羅伯‧穆加貝(Robert
Mugabe)於1960年代作為辛巴威非洲民族聯盟領袖(Zimbabwe African
National Union – Patriotic Front),曾與少數白人統治的羅德西亞進行游擊戰,當時被非洲人尊為英雄。1980年他出任總理,1987年接任總統至今。
以下是這位黑人總統對種族歧視的看法。 喻意雖然讓人發噱, 卻是字字珠璣。最精采還是最後一句, 簡直一針見血。
1. Racism will never end as long as white
cars are still using black tyres.
2. Racism will never end as long we still
wash first white clothes, and other colours later.
3. Racism will never end if people still
use black to symbolise bad luck and white for peace!
4. Racism will never end if people still
wear white clothes to weddings and black clothes to the funerals.
5. Racism will never end as long as those
who dont pay their bills are blacklisted not white listed. Even when playing
pool (snooker), you havent won until you sink the black ball, and the white
ball must remain on the field.
But I dont care, so long as Im using
white toilet paper to wipe my black ass, Im still fine !
只要以下的情況仍然持續下去, 種族歧視永遠無法消除:
1) 白色汽車仍然用黑色輪胎;
2) 洗衣服時先洗白色衣物, 然後洗雜色的。
3) 人們仍然以黑色象徵厄運而以白色象徵和平。
4) 人們仍然穿著白色衣服赴婚禮而穿著黑色參加喪禮。
5) 不清償欠債會被列入黑名單而不是白名單。就算桌球遊戲, 你得最後將黑球清除, 保留白球在桌面才算贏。
不過我才懶得理會哩。只要我繼續用白廁紙揩我的黑屁股, 我依然感覺良好!
