2015eko otsailaren 10ean Suzanne Barakat-en neba Deah, koinata Yusor eta Yusor-en ahizpa Razan beren bizilagunaren eskuetan erailak izan ziren, Chapel Hill.en, Ipar Carolinan. Gaizkilearen bertsioa, trafiko liskar baten ondorioz erail zituela, inongo galderarik egin gabe zabaldu zen poliziaren eta komunikabideen eskutik. Barakat-ek prentsaurreko batean hitz egin zuen arte, eta gauzei bere izenez deitu zien arte: gorroto krimenak. Berak eta familiak istorioaren kontaketaren kontrola nola lortu zuten kontatzen digu, eta gorrotoz beteriko fanatismoaren aurrean hitz egiteko eta diskriminazioa jasaten dutenekiko gure laguntasuna erakusteko eskatzen digu.

The least we can do is talk about it,

10:47
I was disheartened.

Gogorik gabe nengoen.

Days later rounding on the same patient,

11:04
I realize that yet again,
236
652865
1730
Konturatu nintzen berriro ere,
11:06
I have to speak up for myself.
237
654619
1775
niregatik hitz egin behar nuela.
11:09
I sit on her bed and gently ask her,
238
657800

Bere ohean eseri eta modu atseginean galdetu nion,
11:12
"Have I ever done anything
but treat you with respect and kindness?

She looks down and realizes

eta talde osoaren aurrean,
11:25
she apologizes and says,
243
673361
1516
barkamena eskatu eta esan zuen:

"I should know better.
I'm Mexican-American.

Baliteke zuek ere jasan izana,

We can all agree that bigotry
is unacceptable,
is unacceptable,
256
707466
3119
Guztiok ados gaude fanatismoa onartezina dela,

baina hura ikustean,
12:03
we're silent,

isilik egoten gara,
12:05
because it makes us uncomfortable.
259
713029

ezeroso sentiarazten gaituelako.
12:07
But stepping right into that discomfort

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Suzanne Barakat - PhysicianWith a voice amplified by unthinkable personal tragedy, Suzanne Barakat speaks out against bigotry and violence against those society deems "different."
Why you should listen
On February 10, 2015, San Francisco doctor Suzanne Barakat received shattering news -- that her brother, Deah Barakat, his wife, Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, and her sister Razan, had been shot and killed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. In spite of the noncommittal reaction of the police, Barakat recognized the shooting for what it really was -- a hate crime.
Since then, Barakat's mission has been to counter Islamophobia with her message of inclusivity, while sounding the alarm that unless we can stem the tide of hate, anyone who society marginalizes as “other” faces an increased risk of violence.
