2. The influence of what happened in pervious times has not disappeared. Such influence can still be seen.

１. 法律上认可的歧视－譬如说黑人拥有房产，有时甚至采取暴力手段达此目的，或是不给非裔美国人的业主贷款，不让黑人购房者取得联邦房屋部门的抵押贷款保险，把黑人排除在工会、警察队伍或者消防部门之外－这意味着黑人家庭难以积累家产以传给后代。
２. 无数的黑人社区缺乏基本服务设施－没有公园让孩子们玩，没有警察巡逻，没有定期的垃圾收集，不执行建筑规范－所有这些造成了暴力、挫折和无人监管的不断循环，
至今仍让我们提心吊胆。
３. 黑人的愤怒常常产生不了什么作用，与此同时，这些白人的忿恨也把注意力从挤压中产阶级的真正罪魁祸首身上移开－真正的罪人是充满内部交易的企业文化，很成问题的会计惯例，只顾眼前的贪婪心态，被院外集团和特殊利益集团把持的政府，以及关注少数而不顾多数人的经济政策。

参考答案
1. The landscape makes your imagination vivid and lifelike, and you believe that the creation of the whole universe was begun right here.
2. The Kiowa often fought just because they were good warriors, because they fought out of habits, character, nature, not because they needed extra lands or material gains for the sake of surviving and thriving.
