upon the Civil Rights Movement,
Harakati haqida firk yuritar ekan,
dushmanlarimizning so'zlari emas
men bu fikrni o'zimga tadbiq etdim.
va urush ko'rinishida namoyon bo'ladi.
kashf etishga chorlayman.
bo'shlig'ini to'ldiramiz,
shart emasligini tushunishga intilamiz.
have to be sources of shame.
bo'lisha oladigan tinch sinf muhit
4 asosiy tamoyillarni yozdim.
ularni imzolaydi,
at the beginning of the year:
aniq gapir, o'z haqiqatingni so'zla.
o'z haqiqatingni so'zla.
gapirishni so'rar ekanman,
o'z haqiqatimni so'zlashim kerak
haqida ularga ochiq aytishim kerak.
uyg'ayar ekanman, ro'za paytida
nimadandir voz kechish,
deb uqtirilgan edi.
tushungizni isbotidir.
fri-kartoshkani, o'pishish,
voz kechdim.
uni qurbon keltirishim kerak deb o'yladim.
tushunmagandim.
gapim o'rniga ular istagan gapni aytdim,
o'z hayot yo'limni topishim kerak derdim,
sukutimni bilmaslik bilan oqlardim,
do'pposlanganda indamadim,
boshimni egib ketaverardim.
down as if I didn't even notice.
because the bolt on the lock
qulfni eslatardi.
e'tibor ham bermagandim.
Apple telefonim bilan band edim.
touching the screen on my Apple
bir ayol shunday dedi,
bolalarni o'qitish qiyin bo'lsa kerak."
those poor, unintelligent kids,"
we needed her money
hurmatidan ko'ra, pul muhimroq edi.
juda ko'p vaqt ajratamiz,
ko'kragizdan chekinuvchi havo.
Sukunat - Katrina to'foni.
aren't enough body bags left.
quloqqa chalinadigan sado.
eshitiluvchi ovoz.
U imkoniyat. U og'riqdir.
o'ylagani fursat yo'q.
yo'l qo'ymayman.
ma'badisan, deyman.
odamzot inson bo'lishni hohlaydi.
shunchalik zukkoki
tushunishadi,
bir qismini ko'rdim deb
one episode of "The Wire"
qo'rquvim ostida minbar bor kabi.
jamoa minbariga hech xojat yo'q!
