘇達(dá)州明尼阿波利斯市24歲非洲裔男子賈馬爾·克拉克被白人警察開(kāi)槍打死。事發(fā)時(shí)，兩名警察正試圖逮捕他。據(jù)目擊者稱，克拉克頭部中槍時(shí)雙手戴著手銬。一個(gè)名為 “黑人生命很重要” 的民權(quán)團(tuán)體在全國(guó)多個(gè)城市組織抗議游行?；顒?dòng)組織者在社交網(wǎng)站上表示，“現(xiàn)在整個(gè)美國(guó)都彌漫著反對(duì)有色人種的白人至上恐怖主義。”(注50) 2015年4月12日，25歲的非洲裔男子弗雷迪·格雷在馬里蘭州西巴爾的摩地區(qū)遭警方逮捕時(shí)，被警察用膝蓋頂住背部和頭部、雙手反銬在背后、臉朝下拖進(jìn)警車。在發(fā)現(xiàn)格雷呼吸困難并要求幫助后，警察并未理會(huì)。格雷隨后出現(xiàn)昏迷，直至送醫(yī)院后死亡，死因是脊柱嚴(yán)重受傷。事件引發(fā)巴爾的摩市居民大規(guī)?？棺h示威。示威活動(dòng)27日演變成暴力沖突，導(dǎo)致馬里蘭州宣布進(jìn)入緊急狀態(tài)，并出動(dòng)國(guó)民警衛(wèi)隊(duì)維持秩序。這是繼2014年白人警察槍殺非洲裔少年布朗引發(fā)弗格森騷亂后，美國(guó)州政府6個(gè)月內(nèi)第二次動(dòng)用國(guó)民警衛(wèi)隊(duì)維護(hù)秩序?！都~約時(shí)報(bào)》4月28日評(píng)論稱，“格雷成為這個(gè)國(guó)家警察暴行的最新象征”。(注51) 據(jù)《華盛頓郵報(bào)》網(wǎng)站統(tǒng)計(jì)，截至2015年12月24日，警察全年共射殺965人，其中36人是手無(wú)寸鐵的非洲裔美國(guó)人。(注52)美國(guó)哥倫比亞廣播公司與《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》2015年5月4日聯(lián)合發(fā)布的調(diào)查顯示，79%的非洲裔美國(guó)人認(rèn)為警察更容易針對(duì)非洲裔使用致命性武器，非洲裔比白人更傾向于認(rèn)為地方警察帶給他們的是焦慮感而不是安全感。(注53)全美律師協(xié)會(huì)公布的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查顯示，88%的非洲裔和59%的白人相信非洲裔美國(guó)人遭受到警察不公正的對(duì)待。(注54) | Cases of African-Americans being killed by police occurred repeatedly. On November 15, 2015, the 24-year-old African-American Jamar Clark was shot dead by white police officers. The fatal shooting occurred when two police officers were trying to arrest him. Witnesses said that Clark was handcuffed when he was shot in the head. The civil rights organization "Black Lives Matter" organized protests in multiple cities across the country. In a Facebook post, Black Lives Matter activists noted "the era of white supremacist terrorism against people of color across the U.S.," (www.theatlantic.com, November 18, 2015; www.mprnews.org, November 20, 2015; www.huffingtonpost.com, November 24, 2015) On April 12, 2015, as 25-year-old African-American Freddie Gray was being arrested, police handcuffed him and had knees on his back and his head. Gray was dragged and thrown into the back of a police van with his face down. Gray requested medical attention while being transported in the van but the request was denied. Gray lapsed into a coma following the journey on April 12 and died a week later in a hospital. He died of a severe spinal cord injury. The incident sparked large-scale protests in Baltimore. The protests turned violent on April 27, and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan declared a state of emergency and activated the National Guard. It was the second time in six months that a state called out the National Guard to enforce order after a white police officer killed a black teenager, Michael Brown, in Ferguson in 2014. The New York Times said that Gray had become the nation's latest symbol of police brutality in an April 28 story. (edition.cnn.com, April 29, 2015; www.bbc.com, May 5, 2015; baltimore.cbslocal.com, April 27, 2015; www.nytimes.com, April 27 and 28, 2015) According to The Washington Post website, police fatally shot 965 people in 2015 as of December 24, 2015, including 36 unarmed African-Americans (www.washingtonpost.com, December 24, 2015). The CBS News-New York Times poll released on May 4, 2015 showed that 79 percent of African-Americans believed police were more likely to use deadly force against a black person than against a white person, and black respondents were more likely than white respondents to believe their local police made them feel anxious rather than safe (newyork.cbslocal.com, May 4, 2015). According to a poll released by the National Bar Association in the United States, 88 percent of blacks believed black people were treated unfairly by police, compared with 59 percent of whites who shared that view (www.usatoday.com, September 9, 2015). |
| 刑事司法領(lǐng)域種族歧視嚴(yán)重。2015年蓋勒普公司的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查顯示，68%的非洲裔美國(guó)人和37%的白人認(rèn)為美國(guó)的刑事司法體系存在種族歧視。(注55)公共宗教研究所的調(diào)查顯示，51%的美國(guó)人認(rèn)為非洲裔和其他少數(shù)族裔在刑事司法體系中與白人相比受到了不平等對(duì)待，78%的非洲裔美國(guó)人認(rèn)為他們?cè)谛淌滤痉w系中受到不平等待遇。(注56)在一些案件審判過(guò)程中，公訴人在選任陪審團(tuán)成員時(shí)會(huì)刻意將符合條件的非洲裔陪審員排除出去。在美國(guó)南部地區(qū)，這種操縱陪審團(tuán)種族構(gòu)成的做法極為常見(jiàn)。(注57) | Racial discrimination in the criminal justice system was severe. A Gallup survey in 2015 showed that 68 percent of African-Americans believed the American criminal justice system was racially biased, while 37 percent of whites said the same (www.usatoday.com, June 18, 2015). According to a survey released by the Public Religion Research Institute, 51 percent of Americans disagreed that blacks and other minorities received equal treatment as whites in the criminal justice system, and 78 percent of black Americans disagreed that blacks and other minorities received equal treatment to whites in the criminal justice system (publicreligion.org, May 7, 2015). Prosecutors intentionally struck black people from juries in trials of black defendants. In the South, the practice for prosecutors to strike jurors based on race remained common (www.newyorker.com, June 5, 2015). |
| 種族仇恨犯罪時(shí)有發(fā)生。46歲的克雷格·斯蒂芬·?？怂褂?015年2月10日在北卡羅萊納大學(xué)附近槍殺三名穆斯林學(xué)生，兇手此前時(shí)常在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上發(fā)表各種反宗教言論。(注58)21歲的白人男子戴倫·魯夫2015年6月17日晚在南卡羅萊納州查爾斯頓一個(gè)非洲裔美國(guó)人教堂內(nèi)槍殺了包括牧師在內(nèi)的9人。魯夫在行兇時(shí)對(duì)受害者大喊：“你們強(qiáng)奸我們的婦女，占領(lǐng)我們的國(guó)家，你們必須滾出去?！?注59) | Race-related hate crimes occurred occasionally. Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, shot dead three Muslim students near the University of North Carolina on February 10, 2015. Hicks had frequently posted messages critical of various religions on the Internet (indianexpress.com, June 5, 2015). On June 17, 2015, Dylann Roof, a 21-year-old white man, opened fire and killed nine people, including a pastor, at an African-American church in Charleston in South Carolina. According to witnesses, Roof told the victims, "You rape our women and you're taking over our country, and you have to go (www.cbsnews.com, June 17, 2015; www.bbc.com, June 19, 2015)." |
| 反穆斯林言論甚囂塵上。英國(guó)《衛(wèi)報(bào)》網(wǎng)站2015年11月19日?qǐng)?bào)道，一位共和黨總統(tǒng)參選人公開(kāi)發(fā)表言論，稱會(huì)考慮對(duì)穆斯林實(shí)施未經(jīng)授權(quán)的搜查，增加對(duì)清真寺的監(jiān)控，并聲稱不排除建立追蹤美國(guó)穆斯林的數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)，或給穆斯林頒發(fā)標(biāo)明其宗教信仰的特殊身份證。(注60)12月7日，該參選人又聲稱“應(yīng)全面禁止穆斯林進(jìn)入美國(guó)”。(注61)近年來(lái)，美國(guó)人對(duì)伊斯蘭教的看法變得越來(lái)越負(fù)面。美國(guó)公共宗教研究所的調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，56%的美國(guó)民眾認(rèn)為伊斯蘭教與美國(guó)基本價(jià)值相沖突，持此觀點(diǎn)的共和黨人高達(dá)76%。(注62)聯(lián)合國(guó)人權(quán)委員會(huì)對(duì)美國(guó)“執(zhí)法人員對(duì)某些族裔群體特別是穆斯林的監(jiān)視表示關(guān)切”。(注63) | Anti-Muslim remarks caused a great clamor. The Guardian reported on November 19, 2015 that a Republican presidential candidate made public comments, saying that he would consider warrantless searches of Muslims and increased surveillance of mosques, and that he would not rule out tracking Muslim Americans in a database or giving them "a special form of identification that noted their religion (www.theguardian.com, November 19, 2015)." On December 7, the presidential candidate made a statement calling for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States (www.economist.com, December 8, 2015)." In recent years, Americans' view on Islam became more and more negative. According to a survey by the Public Religion Research Institute, 56 percent of Americans said that the values of Islam were "at odds" with America's values and way of life, and 76 percent of Republicans were especially likely to have the same opinion (www.washingtonpost.com, November 17, 2015). The Human Rights Committee remained concerned about the practice of racial profiling and surveillance by law enforcement officials targeting certain ethnic minorities, notably Muslims (daccess-dds-ny.un.org). |
| 少數(shù)族裔處境艱難。美國(guó)勞工統(tǒng)計(jì)局?jǐn)?shù)據(jù)顯示，2015年11月白人失業(yè)率為4.3%，非洲裔為9.4%，拉美裔為6.4%。非洲裔失業(yè)率是白人失業(yè)率的兩倍以上，拉美裔失業(yè)率比白人高出近50%。(注64)非洲裔大學(xué)生失業(yè)率與白人高中生失業(yè)率大致相當(dāng)。(注65)在愛(ài)荷華州，33%的非洲裔家庭年收入低于2萬(wàn)美元，而只有8%的白人家庭低于此數(shù)。超過(guò)20%的白人家庭年收入超過(guò)10萬(wàn)美元，而只有8%的非洲裔家庭能達(dá)到同樣水平。(注66)在紐約無(wú)家可歸者收容所的受助者中，約57%是非洲裔，31%是拉美裔，8%是白人。(注67)據(jù)美國(guó)有線電視新聞網(wǎng)網(wǎng)站2015年2月18日?qǐng)?bào)道，種族之間的收入不平等進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)大，白人擁有的財(cái)富是非洲裔的12倍，是拉美裔的近11倍，“對(duì)于很多非洲裔和拉美裔美國(guó)家庭而言，美國(guó)夢(mèng)仍然遙不可及?！?注68)非洲裔美國(guó)人達(dá)內(nèi)爾·沃克拍攝的名為《尋求避難》的紀(jì)錄片在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上放映后，引起強(qiáng)烈反響。該片記錄了非洲裔美國(guó)人的困境。由于警察的野蠻執(zhí)法等原因，一些非洲裔美國(guó)人在美國(guó)不再感到安全，希望轉(zhuǎn)到其他地方定居。針對(duì)美國(guó)連續(xù)發(fā)生的警察殺害非洲裔事件，2004年從美國(guó)移居法國(guó)的作家邁爾斯·馬歇爾·劉易斯在2014年出版了《黑人沒(méi)有國(guó)家》一書。(注69) | Minority races were in a dire situation. According to figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, the unemployment rates in November 2015 were 4.3 percent for whites, 9.4 percent for blacks and 6.4 percent for Hispanics. The unemployment rate for blacks more than doubled that for whites, and the figure for Hispanics was 50 percent higher than that for whites (www.bls.gov). The unemployment rate for black college graduates was roughly equal to the rate for white Americans with associate degrees (huffingtonpost.com, December 18, 2015). A third of Iowa's black households earned less than 20,000 U.S. dollars annually, compared with 8 percent of white households. More than one fifth of white households in Iowa earned 100,000 U.S. dollars or more in a year, but only eight percent of black households did (www.usatoday.com, October 31, 2015). Approximately 57 percent of New York City homeless shelter residents were African-American, 31 percent were Latino, 8 percent were white (www.coalitionforthehomeless.org, March 18, 2015). According to a CNN report on February 18, 2015, financial inequality was pervading the country and it was getting worse. Whites had 12 times the wealth of blacks and nearly 10 times more than Hispanics. "The American Dream remains out of reach for many African-American and Hispanic families." (money.cnn.com, February 18, 2015) The documentary Seeking Asylum by African-American Darnell Walker triggered heated responses after debuting online, chronicling the plight of black Americans who no longer felt safe in the United States due to rampant police brutality and were looking to settle elsewhere. Miles Marshall Lewis, who moved to France in 2004 from the United States, published his book "No Country for Black Men" in 2014, a response to the wave of police killings targeting blacks (www.thedailybeast.com, November 11, 2015). |
