维吉尼亚大学校园内挥之不去的愤怒
出国留学网讯 在饮酒文化过度呈现的维吉尼亚大学校内，黑人学生成了警察无故关注的目标，Johnson的案件让种族歧视问题的讨论更加白热化，非洲裔学生开始集体抗议，呼吁保障黑人权利，黑人学生遭暴力甚至致命拘捕的现象还会再发生吗?
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. — Chanting “black lives matter” and raising their fists, more than 100 African American students walked out of a meeting with law enforcement officials here Friday, as the University of Virginia community expressed growing frustration in the quest for answers about the violent arrest this week of a black student.
100多名维吉尼亚大学的非洲裔学生举行了抗议游行，让警方对黑人学生的暴力拘捕行为给个说法，并发出了保障黑人权利的呼声。
The officers, with the state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, took the 20-year-old into custody early Wednesday on misdemeanor charges of obstruction of justice and public intoxication after a bouncer refused to let him into Trinity Irish Pub. Images of Johnson went viral through social media and have rocked the prestigious 23,000-student public university. An ABC special agent described Johnson in court documents as “very agitated and belligerent” at the time of the arrest.
警方在周三以妨碍执法为由拘捕了一个20岁的黑人学生Johnson, 他被警察暴力对待的形象迅速传遍网络并在维吉尼亚大学校内引起了轰动。
But the students who packed Friday’s meeting were irate. And many suggested that the case reflects a pattern of racial bias at U-Va. and elsewhere across the country. It came at a time of heightened awareness of racial profiling and amid widespread criticism of white officers interacting violently, or even lethally, with black men.
参与集会的学生非常愤怒，他们表示这个事件反映了维吉尼亚大学校内甚至是整个美国的种族歧视问题。在白人警察暴力甚至致命地对待黑人的行为受到广泛指责的社会背景之下，此事件还是发生了。
Abenezer Eregetie, 20, a sophomore from Northern Virginia who is African American, attended the meeting but did not walk out with the others. He said the demonstration was “pretty bold. They needed to be bold.” Eregetie said the Johnson case has galvanized the campus to confront questions about racial bias. “The bloody face was what triggered all this,” he said. With underage drinking so prevalent in a college town, he said, “police should have better things to do, rather than going and picking on one black guy.”
20岁的非洲裔大二学生Abenezer Ergetie没能参与集会游行，但他觉得此次抗议是“非常勇敢的，他们需要勇敢起来。”他认为Johnson的案件已经让学校直面种族歧视问题，校区的饮酒问题非常严重，但警察最好做出真正有效的措施，不要整天就知道随便挑个黑人抓抓。
