黑豹党：革命先锋（2015）

有一个古老的故事
There's an old story,
在不同文化中都广为流传
and it's used in various cultures,
一群盲人走近一头大象
where a group of blind men approach an elephant
并试着描述它的模样
and try to describe him.
第一个人走近大象 摸到它的侧面
The first man approaches the elephant, touches its side,
然后说它长得像堵墙
and says, it feels like a wall.
第二个人摸到象牙
The next man touches a tusk and says,
说大象一定长得像长矛
the elephant must be like a spear.
另一个盲人摸到象鼻
Another blind man touches the trunk and says,
说它长得像条蛇
it feels like a snake.
这正是我们描述黑豹党时
And that is quite often what happens with our descriptions
常出现的情形
of the Black Panther Party.
我们知道自己加入的党派
We know the party we were in
但并不了解所有事
and not the entire thing.
我们创造了历史 但那并不美好纯净
We were making history and it wasn't nice and clean.
那并不简单
It wasn't easy.
那很复杂
It was complex.
来自伊利诺伊斯州芝加哥的
From Chicago, Illinois,
伟大的奇利特乐队
the mighty Chi-Lites.
*天啊 必须给予人♥民♥更大的权力*
*For God's sake, you got to give more power to the people*
*那些高高在上的人霸占了一切*
*There's some people up there hogging everything*
成立黑豹党的原因是
The thing that led to the Panthers
我们每天都在电视上看到
was what we were seeing on television every day...
军犬 消防水管 炸♥弹♥
attack dogs, fire hoses, bombings.
我们正处在黑色革命的前夕 兄弟们
We stand on the eve of a black revolution, brothers.
当时 人群中出现了这样的声音
Now we have the emergence of voices within the community
他们说
that were saying,
我们不会继续忍♥气吞声
we're not going to continue to turn the other cheek.
去告诉那些密西西比州的白人
You tell them white folk in Mississippi
所有胆小的黑鬼都已经死了
that all the scared niggers are dead.
我们想要黑人♥权♥力
We want black power.
我们想要黑人♥权♥力
We want black power.
那是个巨变的时代
This was a revolutionary time.
在黑豹党成立前的十年中
50 countries in the world gained their independence
全世界有五十个国家取得了独♥立♥
in the decade before the founding of the Black Panther party.
那时人们应征入伍
This was the time when people are getting drafted
去越南打仗
to go and fight in Vietnam.
如果有人站出来说
So if somebody's coming and saying well,
你想打仗的话
if you're going to fight,
为什么不就在洛杉矶或奥克兰打呢
why not fight right here in LA or Oakland, you know?
这很有道理
That made a lot of sense.
看到我们所看到的 你无法置身事外
You couldn't be absent and see what we saw.
我们无法熟视无睹
We couldn't unsee it.
加入黑豹党前 我在一个白人的
I was a cocktail waitress in a white strip club
脱衣舞俱乐部当了两年鸡尾酒女郎
two years before I joined the Black Panther Party.
怎么会加入呢
How did that happen?
街上发生暴♥动♥
The rage was in the streets.
到处都是
It was everywhere.
我们什么都不会得到
We're not gonna get nothing.
仅仅坐在这里
Not by sitting around here
静♥坐♥示♥威♥ 无动于衷 什么都得不到
and just doing these sit-in demonstrations and nothing.
人们什么都不会做
People are not going to do anything.
但我们要怎么做
But how are we going to do it?
通过暴♥力♥
By violence.
暴♥力♥
Violence.
通过起义 进行革命
By uprising, having a revolution.
见血那种
Just with blood, you know.
每个人都流点血吧
Let everybody bleed a little bit.

在全国范围内警方和黑人的关系
Relations between police and Negroes throughout the country
都越来越差
are getting worse.
深受警方和黑人间仇恨困扰的城市之一
One of the cities most troubled by animosity
是加利福尼亚州的奥克兰
between police and Negroes is Oakland, California.
那段时间人们总是谈论自♥由♥
People always talked about freedom and what that means
贾马尔·约瑟夫
黑豹党
及其含义
during that time period.
作为美国的黑人
Being black in America meant
你走在街上时
that you didn't walk down the street
并没有和白人相同的
with the same sense of safety
安全感和特权意识
and the same sense of privilege as a white person.
警♥察♥在加利福尼亚对待我们的方式
There was absolutely no difference in the way
和在密西西比时完全没有差别
the police treated us in Mississippi than they did in California.
威廉·卡尔霍恩
黑豹党
他们也许不会成天叫你黑鬼
They may not have called you nigger everyday,
但他们对待你的方式和在密西西比时一样
but they treated you the same way they did in Mississippi.
警♥察♥会突然抓住你
The police jump on you,
打你 用枪指着你的头
beat you up, put the gun at your head.
这是我们每天都会经历的事
This is what we were going through on a daily basis.
韦恩·法尔
黑豹党
我第一次见到休伊和鲍比时
When I first met Huey and Bobby,
他们正在组建一个组织
they were in the process of forming an organization
埃尔伯特·"大个子"·霍华德
黑豹党
主要是为了自卫
for primarily self-defense.
我们并没打算成立全国性的组织
We didn't plan to have a nationwide organization
或类似的组织
or anything like that.
我们筹谋和应对奥克兰的问题
We were organizing, dealing with the problems in Oakland.
我们用黑豹作为我们的象征
We use the Black Panther as our symbol
休伊·牛顿
黑豹党
是因为豹的天性
because the nature of panther,
豹子不会攻击任何人
panther doesn't strike anyone,
但当他被攻击时 他会先退让
but when he's assailed upon that he'll back up first.
但假如攻击者继续 他就会出击
But if the aggressor continues then he'll strike out.
休伊研究过法律
Huey had studied the law.
在那段特殊时期的奥克兰
In Oakland at that particular time,
当时没被判重罪的任何人
anyone could carry a firearm
都可以携带枪♥支♥
who did not have a felony conviction at the time.
舍温·福特
黑豹党
枪♥支♥不能隐藏
The firearm could not be concealed.
必须放在显眼的地方
It had to be in the open.
《加州刑法典》第12020至12027条
The California Penal Code, section 12020 through 12027,
还有《宪法第二修正案》
and also the Second Amendment of the Constitution,
保障公民在公共场所有携带武器的权利
guarantees the citizen a right to bear arms on public property.
休伊说我们要带着枪
Huey said we're going to carry our guns
跟着警♥察♥
and we're going to follow the police.
如果他们拦下谁 我们也要停下
And if they stop someone, we're going to stop.
我们要保持合法距离
We're going to maintain a legal distance
我们将观察这些所谓的执法官
and we're going to observe the so-called law officers
是如何履行职责的
in performance of their duties.
我们开着车四处闲逛 找乐子
We were in the car and driving around, having fun.
我们会看漂亮女人
We would... we was looking at the pretty women
埃默里·道格拉斯
黑豹党
追着她们跑
and chasing the sisters.
然后可能发生了什么
Then something might happen,
我们的关注点
and then all of a sudden the focus
突然变得严肃起来
would just become serious.
我们马上到街角
We're coming around the corner.
待在原地不要动
Stay facing where you are.
我们会停下
We would stop.
我们会下车
We would get out of the cars.
然后走到现场
We would walk up to the scene.
那些带着步♥枪♥的人
Those who had rifles
会把枪放在显眼的地方 一目了然
would carry them in the open, clearly visible.
我们会保持距离
We would stand at a, a distance
休伊·牛顿
黑豹党
避免警♥察♥说我们妨碍他们
where the police couldn't say that we were interfering
逮捕或羁押他人
with their arrest or their detention of the individual
确保没有暴♥力♥事件的发生
and, make sure that there was no brutality.
