致 美國政府的公開信
貴國自詡人權立國，經常以人權的理由對其他國家干涉內政，造成他國內部紛紛擾擾、政局動盪不安。而事實上，貴國一根指頭指向他人時，忘了三根指頭正在指向自己，這次弗洛依德事件，就暴露出貴國的人權僅僅只是階級人權和種族人權，黑人及印地安人從來沒有得到公平的待遇，秉於身為地球村一份子的良知，我們衷心向貴國提出以下三點訴求：
一、請具體落實對黑人人權的尊重：
貴國黑人只佔全美人口數12％，卻佔新冠肺炎的死亡人數的40.3％。黑人男性囚犯更佔美國監獄男囚總人數45％；由此可見，不管在教育、社會、司法與醫療等體系上，從來沒有考慮過黑人的權益。
二、請以贖罪的心理補償對印地安人數百年來的迫害：
1620年五月花號抵達美洲時，是印地安人幫你們度過嚴寒的冬天。可是貴國卻恩將仇報，屠殺了他們的人民、掠奪了他們的土地。今天，你們已經在印第安人的血淚中，建立了強大富足的國家，是時候該對他們提出適度的補償，讓倖存下來的幾百萬印地安人，不再坐困於酒精氾濫的保留地，過著無助、絕望、沒有明天的生活。
三、請尊重琉球人民的生存權：
當年，日本在琉球設立軍事基地作為侵略的跳板，導致了1945年的沖繩戰役，當時美日兩國共屠殺了10萬個琉球人的(當年琉球人口約四十萬人)，今天，貴國在琉球設軍事基地以對付中國，萬一中美爆發戰爭，不知道多少無辜的琉球人民將會喪生在無情的飛彈火海中，饒饒琉球人吧！
最後，期待貴國政府能針對以上訴求予以正面回應，更期盼 釋放因致力於爭取原住民權益而被長期囚禁的志士們，以實際行動來落實人權立國的精神！

An Open Letter to the Government of
the United States of America:
Your country prides itself on being established on the basis of universal human rights, and often interferes in other countries’ internal affairs on the pretense of furthering human rights, causing political unrest and instability in the countries you seek to liberate. You forget that when you point with one finger, three fingers point back at you. The murder of George Floyd has revealed that so-called “human rights” in the United States are in fact rights based on class and race: African Americans and Native Americans have never received fair treatment in the United States. As people of color and members of the Global Village, we make the following demands of your country:
One: Please fully respect the human rights of African-Americans.
African Americans account for only 12% of the United States’ population, but they represent 40.3% of deaths from COVID-19, and 45% of the male prison population. It is clear from these statistics that African American’s constitutionally- protected rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness have never been fully recognized.
Two: Please compensate Native-Americans for the centuries of persecution they have endured.
When the Mayflower arrived in America in 1620, it was the native people who helped you survive the harsh winter. Your country repaid them by slaughtering their people and plundering their land. You have built a powerful and wealthy country on the blood and tears of Native Americans, and it is time to offer the survivors some modest form of compensation so they will no longer be trapped on reservations overflowing with alcohol, helplessness, and despair.
Three: Please respect the Ryukyuan peoples’ right to life
Following the annexation of Ryukyu in 1879, the Ryukyu Islands became a springboard for Japanese aggression, which ultimately led to the 1945 Battle of Okinawa, in which the United States and Japanese armies slaughtered a quarter of the Ryukyuan population. Today, your country has set up a military base on the Ryukyuan Islands as a deterrent to China. In the event of a war between China and the United States, who knows how many Ryukyuan people will perish at the hands of soldiers and in the flames of missiles. We ask: do you not value the human rights of the Ryukyuan people?
We look forward to a positive response to our demands, and await the release of the brave volunteers who gave up their freedom to fight for the rights of the oppressed people of your country, rights upon which you claim the country is founded!
Sincerely,
The Chinese Unification Promotion Party, 2020/06/12
