美国黑人

In time, intermarriage between whites and blacks or American Indians was defined as "miscegenation" and forbidden by law through much of the country.

后来，白人与黑人或者美国印第安人之间的跨种族婚姻被定义为"杂婚"，而且在美国大多数地区是非法的。

Similarly, affront to minority in China is illegal and calling African America as black is believed disrespect and racialism.

与此类似，在中国对少数民族的侮辱是违法行为，在美国称一位非洲裔美国人为"黑人"被认为是不尊重和种族主义。

Contrast this with American baseball, where the major league owners had a virtual monopoly of the industry. They did not accept any black players until Branch Rickey broke the color bar in 1947 by promoting Jackie Robinson from the minor leagues to the Brooklyn Dodgers.

将这与美国棒球相比较，美国职棒联盟的所有者在该行业是实际上的垄断者，他们拒绝接受任何黑人球员，直到Branch Ricke从小职业联盟中将Jackie Robinson提升到布鲁克林道奇队，才打破这种对有色人种的歧视。

She doesn't acknowledge that Black and Indigenous Americans have long lived under quasi-fascist rule, she doesn't examine the role that previous administrations have played in setting the stage for the Bush regime, and she doesn't acknowledge the roles played by corporatism, widespread social dislocation and the radical Christian right in the rise of a fascist American zeitgeist.

她不承认黑人和土著美国人已长期生活在准法西斯统治，她不审查的作用，以往的历届政府都发挥在设定阶段，为布什政权的，她不承认所扮演的角色统合主义，广泛与社会脱节，和激进的基督教右翼在崛起的法西斯美国时代精神。

Senator Trent Lott apologized for suggesting that the country would have averted many problems if onetime segregationist Strom Thurmond had won the 1948 presidential race. Vicente Fox, the president of Mexico, apologized for saying that Mexicans were willing to take jobs in the United States "that not even blacks want to do." Evange list Pat Robertson apologized for saying that the United States should kill Venezuela's president, Hugo Chavez, and for suggesting that the stroke suffered by Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon was divine retribution for "dividing God's land."

共和党参议员Trent Lott为曾说过如果1948年总统选举中当时是参议员的Strom Thurmond获胜美国将不会出现一系列的问题而道歉；墨西哥总统Vicente Fox，为曾说过墨西哥人愿意干"那些甚至连黑人都不愿意做的"工作而道歉； Evange list Pat Robertson 为曾说美国应当处死委内瑞拉总统 Hugo Chavez并暗示以色列首相Ariel Sharon遭受心脏病打击是因为他"分裂上天的土地。"

Partly, I think, it's because those of us in public life have become so scripted, and the gestures that candidates use to signify their values have become so standardized (a stop at a black church, the hunting trip, the visit to a NASCAR track, the reading in the kindergarten classroom) that it becomes harder and harder for the public to distinguish between honest sentiment and political stagecraft.

我认为，一部分是因为我们在公众生活中变得完全是照本宣歌，候选人们用来表明他们价值观的行为方式已经变成标准形式（短暂地拜访一所黑人教堂，狩猎旅行，在一次美国国家赛车联合会（NASCAR，其赛车是全球最著名的赛车运动之一，在美国更是具有无可替代的地位）的比赛中露面，在幼儿园为孩子们读书），民众越来越难以区别什么是正直情操，什么是政治做秀。

Although they account for only 13% of the total population, blacks make up 49% of all prisoners.

以美国黑人为例，黑人只占美国人口的13%，却占囚犯总数的49%。

Then there is Fidel's claim, earlier this year, that while Cuba has enshrined racial equality, America is irredeemably racist and would never accept a black man as president.

卡斯特罗在年初时候还在鼓吹古巴对种族平等的尊重，并断言美国仍然是不可救药的种族主义国家，美国人绝对不会接受一个黑人成为它们的总统。

For them, it seems to capture a vision of America finally freed from the past of Jim Crow and slavery, Japanese internment camps and Mexican braceros, workplace tensions and cultural conflict—an America that fulfills Dr.

对他们而言，这似乎唤起了一种憧憬，未来的美国，终于从历史中解脱出来，不再歧视黑人，不再有奴隶制，不再出现&二战&日裔美国人拘留营和墨西哥客工计划，也不再有职场焦虑和文化冲突。

It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned.

如果美国忽视时间的迫切性和低估黑人的决心，那么，这对美国来说，将是致命伤。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
