他的課是我在大學裡面上的最有用的一堂課，雖然我是學business的。我寫的那些文章到現在還留著，以後也不會丟掉。因為他的課，我對國際關係，世界政治格局，中東各國，中國以及鄰國的關係，疆獨藏獨，以及中美關係，有了一個全新的了解。他應該說是一個人權鬥士，與拉美社區，愛爾蘭社區，穆斯林社區都有很多聯繫。
Jimmy Kimmel事件后，我馬上寫信給他，問他的看法。他給出了幾項建議，得到他的允許，我列出來，請大家參考。
1， 聯繫 Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi is the Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives and served as the 60th Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 2007 to 2011。
2， 聯繫John Andrew Boehner is the 61st and current Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. A member of the Republican Party, he is the U.S. Representative from Ohio's 8th congressional district, serving since 1991.
請他們公開譴責這種言論。
他說：Where Kimmel will be hurt most is his source of money. 建議分別是：
1， 贊助他節目的人，一律聯繫到。請他們對Kimmel錯誤做法表態。如有必要，可以考慮抵制這些贊助商。
2， 聯繫Eric Himpton Holder, Jr. is the 82nd Attorney General of the United States, 他是專門起訴「hate crime」的， in office since 2009. Holder, serving in the administration of President Barack Obama, is the first African American to hold the position of U.S. Attorney General. 方式是聯名上書。我在想我們是否可以用我們白宮的petition。
附上email。
I am disturbed by what you relate to me, profoundly disturbed. The fact that he would egg children on and that he would find any comments about killing anybody a joke is appalling. What troubles me is that many people are inured to this kind of talk as entertainment -- until someone acts on it, then it is a spectacle and becomes round the clock news, and that also turns into prurience and entertainment.
I support a petition that we should send to Nancy Pelosi and to John Boehner to sanction talk such as Kimmels. Where Kimmel will be hurt most is his source of money. So whoever sponsors during his show should be contacted to comment on how wrong what he said and did is, and then a threat of boycotting their products should be issued if they don't respond or handle the matter with a lightness that sometimes companies and corporations do.
Eric Holder, the Attorney General, who is going after hate crimes, prosecuted by the Justice Department, and well-enforced by the F.B.I., should get a letter signed from representative members of the Asian community, and from the non-Asian communite, allies, demonstrating that we know and believe that what Kimmel did is criminal: it is hate speech, and that it cannot go unsanctioned.
The United States found Anwar Al Awlaki's preaching hatred enough to track and send a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle to take him out, and they were justified in doing so because his hate speech translated to action, inspired action to kill others. Mr. Kimmel's actions and encouragement, and making of a serious matter into a 'joke', is not justifying the same, but it does mean that in our democracy and in doing what is right we must hold him accountable and make note that such statements are unacceptable. Freedom of speech does not include the incitement that stokes the desire to kill others. |
