Rescuing Human Rights: A Radically Moderate Approach (Rescuing) was published shortly before the outbreak in 2020 of the novel coronavirus and its myriad human rights and class issues regarding equality, discrimination, health, and labor rights of people of color. This was also prior to the concurrent public murder of George Floyd as an unarmed Black man by the Minneapolis police in late May 2020, and the resulting continuing Black Lives Matter massive national and international movement against the deaths of Floyd and others and the history of systemic American racism, including police shooting deaths, discrimination, and brutality against African Americans, particularly unarmed Black men. Such comprehensive street protests have not been seen in America since 1968. They represent, inter alia, the cover of disguises of national racism being publicly stripped away, and the national confrontation with irrefutable evidence of a wide spectrum of systemic rights violations and the deficits of American law and government to ensure African Americans’ basic rights. Further, Rescuing was published before it became fully apparent that the federal government's responses to Black Lives Matter, particularly the executive branch, would fan the racial conflicts of national mourning and demands for new justice narratives, rather than healing and unifying for American citizens as a whole, even as these protests were the most diverse in recent memory.

人权界限的界限

拯救人权：一种极端温和的方法(营救) 是在 2020 年新型冠状病毒爆发前不久发布的，它涉及有色人种的平等、歧视、健康和劳工权利等无数人权和阶级问题。这也是在 2020 年 5 月下旬明尼阿波利斯警方同时公开谋杀乔治·弗洛伊德（George Floyd）作为手无寸铁的黑人之前，以及由此产生的持续的“黑人的命也是命”大规模的国内和国际运动，反对弗洛伊德和其他人的死亡以及系统性的历史美国的种族主义，包括警察枪杀、歧视和对非裔美国人，尤其是手无寸铁的黑人的暴行。自 1968 年以来，美国从未出现过如此全面的街头抗议活动。它们代表着，除其他外，公开剥去民族种族主义的伪装，以及全国范围内与广泛的系统性侵犯权利的无可辩驳的证据以及美国法律和政府在确保非裔美国人的基本权利方面存在缺陷的对抗。进一步，营救在联邦政府对“黑人的命也是命”的回应，尤其是对行政部门的回应变得十分明显之前，将煽动民族哀悼的种族冲突和对新正义叙事的要求，而不是治愈和统一整个美国公民，甚至因为这些抗议活动是最近记忆中最多样化的。
