| 説明 | Artomatic For The People, 2017www.artomatic.org/“An Irish scholar named John Elliott Cairnes turned his eye to America in 1861, just before the outbreak of the Civil War. This was a time when the Confederacy, quite shrewdly, was trying to convince Britain and France to float over and help smash Lincoln and his imperial desires to infringe on their states’ rights. Cairnes was an incredible investigator—think of Alexis de Tocqueville, but on a mission to analyze America’s racial hang-ups. In his research, he was most struck by slavery. Not that it existed—he knew that slavery had existed throughout history. But he was shocked at America’s particular innovation: racial branding. In ancient Greece, a man might have been a slave, but his child was automatically born free, and there was no correlation between skin color and free status. But the Americans had developed something new and vile; Cairnes posited that by linking color to slavery America had infected itself with something that—regardless of who would win the coming war—would last for generations.” ―Maurice Carlos Ruffinwww.vqronline.org/essays-articles/2016/10/fine-dining |
