来自一个名为“美国自由民项目”(U.S. Freedmen Project)的基层组织的赔偿活动人士告诉 Fox News Digital,最近的移民以及那些并非美国“原住民”(即那些在美国历史上通过奴隶贸易或殖民活动而形成的黑人社区成员)不应被纳入政府的赔偿计划中。

Reparations activists from a grassroots organization called the U.S. Freedmen Project told Fox News Digital that recent immigrants and non-foundational Black Americans should not be included in government reparations programs. "I also think it’s not morally correct, you know? You don't give out remedies to people who haven't experienced the harm," Annette Wilcox, a spokesperson for the group, told Fox News Digital.

“我认为这样做在道德上也是不对的,”该组织的发言人安妮特·威尔科克斯(Annette Wilcox)对 Fox News Digital 表示,“你不能把补偿措施给予那些从未经历过伤害的人。”

"A lot of these policies — the Commission on Racial Equity in the city, the Mayor’s Office on Equity and Justice — they talk constantly about slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, convict leasing. All of those things that happened to a specific group of people," Wilcox added.

“很多相关政策——比如市里的种族平等委员会、市长办公室的公平与正义部门——它们总是谈论奴隶制、吉姆·克劳法(Jim Crow 法律)、种族歧视政策以及那些特定群体所遭受的不公正待遇,”威尔科克斯补充道,“但当真正需要分配资源或提供补偿时,却把补偿对象扩大到了所有弱势群体,包括有色人种、移民以及边缘化群体。这其实是在利用某个特定群体的历史来为更广泛的群体提供补偿。”

"Then, when it comes time to give out resources and remedies, it's going to everybody: underserved communities, POC [people of color], immigrants, marginalized groups. You’re using one group of people's history to then give remedies to a wider group." The U.S. Freedmen Project, composed of self-identified "Foundational Black Americans," aims to educate the public on the legal and historical distinctions between African Americans who are direct descendants of enslaved people in the U.S. and those who immigrated to the country voluntarily in recent decades.

“美国自由民项目”的成员都是自认为是“美国原住民”的人,他们的目标是向公众普及这样一个法律和历史上的重要区别:那些是美国奴隶后代的非裔美国人,与那些近几十年来自愿移民到美国的非裔美国人之间的区别。

CHAOS ERUPTS AT NY REPARATIONS HEARING AS ‘FOUNDATIONAL’ BLACK AMERICANS CLASH WITH LEFT-LEANING GROUPS Wilcox reacted sharply to efforts by New Jersey Democrats pushing the state to consider direct reparations proposals that could include residents who are not direct descendants of enslaved people.

在纽约的赔偿听证会上,当这些“美国原住民”与倾向于左翼的团体发生冲突时,现场陷入了混乱。威尔科克斯对新泽西州民主党推动的赔偿提案表示强烈反对;这些提案可能将那些并非奴隶后代的居民也纳入赔偿范围。

The proposed legislation — the Truth, Reconciliation, and Repair Act, spearheaded by Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson and state Sen. Angela McKnight — aims to address wealth disparities stemming from historical slavery and systemic discrimination.

这项名为《真相、和解与赔偿法案》(Truth, Reconciliation, and Repair Act)的立法提案,由州众议员维尔琳娜·雷诺兹-杰克逊(Verlina Reynolds-Jackson)和州参议员安吉拉·麦奈特(Angela McKnight)牵头提出,旨在解决因历史上的奴隶制和系统性歧视而导致的财富差距问题。该法案基于新泽西州赔偿委员会的研究成果,旨在为州一级的赔偿政策制定一个框架。

Informed by research from the New Jersey Reparations Council, the bill seeks to establish a framework for state-level reparative policies. U.S. Freedmen Project president Devine Prince told Fox News Digital that lawmakers and certain advocates are "conflating reparations with racial justice and social justice." Fox News Digital previously spoke with New York residents who voiced similar concerns during a public hearing for the New York State Community Commission on Reparations Remedies at Hempstead High School on Long Island. Residents warned state officials that broadening the scope of reparations to include recent immigrants and other marginalized groups risks co-opting and diluting the movement.

美国“自由民项目”(U.S. Freedmen Project)的负责人德文·普林斯(Devine Prince)告诉福克斯新闻数字频道(Fox News Digital),一些立法者及某些倡导者将“赔偿措施”与“种族正义”及“社会正义”混为一谈。此前,福克斯新闻数字频道曾采访过纽约市的居民;他们在长岛亨普斯特德高中(Hempstead High School)举行的纽约州赔偿与补救措施委员会(New York State Community Commission on Reparations Remedies)公开听证会上表达了类似的担忧。

NEW YORK FAR-LEFT GROUP CLAIMS REPARATIONS 'OWED' AS BLACKS' MEDIAN WEALTH 'NEARLY 15 TIMES LESS' THAN WHITES One supporter, Aubrey Muhammad, delivered tense testimony accusing politicians of misallocating resources away from historic Black communities amidst demographic shifts.

这些居民警告州政府官员:如果将赔偿的范围扩大到包括新移民及其他边缘化群体,可能会削弱这一运动本身的意义(即削弱其原本旨在纠正历史不公的目标)。

"The Democrats, in a sick way, imported 25 million immigrants. And 70% of them came into poor Black neighborhoods," Muhammad argued in a follow-up interview with Fox News Digital.

一个极左翼组织声称,黑人应该获得赔偿——因为黑人的平均财富水平仅为白人的大约1/15。该组织的支持者奥布里·穆罕默德(Aubrey Muhammad)在采访中指责政客们:由于人口结构的变化,他们将资源从历史悠久的黑人社区转移到了其他群体手中。她在接受福克斯新闻数字频道进一步采访时说:“民主党以一种病态的方式引进了2500万移民,其中70%移民居住在贫困的黑人社区。自20世纪90年代以来,亨普斯特德社区涌入了大量移民,这些移民抢走了原本属于当地黑人的资源。”

"Hempstead, since the '90s, has been flooded with immigrants. That's taking the resources, putting them towards others." Demographic data from the U.S. Census Bureau reflect significant changes in the Village of Hempstead over the last three decades. Today, the community of roughly 59,000 is nearly evenly split between Black residents (43.2%) and Hispanic or Latino residents (45.3%). In 1990, the Hispanic population made up roughly 14% of the village.

美国人口普查局(U.S. Census Bureau)的人口数据显示,亨普斯特德社区在过去三十年里发生了显著变化:如今,该社区约5.9万居民中,黑人占43.2%,西班牙裔或拉丁裔占45.3%;而在1990年,西班牙裔人口仅占该社区的14%。

"That’s why, frankly, I think we're in the situation today, where descendants of slavery in the United States are at the bottom of just about every socioeconomic parameter," Wilcox said.

“这就是为什么,坦率地说,如今美国的奴隶制后遗症仍然影响着所有社会经济领域,导致奴隶制度的后代处于社会底层的原因,”威尔科克斯(Wilcox)指出。

Prince expounded on the issue, arguing that broader social challenges deserve their own dedicated solutions rather than being packaged under the umbrella of reparations.

普林斯进一步阐述了这一观点,他认为当前面临的各种社会问题需要专门的解决方案,而不应被简单地归类为“赔偿问题”。

TRUMP ADMIN VOWS TO STOP REPARATIONS PROGRAMS, ACCUSES OFFICIALS OF 'VIRTUE SIGNALING' TO GET 'VOTES'

特朗普政府承诺终止所有赔偿计划,并指责官员们通过这些计划“展示自己的道德高尚形象”以换取选票。

"What we're finding out coming from the left wing of the political spectrum is that they are conflating reparations with racial justice and social justice.

普林斯表示:“我们从政治左翼人士那里了解到,他们将赔偿计划与种族正义和社会正义混为一谈。虽然这三者表面上看起来相似,但实际上截然不同。当人们误以为‘共同利益’会惠及所有人时,他们就会把奴隶制带来的伤害(如无法乘坐出租车等问题)与公平的移民政策等社会正义问题混为一谈。”美国‘Freedmen Project’的成员在全国各地的公开听证会上积极发声,他们坚持认为:真正的赔偿应该基于血统来实施——仅限于在美国遭受奴役的奴隶的后代。

All three are similar, but they are far from the same," Prince said. "So what happens is when people believe a rising tide lifts all boats … you're conflating repair for the badges and incidents of slavery with discrimination like not being able to catch a cab, or with the social justice of fair immigration policies." Members of the U.S. Freedmen Project have become vocal fixtures at public hearings across the country. They maintain that true reparations must be lineage-based — strictly reserved for direct descendants of enslaved human beings in the United States.

普林斯指出:任何赔偿政策若想避免法律上的争议,就必须严格依据血统而非种族来划分赔偿对象。

Prince argued that for any reparations policy to survive inevitable legal challenges, it must be tied strictly to lineage rather than race.

“民主党总是喜欢将这些议题混在一起,试图组建‘有色人种’联盟。这些政策主要在民主党控制的蓝州推行,而这些地方也正是这些问题最严重的地方。”普林斯强调:“任何政治实体都有责任直接、具体地回应选民的需求;只有这样,才能真正建立起稳固的联盟,而不是强行将不同群体凑在一起、假装他们面临相同的困境和拥有相同的政治诉求。”

"What the Democratic Party loves to do is push them all together to create 'people of color' coalitions. These policies are largely being pushed in blue states, which is also where these issues are happening," Prince said. "There is a responsibility for any political entity to address its constituents directly and, more importantly, specifically — because that's how true coalitions are built, not by cobbling people together and pretending they all have the same plight and political priorities."

新泽西州和纽约州正属于那些积极探索赔偿机制的州和地方政府之一。在伊利诺伊州,芝加哥郊区埃文斯顿成为首个向黑人居民发放政府资助的赔偿金的地区,以此弥补历史上的住房歧视问题。

New Jersey and New York are part of a broader wave of state and municipal governments exploring reparative frameworks. In Illinois, the Chicago suburb of Evanston made headlines as the first city to distribute government-funded reparations to Black residents to remedy historic housing discrimination.

然而,埃文斯顿的这项计划正面临由“司法观察”(Judicial Watch)组织和特朗普政府提起的备受关注的集体诉讼。这些诉讼指控该计划的资格认定标准存在种族歧视,违反了美国宪法第十四修正案中的“平等保护条款”。

However, Evanston’s program faces a high-profile class-action lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch and the Trump administration, alleging the program’s race-based eligibility criteria violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

旧金山的一位法官在听取诉讼相关证据时表示:“要么这项赔偿计划会因违反宪法而受到质疑并被终止(就像埃文斯顿的这项计划正在面临的那样);要么就必须将其改为一个普遍适用的赔偿计划。”

普林斯(Prince)警告说:“那样的话,就根本算不上真正的‘赔偿’。”

SAN FRANCISCO JUDGE NOT CONVINCED REPARATIONS FUND WILL BE DISCRIMINATORY DURING LAWSUIT HEARING "It either becomes something that is unconstitutional and will be challenged and shut down — like Evanston is on its way to being done — or you convert it into a universal program," he said. "That is not reparations," Prince warned.

虽然普林斯认为那些旨在促进社会和种族正义的举措“值得赞赏”,但他重申这些举措不应篡改“赔偿”的法律定义。

While Prince called broader social and racial justice initiatives "admirable," he reiterated that they should not hijack the legal definition of reparations.

普林斯指出:“在我们讨论的背景下,‘赔偿’仅适用于那些曾被奴役、后来获得解放,但仍然遭受歧视和迫害的人——也就是那些美国解放后的黑人。只有这样界定,才能避免任何基于种族的法律争议。”

"Reparations, in the context we're talking about, are only for those that were enslaved, emancipated, and then subject to the badges and incidents thereof," Prince said. "That is the American freedmen. Positioning it that way circumvents any legal challenge based on race."

新泽西州的立法者尚未对福克斯新闻数字频道(Fox News Digital)的评论请求作出回应。

The New Jersey lawmakers did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
