1393
我把車慢慢靠邊停，
02:58
under the brightest streetlight I can find

我把雙手放在方向盤上，
03:10
my hands are placed on the steering wheel,
63
178708
2310
這些都在警察下車前完成。
03:13
all before the officer exits the vehicle.
64
181042
3416
03:17
This is how to stay alive.
65
185292
3000
這是要活命的方式。
03:21
As we wait, I think
about these headlines --
about these headlines --
66
189042
3226
在等待時，
我想到這些新聞標題——
我想到這些新聞標題——
03:24
"Police shoot another
unarmed black person" --
unarmed black person" --
67
192292
3767
「警察又射殺一位未武裝的黑人」。
03:28
and I don't want to join them.
68
196083
1875
我不想成為下一個。
03:31
The good news is,
our officer was friendly.
our officer was friendly.
69
199208
3143
好消息是，這位警察很友善。
03:34
She told us our tags were expired.
70
202375
2726
她告訴我們，我們的
車牌註冊證過期了。

03:37
So to all the white parents out there,
71
205125
1893
白人父母們請注意，
如果跟你們孩子在一起的人，
03:39
if your child is involved with a person

207042
2434
03:41
whose skin tone is rated
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson or darker --
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson or darker --
73

皮膚是巨石強生的顏色或更深——
03:44
(Laughter)
74
212875
2518
（笑聲）
03:47
you need to get that car inspected,
update the paperwork every time we visit.

75
215417
3642
每次他們造訪時，你的車一定要
記得檢驗，車牌登記證等也要更新。
記得檢驗，車牌登記證等也要更新。
03:51
That's just common courtesy.
76
219083
1393
這是基本禮節。
03:52
(Laughter)
77
220500
1268
（笑聲）
03:53
(Applause)
78
221792
3601
（掌聲）
03:57
I got lucky.
79
225417
2017
我很走運。
03:59
I got a law enforcement professional.
80
227458
3143
我遇到的是專業的執法人員。
04:02
I survived something
that should not require survival.
that should not require survival.
81
230625
3750
我從一件通常無關存活的事情，
倖存了下來。
04:07
And I think about
this series of stories --
this series of stories --
82
235375
2976
我想著一連串的事件
04:10
"Police shoot another
unarmed black person" --
unarmed black person" --
83
238375
2643
「警察又射殺一個未武裝的黑人」，
04:13
and that season when those stories
popped up everywhere.
popped up everywhere.
84
241042
4351
以及在這類事件不斷發生的那段時間。
04:17
I would scroll through my feed
85
245417
2101
我會滑動瀏覽我訂閱的饋送資訊，
04:19
and I would see a baby announcement photo.
86
247542
2642
看到一張宣佈寶寶出生的照片，
04:22
I'd see an ad for a product
87
250208
1893
看到一個廣告，
04:24
I had just whispered
to a friend about yesterday.
to a friend about yesterday.
88
252125
3393
是我昨天才私下跟朋友說的產品，
04:27
I would see a video of a police officer
gunning down someone
gunning down someone
89
255542
3184
看到一個警察擊斃平民的影片，
04:30
who looked just like me.
90
258750
1934
而這個人長得很像我。
04:32
And I'd see a think piece
91
260708
1268
我會看到一篇個人想法的文章，
04:34
about how millennials
have replaced sex with avocado toast.

92

3143
報導千禧世代

04:37
(Laughter)
93
265167
1601
（笑聲）
04:38
It was a confusing time.
94
266792
2726
那是個令人困惑的時代，
04:41
Those stories kept popping up,
95
269542
2101
那些故事不斷跳出來。
04:43
but in 2018, those stories got changed out
for a different type of story,
for a different type of story,
96
271667
5851
但在 2018 年，
那些故事有了不同的情節，
04:49
stories like, "White Woman Calls Cops
On Black Woman Waiting For An Uber."
On Black Woman Waiting For An Uber."
97
277542
4434
像是「白人女子報警
舉報黑人女子等 Uber 」，
舉報黑人女子等 Uber 」，
04:54
That was Brooklyn Becky.
98
282000
2559
那是「布魯克林貝基」事件。
04:56
Then there was, "White Woman Calls Police
99
284583
1976
接著還有「白人女子報警
舉報八歲黑人女孩賣水」，
舉報八歲黑人女孩賣水」，
04:58
On Eight-Year-Old Black Girl
Selling Water."
Selling Water."
100
286583
2101
那是「帕蒂許可證」事件。
05:00
That was Permit Patty.
101
288708
1435
然後有「白人女子報警舉報
黑人家庭在奧克蘭湖邊燒烤」，
黑人家庭在奧克蘭湖邊燒烤」，
05:02
Then there was, "Woman Calls Police
102
290167
1726
05:03
On Black Family BBQing
At Lake In Oakland."
At Lake In Oakland."
103
291917
2517
05:06
That was now infamous BBQ Becky.
104
294458
3685
那是臭名昭著的「燒烤貝基」事件。
05:10
And I contend that these stories
of living while black
of living while black
105
298167
3184
我主張這些「 以黑人活著」的事件，
（黑人正常行為被白人報警）
（黑人正常行為被白人報警）
05:13
are actually progress.
106
301375
1768
實際上反映了進步。
05:15
We used to find out
after the extrajudicial police killings.
after the extrajudicial police killings.
107
303167
3976
過去我們都是在警察
濫殺黑人後才知道，
濫殺黑人後才知道，
05:19
Now, we're getting video
of people calling 911.
of people calling 911.
108
307167
2976
現在我們能看到白人報警的影片。
05:22
We're moving upstream,
109
310167
1726
我們實際上在進步，
05:23
closer to the problem
and closer to the solution.
and closer to the solution.
110
311917
3125
離問題和解決方法更近了。
於是我開始收集，
05:27
So I started a collection
111
315917
2601
05:30
of as many of these stories
as I could find.
as I could find.
112
318542
2476
盡可能收集這些事件。
05:33
I built an evolving,
still-growing database
still-growing database
113
321042
2726
我構建了持續更新和擴大的數據庫，
在網站 baratunde.com/livingwhileblack。
05:35
at baratunde.com/livingwhileblack.
114
323792
2851
05:38
Seeking understanding,
I realized the process
I realized the process
115
326667
3017
在嘗試解讀時，
我意識到這實際上就是
05:41
was really diagramming sentences
to understand these headlines.
to understand these headlines.
116
329708
4893
分析標題的句子結構。
05:46
And I want to thank
my Sidwell English teacher Erica Berry
my Sidwell English teacher Erica Berry
117
334625
3309
感謝席德威中學的英文教師
埃里卡·貝里，
埃里卡·貝里，
和所有的英文教師。
05:49
and all English teachers.
118
337958
1435
你們給了我爭取自由的工具。
05:51
You have given us tools
to fight for our own freedom.
to fight for our own freedom.
119
339417
2958
05:55
What I found was a process
to break down the headline
to break down the headline
120
343583
2976
我發現了拆分標題的方式，
05:58
and understand the consistent layers
121
346583
2726
也就了解每個標題當中一致的層次：
06:01
in each one:
122
349333
1351
06:02
a subject takes an action against a target
engaged in some activity,
engaged in some activity,
123
350708
4768
主體採取行動對抗客體的某種行為。
06:07
so that "White Woman Calls Police
On Eight-Year-Old Black Girl"
On Eight-Year-Old Black Girl"
124
355500
4101
所以「白人女子報警舉報
八歲黑人女孩賣水」，
八歲黑人女孩賣水」，
和「白人男子報警舉報黑人女子
使用社區水池」一樣，
使用社區水池」一樣，
06:11
is the same as "White Man Calls Police
On Black Woman Using Neighborhood Pool"
On Black Woman Using Neighborhood Pool"
125
359625
4518
和「女子報警舉報俄勒岡州
黑人立法者參加區內競選」一樣。
黑人立法者參加區內競選」一樣。
06:16
is the same as "Woman Calls Cops
On Black Oregon Lawmaker
On Black Oregon Lawmaker
126
364167
3434
06:19
Campaigning In Her District."
127
367625
2542
06:22
They're the same.
128
370833
1250
它們是一樣的。
06:25
Diagramming the sentences
allowed me to diagram the white supremacy
allowed me to diagram the white supremacy
129
373000
4184
分析這些句子讓我
看到了白人至上主義，
看到了白人至上主義，
06:29
which allowed such sentences to be true,
130
377208
1935
就是這些事件的元兇。
06:31
and I will pause to define my terms.
131
379167
2892
但我先來說明這個詞的定義。
06:34
When I say "white supremacy,"
132
382083
1476
我說的「白人至上主義者」，
我不是僅僅指納粹，
06:35
I'm not just talking about Nazis
133
383583
2518
或者白人權利活動家。
06:38
or white power activists,
134
386125
1893
但我也絕不是指
所有白人都是種族歧視者。
所有白人都是種族歧視者。
06:40
and I'm definitely not saying
that all white people are racist.
that all white people are racist.
135
388042
4601
它指的是，
06:44
What I'm referring to
136
392667
1476
「在社會、經濟和政治領域
06:46
is a system of structural advantage
that favors white people over others
that favors white people over others
137
394167
5351
傾向白人而非其他人種的結構體系」。
06:51
in social, economic and political arenas.
138
399542
2684
06:54
It's what Bryan Stevenson
at the Equal Justice Initiative
at the Equal Justice Initiative
139
402250
3268
這正是布萊恩·史蒂文森
在平等司法倡議中，
在平等司法倡議中，
06:57
calls the narrative of racial difference,
140
405542
2809
稱之為「種族差異的敘述」。
這也是我們對奴隸制度、
種族隔離和大規模監禁等時，
種族隔離和大規模監禁等時，
07:00
the story we told ourselves
to justify slavery and Jim Crow
to justify slavery and Jim Crow
141
408375
4601
07:05
and mass incarceration and beyond.
142
413000
2643
安慰自己的話。
07:07
So when I saw this pattern repeating,
143
415667
3226
所以當我看到這個模式反覆出現時，
07:10
I got angry,
144
418917
1809
我非常憤怒，
07:12
but I also got inspired
145
420750
2559
但我也得到了靈感，
去創造一個遊戲。
07:15
to create a game,
146
423333
1893
用這個文字遊戲
07:17
a game of words that would allow me
to transform this traumatic exposure
to transform this traumatic exposure
147
425250
5351
讓我將創傷化為治癒。
07:22
into more of a healing experience.
148
430625
2934
07:25
I'm going to talk you through the game.
149
433583
2101
我來介紹一下這個遊戲，
07:27
The first level is a training level,
and I need your participation.
and I need your participation.
150
435708
3726
首先是練習，我需要你們的參與。
07:31
Our objective: to determine
if this is real or fake.
if this is real or fake.
151
439458
3518
目標是：判斷真假，
07:35
Did this happen or not?
152
443000
1601
確認這件事是否發生。
07:36
Here is the example:
153
444625
1351
舉個例子：
07:38
"Catholic University Law Librarian
Calls Police On Student
Calls Police On Student
154
446000
4059
「天主教大學法律圖書館的管理員
07:42
For 'Being Argumentative.'"
155
450083
2268
報警舉報學生在館內辯論」。
07:44
Clap your hands if you think this is real.
156
452375
2226
覺得是真的，請鼓掌。
07:46
(Applause)
157
454625
3309
（掌聲）
07:49
Clap your hands if you think this is fake.
158
457958
2310
覺得是假的，請鼓掌。
07:52
(Applause)
159
460292
3226
（掌聲）
07:55
The reals have it, unfortunately,
160
463542
2767
很不幸，這是真的。
07:58
and a point of information,
161
466333
2185
但關鍵是，
08:00
being argumentative in a law library
162
468542
2392
在法律圖書館辯論，
08:02
is the exact right place to do that.
163
470958
2101
正是在對的地方做對的事啊。
08:05
(Laughter)
164
473083
1101
（笑聲）
08:06
This student should be
promoted to professor.
promoted to professor.
165
474208
2125
這個學生應該被提拔做教授。
08:09
Training level complete,
so we move on to the real levels.
so we move on to the real levels.
166
477167
3351
練習完成，我們要進入真正的關卡。
08:12
Level one, our objective is simple:
167
480542
2601
第一關，目標很簡單，
08:15
reverse the roles.
168
483167
1976
「角色反轉」。
08:17
That means "Woman Calls Cops
On Black Oregon Lawmaker"
On Black Oregon Lawmaker"
169
485167
3101
也就是「女子報警舉報
俄勒岡州黑人立法者」，
俄勒岡州黑人立法者」，
08:20
becomes "Black Oregon Lawmaker
Calls Cops On Woman."
Calls Cops On Woman."
170
488292
3892
變成「俄勒岡州黑人立法者
報警舉報一女子」。
報警舉報一女子」。
08:24
That means "White Man
Calls Police On Black Woman
Calls Police On Black Woman
171
492208
2643
「白人男子報警舉報
黑人女子使用社區游泳池」，
黑人女子使用社區游泳池」，
08:26
Using Neighborhood Pool"
172
494875
1601
08:28
becomes "Black Woman Calls Police
On White Man Using Neighborhood Pool."
On White Man Using Neighborhood Pool."
173
496500
4643
變成「黑人女子報警舉報
白人男子使用社區游泳池」。
白人男子使用社區游泳池」。
08:33
How do you like
them reverse racist apples?
them reverse racist apples?
174
501167
2041
種族的角色反轉，感覺如何？
08:36
That's it, level one complete,
175
504625
2476
好了，第一關完成，
08:39
and so we level up to level two,
176
507125
2768
晉級到第二關。
08:41
where our objective is to increase
the believability of the reversal.
the believability of the reversal.
177
509917
4434
目標是「增加角色反轉的可信度」。
08:46
Let's face it, a black woman
calling police on a white man using a pool
calling police on a white man using a pool
178
514375
3333
承認吧，「黑人女子舉報
白人男子使用社區游泳池」
白人男子使用社區游泳池」
08:49
isn't absurd enough,
179
517732
1911
不夠荒謬。
08:51
but what if that white man was trying
to touch her hair without asking,
to touch her hair without asking,
180
519667
3750
如果是白人男子
未經同意碰她的頭髮呢？
未經同意碰她的頭髮呢？
08:56
or maybe he was making oat milk
while riding a unicycle,
while riding a unicycle,
181
524917
3916
或者是他邊做燕麥奶
邊騎獨輪車？
邊騎獨輪車？
09:02
or maybe he's just talking
over everyone in a meeting.
over everyone in a meeting.
182
530417
2892
或者是他在會議上搶大家的話呢？
09:05
(Laughter)
183
533333
1185
（笑聲）
09:06
We've all been there, right?
184
534542
2017
我們都幹過這事，對吧？
09:08
Seriously, we've all been there.
185
536583
1584
說真的，我們都做過這些事。
09:11
So that's it, level two complete.
186
539917
2976
就這樣，第二關完成。
09:14
But it comes with a warning:
187
542917
2059
但這裡有一個警告：
09:17
simply reversing the flow
of injustice is not justice.
of injustice is not justice.
188
545000
4809
調轉不公平的矛頭
並不是公平的做法。
並不是公平的做法。
09:21
That is vengeance,
that is not our mission,
that is not our mission,
189
549833
2143
那是復仇，那不是我們的任務，
09:24
that's a different game
so we level up to level three,
so we level up to level three,
190
552000
4393
那是不同的遊戲。
我們來到第三關，
09:28
where the objective
is to change the action,
is to change the action,
191
556417
3059
目標是：「改變行動」，
09:31
also known as "calling the police
is not your only option
is not your only option
192
559500
3518
也叫做「叫警察不是唯一的選擇，
09:35
OMG, what is wrong with you people!"
193
563042
1726
老天爺，你們這些人到底怎麼了！」
09:36
(Applause)
194
564792
1434
（掌聲）
09:38
And I need to pause the game
to remind us of the structure.
to remind us of the structure.
195
566250
4268
我們先停下來
回憶一下句子結構：
回憶一下句子結構：
09:42
A subject takes an action
against a target engaged in some activity.
against a target engaged in some activity.
196
570542
4851
主體採取行動對抗客體的某種行為。
09:47

10:03
In all these cases,
the subject is usually white,
the subject is usually white,
202
591667

所有這些事件中，
「主體」一般是白人，
10:07
the target is usually black,

「客體」一般是黑人，

「行為」是所有任何行為，----
10:11
from sitting in a Starbucks
205
599917
2642
從「坐在星巴克」，
10:14
to using the wrong type of barbecue
206
602583
2435
到「使用錯誤的燒烤工具」，
10:17
to napping
207
605042
1351
到「打盹」，
10:18
to walking "agitated" on the way to work,
208
606417
3226
到「『激動地』走去上班」。
10:21
which I just call "walking to work."
209
609667
2351
後者我覺得就只是「走去上班」啊。
10:24
(Laughter)
210
612042
1559
（笑聲）
10:25
And, my personal favorite,
211
613625
2059
以及，我個人最喜歡的——
10:27
not stopping his dog from humping her dog,
212
615708
3976
「沒有阻止他家的狗與她的狗交配」。
10:31
which is clearly a case for dog police,
213
619708
2601
這顯然是狗警察的事，
10:34
not people police.
214
622333
1625
不是人類警察的事。
10:36
All of these activities add up to living.
215
624625
4125
所有這些行為加起來，
就是日常生活。
就是日常生活。
10:42
Our existence is being
interpreted as crime.
interpreted as crime.
216
630292
4809
我們的存在被視為犯罪。
10:47
Now, this is the obligatory moment
in the presentation where I have to say,
in the presentation where I have to say,
217
635125
3809
按照慣例，我要申明，
10:50
not everything is about race.
218
638958
2268
不是什麼都和種族有關。
10:53
Crime is a thing, should be reported,
219
641250
2559
犯罪行為應該被舉報。
10:55
but ask yourself, do we need armed men
to show up and resolve this situation,
to show up and resolve this situation,
220
643833
5976
但問問你們自己，
真的需要有人全副武裝
出面處理這種事情嗎？
出面處理這種事情嗎？
11:01
because when they show up for me,
221
649833
2518
因為當他們因為我而出現，
11:04
it's different.
222
652375
1292
事情就不一樣了。
11:06
We know that police officers
223
654417
2476
我們知道相較於白人，
11:08
use force more with black people
than with white people,
than with white people,
224
656917
4434
警察更頻繁對黑人使用武力，
11:13
and we are learning
the role of 911 calls in this.
the role of 911 calls in this.
225
661375
3643
我們也發現報警所扮演的角色。
11:17
Thanks to preliminary research
from the Center for Policing Equity,
from the Center for Policing Equity,
226
665042
3601
根據警務公平中心的初步統計，
11:20
we're learning that in some cities,
227
668667
1726
顯示在一些城市，
11:22
most of the interactions
between cops and citizens
between cops and citizens
228
670417
2601
大多數的警民接觸，
11:25
is due to 911 calls,
229
673042
1809
是由於民衆報警，
11:26
not officer-initiated stops,
230
674875
2059
而不是警方主動出面；
11:28
and most of the violence,
the use of force by police on citizens,
the use of force by police on citizens,
231
676958
3893
而大部分警方對平民動用的武力，
11:32
is in response to those calls.
232
680875
2184
都由報警電話而起。
11:35
Further, when those officers
responding to calls use force,
responding to calls use force,
233
683083

此外，當某地區的白人比例上升，
11:39
that increases in areas
234
687250
2351
該地區的警察使用武力的頻率，
也會隨之增加。
也會隨之增加。
11:41
where the percentage
of the white population
of the white population
235
689625

11:43
has also increased,
236
691750

11:45
aka gentrification,
237
693083
2060
這也稱為「城市紳士化」，
11:47
aka unicycles and oat milk,
238
695167
2892
或是「獨輪車和燕麥奶」，
11:50
aka when BBQ Becky feels threatened,
239
698083
2893
或是當燒烤帕蒂感覺受到威脅時，
她就在我的社群對我造成了威脅。
11:53
she becomes a threat to me
in my own neighborhood,
in my own neighborhood,
240
701000

11:57
which forces me and people like me

705333

所有像我這樣的人，
11:59
to police ourselves.
242
707667
2017
都被迫監管著自己。
12:01
We quiet ourselves, we walk on eggshells,
243
709708
3018
我們小聲說話，小心行走，
12:04
we maybe pull over to the side of the road
244
712750
2684
我們在最亮的路燈下停車，
12:07
under the brightest light we can find
245
715458
1976
12:09
so that our murder
246
717458
1851
這樣我們的死亡，
12:11
might be caught cleanly on camera,
247
719333
2893
能在監控攝影機下清楚一點。
12:14
and we do this because we live in a system
248
722250
2976
我們之所以這樣做，
是因為我們生存的體系下，
是因為我們生存的體系下，
12:17
in which white people
can too easily call on deadly force
can too easily call on deadly force
249
725250

白人可以輕易呼叫致命武器，
12:21
to ensure their comfort.
250

12:39
They essentially called in a drone strike.
255
747625
2792
甚至還有無人機。
12:43
This is weaponized discomfort,
256
751125
3434
這是武裝化的不適感，
12:46
and it is not new.
257
754583

而這已不是新聞了。

From 1877 to 1950,

13:18
We need to change the action,

2351
我們需要改變行動——
13:20
whether that action is "lynches"

788792
1851
不論是「私刑」，
13:22
or "calls police."

let's get back to our game,

So what if, instead of
274
802042
1809
不如我們將
13:35
"Calls Cops On Black Woman
Donating Food To Homeless,"
Donating Food To Homeless,"
275
803875
2934
「報警舉報黑人女子捐食物給流浪漢」，
13:38
that California Safeway simply thanks her.
276
806833
2584
改變成「加州西夫韋超市對她表示感謝」。
13:42
Thanking is far cheaper than bringing
law enforcement to the scene.
law enforcement to the scene.
277
810500
3226
這種情況說謝謝
比叫執法人員要便宜得多。
比叫執法人員要便宜得多。
13:45
(Applause)
278
813750
1268
（掌聲）
13:47
Or, instead,
279
815042
2392
或者改成，
13:49
they could give the food
they would have wasted to her,
they would have wasted to her,
280
817458
2601
「將本會浪費的食物送給她」
13:52
upped their civic cred.
281
820083
1750
來提升超市的公民信譽。
13:54
Or, the white woman who called the police
on the eight-year-old black girl,
on the eight-year-old black girl,
282
822708
3560
或者，那個報警舉報
八歲黑人女孩的白人女子，
八歲黑人女孩的白人女子，
13:58
she could have bought all the inventory
from that little black girl,
from that little black girl,
283
826292
3392
她可以買下小女孩的所有商品，
14:01
support a small business.
284
829708
2185
照顧小本經營的生意。
14:03
And the white woman who called the police
on the black real estate investor,
on the black real estate investor,
285
831917
3601
那個舉報黑人
房地產投資者的白人女子，
房地產投資者的白人女子，
14:07
we would all be better off,
the cops agree,
the cops agree,
286
835542
2059
我們大家都好過點，
並且警察也同意，
並且警察也同意，
14:09
if she had simply ignored him
and minded her own damn business.
and minded her own damn business.
287
837625
2976
她可以選擇忽視他
並管好自己的破事。
並管好自己的破事。
14:12
(Laughter)
288
840625
1559
（笑聲）
14:14
Minding one's own damn business
is an excellent choice, excellent choice.
is an excellent choice, excellent choice.
289
842208
4435
管好自己的事是最棒的選擇，
最棒的選擇，
最棒的選擇，
14:18
Choose it more often.
290
846667
1809
應該多做。
14:20
Level three is complete,
but there is a final bonus level,
but there is a final bonus level,
291
848500
4601
第三關完成，
但還有一個獎勵關，
但還有一個獎勵關，
14:25
where the objective is inclusion.
292
853125
2768
這關的目標是「包容」。
14:27
We have also seen headlines like this:
293
855917
2476
我們也見過這樣的標題：
14:30
"Powerful Man Masturbates
In Front Of Young Women
In Front Of Young Women
294
858417
2976
「強壯男子在年輕女子
造訪其辦公室時，
造訪其辦公室時，
14:33
Visiting His Office."
295
861417
1375
在她面前手淫」。
14:35
What an odd choice
for powerful man to make.
for powerful man to make.
296
863542
3767
這個強壯男子的選擇太奇怪了吧！
14:39
So many other actions available to him.
297
867333
2893
他有太多其他動作可做。
14:42
(Laughter)
298
870250
1018
（笑聲）
14:43
Like, such as, "listens to,"
299
871292
3642
比如說「傾聽」，
14:46
"mentors,"
300
874958
1268
或「指導」，
14:48
"inspired by, starts joint venture,
everybody rich now."
everybody rich now."
301
876250
4268
「被鼓舞並創辦合資企業
然後大家都富裕了」。
14:52
(Laughter)
302
880542
1267
（笑聲）
14:53
I want to live in that world
of everybody rich now,
of everybody rich now,
303
881833
2435
我希望生活在大家都富裕的世界，
14:56
but because of his poor choice,
we are all in a poorer world.
we are all in a poorer world.
304
884292
3916
但因為他的糟糕選擇，
我們都活在更貧窮的世界，
我們都活在更貧窮的世界，
15:01
Doesn't have to be this way.
305
889125
1934
但不應如此。
15:03
This word game reminded me that
there is a structure to white supremacy,
there is a structure to white supremacy,
306
891083
4560
這個文字遊戲提醒了我，
白人至上主義有著固定的結構，
白人至上主義有著固定的結構，
15:07
as there is to misogyny,
307
895667
1601
女性歧視也有，
15:09
as there is to all
systemic abuses of power.
systemic abuses of power.
308
897292
3351
所有的系統性的權利濫用都有。
15:12
Structure is what makes them systemic.
309
900667
2958
結構導致了系統化。
15:17
I'm asking people here
310
905083
1935
我請求在座的各位，
15:19
to see the structure,
311
907042
2059
看清這些結構，
15:21
where the power is in it,
312
909125
2393
看清隱藏其中的權力。
15:23
and even more importantly
to see the humanity
to see the humanity
313
911542
3351
更重要的是，
看清我們之中因這些結構
15:26
of those of us made targets
by this structure.
by this structure.
314
914917
3458
而遭受攻擊者的人性。
15:31
I am here because I was loved
and invested in and protected and lucky,
and invested in and protected and lucky,
315
919042
6142
我能站在這裡，
因為我是被愛的，且獲得資源、
受到保護，非常幸運。
15:37
because I went to the right schools,
I'm semifamous, mostly happy,
I'm semifamous, mostly happy,
316
925208
3143
因為我上了好學校，
我小有名氣，生活愉悅，
15:40
meditate twice a day,
317
928375
1768
每天冥想兩次。
15:42
and yet,
318
930167
1809
然而，
15:44
I walk around in fear,
319
932000
2393
我生活在恐懼中，
15:46
because I know that someone
seeing me as a threat
seeing me as a threat
320
934417
4434
因為我知道視我為威脅的人，
15:50
can become a threat to my life,
321
938875
2476
可能成為我生命的威脅。
15:53
and I am tired.
322
941375
1667
而我累了。
15:56
I am tired of carrying
323
944000
1434
我疲於承受別人的恐懼
給予的無形負擔。
給予的無形負擔。
15:57
this invisible burden
of other people's fears,
of other people's fears,
324
945458
3851
16:01
and many of us are,
325
949333
2060
我們當中許多人都累了。
16:03
and we shouldn't have to,
326
951417
2184
但我們不需如此。
16:05
because we can change this,
327
953625
2893
因為我們可以改變，
16:08
because we can change the action,
which changes the story,
which changes the story,
328
956542
4517
我們可以改變行動，
從而改變故事，
16:13
which changes the system
329
961083
2042
從而改變那些
允許故事發生的體系。
允許故事發生的體系。
16:16
that allows those stories to happen.
330
964292
1851
16:18
Systems are just collective
stories we all buy into.
stories we all buy into.
331
966167
3916
體系只是我們相信的故事的彙集。
16:23
When we change them,
332
971083
2143
當我們改變了這些，
16:25
we write a better reality
for us all to be a part of.
for us all to be a part of.
333
973250
4518
我們就書寫了我們共同的未來。
16:29
I am asking us
334
977792
2101
我請求你們，
16:31
to use our power to choose.
335
979917
2476
使用自己的力量去選擇。
16:34
I am asking us to level up.
