铮铮铁骨不可辱,声声强音冲九霄。前天和昨天两日,美国二十多个城市地区联合举行大游行,强烈谴责和抗议ABC美国广播公司吉米儿童圆桌秀的辱华暴力言论。不能容忍了!不再沉默了!圣迭戈民众反歧视反凌辱,反宣扬暴力及灌输暴力的儿童节目抗议高潮到了沸点,昨天11月9日第二次游行发出的声浪更高涨猛烈,声势更浩大。组织者将第二次大游行地点挪到了该市的中心:游行民众先在美国著名民权运动领袖马丁路德金纪念公园(Martin Luther King Jr. Promenade Park)大草坪集中,出发经过圣迭戈国际会议中心(San Diego Convertion Center)正门,过天桥绕道沿海边行至Seaport Village,穿过Ruocco Park,到航母博物馆,然后经 San Diego NSC Broadway Compound,最后回到原集中点,沿途引来无数路人游客驻足,无数双关注的目光投向游行队伍。
I am here with my 10 year old son. Together, we want to say, thank you, thank you all for coming to support this important cause to protect our own rights, and to protect our children’s rights! Son, Mommy wants to tell you why I’m here today, and why all the uncles and aunties are here today. We are here to make sure that all of you young people would have a better future.
Today, on November 9, 2013, tens of thousands of people are rallying across America to protest racism against Chinese American, Asian American or to any Americans. Boys and girls, • Don’t allow people to call you Chinks or Chinaman! • Don’t allow people to mock you “Ching, Ding, Dong”! • Don’t allow people to call you second-class citizens! • And do not allow people to tell you to “Go back to China!” Tell them, you are proud of your Chinese heritage, and you are as American as all the rest of your classmates. This is their land, and this is YOUR land too. • When people joke about “killing all Chinese”, you don’t laugh! Your grandma and grandpa live in China. • When people joke about “killing all Chinese”, don’t laugh! Less than a hundred years ago, Japanese Americans were sent to Internment camp when other fellow Americans thought that they were foreigners. •
When people joke about “killing all Chinese”, you step out and tell them that this is not funny. Four times as many Chinese died during World War II as Jewish did. Son, Mom is proud of you because you are nice, kind, and peaceful. Yet, that does not mean that you should be picked on and be bullied. You too deserve dignity and self-respect.
Today, I want to tell all the boys and girls here:Be strong and courageous! Stand up and have the brave talks when you hear the inner voice that something is not right! Remember, you have my back, you have everyone’s back here. Together, we shall overcome!
张先生(圣迭戈第二次游行组织召集人)演讲全文
Today, we come here together, at Martin Luther King Promenade Park, to protest against ABC’s spreading of violence and racial hatred teaching.
I’m a father of two daughters. We try very hard to shield them from harm. Yet Mr. Kimmel’s Kids table show encouraged “killing Chinese”! What values are Public Media showing our kids? Don’t we already have too much campus violence, bullying, and shooting?
Mr. Kimmel’s so-called apology was “today is a weird day…I am sorry if I offended anyone…I was just telling a joke.” In the letter to 80-20, ABC still claims “it only entertains”. Since when did “Killing” become a “joke“? Why is joking about killing Chinese so entertaining?
Last Saturday when we had a rally at Balboa Park, one pedestrian asked us:“Why Chinese?” Yes, why Chinese.
30 years ago, Vincent Chin, a Chinese American engineer in Detroit like many of us was walking on a street. Then he was mistaken as Japanese and was batted to death by unemployed auto worker.
Why Vincent Chin? Why Chinese?
Is that too distant a past? Just 8 days ago, at Otay Ranch High
School in San Diego the 16-year-old Steven Liu took his own life after being bullied. His friend said “People took advantage of him…because he’s a really nice guy”.
Why Steven Liu? Why Chinese? Actually, they are not even Chinese, they are Chinese AMERICAN. We Chinese American are also part of America and are proud of our cultural heritage.
I’d like to quote what Joan Baez said at Feb 9, 2010 White House performance:“One day, Dr. King realized that the non-violence fight went well beyond the shores of this great country, went far across the sea to a war that was being fought by God’s children on both sides of that great fight. And he knew that he had to speak out against that. And he was afraid. He was very afraid. So we all raised our voices just a little bit louder, and we said:‘We are not afraid today’.”
So my friends, we stand together today. We walk hand in hand today. We also raised our voices just a little bit louder today. We can also say, “We are not afraid today!”
So let’s stand together! Let’s stand up for ourselves! Let’s stand up for our children! Let’s stand up for our future generations!
Jews are successful in Us partially because of the relation between the christianity and the Judaism. Most christians are for the Jews although not the other way around.
