„Kada bi vreme imalo rasu, ona bi bila bela“, kaže teoretičarka kulture Britni Kuper. U ovom govoru koji podstiče na razmišljanje, Kuperova preispituje rasizam i diskriminaciju kroz prizmu vremena, pokazujući nam kako je kroz istoriju vreme ukradeno od obojenih ljudi, što je kao rezultat imalo izgubljene trenutke radosti i povezanosti, izgubljene godine zdravog kvaliteta života i odlaganje napretka.

Šta ako bih vam rekla da vreme ima rasu,
00:13
What if I told you that time has a race,

00:17
a race in the contemporary way
that we understand race
that we understand race

rasu u savremenom smislu
našeg razumevanja rase
našeg razumevanja rase
u Sjedinjenim Državama?
00:20
in the United States?

00:22
Typically, we talk about race
in terms of black and white issues.
in terms of black and white issues.

Obično govorimo o rasi
u vezi sa problemima crnaca i belaca.
u vezi sa problemima crnaca i belaca.
U afroameričkim zajednicama
iz kojih ja potičem,
iz kojih ja potičem,
00:27
In the African-American communities
from which I come,
from which I come,
4
15546
2856
imamo dugoprisutnu višegeneracijsku šalu
00:30
we have a long-standing
multi-generational joke
multi-generational joke
5
18426
2792
00:33
about what we call "CP time,"
6
21242
2537
o onome što nazivamo „vreme za OLj“
00:35
or "colored people's time."
7
23803
1873
ili „vreme za obojene ljude“.
00:38
Now, we no longer refer
to African-Americans as "colored,"
to African-Americans as "colored,"
8
26259
3281
Više ne govorimo
o Afroamerikancima kao „obojenima“,
o Afroamerikancima kao „obojenima“,
00:41
but this long-standing joke
9
29564
1762
ali ova stara šala
00:43
about our perpetual lateness to church,
10
31350
2373
o našem stalnom kašnjenju u crkvu,
na izlete, na porodična dešavanja,
00:45
to cookouts, to family events
11
33747
1682
00:47
and even to our own funerals, remains.
12
35453
2617
pa čak i na sopstvenu sahranu,
nastavlja da traje.
nastavlja da traje.
Lično sam cepidlaka za vreme.
00:51
I personally am a stickler for time.
13
39116
2814
Kao da je moja majka
rekla dok sam odrastala:
rekla dok sam odrastala:
00:53
It's almost as if my mother,
when I was growing up, said,
when I was growing up, said,
14
41954
2688
„Nećemo biti takvi crnci.“
00:56
"We will not be those black people."
15
44666
1926
Tako da obično stižemo na događaje
30 minuta ranije.
30 minuta ranije.
00:58
So we typically arrive to events
30 minutes early.
30 minutes early.
16
46616
2665
01:02
But today, I want to talk to you
more about the political nature of time,
more about the political nature of time,
17
50198
4877
Ali danas želim da vam govorim
više o političkoj prirodi vremena,
više o političkoj prirodi vremena,
01:07
for if time had a race,
18
55099
1919
jer kada bi vreme imalo rasu,
ona bi bila bela.
01:09
it would be white.
19
57042
1338
01:11
White people own time.
20
59063
2264
Belci poseduju vreme.
01:14
I know, I know.
21
62321
1718
Znam, znam.
01:16
Making such "incendiary statements"
makes us uncomfortable:
makes us uncomfortable:
22
64063
3872
Usled iznošenja takvih „zapaljivih izjava“
osećamo se neprijatno.
osećamo se neprijatno.
01:20
Haven't we moved past the point
where race really matters?
where race really matters?
23
68614
3737
Zar nismo prevazišli tu tačku
u kojoj je rasa stvarno bitna?
u kojoj je rasa stvarno bitna?
01:24
Isn't race a heavy-handed concept?
24
72755
2707
Zar rasa nije grub koncept?
Zar ne treba da krenemo napred
sa svojom prosvetljenošću i progresivnoću
sa svojom prosvetljenošću i progresivnoću
01:27
Shouldn't we go ahead
with our enlightened, progressive selves
with our enlightened, progressive selves
25
75970
3047
01:31
and relegate useless concepts like race
to the dustbins of history?
to the dustbins of history?
26
79041
3635
i odstranimo beskorisne koncepte
poput rase na smetlište istorije?
poput rase na smetlište istorije?
Kako ćemo ikada prebroditi rasizam
ako nastavimo da govorimo o rasi?
ako nastavimo da govorimo o rasi?
01:35
How will we ever get over racism
if we keep on talking about race?
if we keep on talking about race?
27
83130
4642
01:41
Perhaps we should lock up our concepts
of race in a time capsule,
of race in a time capsule,
28
89779
3584
Možda bi trebalo da zaključamo
svoje koncepte rase u vremensku kapsulu,
svoje koncepte rase u vremensku kapsulu,
01:45
bury them and dig them up
in a thousand years,
in a thousand years,
29
93387
2921
zakopamo ih i iskopamo za hiljadu godina,
01:48
peer at them with the clearly
more enlightened,
more enlightened,
30
96332
2368
sagledavajući ih uz jasno prosvetljeniju,
01:50
raceless versions of ourselves
that belong to the future.
that belong to the future.
31
98724
2991
bezrasnu verziju nas samih
koja pripada budućnosti.
koja pripada budućnosti.
Međutim, vidite,
01:54
But you see there,
32
102497
1294
01:55
that desire to mitigate the impact
of race and racism shows up
of race and racism shows up
33
103815
4591
ta želja da ublažimo uticaj rase i rasizma
prikazuje se u načinu
na koji pokušavamo da upravljamo vremenom,
na koji pokušavamo da upravljamo vremenom,
02:00
in how we attempt to manage time,
34
108430
2314
02:02
in the ways we narrate history,
35
110768
2060
u načinu na koji pričamo istoriju,
u načinima na koje pokušavamo
02:04
in the ways we attempt to shove
the negative truths of the present
the negative truths of the present
36
112852
3146
da gurnemo negativne istine
o sadašnjosti u prošlost,
o sadašnjosti u prošlost,
02:08
into the past,
37
116022
1158
u načinima na koje pokušavamo
da tvrdimo da je budućnost kojoj se nadamo
da tvrdimo da je budućnost kojoj se nadamo
02:09
in the ways we attempt to argue
that the future that we hope for
that the future that we hope for
38
117204
3056
02:12
is the present in which
we're currently living.
we're currently living.
39
120284
2212
sadašnjost u kojoj trenutno živimo.
02:15
Now, when Barack Obama
became President of the US in 2008,
became President of the US in 2008,
40
123389
3142
Kada je Barak Obama
postao predsednik SAD 2008. godine,
postao predsednik SAD 2008. godine,
02:18
many Americans declared
that we were post-racial.
that we were post-racial.
41
126555
2990
mnogi Amerikanci su izjavili
da smo „postrasni“.
da smo „postrasni“.
Ja sam sa akademije
02:22
I'm from the academy
42
130340
1289
02:23
where we're enamored
with being post-everything.
with being post-everything.
43
131653
2431
gde smo oduševljeni
time da smo „post“ svega.
time da smo „post“ svega.
02:26
We're postmodern, we're post-structural,
we're post-feminist.
we're post-feminist.
44
134484
4142
Postmoderni smo, poststrukturalni,
postfeministički.
postfeministički.
„Post“ je postao
jednostavan akademski dodatak
jednostavan akademski dodatak
02:31
"Post" has become
a simple academic appendage
a simple academic appendage
45
139373
2432
koji primenjujemo na niz termina
02:33
that we apply to a range of terms
46
141829
1940
02:35
to mark the way we were.
47
143793
1614
da bismo naznačili kakvi smo bili.
02:38
But prefixes alone don't have the power
to make race and racism
to make race and racism
48
146335
4152
Ipak, prefiksi sami po sebi nemaju moć
da učine rasu i rasizam
stvarima prošlosti.
stvarima prošlosti.
02:42
a thing of the past.
49
150511
1760
SAD nikada nisu bile „prerasne“.
02:44
The US was never "pre-race."
50
152295
1962
Dakle, tvrdnja da smo postrasni,
02:46
So to claim that we're post-race when we
have yet to grapple with the impact
have yet to grapple with the impact
51
154939
3891
kada tek treba da se borimo
sa uticajem rase na crnce,
sa uticajem rase na crnce,
02:50
of race on black people,
Latinos or the indigenous
Latinos or the indigenous
52
158854
2898
Latinoamerikance i urođeničke narode
02:53
is disingenuous.
53
161776
1602
je neiskrena.
02:56
Just about the moment
we were preparing to celebrate
we were preparing to celebrate
54
164082
2869
Baš u trenutku kada smo se spremali
da proslavimo svoju postrasnu budućnost,
02:58
our post-racial future,
55
166975
1371
03:00
our political conditions became
the most racial they've been
the most racial they've been
56
168370
2955
naši politički uslovi su postali rasni
najviše što su bili u proteklih 50 godina.
najviše što su bili u proteklih 50 godina.
03:03
in the last 50 years.
57
171349
1342
03:05
So today, I want to offer to you
three observations,
three observations,
58
173429
3533
Danas želim da vam iznesem tri zapažanja
03:08
about the past, the present
and the future of time,
and the future of time,
59
176986
3386
o prošlosti, sadašnjosti
i budućnosti vremena,
i budućnosti vremena,
03:12
as it relates to the combating
of racism and white dominance.
of racism and white dominance.
60
180396
4119
što se tiče borbe protiv rasizma
i dominacije bele rase.
i dominacije bele rase.
03:16
First: the past.
61
184997
1980
Prvo, prošlost.
03:19
Time has a history,
62
187802
1887
Vreme ima istoriju,
kao i crnci.
03:21
and so do black people.
63
189713
1967
Ali mi se ophodimo prema vremenu
kao da je neograničeno,
kao da je neograničeno,
03:23
But we treat time as though
it is timeless,
it is timeless,
64
191704
2666
03:26
as though it has always been this way,
65
194394
2404
kao da je uvek bilo ovako,
03:28
as though it doesn't have
a political history
a political history
66
196822
2289
kao da nema političku istoriju
vezanu za pljačku zemlje starosedelaca,
03:31
bound up with the plunder
of indigenous lands,
of indigenous lands,
67
199135
2210
genocid domaćih naroda
03:33
the genocide of indigenous people
68
201369
1949
03:35
and the stealing of Africans
from their homeland.
from their homeland.
69
203342
2650
i krađu Afrikanaca iz svoje domovine.
Kada su beli evropski filozofi
muškog roda prvi put pomislili
muškog roda prvi put pomislili
03:38
When white male European philosophers
70
206982
1876
03:40
first thought to conceptualize
time and history, one famously declared,
time and history, one famously declared,
71
208882
5000
da osmisle vreme i istoriju,
poznato je da je jedan izjavio:
poznato je da je jedan izjavio:
03:45
"[Africa] is no historical
part of the World."
part of the World."
72
213906
3543
„Afrika nije istorijski deo sveta.“
03:50
He was essentially saying
73
218470
1574
U suštini je govorio
da su Afrikanci ljudi izvan istorije
da su Afrikanci ljudi izvan istorije
03:52
that Africans were people
outside of history
outside of history
74
220068
2367
koji nisu imali uticaj na vreme
03:54
who had had no impact on time
75
222459
2486
03:56
or the march of progress.
76
224969
1649
niti ubrzano kretanje napretka.
03:59
This idea, that black people
have had no impact on history,
have had no impact on history,
77
227103
4445
Ova ideja da ljudi crne rase
nisu imali nikakav uticaj na istoriju
nisu imali nikakav uticaj na istoriju
04:03
is one of the foundational ideas
of white supremacy.
of white supremacy.
78
231572
3472
jedna je od temeljnih ideja
za uverenje o superiornosti bele rase.
za uverenje o superiornosti bele rase.
04:07
It's the reason that Carter G. Woodson
created "Negro History Week" in 1926.
created "Negro History Week" in 1926.
79
235068
4834
Razlog je tome što je Karter G. Vudson
1926. stvorio „nedelju crnačke istorije“.
1926. stvorio „nedelju crnačke istorije“.
04:11
It's the reason that we continue
to celebrate Black History Month
to celebrate Black History Month
80
239926
3115
Razlog je tome što nastavljamo
da slavimo mesec crnačke istorije
da slavimo mesec crnačke istorije
04:15
in the US every February.
81
243065
2568
u SAD svakog februara.
04:18
Now, we also see this idea
82
246780
2350
Takođe vidimo ideju da su crnci narod
04:21
that black people are people either
alternately outside of the bounds of time
alternately outside of the bounds of time
83
249154
4523
koji je naizmenično
ili izvan granica vremena
ili izvan granica vremena
04:25
or stuck in the past,
84
253701
1508
ili zarobljen u prošlosti,
04:27
in a scenario where,
much as I'm doing right now,
much as I'm doing right now,
85
255233
2875
u scenariju u kome, kao što ja radim sada,
04:30
a black person stands up and insists
that racism still matters,
that racism still matters,
86
258132
4126
osoba crne rase ustane i insistira
da je rasizam i dalje bitan,
da je rasizam i dalje bitan,
04:34
and a person, usually white,
87
262282
2326
a neka osoba, obično bele rase,
joj kaže: „Zašto si zatočen u prošlosti?
04:36
says to them,
88
264632
1166
04:37
"Why are you stuck in the past?
89
265822
1564
Zašto ne možeš da nastaviš?
04:39
Why can't you move on?
90
267782
1477
04:42
We have a black president.
91
270087
1904
Imamo crnog predsednika.
04:44
We're past all that."
92
272015
1426
Prevazišli smo sve to.“
04:46
William Faulkner famously said,
93
274751
2209
Poznato je da je Vilijem Fokner rekao:
04:48
"The past is never dead.
94
276984
2095
„Prošlost nikada nije mrtva.
04:51
It's not even past."
95
279103
1512
Nije čak nikada ni prošla.“
04:53
But my good friend
Professor Kristie Dotson says,
Professor Kristie Dotson says,
96
281996
3089
Ali moja dobra prijateljica
profesorka Kristi Dotson kaže:
profesorka Kristi Dotson kaže:
04:57
"Our memory is longer than our lifespan."
97
285109
3249
„Naše pamćenje traje duže
od našeg životnog veka.“
od našeg životnog veka.“
05:01
We carry, all of us,

289204
2302
Svi mi nosimo nade i snove
porodice i zajednice sa sobom.
porodice i zajednice sa sobom.
05:03
family and communal
hopes and dreams with us.
hopes and dreams with us.
99
291530
3701
05:09
We don't have the luxury
of letting go of the past.
of letting go of the past.
100
297080
4882
Nemamo taj luksuz da oslobodimo prošlost.
05:13
But sometimes,
101
301986
1919
Međutim, ponekad,
naša politička situacija toliko zabrinjava
05:15
our political conditions are so troubling
102
303929
1985
05:17
that we don't know
if we're living in the past
if we're living in the past
103
305938
2189
da ne znamo da li živimo
u prošlosti ili sadašnjosti.
u prošlosti ili sadašnjosti.
05:20
or we're living in the present.
104
308151
2093
Uzmite, na primer, kada demonstranti
pokreta „Životi crnaca su važni“
pokreta „Životi crnaca su važni“
05:22
Take, for instance,
when Black Lives Matter protesters
when Black Lives Matter protesters
105
310268
2675
05:24
go out to protest unjust killings
of black citizens by police,
of black citizens by police,
106
312967
4021
izađu da protestuju
protiv nepravednih ubistava
protiv nepravednih ubistava
crnih građana od strane policije,
05:29
and the pictures that emerge
from the protest
from the protest
107
317012
3101
a slike koje se pojave sa protesta
05:32
look like they could have been
taken 50 years ago.
taken 50 years ago.
108
320137
2563
izgledaju kao da su mogle
biti uslikane pre 50 godina.
biti uslikane pre 50 godina.
05:35
The past won't let us go.
109
323795
2198
Prošlost neće da nas pusti.
05:38
But still, let us press our way
into the present.
into the present.
110
326696
3951
Ipak, hajde da se probijemo u sadašnjost.
05:43
At present, I would argue
111
331537
2432
U sadašnjosti, rekla bih
05:45
that the racial struggles
we are experiencing
we are experiencing
112
333993
2337
da rasne borbe koje doživljavamo
05:48
are clashes over time and space.
113
336354
3077
predstavljaju sukobe
nad vremenom i prostorom.
nad vremenom i prostorom.
05:52
What do I mean?
114
340185
1385
Kako to mislim?
05:54
Well, I've already told you
that white people own time.
that white people own time.
115
342300
2919
Pa, već sam vam rekla
da belci poseduju vreme.
da belci poseduju vreme.
05:57
Those in power dictate
the pace of the workday.
the pace of the workday.
116
345842
3075
Oni koji su na snazi diktiraju
dinamiku radnog dana.
dinamiku radnog dana.
06:01
They dictate how much money
our time is actually worth.
our time is actually worth.
117
349593
3389
Diktiraju koliko novca
naše vreme zapravo zavređuje.
naše vreme zapravo zavređuje.
