Ⅲ
我是一個肯尼亞黑人和堪薩斯白種女人的兒子，在我的白人祖父母的照料下長大成家人。祖父歷經大蕭條，二戰(zhàn)期間服役于巴頓的部隊；當祖父開赴海外戰(zhàn)場時，祖母在萊文沃斯堡的轟炸機流水線上作業(yè)。我在美國那些最好的學校里讀過書，也在世界上最貧窮公眾的國家里生活過。我娶的是一位黑人婦女，她的血管里流淌著奴隸和奴隸主的血液——而這一血統(tǒng)又遺傳給了我們的兩個寶貝女兒。我的不同種族和膚色的兄弟姐妹、叔伯侄甥們生活在世界的三大洲，而只要我還活著，便永遠不會忘記在這世界上的任何其他國家里我這樣的經歷都不會發(fā)生。
這樣的經歷沒有將我塑造成最傳統(tǒng)的候選人，但它在我的骨子里深深地烙上這樣一個信念：這個國家高于它的各部分的總和，這眾多部分的組合使我們成為真正的一體。

Exercises for integrated skills
I
Race is a concept that is completely societal./In America,race helped?Americans to explain/why some Americans could be denied certain rights and?freedoms /that others never even had to fight for./Since our economy was?largely based on slavery,/it seemed easy to qualify people as black or white,/depending on arbitrary criteria in order to deny blacks rights./That denial of?rights became institutionalized /in government policy as well as everyday living/and became "natural"to the lives of many.
Even though race is only a social construct,/racism and discrimination?are very real/and have existed throughout history./For blacks in this country,/they began as slaves./Even after the slaves were freed and slavery ended,/按公有policies directed against blacks did not end.
