巴马夫妇对人们搬家到好学区，形成新式种族隔离深感不安，可惜总统也管不了这些。
只有靠新一代更加努力对racism作斗争了。
Michelle Obama tells senior high-schoolers to monitor families for racism
First lady Michelle Obama said during senior recognition remarks at a high
school in Topeka, Kansas, last weekend that students ought to monitor their
friends and family members for racist and discriminatory statements and
attitudes, and issue corrections to those who are found guilty.
After all, the federal government can only do so much, she said, The Blaze
reported,
"[O]ur laws may no longer separate us based on our skin color, but nothing
in the Constitution says we have to eat together in the lunchroom, or live
together in the same neighborhoods," she said in prepared remarks that were
just released. "There's no court case against believing in stereotypes or
thinking that certain kinds of hateful jokes or comments are funny."
To fill this void, students ought to push to "drag my generation and your
grandparents' generation along with you" to counter racism, she said, The
Blaze reported.
She went on: "Maybe that starts simply in your own family, when grandpa
tells that off-colored joke at Thanksgiving, or you've got an aunt [who]
talks about 'those people.' Well, you can politely inform them that they're
talking about your friends."
Mrs. Obama suggested the same for the students who head off to college —
that they should push for more racial tolerance and diversity in their
intended sororities or fraternities, The Blaze reported.
"Or maybe it's years from now, when you're on the job, and you're the one
who asks, do we really have all the voices and viewpoints we need at this
table? But no matter what you do," she said, "the point is to never be
afraid to talk about these issues, particularly the issue of race."
Mrs. Obama also said that while schools nowadays are more integrated than
they were a few decades ago, segregation is again rearing its head as a
problem due to family relocations and moves.
"So today, by some measures, our schools are as segregated as they were back
when Dr. King gave his final speech," she said, The Blaze reported. |
