Abstract

ABSTRACT On July 16, 2019, after Daniel Pantaleo’s non-indictment, Emerald Snipes-Garner, Eric Garner’s daughter, took to the steps of the New York Court House and demanded the impossible, that her deceased family members be alive. In this essay, I approach Snipes-Garner’s advocacy with a version of racial rhetorical criticism focused on how Black people rebuke racism. Attuning to Snipes-Garner’s impossible demand illuminates the usefulness of disruptive racial rhetorical criticism and illustrates how valuing Black life can interrupt “white time,” and create a “Blackened time.” This essay concludes by explicating how scholars can participate in demanding the impossible.

去你的慰问:一个不可能的要求的花言巧语

2019年7月16日，在丹尼尔·潘塔莱奥(Daniel Pantaleo)被无罪起诉后，埃里克·加纳(Eric Garner)的女儿祖玛·斯奈普斯-加纳(Emerald Snipes-Garner)走上纽约法院的台阶，要求她已故的家人活着，这是不可能的。在这篇文章中，我用一种种族修辞批评的方式来探讨斯奈普斯-加纳的主张，这种批评侧重于黑人如何谴责种族主义。顺应斯奈普斯-加纳不可能的要求，说明了破坏性的种族修辞批评的有用性，也说明了重视黑人的生活是如何打断“白人时间”，并创造出一个“被黑化的时间”。本文最后阐述了学者如何参与要求不可能的事情。
