English term

white moderate

English to Serbian Social Sciences History
Je li u pitanju "umerenjak" u smislu političkih, rasnih i sl. opredeljenja ili je nešto drugo?

Evo dela pisma M. L. Kinga:

"I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Super Super, hvala! Hajde, molim Vas, ponudite to kao odgovor.
Bogdan Petrovic Nov 17, 2008:
to je to Ja mislim da je to upravo to, umereni belci koji se, po Kingovom ukusu, nisu dovoljno zalagali za prava crnaca, iako su se deklarativno protivili diskriminaciji.

beli umerenjaci

Budući da je osnovno značenje reči moderate = umeren (doduše, kada se upotrebljava kao pridev, što ovde nije slučaj), a imajući u vidu da je i u našoj političkoj praksi (doduše, onoj s početka prošlog veka) bio uvrežen izraz "umerenjak", predložio sam prevod kao u dispozitivu ovog mog odgovora :)
