Na Robert C. Koehler
“. . . ʻaʻohe palekana maoli, nā mana hoʻopaʻi wale nō. "
ʻO Norman Mailer kēia, ʻehā mau makahiki i hala aku nei, e kākau ana ʻO Miami a me ka hoʻopuni ʻana iā Kikako e pili ana i nā hana palekana - "helicopter e holo ana ma luna e like me ka roller coasters, nā koa moku'āina me nā magnums ma ko lākou ʻūhā a me nā mahiole pōʻino, nā kaʻa kaʻa, nā kaʻa kaʻa" - ma nā ʻaha aupuni Demokarata a me Repubalika, kahi . . . ʻAe, ʻaʻole i hāʻawi i ka palekana, akā ʻae ʻia mākou e loaʻa ma hope.
ʻO kēia ka pupule i ʻike ʻole ʻia e pili ana i ka pōʻaiapuni o ka nūhou ʻAmelika, inā ʻo ka moʻolelo i hōʻike ʻia ma ka home a i ʻole ka honua. Ma ke ʻano he hui, ua paʻa mākou a me ka pōʻino - a i ke kaua mau, ma ka hui a me ke kanaka. Ke hoʻolaha mau nei mākou i nā poʻe ʻino (ma ka mana a me ka ʻole) a pale mau iā mākou iho mai lākou, ma ke kaʻina hana e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana e hoʻomau ka hana ʻino. A ʻo nā ʻano like ʻole ma waena o "lākou" a me "mākou" he mea weliweli.
Ua wehe ʻo Mohammad Abdulazeez i ke ahi ma kahi keʻena hoʻomaʻamaʻa moana ma Chattanooga a make ʻelima mau kānaka. Ua loaʻa ʻo ia i ke kaumaha a hiki i ka radicalized e ISIS. Fox News ʻO ke poʻo poʻomanaʻo o ka moʻolelo: "Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ke kanaka pū ʻo Tennessee i nā niho a mākaukau no ke kaua me ʻAmelika." Ua hōʻike ʻia ka moʻolelo he kamaʻāina maoli ʻo ʻAmelika i hānau ʻia ma Kuwait.
I kekahi mau lā ma hope mai, ua hoʻopuka kekahi mea hale kūʻai pū ma Florida i kahi wikiō ma YouTube e haʻi ana, me ka hae Confederate ma hope o kāna kamaʻilio ʻana - e kāhea ana i ka ʻuhane o ka pepehi kanaka ʻo Dylann Roof i ka mahina i hala o ʻeiwa ʻAmelika-ʻAmelika ma Charleston, SC - ʻo kāna. hale kūʻai, Florida Gun Supply ma Inverness, i kēia manawa he "ʻāpana kūʻokoʻa Muslim. "
"ʻAʻole au e hoʻomaʻamaʻa a hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka poʻe e makemake ana e hōʻino i koʻu mau hoa aloha ʻāina," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia, me ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i kahi ʻano ʻano racist o ka mana pū.
Ua ʻōlelo pū ʻo ia: "Aia mākou i ke kaua, patriots, akā ʻaʻole wale me ka Islam extremism. Ke kaua nei nō hoʻi mākou e kūʻē i ka pono politika koʻikoʻi e hoʻoweliweli i ko mākou ola no ka mea inā ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke kapa i ka ʻino ʻino no ka makaʻu i ka hoʻonāukiuki ʻana i nā kānaka, a laila ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke lanakila maoli i ko mākou mau ʻenemi.
Ray Mabus, US Kakauolelo o ka Navy, i olelo mai no na pana ana me ka maopopo ole o ke ano o ka enemi: “Oiai makou e manao nei e hele aku ko makou mau luina a me na Marines i ka poino, a ke hana nei lakou pela me ke kanalua ole, he hoouka kaua ma ka home, ma ko makou wahi. kaiāulu, he mea hoʻopunipuni a hiki ʻole ke hoʻomaopopo ʻia. "
Eia naʻe he mau lā ma hope mai he 10 mau pūʻali koa Afghan - nā hui ʻAmelika - ua make "ma ka home, i ko lākou kaiāulu" i ka wā i lawe ʻia ai ka mākaʻi a lākou e hoʻokele nei ma Afghanistan hikina i kahi hoʻokuʻi helikopter US, kahi i hōʻike ʻia e ka luna hoʻomalu o Afghan he "he. hewa nui loa. Ua kuhikuhi ʻo ia i ka Hawaii Post Ua ʻike ka poʻe hoʻouka kaua ʻaʻole lākou e hoʻouka ana i ka ʻenemi no ka mea ua hana ʻia i ke ao a "e ʻā ana ka hae Afghanistan ma ko mākou pou, i ka wā i hoʻouka ʻia ai mākou."
ʻAe, ʻike ʻoe, hōʻino kolateral a me nā mea a pau. Hana kēia mau mea. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole like ka make ʻana o kēia mau koa i ka hoʻouluhua like me ka pepehi ʻana iā Chattanooga, ʻoiai ua like ka waiwai o ke ola o ka poʻe i hōʻeha ʻia a ua ʻoki pōkole ʻia i kahi hoʻouka kaua i manaʻo ʻia he like ʻole ke hoʻomaopopo ʻia.
Akā, ʻoiai ʻo ka pana ʻana o Chattanooga he "weliweli weliweli," ʻo ka pepehi ʻana i ke ahi aloha he "mea hana" - e like me nā mea ʻē aʻe a pau a me nā pepehi missile, ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia a i ʻole nā mea āpau, o nā makaʻāinana ma Afghanistan, Iraq a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe i ka wā i hala. ʻumi makahiki a me ka hapa. ʻO ka Wall Street Pai Ua hoʻohui ʻo ia i ka hanana "hoʻoweliweli i ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā pilina" ma waena o ka US a me kāna mau hoa pili i ke kaua ʻaʻohe manaʻo o ka pau ʻana, akā ua hoʻohui ʻia "ua hoʻokolokolo ʻia ka airstrike," ʻo ia ka epitaph o ke koho no nā moʻolelo nūhou e kanu ʻia. no ke ao pau ole.
ʻO kēia mau mea a pau e alakaʻi iaʻu i ka ʻōlelo Norman Mailer, ʻaʻohe o mākou palekana maoli, he mana nui wale nō e hoʻopaʻi. ʻO kēia ke ʻano o ka pale kaua ponoʻī. I mea e manaʻo ai ua loaʻa iā lākou ka mana ma luna o kahi honua paʻakikī, nui nā poʻe - i hoʻoikaika ʻia e nā aupuni a lākou e mahalo ai a hoʻowahāwahā paha - hoʻokaʻawale i nā ʻāpana nui o ka lāhui kanaka he poʻe ʻino, no laila ʻaʻole pono e manaʻo ʻia a mālama ʻia. , e like me ke kanaka piha.
E like me kaʻu i kākau ai i kekahi mau makahiki i hala, e kamaʻilio ana no ka "ka hōʻeha kino"ʻo ka nui o nā mea lapaʻau e lawe mai i kā lākou lawelawe kaua: "ʻAʻole maʻalahi ka pepehi kanaka. ʻAʻole ia he hoʻohenehene. Hiki ke hoʻopaʻapaʻa i kekahi manawa he mea pono ia, akā ʻo ka pepehi ʻana i ka pūʻali koa ʻaʻole pili i ka pale ʻana iā ia iho. Hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia nā koa e pepehi ma ke kauoha, a ʻaʻole i hana ʻia kēia ma o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ke kino akā ma o ka dehumanization o ka ʻenemi: kahi hoʻomana dehumanization, e ʻōlelo paha ʻoe. ʻIke ʻia ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hoʻohaʻahaʻa i kekahi me ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻole iā mākou iho.
A ʻoi aku ka nui o ka nalo ʻana o ka poʻe i ko lākou ʻano kanaka, ʻoi aku ka nui o koʻu hopohopo, e manaʻo lākou i ka pono e hoʻopaʻa ʻia - me ka noʻonoʻo ʻana he mea like ia me ka palekana. A e hoʻomau ʻia ka pōʻaiapuni nūhou, e lawe mai iā mākou i nā mea like.
