谁霸凌了谁？戴维斯店主不喜非裔员工贴“BLM政治标签”，然后店就干不成了；或幕后有3K党影子，华人店主雇佣员工也要当心啦！
Mickey Mann, the former owner of the franchise, said his no-politics policy has been in place for eight years, and employees "couldn't wear a MAGA hat in the store."
前特许经营老板米奇·曼恩(Mickey Mann)说，他的“不谈政治”政策已经实施了八年，所以员工“不能在店里戴MAGA帽”。
（ABC10）DAVIS, Calif — It did not take long before the Davis Mr. Pickles sandwich shop was closed down by corporate officials. Not even days after the owner of the franchise sent an email to employees comparing the Black Lives Matter movement to the Klu Klux Klan, the store was closed.
加州戴维斯——没过多久，戴维斯·皮克尔斯三明治店就被公司官员关闭了（丢掉特许经营权）。这家连锁店的老板给员工发了一封电子邮件，将“黑人的命也是命”运动与Klu Klux Klan相提并论，几天后这家店就关门了。
In a statement posted to social media, corporate officials called the comments "alarming and painful," adding that the store will only open under new ownership if it does.
在社交媒体上发布的一份声明中，该公司官员称这些评论“令人震惊和痛苦”，并补充说，只有在这样的情况下，该店才会以新东家的身份开业。
The email, sent by former owner Mickey Mann, read, in part, "The BLM is the flip side of the KKK. Their tactics are out of the Mafia play book. They are no better that (sic) some of the worst oppressive regimes in the world."
邮件由前老板米奇·曼(Mickey Mann)发送，其中写道，“美国劳工管理局是三k党(KKK)的另一面。”他们的策略是黑手党惯用的伎俩。他们不比世界上一些最恶劣的暴虐组织好多少。”
On Thursday, in an interview with ABC10, Mann said that he wishes that he did not send the letter but that he stands by his statements.
周四，曼恩在接受ABC10采访时表示，他希望自己没有寄出这封信，但他坚持自己的观点。
"If they knew my background, if they knew my family, the diversity in my family, the diversity in my hires over 40 years of hiring, they would know I wasn't a racist," Mann said.
“如果他们了解我的背景，如果他们了解我的家庭，了解我家庭的包容及多样性，了解我40多年来雇佣的员工的多样性，他们就会知道我不是种族主义者，”曼恩说。
The Southern Poverty Law Center describes the Ku Klux Klan as "the oldest and most infamous of American hate groups." First created in 1865 by former Confederate army officers, the Klan’s birth was a direct result of the abolition of slavery in the United States.
南方贫困法律中心称三k党是“美国历史最悠久、最臭名昭著的仇恨组织”。三k党最初由前南方联盟军官于1865年创建，它的诞生是美国废除奴隶制的直接结果。
The then newly-created but hardly-structured organization had one goal: strengthen white supremacy in America, which they believed was lost when Black people were no longer slaves. They targeted just-freed Black men, politically active Black men, and non-Black allies.
这个当时刚刚成立但结构艰难的组织只有一个目标:加强美国白人的霸权地位。他们认为，当黑人不再是奴隶时，白人的霸权地位就不复存在了。他们的目标是刚刚获释的黑人，政治上活跃的黑人，以及非黑人盟友。
But it wasn't until the second coming of the KKK in 1915 that the organization was at its peak, broadening their targeted attacks to "Jews, immigrants, members of the LGBTQ community and, until recently, Catholics," in order to increase membership to people in the northern and midwestern states.
但直到1915年三k党第二次出现，该组织才达到顶峰，将目标攻击范围扩大到“犹太人、移民、LGBTQ社区成员，以及天主教徒”，目的是增加北方和中西部各州的成员。
Some of the members of the KKK included lawyers, police officers, state and federal politicians and community members.
三k党的一些成员包括律师、警察、州和联邦政客以及社区成员。
"Lynchings, tar-and-featherings, rapes and other violent attacks on those challenging white supremacy became a hallmark of the Klan," the SPLC says.
“私刑、焦油和羽毛、强奸和其他对那些挑战白人至上的人的暴力攻击成为三k党的标志，”SPLC说。
Meanwhile, since its inception following the killing of Trayvon Martin and the subsequent acquittal of George Zimmerman, the man who killed the teenager, the Black Lives Matter movement has fought and demanded changes that would dismantle the same white supremacy that the Klan wanted to uphold.
与此同时，自特雷万·马丁(Trayvon Martin)被杀、随后杀死马丁的乔治·齐默尔曼(George Zimmerman)被判无罪后，“黑人的命也是命”(Black Lives Matter)运动成立以来，该运动一直在抗争，要求做出改变，废除三k党希望维持的同样的白人至上主义。
Mann admitted that he wrote the email out of anger after trying to keep politics out of this store, a policy that he said he’s kept there for eight years.
曼恩承认，他是出于愤怒才写这封邮件的，他试图将政治排除在这家商店之外，他说他已经坚持了八年。
"That's not limited to BLM," Mann said. "They can come in with any right-wing organization they wanted to, it would be the same answer. You can't do that, you couldn't wear a MAGA hat in the store as an employee."
“这并不仅限于BLM，”Mann说。“他们可以加入任何他们想加入的右翼组织，答案都是一样的。你不能这么做，你不能在店里当雇员的时候戴MAGA帽子。”
In his email that has since gone viral, Mann told his employees that they could not wear Black Lives Matter pins on their uniforms following the police killing of George Floyd, which sparked worldwide protests against police brutality.
在他的电子邮件中，曼恩告诉他的员工，他们不能在制服上佩戴“Black Lives Matter”的别针。此前，乔治·弗洛伊德(George Floyd)被警察枪杀，引发了全球范围内对警察暴行的抗议。
After a back and forth with his staff who wanted to wear the pins, Mann said he was willing to let the employees either wear them or set up a donation jar for Back Lives Matter, with the store donating $500.
在与希望佩戴胸针的员工进行了一番周旋后，曼恩表示，他愿意让员工佩戴胸针，或者为“back Lives Matter”设立一个捐赠罐，该店捐赠了500美元。
"I don't know exactly how it escalated from there, but they became very agitated and I finally was fed up with the situation and I sent that email," Mann recalled.
曼恩回忆说，“我不知道事情是如何从那以后升级的，但他们变得非常激动，我最终对这种情况感到厌倦，于是发了那封电子邮件。”
His email said that if he could do it over again, there would be no discussion, no pins, and no donation jars.
他的电子邮件说，如果他可以重新来过，就不会有讨论，没有别针，没有捐赠罐。
Then the email made its way to social media.
然后，这封邮件传到了社交媒体上。
Mann said three of the employees he had the disagreement with quit. Now, after his email went viral, the seven others who worked there are unemployed, collecting pay only for the rest of the workweek.
曼恩说，与他有分歧的三名员工辞职了。现在，在他的邮件疯传之后，在那里工作的另外七个人都失业了，只能在一周剩下的时间领工资。
In his email to staff, Mann wrote that he has "no fear of the repercussions that may come from standing up to you. I have no fear of the BLM… I have no fear of any or all of you quitting. We started the store with zero employees, so if necessary, we will rebuild from zero again."
在给员工的电子邮件中，曼恩写道，他“不担心与你对抗可能带来的后果”。我不怕BLM…我不怕你们中的任何一个或所有人退出。我们开这家店的时候没有员工，所以如果有必要，我们会从零开始重建。”
After being forced to shut down by corporate, Mann said that he and his wife, Bonnie, will retire.
曼恩表示，他和妻子邦妮(Bonnie)将退休。
