- 4 мин. чтения - количество слов: 682Из моей следующей статьи, где я упоминаю людей которые не сидели и терпели, а что-то предпринимали. Так как сегодня день МЛК, вот вырезка о нем из моего текста: Мартин Лютер Кинг младший (MLK) был выдающимся лидером борьбы за гражданские права, решительно противостоящим расизму в США в 20-м веке. В эпоху, когда расовая сегрегация была не только повсеместной, но и закрепленной на законодательном уровне, Кинг оспаривал существующие нормы, неуклонно веря в неотъемлемое достоинство и права каждого человека.
Философия Кинга была глубоко основана на принципах индивидуальных прав и индивидуализма. В своей знаменитой речи «У меня есть мечта» он изложил видение общества, в котором людей оценивают исключительно по содержанию их характера, а не по цвету кожи. Эта идея отражала его убеждение, что ценность человека определяется не его ассоциацией с какой-либо группой, а его личными ценностями, выборами и поступками.
Those who have hopes for a SEZ, should know, that the government will come for it as soon as it’s successful, in order to force it down on its knees (altruism). In the first 14 years, the Freeport Bahamas SEZ showed spectacular economic success, despite regulations imposed on it by the Crown. For gov’t required it to build schools, medical facilities, provide free accomodation and above market salaries to gov’t employees, to report on all imported goods, to prefer hiring local Bahamians as employees in factories and businesses. Yet, Freeport’s success was a sore eye to Bahamians. The Prime Minister of Bahamas gave this speech in 1969, in which he is blackmailing the businessemen like this (my inserts are in square brakets): There are many people in the Bahamas who are participants in and interested in economic development of the Bahamas. Not all of them, however, are cognisant of or interested in the economic and social welfare of the Bahamian people. Far too few acknowledge and fewer still accept the fact that development must be shaped to fit the human and social needs of the country where it takes place. Far too many here adopt the attitude that they have certain guaranteed rights to make money and that is all that matters. Freeport had indeed been a miracle of economic development; it has indeed been a shining example of financial wizardry. What it lacks is humanity [altruism]: what it needs is a social conscience: what it must have, before too long, is a soul [readiness to self-sacrifice].
I have always been concerned about the lack of soul in Freeport, the absence of honest concern for the human and social needs of people [whom no one is interested to hire on merits]. I was so concerned in the days when I stood almost alone. I had hoped that an early change would have been evident by now but I have been severely disappointed. It is a fundamental part of my basic political philosophy that people are more important than things [that losers are more important than the producers]; that men are more important than machines. In this Commonwealth of Islands that philosophy can quite fairly be interpreted to mean that Bahamian people are more important than things [uneducated locals are more important than educated immigrants]: that Bahamian men are more important than machines. [machines being a euphemism for productive, able producers, businessmen, immigrants, etc.]
In this city where, regrettably, almost anything goes, where promisingly, some economic opportunities have come to Bahamians, Bahamians on nevertheless still the victim of a unbending social order which, if it now refuses to bend, must be broken. [If you don’t bend to the will of the needy, I will break you and make you kneel.]
