布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导

It was while my home was at Malden that what was known as the “Ku Klux Klan” was in the height of its activity. The “Ku Klux” were bands of men who had joined themselves together for the purpose of regulating the conduct of the coloured people, especially with the object of preventing the members of the race from exercising any influence in politics. They corresponded somewhat to the “patrollers” of whom I used to hear a great deal during the days of slavery, when I was a small boy. The “patrollers” were bands of white men—usually young men—who were organized largely for the purpose of regulating the conduct of the slaves at night in such matters as preventing the slaves from going from one plantation to another without passes, and for preventing them from holding any kind of meetings without permission and without the presence at these meetings of at least one white man.

白话

华盛顿住在马尔登时,三K党活动正猖獗。三K党是成群结队的人,目的是管制有色人种的行为,尤其要阻止黑人在政治上有任何影响力。华盛顿说,这有点像他小时候听说的“巡逻队”:通常是白人青年组成的队伍,夜里管束奴隶,不许奴隶没有通行证就从一个种植园跑到另一个,也不许他们未经许可、没有白人在场就集会。他讲这些不是要煽动仇恨,而是为后文说明南方后来发生了巨大变化做铺垫。

上下文

华盛顿在自传中回忆重建时期南方对黑人的社会控制,三K党与奴隶制时代的巡逻队一脉相承。

今日一问

今天有哪些看似“维持秩序”的做法,实际上在限制某一群人的参与和发声?
