These include the proverbial dream house, two cars, an above –average school, and a vacation for the kids at Disneyland. We may, in fact, want these things more than other Americans because most of us have been denied them so long. 一旦获得了机会，能够从事属于白领阶层的工作，和所有人一样，黑人就会对生活抱有极大的希望，这些包括了人们常说的梦中的豪宅，两辆汽车，接受良好的教育，还有孩子们在迪斯尼乐园度过的假期。这一事实仍会让很多人感到震惊。实际上，相较于其他美国人，我们黑人更渴望获得这一切，因为我们已有太久无权拥有和享受这些东西了。第3段:Meanwhile, a considerable number of folks we left behind in the “old country,” commonly called the ghetto, and the militants we left behind in their outdated ideology can’t criticize middle-class blacks enough for “foretting where wee came from.”We are Oreos, they say, black on the outside, white within.同时，在通常被人们称为贫民区的地方，仍生活有相当多的黑人同胞，他们和那些观念陈旧的黑人好战分子一起，总是无休止地责写黑人中产阶级，说我们“忘了本”!’指责我们抛弃了革命，背叛了本民族，变成了白心黑人—皮肤是黑色的，内心却已被白人同化。第4段:The truth is, we have not forgotten; we would not dare. We are simply fighting on different fronts and are no less war weary , and possibly more heartbroken, for we know the black and white worlds can mix, that there can be a better world. 而事实是我们不曾忘本，我们也不敢忘本。我们只不过是奋斗在不同的阵线，也不比他们少厌倦战争。或许，我们还更伤心，因为我们清楚地知道黑人世界和白人世界本可以融会在一起，而这个融合在一起的世界将会更美好。第5段:It is impossible for me to forget where I came from as long as I am prey to the drug dealer who does not hesitate to exploit my childhood friendship. I am reminded, too, when I go back to the
