布克·T·华盛顿:力争上游·摘录 13

布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导

Consider the change that has come in twenty years in the discussion of the Negro problem. Two or three decades ago social philosophers and statisticians and well-meaning philanthropists were still talking and writing about the deportation of the Negroes, or about their settlement within some restricted area, or about their settling in all parts of the Union, or about their decline through their neglect of their children, or about their rapid multiplication till they should expel the whites from the South—of every sort of nonsense under heaven. All this has given place to the simple plan of an indefinite extension among the neglected classes of both races of the Hampton-Tuskegee system of training. The “problem” in one sense has disappeared. The future will have for the South swift or slow development of its masses and of its soil in proportion to the swift or slow development of this kind of training. This change of view is a true measure of Mr. Washington’s work.

白话

看看二十年来黑人问题讨论的变化。二三十年前,社会哲学家、统计学家和好心的慈善家还在谈论把黑人驱逐出境、圈定区域居住、分散到全国、因忽视子女而衰退、快速繁殖直到把白人赶出南方——各种荒唐说法。如今这些都让位给一个简单方案:在黑白两个种族中被忽视的阶层里,无限推广汉普顿-塔斯基吉式的训练。问题在某种意义上消失了。南方群众和土地的快速发展,将取决于这种训练推广的快慢。这种观念转变,才是衡量华盛顿先生工作的真正尺度。

上下文
