多年来,迈克尔.乔丹作为世界上最著名的明显富裕和强大的运动员之一,被那些希望他利用自己强大的公众形象和影响力说出来就影响非洲裔美国人社区的社会问题的人大加批评。多年来,这位球场上的六次NBA总冠军、篮球传奇人物的成功故事已经被“共和党人也买运动鞋”这个非引用词组所抵消 - 常常被用来调侃乔丹在成为公众人物后未能“利用他所拥有的作为全国整个20世纪90年代最具代表性的运动员影响力“。

For years Michael Jordan has taken criticism from those who’d wished one of the most famous visible wealthy and powerful athletes in the world would use his considerable public profile and influence to speak out on social issues affecting the African American community. For years the six-time NBA champion and basketball legend’s legacy of on-court success has been counterbalanced by four non-quoted words — “Republicans buy sneakers too” — often used to call Jordan onto the carpet for failing “to embrace the leverage he possessed as the nation’s most iconic athlete across the 1990s.”

In an essay for The Undefeated published Monday the 53-year-old Jordan makes his voice heard in the wake of the recent unrest in the country following the police killing of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge La. the police killing of Philando Castile in Falcon Heights Minn. the killing of five police officers by a lone gunman at an otherwise peaceful Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas the police shooting of North Miami behavioral therapist Charles Kinsey as he lay on his back with his hands thrust in the air trying to coax an autistic patient back into a mental health center and all the protests and demonstrations that have followed.
在周一公布的一篇关于这位不败之神的文章中, 53岁的乔丹针对近来一系列的警察与黑人之间的一系列冲突在及随之而来在全国引发的动荡不安表达了看法。这些导致大规模抗议及冲突的事件包括洛杉矶巴吞鲁日警方枪杀奥尔顿.斯图林、明尼苏达州猎鹰高地警察枪杀菲兰多·卡斯蒂利亚、达拉斯的5名警察被一个原本温顺但因不满北迈阿密行为治疗师查尔斯·金赛被警察射击(当时此治疗师躺在地上,他的双手在空中挥动试图哄一个自闭症病人走回一个精神卫生中心)的黑人抗议者独自持枪杀死

With persistent issues of racism violence against African Americans police brutality and gun violence coming to the forefront for many NBA and WNBA players of late Jordan decided that “as a proud American a father who lost his own dad in a senseless act of violence and a black man […] deeply troubled” by the deaths on both sides of the divide the time was now for him to speak and to act:
随着持续发生针对美国黑人的警方暴行以及枪支暴力问题不断浮出水面,乔丹这位前NBA和WNBA球员对双方的死亡以及巨大分歧“作为一个自豪的美国人、一个父亲同时也经历过自己的父亲在一场愚蠢的暴力行为丧生...深感不安”,他决定现在是时候他开始讲话以及采取行动了。
“I was raised by parents who taught me to love and respect people regardless of their race or background so I am saddened and frustrated by the divisive rhetoric and racial tensions that seem to be getting worse as of late. I know this country is better than that and I can no longer stay silent. We need to find solutions that ensure people of color receive fair and equal treatment AND that police officers — who put their lives on the line every day to protect us all — are respected and supported.
“抚养我长大成人的父母教会我无论对方的种族和背景要爱和尊重其它人,因此我对近来恶化的分裂言论和种族紧张关系很难过并深感挫折。我知道这个国家本应更美好,我无法再保持沉默。我们需要找到解决方案,确保有色人种得到公平和平等的待遇,以及确保每天冒着生命危险保护我们所有人的警务人员得到尊重和支持。”

“Over the past three decades I have seen up close the dedication of the law enforcement officers who protect me and my family. I have the greatest respect for their sacrifice and service. I also recognize that for many people of color their experiences with law enforcement have been different than mine. I have decided to speak out in the hope that we can come together as Americans and through peaceful dialogue and education achieve constructive change.
“在过去的三十年里我已经近距离看到了保护我和我的家人执法人员的奉献精神。我对他们的牺牲和服务持最大的尊重。我也承认,对于很多有色人种,他们所经历的执法与我不同。我已经决定大声说出希望我们作为美国人能走到一起,通过和平对话和教育实现建设性变革”。

“To support that effort I am making contributions of $1 million each to two organizations the International Association of Chiefs of Police’s newly established Institute for Community-Police Relations and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. The Institute for Community-Police Relations’ policy and oversight work is focused on building trust and promoting best practices in community policing. My donation to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund the nation’s oldest civil rights law organization will support its ongoing work in support of reforms that will build trust and respect between communities and law enforcement. Although I know these contributions alone are not enough to solve the problem I hope the resources will help both organizations make a positive difference.”
“为了支持这项工作,我捐出2个100万,分别给国际警察首长协会新成立的警民关系学院以及全国有色人种促进协会的法律辩护基金。警民关系学院的方针以及以及监督工作的重点是建立信任和推广最佳社会治安实践。我捐款给的全国有色人种促进协会是国家最古老的民权法组织,它将支持其一贯进行的支持改革,建立社区和执法之间的信任和尊重工作。虽然我知道这些捐款本身不足以解决这些问题,我所希望这些捐款将帮助这些组织做出一些积极的改善。”

With precious few exceptions the run away majority of people shot by police were both criminals and had it coming. But this number shot by police pales in comparison to the numbers of people shot and killed by violent criminal Blacks. Far more of those Black victims were actual innocents as compared to police shootings. The Black community in the U.S. can cry whine and #$%$ about racism all day long but none of it will changed the fact that the biggest racists in America today are Blacks and the the people who kill the most Blacks today both guilty and innocent are other Blacks. I'll conclude these facts with two more. Jordan was overrated and that his better was and always will be Larry Bird on the basketball court.
绝大多数被警察射击的逃跑的成年人都是罪犯,现在有了几个宝贵的例外。但是,这个被警察枪杀的数字相比被黑人犯罪分子杀害的数字简直大巫见小巫。比起警察所杀死的黑人,黑人犯罪分子所杀死的黑人更多是无辜的。在美国,黑人团体可以整天哭诉和抱怨种族主义歧视,但是不能改变以下事实:在当今美国黑人是最大的种族主义者以及杀死最多的黑人(无论他们有罪还是无辜)的正是黑人。我会总结更多的两个事实。乔丹被高估了,在蓝球场上拉里·伯德过去是并将永远是比乔丹更优秀。

I lived in a mostly black neighborhood for about 15 years. The 4 houses next to mine and the three across from me all had live in boyfriends some smoking pot around young black and Hispanic kids. None went to work and all lived off the kids moms money and food stamps. The most successful families were Asian and one successful Hispanic family who were devout Catholics. Asians establish businesses and use family members(immediate and cousins uncles aunts) and they all get along whereas blacks can't work it out mostly fighting each other. I think black lives have been destroyed by many years of bad policies by Democrats in mostly large cities in America($50 extra for each child born out of wedlock and no father was supposed to be in the house). Democrats are evil-now the new policy in about 300 cities is to declare them sanctuary cities for illegals-lawlessness and teaching immorality by breaking laws of the US.
我在一个几乎是黑人的社区住了15年。我家边上的四个家庭,还有我对面的三个家庭中,都是和男友同居的。他们中有一些黑人青年和西班牙裔的小鬼头在抽大麻。他们不工作,通过啃老和食品救济劵生活。混得最好的家庭都是亚裔,其次是一些虔诚信奉天主教的西班牙裔。亚裔们创业,并雇佣自己的家族成员(直系亲属和表亲),他们相处地非常融洽。反观那些黑人,他们就处理不好这些,还总是互相争斗。我想黑人已经在民主党糟糕的政策下被惯坏了(对单亲妈妈来说,每一个非婚生子都可以带来额外50刀的补贴)。民主党简直就是罪恶化身——在他们的新政策里,将大约300座城市定义为非法移民的“避难城市”——这里不受法律制约,通过违反联邦法律来把人们教育成不道德的家伙。

He means well but giving money to lawyers is a waste. Money is not going to solve the issues. It is the lack of respect for other humans that is the cause. I grew up in Gary IN - white woman and my father had a business in Gary for many years and we were taught to respect everyone.
他的本意是好的,但是给钱给律师完全是浪费。金钱不能解决这些问题,这是由于对其他人缺乏尊重造成的。我出生在印第安纳州的盖里,多年来白人妇女和我父亲在盖里从事贸易,在那里我们学会尊重每一个人。
Gun control issue he carried a gun to work every day and when he came home he put it on the fireplace in the living room and there were 6 kids in our family and friends over all the time and no one touched that gun.
关于枪支管理,他每天带着枪去上班,当他回家就把枪放在起居室的壁炉上。我们及朋友家在那段时间一共有6个小孩,但是没有人去碰那把枪。
My brother is a retired police officer from NW Indiana and I am glad he retired. A officer was shot (black) in his patrol car after getting a DV call and an hour later a person in the neighborhood call 911 and reported he hadn't moved in an hour and they should send someone to check it out.
我哥哥是西北印第安纳州一名退休警官,我很高兴他退休。一个黑人警察在接到一个DV电话后被枪杀在他的巡逻车里,一小时后附近的人拨打911并报告他在一个小时内没有移动,他们应该派人去看看。

I love how people are defending the lives of these criminals. These repeat offenders not based on the type of people they were or as to their character but solely on their skin color. They were all resistant in the moment carrying a weapon and breaking the law. You are fighting for criminals . CRIMINALS! thats not to say I agree with any type of police brutality or intimidation but we arent talking about innocent law abiding citizens here. It was so easy to make this about race though. Pathetic.
人们竟然去捍卫这些罪犯的生命。这些惯犯不是基于他们的类型或依据他们的性格,而仅仅依据他们的肤色。他们都在携带武器顽抗并且违法。你正在为犯罪分子而战斗,犯罪分子!那不是说我赞成任何类型的警察暴力或恐吓,但我们的不是在这里谈论无辜的守法公民。虽然这很容易联系到种族歧视。真可悲。

It is because too many children grew up without fathers to lead them show them life love them and guide them. Too many single mothers raising children and also the government taking away punishment from the parents. It is the same across any ethnic groups not just blacks. These are the big reasons why we have too many criminals. Train a child when he is small spank him you will not kill him...the Holy Bible tells us this. Police officers are so overwhelmed. I can not say or blame the police officers it is the fatherless child that grew up without direction and love.
这是因为太多的孩子没有父亲,在他们成长的过程中,没人向他们表示关爱并引导他们。太多的单亲妈妈抚养孩子,还有政府禁止父母惩罚孩子。这在所有种族中都是一样的,不只是黑人。这就是我们有如此多罪犯的重要原因。在孩子小的时候好好教育他,你可以揍他但不会杀了他……这是圣经告诉我们的。警察是如此地不堪重负。我不能指责警察,罪犯只是个在成长过程中缺乏引导和父爱的孩子。

I have respect for Jordan he could say anything but back in the early 2000's when asked about racial inequality he stated that for many years worked for a white coach played for a team owned by a white man in a professional sports league that was ran by white men. He said he felt like he was owned by white men white men who paid him millions of dollars and gave him the opportunity an opportunity that he couldn't of found on his own. He was speaking in front of a large audience of young African Americans. He knows that everyone deserves to be heard yet understands that there has to bee law and order.
我尊重乔丹,他可以说他想说的任何话。当时回到21世纪初,当他被问及到种族平等问题的时候,他宣称过去多年来他为一个白人教练工作、效力于一个白人拥有的职业体育联盟。他说他觉得自己被那些付他百万美金以及给他机会的白人所拥有,而靠他自己他是无法拥有这样的机会的。他当时在大量年轻非裔美国人面前讲的这番话。他知道每个人都应该有权发表自己的看法,但是他又明白社会需要有法律和秩序。

I see blacks and whites getting along everyday where I am from I see blacks fighting whites whites fighting blacks blacks fighting blacks and whites fighting whites. It's going to happen but when the media focuses on it and blows it up on one side this is what you get. The only person we need to worry about being non racist is ourself. If each and every one of us could accomplish that one little feat we could fix this in less than 3 seconds. The media is the problem and the people who own them......
在我所在的地方,黑人白人每天相处在一起,我看到黑人与白人,黑人与黑人,白人与白人之间相互的打斗。这些随时会发生,但是当媒体关注到它,并且在一边炒作它,这就会是你所得到的点。我们需要担心成为种族主义者(原文是非族主义,不解)的人只有我们自己。如果我们每个人都能完成这个小壮举,我们可以在三秒内解决这个问题。而媒体和拥有它们的人是问题的所在......

Mike all I can say is; some of these deaths could have been you are some of your family members. Yes it needs to stop. Young Black men and Women have to learn to value life more than money; especially when they did't earn it by the sweat of their brow. If they're not a movie star athlete singer etc; they have to get a job and earn their money and a retirement. Every Black Male can't be a Michael Jordan that generally comes once in a while. They need to learn to be themselves and not no one else.
MIKE 我只能说,这些死的人里面很可能有你的家人。这不能再继续下去。年轻黑人男女必须学会珍爱生命,更甚金钱,特别是付出辛勤劳动后却没获得报酬的时候。如果不是电影明星、运动员、歌手之类的人物,他们就必须去找到一份工作,赚钱,然后退休。通常,不可能每个黑人都成为乔丹,他们要学习成为自己,而不是他人。

This complex problem needs a multi-tiered solution. We need community policing and retraining the police have been disconnected from the people. Criminals have to be called out and the media has to stop glorifying thugs. Remove aggressive officers and lastly give batons back to the police - they need a non deadly tool to keep criminals at bay and under control.That nightstick was the protection that a cop needed so they didn't need to pull their gun. Just a few ideas so don't trash them.
这个复杂的问题需要一个多层次的解决方案。我们需要社区警务和再培训,警察已经脱离人民。必须向公众亮明罪犯的身份,媒体必须停止美化暴徒。把太激进的警察清除出去,最后,给警察配备警棍吧----他们需要一种非致命的工具,让罪犯受控制又无法靠近。警棍可以保护警察,这样他们就不用拔枪了。只是一些不成熟的想法,别拍砖。
