亲爱的朋友们,

年!20 年前,我满怀理想踏上了这片自由的热土。或许,是因为听了太多的美国之音- T3 M" X) ~* [3 ]6 P
吧。20 年后,我的儿子却与我一道,并肩抗议 ABC 传播种族仇恨和暴力的言论。这幅

1 @( y; Y+ h' i: k+ k

我不了解各位的情况,但过去的 20 天比我所经历的 20 年更加漫长。今天,在场
H% ^; m7 k# ^0 K$ C C9 {; }的各位朋友们一定都读过那些迷惑人心的报道和评注,也对此发表过见解、阐述过反驳: ?2 ?0 w0 N/ s

如果我冒犯了任何人,抱歉。”我请问 ABC,古怪的是谁?只字不提“为什么”抱歉,

. Y: e- N! _+ E1 S8 v" i8 Z; @. C+ ^
在给 80-20 的信中,ABC 仍声称其旨在娱乐大众,别无他意。请问,难道拿“杀

海报上写“不要欺负我们”。开始我不理解,后来我才明白,他的意思是“不要利用我3 p7 u4 y/ Q E' i6 _2 ?

! S2 h& Q3 }! o6 n$ T `) U- D7 F. X7 U
10 月 29 日,Kimmel 先生将这一切归罪于文化差异的理念,多么可笑。我请问,
" \( |- \+ |8 _您所谓的“文化差异”是什么意思?勤奋工作、赢得尊重、热爱和谐的文化?还是暴力
6 ~1 p5 @, k3 U和种族仇恨的文化?这二者区别何在?我相信我们与 Kimmel 之间的确存在着天壤之别
2 A+ n9 F* h7 m。我们是非分明,对幽默亦心领神会!然而,我们不能容忍的是你恶意的玩笑、之后公. X. A A7 m4 _" Y& `

生是个不称职的公众人物之外,它显得多么苍白无力!
" _$ _; J. X4 P4 b2 t; S- f' `: ?% H, Z/ y/ a
ABC,请别再拿“文化差异”掩饰自己的错误!除了印第安原住民,我们所有人都

我一而再,再而三地询问:“走到这一步,我们花了多长时间?”有朋友说,“某3 T+ O9 ^1 l; H; R# |) o# H
处登了书面道歉啦”。现实生活中,谁会有这么多的第三次机会?然而,这让我陷入沉

My friend's sweet 11-year old wants to write on his poster, "do not take

On 10/29, Mr. Kimmel even resorted to the ridiculous notion of cultural ! B u2 d8 ^0 X/ f
