以下转发纽约游行中朗读宣言的黑衣大姐的信,希望能澄清某些模糊的认识。
Thank you for yr comment and suggestion. U have some very good points here
in the letter. I personally appreciate yr time and thoughts offered here to
write such a nice long message.
However, in my humble point of view, I don't see the following : (pls tell
me if u disagree)
1) There was absolutely no, NONE, remorse in Kimmel when he did his so-
called apologies. If there was any, I couldn't see it nor could I feel it.
He was in the show business. He knew how to act. He didn't even care to
act that he's sorry.
2) As of this minute, he was still saying (in all his so-called apologies),
"This is entertainment. I am sorry that u guys didn't feel it that way."
NO, WE DON'T! Why would killing be entertaining??? And, out of nowhere, he
even remarked, " Should we let the Chinese live?"
3) To me, an apology has to be sincere. It has to be addressed to the
PEOPLE to whom u have done something wrong. Moreover, a formal apology
needs to state what has been done wrong and it will not happen again. On
all the so-called apologies, did he even mention the word : "Chinese"???
Did he actually say to us, "I m terribly sorry to all of you Chinese people
that my statements had hurt you and I realized these remarks were totally
wrong?!" He just continues to say, "This is entertainment." It's not an
apology. He's only re-stating why he was saying those things - to entertain
. How can anyone even THINK those were apologies?
4) If u have read the so-called apology letter to 80-20, u will realize it
was not a well written formal letter of apology. It's from ABC! There r
tons of people who know how to write. It's not impressive at all! And,
look at the people who signed the letter. The one who's in charge of late
night shows may be acceptable. The other one, I don't know who that is.
And, to me, they r not even high officials who should stand out to accept
their wrong doings.
5) During one of the interviews, Kimmel was asked to resign. If he was
someone at least with a brain, he would avoid answering this. Instead, he
said, "Oh, u can stand outside all day long, this is not happening!" Can't
u see how arrogant he is??? That's why, after seeing all these so-called
apologies, I m getting more ANGRY. Yes, ANGRY is the word. And, I m
totally convinced that he should go. No, he's not resigning! HE MUST BE
FIRED!!!
I really would not want to over-react so as, as u put it : getting back-
fired. Yet, I m not slightly convinced that we have achieved what we r
looking for - a formal & sincere apology from Kimmel and the producer and
ABC, on the show, specifically addressing to us - the Chinese people all
over the world, that have said something awfully wrong and hurt us
tremendously!!! After this insult and hurt, it's not easy to forgive and to
forget but we would try!!!
Salute to all of us!
