家园 Boston Legal S3e20有段故事很精彩——

Denny Crane夸奖新来的黑人律师伶牙俐齿,说了句:u don't sound black.这位律师马上闹到媒体那里,Denny Crane成为千夫所指,几乎无法收拾。强悍的Shirley召开了记者招待会,这段话太精彩了,引用下:

yesterday my partner,Denny Crane,made some regrettable statements,the most offensive being when he told an African-American law student that he didn't sound black.I know Denny Crane.He is not a bigot.When he used the word 'articulate',as i suspect Joe Biden used it,as i suspect our President used it,what he was attmepting to convey was that he thought Mr.Givens would play well with white corporate America. The simple but ugly truth is we all look for that.Perhaps unconsiously,perhaps not,but we do.We have a primarily white client base. We hire associates we feel will best appeal to that base.Before you point your finger at us i would invite the media to look at its own industry. Consider the criteria by which you choose your anchors,Denny Crane's statement speaks not to his racism but to a much more insidious one that exists in a white collar society that prefers to take its black as it takes its coffee,with a little cream and sugar.i'am not proud of it. But until we confront that truth,we will not change it.Thank you all for coming.

当然,她兜了这一大圈趁媒体沉默转身就走的策略更是英明。说话直率爱放炮的Denny有句反问挺有意思的:"What'd he sound like?" I should just say, "Male" or?可见同是pc,也不平等,种族可比性别要紧的多。这位女士说的是实话,只不过现在有没有容忍实话承认实话的气氛呢?不会有鲜花,只会有手捧pc红宝书拍出的无数板砖。

俺没看过Boston legal前对共和党员挺有偏见的,Denny Crane 这个家伙,让俺对共和党有了新的认识。强硬,不虚伪;令人快意。剧末民主党员Alan Shore和共和党员Denny Crane 有段关涉Obama的对话很辛辣精彩,共享之博君一笑一省。

Alan: Do you think you're a racist Denny?

Denny: Oh?nah, I?I don't know.Do you think it's racist to say a man sounds black?

Alan: I think it's more offensive to say,'street' or 'urban', when the inference is you mean 'black'.

Denny: So, what do you say?

Alan: Well, Barack Obama referred to the black sound as a black idiom, more like jazz and less like a set score.

Denny: They let him get away with that?

Alan: Evidently.

Denny: I might vote for him, you know.

Alan: Obama?

Denny: "Anybody in America can grow up to be president!"That's what I say. Except Hillary! She wins, I puke.

Alan: Barack Obama.

Denny: Ah. Handsome.Great photo-op.But I don't know what he stands for.Be a perfect president.He speaks perfect white, as well as black.You never heard me say that.

Alan: What about McCain?

Denny: He speaks Bush now. Can't win.

Alan: Obama is against the war now, you know.

Denny: So am I. It's boring.I'm ready for a new war.Time to blow up Iran.They got Sadam.Now we gotta get uh?Amina Douchebag.And that nut job in North Korea, they both gotta go.And not because they're not white.

Alan: Okay.Denny, does it bother you at all that America is so hated by the rest of the world these days?

Denny: Well, of course it does, Alan.Just can't please everybody.Better to just...

Alan: Blow them up.

Denny: Exactly.And not because they're not white.

Alan: NO.
