維吉尼亞大學校園內揮之不去的憤怒
出國留學網(wǎng)訊 在飲酒文化過度呈現(xiàn)的維吉尼亞大學校內，黑人學生成了警察無故關注的目標，Johnson的案件讓種族歧視問題的討論更加白熱化，非洲裔學生開始集體抗議，呼吁保障黑人權利，黑人學生遭暴力甚至致命拘捕的現(xiàn)象還會再發(fā)生嗎?
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. — Chanting “black lives matter” and raising their fists, more than 100 African American students walked out of a meeting with law enforcement officials here Friday, as the University of Virginia community expressed growing frustration in the quest for answers about the violent arrest this week of a black student.
100多名維吉尼亞大學的非洲裔學生舉行了抗議游行，讓警方對黑人學生的暴力拘捕行為給個說法，并發(fā)出了保障黑人權利的呼聲。
The officers, with the state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, took the 20-year-old into custody early Wednesday on misdemeanor charges of obstruction of justice and public intoxication after a bouncer refused to let him into Trinity Irish Pub. Images of Johnson went viral through social media and have rocked the prestigious 23,000-student public university. An ABC special agent described Johnson in court documents as “very agitated and belligerent” at the time of the arrest.
警方在周三以妨礙執(zhí)法為由拘捕了一個20歲的黑人學生Johnson, 他被警察暴力對待的形象迅速傳遍網(wǎng)絡并在維吉尼亞大學校內引起了轟動。
But the students who packed Friday’s meeting were irate. And many suggested that the case reflects a pattern of racial bias at U-Va. and elsewhere across the country. It came at a time of heightened awareness of racial profiling and amid widespread criticism of white officers interacting violently, or even lethally, with black men.
參與集會的學生非常憤怒，他們表示這個事件反映了維吉尼亞大學校內甚至是整個美國的種族歧視問題。在白人警察暴力甚至致命地對待黑人的行為受到廣泛指責的社會背景之下，此事件還是發(fā)生了。
Abenezer Eregetie, 20, a sophomore from Northern Virginia who is African American, attended the meeting but did not walk out with the others. He said the demonstration was “pretty bold. They needed to be bold.” Eregetie said the Johnson case has galvanized the campus to confront questions about racial bias. “The bloody face was what triggered all this,” he said. With underage drinking so prevalent in a college town, he said, “police should have better things to do, rather than going and picking on one black guy.”
20歲的非洲裔大二學生Abenezer Ergetie沒能參與集會游行，但他覺得此次抗議是“非常勇敢的，他們需要勇敢起來?！彼J為Johnson的案件已經讓學校直面種族歧視問題，校區(qū)的飲酒問題非常嚴重，但警察最好做出真正有效的措施，不要整天就知道隨便挑個黑人抓抓。
