　　新华网北京６月２６日电（记者孙铁翔）国务院新闻办公室２６日发表《２０１４年美国的人权纪录》，回应美国政府发布的“国别人权报告”。

　　人权纪录说，美国国务院于当地时间６月２５日再次发布国别人权报告，对世界许多国家人权状况评头论足，而偏偏对自己糟糕的人权纪录，毫无反省改进之意。大量事实证明，２０１４年，以“人权卫士”自居的美国，旧有人权问题未见改善，新的人权问题不断出现，自身人权状况更加堪忧，侵犯他国人权更加肆无忌惮，在国际人权场合被亮更多“红牌”。

　　人权纪录从不同方面列举了美国存在的人权问题：

　　－－美国枪支泛滥，暴力犯罪猖獗，公民权利受到严重威胁。发生在美国的谋杀案件中有６９．０％使用枪支，抢劫案件中有４０．０％使用枪支，严重暴力袭击案中有２１．６％使用枪支。警察过度使用暴力造成多人死亡，引发民众强烈抗议。密苏里州弗格森镇手无寸铁的１８岁非洲裔青年迈克尔·布朗遭白人警察达伦·威尔逊六枪射杀。

　　－－美国滥用酷刑，中央情报局使用的酷刑手段令人触目惊心。

　　－－美国种族歧视极其严重，少数族裔继续遭受系统性歧视。警察执法和司法中存在严重的种族偏向。少数群体和土著人在环境、选举、医疗、住房、教育等方面遭受不公正待遇。

　　－－金钱主导美国政治，公民政治权利难以保障。中期选举花费创历史新高，公民投票率创第二次世界大战以来新低。

　　－－美国是世界上经济最发达的国家，但公民的经济和社会权利却难以得到充分保障。

　　－－美国妇女儿童的权利得不到充分保障。平均每年有约２１０万名女性遭到男性攻击，每天有３名女性被其伴侣杀害，有４名女性死于遭受虐待。

　　－－美国国家安全局等情报机构长期大规模监听他国领导人及普通民众。

　　人权纪录全文约１．１万字，分为导言、公民权利、政治权利、经济和社会权利、种族歧视、妇女和儿童权利、侵犯他国人权等部分。

50 years after the Civil Rights Movement and black suffrage, America still remains one of the most racist countries in the world.

Barack Obama was right to use the N-word

Gary Silverman


By enunciating the epithet he struck a blow against euphemism. This is leadership

In the 1970s, George Carlin, the American countercultural comedian, gained fame for his routine about the “seven words you can’t say on television”. The terms referred to human body parts, excretions and conjugal activities, and perhaps the funniest thing about them today is that they have largely lost their power to offend many Americans.

In the current US context, there is only one word that really quickens the pulse and stops a conversation in its tracks — and it is “nigger”, which is “a contemptuous term for a black or a dark-skinned person”, according to the Oxford dictionary, that is now rendered as the “N-word” in civil discourse.

So it was big news in America when the sitting president of our fair republic, Barack Obama, uttered the pejorative during a podcast this week in which he discussed US race relations in the aftermath of the killing of nine black people by a white gunman in a Charleston, South Carolina, church last week.

As is his tendency, Mr Obama employed the appellation carefully. He did not use it to describe anyone. Rather, he invoked it as a historical marker, making the case that, for all the improvements in the lives of African-Americans in recent decades, more work is needed to root out the racism that is “still part of our DNA” after centuries of slavery and discrimination.

“We’re not cured of it,” the president said on the podcast, called WTF with Marc Maron (“WTF” being internet slang for “what”, “the” and a four-letter word dear to the Carlin crowd). “It’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say ‘nigger’ in public. That’s not the measure of whether racism still exists or not.”

My word for this is leadership. By enunciating the epithet, Mr Obama was venturing into tough political terrain — the kind usually addressed indirectly, in the jokes told by comedians such as the late Carlin or Mr Maron. The president was talking about race in the way Americans really do in their homes and on their streets — and that was refreshing.

In part Mr Obama did so because, yes, he can. Under the complex rules of our racial game, the word in question is most often used in public — sometimes ironically, sometimes affectionately — by black people. As African-American comedian Chris Rock has observed: “Whenever the word ‘nigger’ is spoken, it is always followed by the same question: Can white people say ‘nigger’? And the correct answer is: not really.”

But Mr Obama was also clearly pushing back against one of the more familiar of US political rituals — the “national conversation about race” that follows every hate crime and riot, as well as any number of award ceremonies for sensitive artistic depictions of slavery or the struggle for civil rights.

Before the tears dry, the usual suspects have assembled in front of the cameras to yammer on how about how we all got here and where we will go. Kumbaya, my Lord, blah, blah, blah, they intone — until an aircraft crashes or a male celebrity becomes a woman and racial subjects stop trending on Twitter.

During his podcast performance, the president struck a blow against euphemism in our national life. White people know they are no longer supposed to use the slur in public, but that doesn’t mean they don’t think it or employ proxy expressions to deliver the same message — “thug” being one current example.

Indeed, the regular use of the “N-word” formulation in the media is really pretty weird, as the white US comedian Louis CK, an Obama favourite, has pointed out. “Whenever a white lady on CNN with nice hair says ‘the N-word’, that’s just white people getting away with saying ‘nigger,’” he says. “When you say ‘the N-word’, you put the word ‘nigger’ in the listener’s head.”

Ultimately, Mr Obama’s response to Charleston was to push our national discourse in a more practical, policy-oriented direction. “It’s not enough just to feel bad,” he told Mr Maron. “There are actions that could be taken to make events like this less likely.”

Only hours after the killings, Mr Obama called for gun safety laws aimed at keeping weapons out of the hands of “violent, hateful or mentally disturbed people”. He then expressed his support for removing the Confederate battle flag — an inspiration for the Charleston shooter — from the grounds of the South Carolina state capitol.

Mr Obama’s call for tougher gun controls is, of course, doomed to failure. A Congress that refused to act in response to the slaughter of 20 children at the Sandy Hook Elementary school is unlikely to be moved by the deaths of nine worshippers at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.

But the appeals to lower Confederate flags have been yielding results across the southern US. In the spirit of Casablanca’s Captain Renault, conservative politicians have been shocked to discover that the display of the “stars and bars” has been painful for the descendants of the slaves freed during our Civil War, among others.

It is a small step forward, but a welcome one. It is a reminder, too, of why so many Americans voted for Mr Obama in the first place. Plenty of people are sick and tired of our old divisions — and that six-letter dictionary entry that still hurts so bad after all these years.
