An American Diptych

The way to right wrongs is to shine the light of truth on them.

—Ida B. Wells

1.after a broadside ad for a runaway slave on August 4, 1853

Everything Emily owns in the worldshe wears on her 17-year-old backor carries in her northbound sack:one gingham bonnet with a red cord,

one dark calico, one blue and white dress,one pair of slippers, one white-striped shawl.Tho’s H. Williams, in his Kentucky drawl,dictates her belongings to me at his desk,

saying he’ll give $100 to anyone who bringsmy Black Woman and her well grown hips home(although we both know she kicks like a coltwhen forced to do something

she doesn’t want to doand shrieks like a barn owl at the moon).

2.after an untitled photograph of a Klan March in Gainesville, Georgia, September 5, 1992

When my boy toddled down the street,marching in stride with us Winder Knights,robed in white, wearing his proud hat,cape down his back like Batman(that’s what I told him when he foughtme this morning—at first, tied up in knots,then fidgeting, face turning beet red,whining he couldn’t catch his breath),

I saw him—Josh, the son I pushed like hellto get out of me (all that blood on pastelsheets!)—approach a cop (black dressed in bluelike a bruise, watching his every move),then spot his own small face in the riot shield,and (he couldn’t resist) touch it, for real. [End Page 334]

Amid Interruptions, Samuel A. Cartwright Pontificates about Drapetomania to a Friend over Fine Dining, New Orleans, June 1851

Ah, yes, I’m so glad you asked about that. We do sharecommon interests, don’t we? Probably because you and Iboth know the good Lord made the Negroes

to bend their knees to us in obedience to the Word.And we, in turn, feed and clothe them, offer fuelfor their fire, and provide a place for them to live.

The work we give them helps them feel a senseof purpose. We cannot defy the Almighty by lettingthem think more highly of themselves than they ought.

Amen? Amen. (no, no more wine. that’ll be fine, thank you.)As I was saying, we must not encourage them to dreamabout working their own fields, or, God forbid, to read and write.

When we do, I hypothesize, we inspire flights (peach pie?how can I refuse?) of, of, yes, there’s the word, fancythat confuse them cruelly, since they have a nature

not unlike that of a new-born infant of the white race.¹So we allow them evenings with their families, yes, we do.We push them hard, true, but they bear the rays of the sun

better than we. We whip them before they raisetheir voices in protest, but only then—for that cancure dysaesthesia aethiopica, too, and stir the skin

into the sensitivity it lacks. (right you are, good sir, my scienceis sound. indeed—this is no germ theory! ha!)Where was I? Ah, yes, so our moderation—borne of love—

casts a preventative spell. Otherwise, the impulse to wanderoverruns them like miasma poisons the night air,spreading disease everywhere. (oh, very good to see you

this balmy evening as well!) And then, then they deceivethemselves into believing liberty affordssomething more than the hunger and helplessness

that’d await them. But I agree with you: the worstof the rascals do run, afflicted as they are with this unnaturalvagabondage. So what can we do? (yes, indeed, tomorrow

and tomorrow, I will—first thing!) When the patrol returnsthe fugitives to your hands, remedy the illness permanently:Cut off their big toes. That will foil their frustration forever.

美国双折

对错的方式是向他们闪耀真理的光芒。

—艾达·B·威尔斯（Ida B. Wells）

1.在1853年8月4日为逃亡的奴隶制作的宽边广告之后

艾米丽（Emily）在世界上拥有的一切东西，既可以穿在17岁的背上，也可以背着北袋：一根红绳的方格布式引擎盖，

一件深色印花布，一件蓝白色连衣裙，一对拖鞋和一条白色条纹的披肩。索（Tho）的H.威廉姆斯（H. Williams）在他的肯塔基画架上，在他的办公桌上指示她的财产给我，

说他会给任何将我的“黑人女性”和她长成的臀部带回家的人100美元（尽管我们俩都知道她在被迫做某事时会像小马驹一样踢

她不想做，像月亮上的仓一样尖叫。

2. 1992年9月5日在佐治亚州盖恩斯维尔的无名氏游行的无题照片之后

当我的男孩在街上蹒跚前进时，与我们齐步前进的温德·奈特斯（Winder Knights），穿着白袍，戴着骄傲的帽子，像蝙蝠侠一样披着他的背（这就是我今天早上与他战斗时告诉他的内容—起初，他被绑在结，然后坐立不安，甜菜脸红了，抱怨他无法呼吸），

我看到了他-乔什，我像地狱一样被推开的儿子从我身上逃脱（所有的血都在粉彩的纸上！）-接见了一名警察（黑色穿着蓝色，像瘀伤一样，注视着他的一举一动），然后发现了自己的小东西。面对防暴盾牌，然后（他无法抗拒）触摸它，这是真实的。[第334页]

1851年6月，在中断中，塞缪尔·卡特赖特（Samuel A. Cartwright）向朋友介绍了有关披风草属的美食，新奥尔良

啊，是的，我很高兴您问到这个问题。我们确实有共同的利益，不是吗？可能是因为您和我都知道好主造了黑人

顺服圣经向我们屈膝。我们反过来给他们喂食和穿衣，为他们的火提供燃料，并为他们提供生存的场所。

我们为他们提供的工作使他们感到有目标感。我们不能通过让他们对自己的想法超出应有的程度来抗衡全能者。

阿们 阿们 （不，不再喝酒。谢谢。）正如我说的，我们绝不能鼓励他们梦working以求地从事自己的领域，或者，上帝禁止读和写。

我假设，当我们这样做时，我们会激发飞行（桃子派？我该如何拒绝？）的飞行，是的，因为他们有天性，所以“幻想”这个词使他们残酷地感到困惑。

与白人的新生婴儿没什么两样。¹因此，我们允许他们与家人共度夜晚，是的，我们愿意。我们用力，真实地推动它们，但它们承受着阳光

比我们更好。我们在他们高声抗议之前先鞭打他们，但只有那样-因为那也可以治愈感冒性感觉异常，并搅动皮肤

缺乏它的敏感性。（对，您好，先生，我的科学很好。的确-这不是细菌理论！哈！）我在哪里？啊，是的，所以我们的节制-充满爱意-

施放预防性咒语。否则，四处游荡的冲动会使他们像mi疮一样毒害夜空中，将疾病传播到各处。（哦，很高兴见到你

这种温和的夜晚，以及！）然后，然后他们欺骗自己相信自由得到更多的东西比饥饿和无助

等待着他们。不过，我同意你的看法：最糟糕的的流氓做跑，折磨，因为他们与此不自然的流浪生活。所以，我们能做些什么？（是的，的确是明天

明天，我将-第一件事！）当巡逻队将逃犯放回您的手中时，请永久纠正这种疾病：砍掉他们的大脚趾。那将永远挫败他们的挫败感。
