You can ask anyone you want,
1
12667
4059
Možete pitati koga god želite
00:16
and they will tell you
2
16750
1684
i reći će vam da su siti borbe za pravdu.
00:18
that they are sick and tired of fighting for justice.
3

00:24
People of color and members of the LGBT community are tired
4
24417
6101
Pripadnici crne rase i LGBT zajednice su siti
00:30
of carrying the burden of speaking up
5
30542
2976
toga što su uvek oni ti
koji moraju da se zalažu
00:33
and stepping up
6
33542
1684
i istupaju
00:35
even when they're being silenced
7
35250
2226
čak i kada ih drugi ućutkuju
00:37
and pushed back down.
8
37500
2143
i potiskuju.
00:39
And white allies
9
39667
1809
Beli saveznici
00:41
and cis allies are tired, too.
10
41500
2542
i cis saveznici su siti takođe.
Siti toga da im se govori da postupaju pogrešno
00:45
Tired of being told they're doing it wrong
11
45000
3309
00:48
or that it isn't even their place to show up at all.
12
48333
3417
ili da ih se ova tema uopšte ni ne tiče.
00:52
This fatigue is impacting all of us.
13
52542
4351
Ta zasićenost utiče na sve nas.
00:56
And in fact,
14
56917
1559
Zapravo,
00:58
I believe we won't succeed
15
58500
2768
verujem da nećemo uspeti
01:01
until we approach justice in a new way.
16
61292
3500
ukoliko ne pristupimo pravdi na drugi način.
01:05
I grew up in the middle of the civil rights movement
17
65750
4601
Odrasla sam usred pokreta za građanska prava
01:10
in the segregated South.
18
70375
1958
na rasno segregisanom jugu Amerike.
01:13
As a five-year-old girl,
19
73375
1768
Kao petogodišnja devojčica
01:15
I was very interested in ballet.
20
75167
3184
bila sam vrlo zainteresovana za balet.
01:18
It seemed to be the five-year-old-girl thing to do in the 1960s.
21
78375
4625
To je, izgleda, bilo često za petogodišnjakinje '60-ih godina.
01:23
My mother took me to a ballet school.
22
83833
3167
Mama me je odvela u školu baleta.
01:27
You know, the kind of school that had teachers
23
87583
2226
Jednu od onih škola
u kojima profesorke govore o tvom talentu
01:29
that talked about your gifts and talents
24
89833
1935
01:31
knowing that you'd never be a ballerina.
25
91792
2226
znajući da nikada nećes postati balerina.
01:34
(Laughter)
26
94042
2142
(Smeh)
01:36
When we arrived,
27
96208
1351
Kada smo stigle
01:37
they said nicely that they "did not accept Negroes."
28
97583
4834
ljubazno su nam rekli da ne prihvataju crnce.
01:43
We got back in the car as if we were just leaving a grocery store
29
103458
3768
Vratile smo se u auto kao da se vraćamo iz prodavnice
01:47
that was out of orange juice.
30
107250
2042
u kojoj je nestalo soka od pomorandže.
Ništa nismo rekle.
01:50
We said nothing ...
31
110000
2851
01:52
just drove to the next ballet school.
32
112875
2542
Samo smo se odvezle do sledeće škole baleta.
01:56
They said, "We don't accept Negroes."
33
116333
4584
Rekli su: „Ne prihvatamo crnce.”
02:01
Well, I was confused.
34
121625
2393
Bogami, bila sam zbunjena.
02:04
And I asked my mother why they didn't want me.
35
124042
3416
Pitala sam mamu zašto me nisu želeli.
02:08
And she said, "Well, they're just not smart enough to accept you right now,
36
128208
4560
Odgovorila je:
„Pa, nisu dovoljno pametni da te prihvate,
02:12
and they don't know how excellent you are."
37
132792
2059
i ne znaju koliko si sjajna.”
02:14
(Cheers)
38
134875
1268
(Ovacije)
02:16
(Applause and cheers)
39
136167
3583
(Aplauz i ovacije)
02:21
Well, I didn't know what that meant.
40
141083
3643
Hm, ja nisam znala šta to znači.
02:24
(Laughter)
41
144750
1726
(Smeh)
02:26
But I was sure it wasn't good,
42
146500
2768
Međutim, bila sam sigurna da nije dobro,
02:29
because I could see it in my mother's eyes.
43
149292
2934
jer sam primetila u maminim očima.
02:32
She was angry,
44
152250
3268
Bila je ljuta,
02:35
and it looked like she was on the verge of tears.
45
155542
2625
izgledalo je kao da je na ivici suza.
02:39
Well, I decided right then and right there
46
159125
3726
Istog trena sam odlučila
02:42
that ballet was dumb.
47
162875
2292
da je balet glup.
02:45
(Laughter)
48
165542
1375
(Smeh)
02:47
You know, I had lots of experiences like that along the way,
49
167917
3101
Imala sam dosta sličnih iskustava
02:51
but as I got older,
50
171042
2017
ali kako sam odrastala
02:53
I started to get angry.
51
173083
2518
počela sam da se ljutim.
02:55
And not just angry at the outright racism and injustice.
52
175625
4476
Ne samo zbog rasizma i nepravde,
03:00
I was angry at people that stood by and didn't say anything.
53
180125
3917
već i na ljude koji su to posmatrali a ništa nisu rekli.
Zašto nisu beli roditelji u školi baleta rekli:
03:05
Like, why didn't the white parents in that ballet school say
54
185000
4893
03:09
"Uh, that's wrong.
55
189917
2017
„Ovo je pogrešno.
03:11
Let that little girl dance."
56
191958
1667
Pustite devojčicu da pleše."
03:14
Or why --
57
194708
1268
Ili zašto...
03:16
(Applause)
58
196000
1309
(Aplauz)
03:17
Why didn't the white patrons in the segregated restaurants say
59
197333
3310
Zašto beli klijenti u segregisanim restoranima
03:20
"Hey, that's not right.
60
200667
1726
nisu rekli: „Hej, to nije ispravno.
03:22
Let that family eat."
61
202417
1750
Pustite tu porodicu da jede."
03:24
Well, it didn't take me long to realize
62
204958
2226
Nije mi trebalo mnogo da shvatim
03:27
that racial injustice wasn't the only place
63
207208
3518
da rasna nepravda nije bila jedina
03:30
that people in the majority were staying quiet.
64
210750
3601
gde su ljudi u većini ćutali.
03:34
When I'd sit in church and hear some homophobic comment
65
214375
3143
Kada bih u crkvi čula homofobičan komentar
03:37
being disguised as something scriptural,
66
217542
2059
podržan biblijskim kontekstom
03:39
I'd say, "I'm sorry,
67
219625
2893
rekla bih: „Izvinite,
03:42
why aren't the heterosexual churchgoers disrupting this nonsense?"
68
222542
4809
zašto heteroseksualci ne kažu nešto protiv ove gluposti?"
03:47
(Applause)
69
227375
2643
(Aplauz)
03:50
Or ...
70
230042
1250
Ili...
03:52
in a room filled with boomers and Gen-Xers
71
232292
4017
U sobi punoj bebi bumera i generacije X
03:56
who started degrading their millennial colleagues
72
236333
2685
koji omalovažavaju generaciju milenijalaca
03:59
as being spoiled, lazy and overconfident,
73
239042
2892
govoreći da su razmaženi, lenji, puni sebe
04:01
I'd say, "I'm sorry,
74
241958
2976
rekla bih: „Izvinite,
04:04
why isn't someone my age saying 'stop stereotyping?'"
75
244958
4250
zašto neko mojih godina ne kaže da je dosta stereotipa?"
04:09
(Audience) Yes!
76
249667
1267
(Publika) Da!
04:10
(Applause)
77
250958
3185
(Aplauz)
04:14
I was used to standing up on issues like this,
78
254167
3726
Uvek sam se zalagala za ova pitanja,
04:17
but why wasn't everyone else?
79
257917
2625
ali zašto nisu i svi ostali?
04:21
My fifth grade teacher,
80
261625
1893
Moja učiteljica iz petog razreda,
04:23
Mrs. McFarland,
81
263542
1851
Gđa MekFarland,
04:25
taught me that justice requires an accomplice.
82
265417
5125
naučila me je da je za pravdu potreban saučesnik.
04:31
Not just anyone will do.
83
271250
3059
Ali ne bilo kakav.
04:34
She said we need unlikely allies
84
274333
4143
Rekla je da su nam potrebni neočekivani saveznici
04:38
if we want to see real change happen.
85
278500
3059
ako želimo da vidimo prave promene.
04:41
And for those of us experiencing injustice up front,
86
281583
5351
Mi koji lično doživljavamo nepravdu
04:46
we need to be willing to accept the help,
87
286958
3226
moramo da budemo spremni da prihvatimo pomoć,
04:50
because when we don't,
88
290208
2726
jer kad je ne prihvatimo,
04:52
change takes too long.
89
292958
2125
proces promene traje predugo.
04:56
I mean, imagine if heterosexual and gay people had not come together
90
296083
3685
Zamislite da se heteroseksualci i homoseksualci
nisu udružili u borbi za gej brakove.
04:59
under the banner of marriage equality.
91
299792
3059
05:02
Or what if President Kennedy
92
302875
2351
Ili da predsednik Kenedi
05:05
just wasn't interested in the civil rights movement?
93
305250
2833
nije bio zainteresovan za pokret za građanska prava?
05:09
Most of our major movements in this country might have been delayed
94
309125
5684
Većina pokreta u Americi
bi se odložila ili bi zamrla
05:14
or even dead
95
314833
1893
05:16
if it weren't for the presence of unlikely allies.
96
316750
4292
da nije bilo neočekivanih saveznika.
05:22
When the same people speak up
97
322083
2268
Ukoliko se isti ljudi zalažu
05:24
in the same ways they've always spoken up,
98
324375
3226
na isti način kao i uvek,
05:27
the most we'll ever get are the same results
99
327625
2809
uvek će postizati iste rezultate.
05:30
over and over again.
100
330458
2584
05:33
You know, allies often stand on the sidelines
101
333833
2768
Znate, saveznici često sede sa strane
05:36
waiting to be called up.
102
336625
2476
i čekaju da ih neko pozove.
05:39
But what if unlikely allies led out in front of issues?
103
339125
4893
Ali šta bi bilo kada bi neočekivani saveznici bili na čelu borbe?
05:44
Like ...
104
344042
1351
Na primer...
05:45
what if Black and Native American people stood in front of immigration issues?
105
345417
4000
Kada bi crni i izvorni Amerikanci vodili pitanje imigracije?
05:51
(Applause)
106
351000
1917
(Aplauz)
05:54
Or what if white people led the charge
107
354208
4435
Ili kada bi beli ljudi vodili borbu
05:58
to end racism?
108
358667
2017
da se dovede kraj rasizmu?
06:00
(Applause and cheers)
109
360708
4000
(Aplauz i ovacije)
06:05
Or ...
110
365625
1351
Ili...
Ako bi muškarci vodili borbu za jednake zarade oba pola?
06:07
what if men led the charge on pay equity for women?
111
367000
4476
06:11
(Applause and cheers)
112
371500
3976
(Aplauz i ovacije)
06:15
Or ...
113
375500
1434
Ili...
06:16
what if heterosexual people stood in front of LGBTQ issues?
114
376958
5768
Ako bi heteroseksualci bili na čelu borbe za LGBT pitanja?
06:22
(Applause and cheers)
115
382750
4101
(Aplauz i ovacije)
06:26
And what if able-bodied people advocated
116
386875
3768
I ako bi se osobe sa neoštećenim motornim sposobnostima
06:30
for people living with disabilities?
117
390667
2559
borile za hendikepirana lica?
06:33
(Applause and cheers)
118
393250
3851
(Aplauz i ovacije)
06:37
You know, we can stand up for issues,
119
397125
2643
Možemo da se založimo za pojedina pitanja
06:39
weigh in and advocate
120
399792
2309
i da se borimo
06:42
even when it seems like the issue has nothing to do with us.
121
402125
4250
čak i kada nas se problem naizgled ne tiče.
06:47
And actually,
122
407125
1309
To su, u suštini,
06:48
those are the issues that are most compelling.
123
408458
3226
najprimamljiviji problemi.
06:51
And sure,
124
411708
1500
Dobro, da,
06:53
people will have no idea why you are there,
125
413917
4101
ljudima neće biti jasno otkud vi tu,
06:58
but that's why those of us facing injustice
126
418042
3309
ali upravo zbog toga mi koji trpimo nepravdu
07:01
must be willing to accept the help.
127
421375
2893
moramo da prihvatimo pomoć.
07:04
You know, we have to fight injustice
128
424292
2934
Moramo se boriti protiv nepravde
07:07
with a consciousness of grace.
129
427250
2292
dostojanstveno.
07:10
When white guys stand up to fight
130
430667
2559
Kada ljudi bele rase krenu da se bore
07:13
for the liberation of Black and Brown people,
131
433250
3268
za slobodu ljudi crne rase,
07:16
Black and Brown people will have to be willing to accept their help.
132
436542
4000
oni će morati da prihvate tu pomoć.
07:21
And I know that's complicated,
133
441708
2518
I znam da je to teško,
07:24
but this is collective work
134
444250
3434
ali to je rad u zajednici
07:27
and it requires everyone to be all in.
135
447708
5250
i svi moramo učestvovati.
07:34
One day when I was at kindergarten,
136
454208
2601
Jednog dana kada sam bila u vrtiću,
07:36
our teacher introduced us
137
456833
1476
vaspitačica nas je upoznala sa prelepom,
07:38
to this beautiful, tall, white lady named Miss Ann.
138
458333
3542
visokom belom ženom, Gđicom En.
07:42
I thought she was the prettiest white lady I'd ever seen.
139
462833
3000
Meni je bila najlepša bela žena koju sam ikada videla.
07:46
Well, if I can be honest with you,
140
466667
1642
U stvari, ako mogu da budem iskrena,
07:48
I think it was the first time we'd ever seen a white lady in our school ever.
141
468333
3643
mislim da je to bio prvi put da sam videla belu ženu u našem vrtiću.
(Smeh)
07:52
(Laughter)
142
472000
1268
07:53
Miss Ann stood in front of us,
143
473292
1559
Gđica En je stala pred nas
07:54
and she said she was going to start teaching ballet classes
144
474875
4268
i rekla da će početi sa časovima baleta
07:59
right there are our school
145
479167
1875
baš u našem vrtiću
08:02
and that she was proud to be our dance teacher.
146
482042
3833
i da je ponosna što će biti naša profesorka baleta.
08:06
It was unreal.
147
486500
2875
Bilo je neverovatno.
08:10
All of a sudden --
148
490375
1851
Odjednom...
08:12
(sings) I didn't think ballet was dumb anymore.
149
492250
3059
(pevušeći) više nisam mislila da je balet glup.
08:15
(Laughter)
150
495333
1750
(Smeh)
08:17
You see, what I know now is Miss Ann was fully aware
151
497875
5059
Sada znam da je Gđica En bila svesna toga
08:22
that the white ballet schools would not accept Black girls.
152
502958
4810
da baletske škole za belu decu ne prihvataju crne devojčice.
08:27
She was incensed by that.
153
507792
2476
Bila je besna zbog toga.
08:30
So she came to the Black neighborhood
154
510292
2517
Došla je u naselje u kom žive crna deca
08:32
to start teaching the dance classes herself.
155
512833
3167
da lično započne časove baleta.
08:36
And you know, it took love and courage for her to do that.

Za to su potrebni ljubav i hrabrost.
08:40
(Applause)

(Aplauz)
08:46
And where there was no justice,
158
526667
3476
Stvorila je pravdu
08:50
she just built it.
159
530167
1625
gde je nije bilo.
08:53
We all survived,
160
533167
2976
Svi mi smo preživeli
08:56
because we stood on the shoulders of our Black ancestors.
161
536167
3833
zahvaljujući dostignućima naših crnih predaka.
09:00
We all thrived, because Miss Ann was an unlikely ally.
162
540792
5833
Procvetali smo zahvaljujući Gđici En,
jer je bila neočekivani saveznik.
09:07
You know, when you add your voice
163
547667
3101
Dodajući svoj glas
09:10
and your actions
164
550792
2142
i svoje postupke
09:12
to situations that you don't think involve you,
165
552958
3768
situacijama za koje smatrate da vas se ne tiču,
09:16
you actually inspire others to do the same.
166
556750
2875
zapravo inspirišete druge da urade isto.
09:20
Miss Ann inspired me to always be on the lookout
167
560625
4101
Gđica En me je inspirisala
da uvek tražim situacije koje nisu o meni
09:24
for situations that weren't about me
168
564750
3809
09:28
but where I saw injustice
169
568583
1976
ali u kojima uviđam nepravdu
09:30
and inequality happening anyway.
170
570583
2750
i nejednakost.
09:34
I hope she inspires you, too,
171
574375
2601
Nadam se da će inspirisati i vas,
jer da bismo dobili borbu za pravdu
09:37
because to win the fight for equity
172
577000
5268
09:42
we will all need to speak up
173
582292
3809
svi ćemo morati da se oglasimo
09:46
and stand up.
174
586125
1500
i da se založimo.
09:48
We will all need to do that.
175
588500
2434
Svi ćemo morati to da uradimo.
09:50
And we will all need to do that
176
590958
2018
Moraćemo
09:53
even when it's hard
177
593000
1851
čak i kada je teško
09:54
and even when we feel out of place,
178
594875
3143
i kada mislimo da nas se ne tiče.
09:58
because it is your place,
179
598042
3976
Tiče vas se.
10:02
and it is our place.
180
602042
2333
Tiče nas se.
10:05
Justice counts on all of us.

Pravdi smo potrebni svi.
