Wolemba a Medea Benjamin ndi Zoltán Grossman, Julayi 14, 2020

Kuyambira pomwe George Floyd adaphedwa, tawona kuwonjezeka kwa "nkhondo yakunyumba" yolimbana ndi anthu akuda komanso abulauni ndi "nkhondo zakunja" zomwe US ​​idachita pomenyera anthu a maiko ena. Asitikali ankhondo ndi a National Guard atumizidwa m'mizinda yaku US, apolisi ankhondo amasamalira mizinda yathu ngati mizinda yankhondo. Poyankha "nkhondo yosatha iyi" kunyumba, kulira ndikubangula pobweza ndalama za apolisi kwalimbikitsidwa ndi mayitanidwe obwezera ndalama za nkhondo za Pentagon. M'malo mowona izi ngati zofuna ziwiri koma zofananira, tiyenera kuziona zikugwirizana, popeza nkhanza za apolisi omwe amasala anthu m'misewu yathu komanso nkhanza zamtundu zomwe US ​​yakhala ikuchitira anthu padziko lonse lapansi ndizowonetsera.

Tingaphunzire zambiri za nkhondo yakunyumba pophunzira za nkhondo zakunja, ndikuphunzira zambiri za nkhondo zakumayiko pophunzira za nkhondo kunyumba. Izi ndi zina mwalumikizidwe:

1. US imapha anthu amtundu kunyumba ndi kunja. United States idakhazikitsidwa pa lingaliro la ukulu woyera, kuyambira kupandukira anthu aku America kuti akakamize dongosolo la ukapolo. Apolisi aku US akupha pafupifupi 1,000 anthu pachaka, osawerengeka mdera lakuda ndi madera ena amitundu. Ndondomeko zakunja zakunyumba zaku US zimakhazikikanso motengera lingaliro loyera la “American American,” mogwirizana ndi anzawo aku Europe. The Nkhondo zosatha zankhondo zaku US zidamenyera kwina sizingatheke popanda a mawonedwe adziko lapansi omwe amaphunzitsa anthu akunja zachilendo. "Ngati mukufuna kuponya bomba kapena kulowa m'dziko lachilendo lodzaza ndi anthu akuda- kapena ofiira, ngati gulu lankhondo la United States nthawi zambiri, muyenera kupanga ziwanda ndi anthu, kuwachotsa anthu, kuwuza kuti abwerera m'mbuyo akusowa thandizo kupulumutsa kapena kupulumutsa anthu ofuna kupha, ” atero mtolankhani Mehdi Hasan. Asitikali aku US ndiye wachititsa kuti mazana zikwizikwi a Anthu akuda komanso abuluu padziko lonse lapansi, komanso kukana ufulu wawo wodziyimira pawokha. Miyezo iwiri yomwe imayeretsa miyoyo ya asitikali ndi nzika zaku US, koma kunyalanyaza anthu omwe mayiko omwe Pentagon ndi ogwirizana nayo amawononga ndi yachinyengo ngati yomwe imayang'ana azungu amakhala kunyumba yakuda komanso ya bulauni kunyumba.

2. Monga momwe US ​​idapangidwira ndikulanda madera achimwenye mokakamiza, momwemonso America ngati ufumu imagwiritsa ntchito nkhondo kukulitsa kufikira misika ndi chuma. Kukhazikika kwa atsamunda kwakhala "nkhondo yopanda malire" kunyumba motsutsana ndi Amwenye, omwe adalandidwa pomwe madera awo adatanthauzidwabe kuti madera akunja, kulandidwa nthaka yawo yachonde ndi zachilengedwe. Malo achitetezo ankhondo omwe anali m'mitundu Yachikhalidwe nthawi imeneyo anali ofanana ndi magulu akunja akunja masiku ano, ndipo otsutsana Native anali "zigawenga" zoyambirira zomwe zinali m'njira yoti zigonjetse ku America. "Kuwonetseratu Zomwe Zidakonzedweratu" kumayiko achikhalidwe chawo zikuwonjezekera kukuwonjezeka kwanyanja, kuphatikiza kulanda kwa Hawai'i, Puerto Rico, ndi madera ena, komanso nkhondo zothana ndi ngozi ku Philippines ndi Vietnam. M'zaka za zana la 21, nkhondo zotsogozedwa ndi US zasokoneza Middle East ndi Central Asia, pomwe zikuwonjezera kuwongolera zopezera mafuta m'derali. Pentagon ili nayo anagwiritsa ntchito template ya Nkhondo za ku India kuopseza anthu aku America ndi chosinkhira cha "zigawo zopanda malamulo" zomwe zimayenera "kuchotsedwa," m'maiko monga Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, ndi Somalia. Pakadali pano, a Wound Knee mu 1973 ndi Standing Rock mu 2016 akuwonetsa momwe atsamunda obwereranso ku mayiko ena angabwezeretsenso kubwerera ku "dziko" la US. Kuyimitsa mapaipi amafuta ndikugubuduza ziboliboli za Columbus kumawonetsa momwe kukana kwa India kungatithandizidwenso mkati mwa ufumuwo.

3. Apolisi ndi ankhondo onse ali pamavuto osankhana mitundu. Ndi ziwonetsero za Black Lives Matter, anthu ambiri tsopano aphunzira zakomwe apolisi aku US akuwayang'anira. Sizowopsa kuti ganyu ndi kukwezedwa m'madipatimenti apolisi amakondera azungu, ndipo akazitape achikuda kuzungulira dzikolo apitiliza kutero mlandu madipatimenti awo kuti azichita tsankho. Zoterezi zikuchitikanso asirikali, pomwe kusankhana kudali malamulo mpaka 1948. Masiku ano, anthu amtundu wakale amayesedwa kuti adzaze magulu apansi, koma osati maudindo apamwamba. Olemba ntchito zankhondo akhazikitsa malo ophunzitsira anthu amitundu yosiyanasiyana, pomwe maboma amathandizira pantchito zachikhalidwe ndi maphunziro zimapangitsa asitikali kukhala imodzi mwanjira zochepa kuti asangopeza ntchito, koma kupeza chithandizo chamankhwala ndi maphunziro apamwamba a koleji. Ndiye chifukwa chake peresenti 43 mwa amuna ndi akazi okwanira 1.3 miliyoni omwe akugwira ntchito ndi anthu amtundu, ndipo amwenye aku America amatumikira ku Gulu Lankhondo ku kasanu pafupifupi dziko. Koma oyang'anira asitikali apamwamba amakhalabe kalabu ya anyamata oyera (oyang'anira 41 akuluakulu, okha awiri ndi Akuda ndipo m'modzi yekha ndiye mkazi). Pansi pa a Trump, kusankhana magulu ankhondo kukukulira. 2019 kafukufuku anapeza kuti 53 peresenti ya azikongoletso achikuda akuti adawona zitsanzo za kusankhana ndi azungu kapena kusankhana mwa malingaliro pakati pa ankhondo anzawo, chiwerengero chakwera kwambiri kuchokera pa voti yomweyi mu 2018. Asilamu oyimira kumanja ayesera onse lowetsani ankhondo ndi khalani ndi apolisi.

4. Asitikali a Pentagon ndi zida "zochulukirapo" zikugwiritsidwa ntchito m'misewu yathu. Monga momwe Pentagon nthawi zambiri imagwiritsa ntchito chilankhulo cha "zochita za apolisi" pofotokoza zakumayiko akunja, apolisi akumenyedwera nkhondo ku US Momwe Pentagon inamalizidwa mchaka cha 1990 ndi zida za nkhondo zosafunikiranso, idapanga "1033 Program" kugawa anthu onyamula zida zankhondo, mfuti zapamtunda, ngakhalenso zokumbira m'madipatimenti apolisi. Zoposa $ 7.4 biliyoni zida zankhondo ndi katundu wasamutsidwira kumaofesi opitilira 8,000 - kusintha apolisi kukhala magulu ankhondo ndi mizinda yathu kukhala zigawo zankhondo. Tidawona izi bwino mchaka cha 2014 pambuyo pa kuphedwa kwa a Michael Brown, pomwe apolisi akuwoneka kuti ali ndi zida zankhondo adapanga misewu ya Ferguson, Missouri woneka ngati Iraq. Posachedwa, tidaona apolisi ankhondo ankhondo awa akuponyedwa motsutsana ndi George Floyd Rebellion, ndi ma helikoputa ankhondo pamwamba, ndipo Bwanamkubwa wa Minnesota akufanizira kutumizidwa ndi "nkhondo yakunja." Trump watero Asitikali ankhondo ndipo ndimafuna kutumiza zochuluka, zochuluka Asitikali ogwira ntchito amagwiritsidwa ntchito kale motsutsana ndi ziwonetsero zingapo za antchito m'ma 1890s-1920s, ziwonetsero zankhondo za Bonus Army za 1932, ndi kuwukira kwakuda ku Detroit mu 1943 ndi 1967, m'mizinda yambiri mu 1968 (ataphedwa kwa Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.), ndipo ku Los Angeles mu 1992 (pambuyo polandidwa ndi apolisi omwe adamenya a Rodney King). Kutumiza asitikali ophunzitsidwa kumenya nkhondo kumangokulitsa zinthu zoipitsitsa, ndipo izi zitha kutsegulira maso aku America ku chiwawa choopsa chomwe asitikali aku US amayesa, koma nthawi zambiri amalephera, kuletsa kutsutsana m'maiko. Congress ikhoza kutsutsa kusamutsa kwa zida zankhondo kupolisi, ndipo Akuluakulu a Pentagon angakane kugwiritsa ntchito magulu ankhondo kulimbana ndi nzika zaku US kunyumba, koma samakonda kukana pomwe mipherezicho ndi alendo kapena ngakhale nzika zaku US omwe amakhala kudziko lina.

5. Kulowerera kwina ku United States kunja, makamaka "Nkhondo pa Zoopsa," kufafaniza ufulu wathu kunyumba. Njira zowunikira zomwe zimayesedwa kwa akunja zili nazo Kutenga nthawi yayitali kuti muchepetse wotsutsana kunyumba, kuyambira nthawi zonse ku Latin America ndi Philippines. Momwe nkhondo yaku 9/11 idayamba, pomwe asitikali aku US adagula zida zakufa kupha adani aku US (ndipo nthawi zambiri anthu osalakwa) ndikusonkhanitsa nzeru m'mizinda yonse, m'madipatimenti apolisi aku US adayamba kugula zida zazing'ono, koma zamphamvu. Otsutsa a Black Lives Matter awona izi posachedwa “Maso akumwamba” amawayang'ana. Ichi ndi chiwonetsero chimodzi chokha cha gulu lowunika momwe dziko la US lakhalira kuyambira 9/11. Kutchedwa "War on Terror" kwakhala chifukwa chofutukula mphamvu zaboma kunyumba kwambiri - “migodi yayikulu,” kukulitsa chinsinsi kwa mabungwe amgwirizano, a No-Fly alemba kuletsa anthu makumi masauzande kuyenda , komanso boma lalikulu likuyang'anira magulu azachipembedzo, achipembedzo komanso andale, kuchokera ku Quaker kupita ku Greenpeace kupita ku ACLU, kuphatikiza asitikali ankhondo akumagulu ankhondo. Kugwiritsa ntchito magulu ankhondo osavomerezeka akunja kumathandizanso kuti azigwiritsa ntchito kwambiri kunyumba, monga momwe makontrakitala achitetezo amtundu wa Blackwater anali kuchokera ku Baghdad kupita ku New Orleans chifukwa cha Hurricane Katrina mu 2005, kuti agwiritsidwe ntchito kutsutsana ndi gulu lowonongedwa la anthu akuda. Ndipo apolisi ndi ankhondo akumanja akumanja atakhala ankhondo atha kuchita zachiwawa osavomerezeka kudziko lakwawo, zimasinthasintha komanso zimapangitsa nkhanza zazikulu kwina.

6. Xenophobia ndi Islamophobia pakati pa "War on Terror" chadzetsa chidani cha osamukira kwawo komanso Asilamu kunyumba. Monga momwe nkhondo zakunja zimaloledwera chifukwa cha kusankhana mitundu komanso kusala kwachipembedzo, zimadyetsanso ukulu ndi kuyera kwachikhristu kunyumba, monga zikuwonekera m'ndende za Japan ndi America mu 1940s, komanso malingaliro akutsutsana ndi Asilamu omwe adakwera m'ma 1980s. Kuukira kwa 9/11 kunayambitsa ziwengo zodana ndi Asilamu komanso ma Sikh, komanso lamulo loletsa kuyenda ku US lomwe limakana kulowa US kwa anthu ochokera mmaiko onse, kupatula mabanja, kuletsa ophunzira kuti apite ku mayunivesite, ndikumatsekereza anthu osamukira kundende. Senator Bernie Sanders, kulemba pankhani zakunja, anati, "Ngati atsogoleri athu osankhidwa, ma pundits, ndi ma TV atolankhani atalimbikitsa mantha osaneneka okhudzana ndi zigawenga zachisilamu, mosakayikira zimapangitsa kukhala ndi mantha ndi kukayikirana pozungulira nzika zachisilamu zaku America - nyengo yomwe zipolopolo ngati Trump zingakule. . ” Anatinso kukangana pakati pa anthu osamukira kudziko lina kuti akhale mtsutsano wokhudza chitetezo cha anthu aku America, ndikupangitsa nzika zadziko la US mamiliyoni kuti zisasungidwe ndi osagwirizana ngakhalenso olembedwa kumene. Nkhondo yomwe ili kumalire a US-Mexico, pogwiritsa ntchito zonena zabodza zokhudzana ndi zigawenga komanso zigawenga, zapangitsa kuti magwiritsidwe ntchito a ma drones ndi mndandanda womwe umabweretsa njira zoyendetsera olamulira ku dziko lakwawo. (Panthawiyi, US Customs and Border Protection antchito nawonso adatumizidwa kumalire a Iraq.)

7. Onse asitikali ndi apolisi amayamwa madola akuluakulu amisonkho omwe akuyenera kugwiritsidwa ntchito pomanga gulu la anthu achilungamo, chokhazikika komanso chilungamo. Anthu aku America akutenga nawo mbali mokomera zachiwawa za boma, kaya tikudziwa kapena ayi, pakulipira msonkho kwa apolisi komanso asitikali omwe amachita mdzina lathu. Akuluakulu a polisi amagwiritsa ntchito ndalama zochulukirapo zaku mzindawo poyerekeza ndi mapulogalamu ena ofunikira, kuyambira pamenepo 20 mpaka 45 peresenti ya ndalama zanzeru m'malo akulu. Kuwononga kwa apolisi mumzinda wa Baltimore kwa 2020 ndi ndalama zodabwitsa kwambiri $ 904 (taganizirani zomwe aliyense wokhala nawo akanachita ndi $ 904). Padziko lonse lapansi, US imawononga ndalama zoposa kuchuluka koposa pa "malamulo ndi dongosolo" monga zimakhalira pamapulogalamu othandizira ndalama. Izi zakhala zikukulirakulira kuyambira zaka za m'ma 1980, pomwe tidachotsa ndalama pamapulogalamu aumphawi kuti athane ndi umbanda, zomwe sizingapeweke chifukwa chonyalanyaza izi. Zomwezo ndi zowona ndi bajeti ya Pentagon. Bajeti ya 2020 ya $ 738 biliyoni ndi yayikulu kuposa mayiko khumi otsatirawa. Washington Post inanena kuti ngati US idawononga gawo limodzi la GDP yake pazankhondo monga momwe mayiko ambiri aku Europe amachitira, "ikhoza kupereka ndalama zothandizira ana onse, kuwonjezera inshuwaransi yaumoyo kwa anthu pafupifupi 30 miliyoni aku America omwe alibe, kapena kupereka ndalama zambiri pokonzanso zomanga dziko lino. ” Kutseka mabwalo asitikali ankhondo okwana 800+ ndekha amatha kusunga madola 100 biliyoni pachaka. Kuyika patsogolo apolisi ndi ankhondo kumatanthauza kupatula zinthu zofunikira zofunikira za mdera. Ngakhale Purezidenti Eisenhower adanenanso kuti kuwononga ndalama pomenya nkhondo mu 1953 ndi "kuba kwa omwe akumva njala ndipo sakudya."

8. Njira zopondereza zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito kumayiko ena zimabwera kunyumba. Asitikali amaphunzitsidwa kuti awone nzika zambiri zomwe akumana nazo kunja monga zowopsa. Pobwerera kuchokera ku Iraq kapena ku Afghanistan, adapeza kuti m'modzi mwa olemba ochepa omwe amatsogolera ma vets ndi madipatimenti apolisi ndi makampani achitetezo. Amaperekanso zochuluka malipiro akulu, zabwino, komanso chitetezo chamgwirizano, chifukwa chake chimodzi mwa zisanu apolisi ndi msirikali wakale. Chifukwa chake, ngakhale asirikali omwe amabwera kunyumba ndi PTSD kapena kugwiritsa ntchito mankhwala osokoneza bongo ndi mowa, m'malo mowasamalira mokwanira, amapatsidwa zida ndikuwayika m'misewu. Palibe zodabwitsa zochitika zosonyeza kuti apolisi odziwa zambiri zankhondo, makamaka omwe adapita kutsidya lina, atenga nawo mbali kwambiri paziwopsezo kuposa omwe alibe ntchito yankhondo. Ubale womwewo kuponderezana kunyumba ndi kunja kumachitika ndi njira zakuzunza, zomwe adaphunzitsidwa kwa asitikali ndi apolisi mdziko lonse la Latin America pa nthawi ya Cold War. Amagwiritsidwanso ntchito pa Afghans pandende yomwe ikuthamangitsidwa ndi Bagram Air Base ku US, komanso ku Iraq ku ndende ya Abu Ghraib, pomwe m'modzi mwa ozunza adachitapo zofanana ndi izi mlonda kundende ku Pennsylvania. Cholinga cha kusungira madzi, njira yozunza kuyambira ku nkhondo za antiinurgency ku Native America ndi Philippines, ndikuletsa munthu kupuma, monga polimbana ndi apolisi omwe anapha Eric Garner kapena bondo kukhosi lomwe linapha George Floyd. #ICantBreathe sikuti amangokhala mawu osintha kunyumba, komanso mawu okhala ndi tanthauzo lapadziko lonse lapansi.

9. Nkhondo ya Mankhwala Osokoneza bongo yaika ndalama zambiri apolisi ndi ankhondo koma zakhala zikusautsa anthu amtundu, kunyumba ndi kunja. Buku lomwe amalitcha kuti "Nkhondo Yokhudza Mankhwala Osokoneza bongo" lasokoneza midzi yamtundu, makamaka anthu akuda, zomwe zikuyambitsa ziwopsezo zankhanza zamfuti komanso kumangidwa kwakukulu. Anthu achikuda nthawi zambiri amatha kuyimitsidwa, kusaka, kumangidwa, kuweruzidwa, komanso kuweruzidwa mwankhanza chifukwa chazifukwa zokhudzana ndi mankhwala. Pafupifupi peresenti 80 Anthu omwe ali kundende ya feduro ndipo pafupifupi 60 peresenti ya anthu omwe ali mndende za boma chifukwa chogwiritsa ntchito mankhwala osokoneza bongo ndi a Black kapena Latinx. Nkhondo ya Mankhwala Osokoneza bongo yasokolanso madera akutali. Ku South America, Caribbean, ndi Afghanistan m'malo opanga mankhwala ndi ogulitsa, nkhondo zochirikizidwa ndi US zangopatsa mphamvu zankhanza ndi ma cartel osokoneza bongo, zomwe zimatsogolera ku kuchuluka kwa ziwawa, ziphuphu, kusaloledwa, kukokoloka kwa malamulo, komanso kuphwanya ufulu wa anthu ambiri. Central America tsopano ndi kwawo kwa ena kwambiri padziko lapansi midzi yoopsa, zomwe zikupangitsa kuti anthu ambiri asamukire ku US komwe a Donald Trump adasankhira zida zandale. Monga momwe mayankho apolisi kunyumba samathetsa mavuto omwe amabwera chifukwa cha umphawi komanso kukhumudwa (ndipo nthawi zambiri zimayambitsa zovulaza kuposa zabwino), magulu ankhondo akumayiko ena samathetsa mikangano yakale yomwe nthawi zambiri imakhala yokhudza kusagwirizana pakati pa anthu pazachuma komanso zachuma, m'malo mwake amayambitsa kuzungulira kwa chiwawa komwe kumakulitsa vutoli.

10. Makina opangira zida zolimbitsa thupi amalimbitsa chithandizo cha apolisi ndi mafakitale ankhondo. Ogwira ntchito zachitetezo kwanthawi yayitali akhala akuthandiza apolisi ndi ndende pakati pa andale ndi maboma, pogwiritsa ntchito kuopa zaupandu, komanso kufunitsitsa kupeza phindu ndi ntchito zomwe zimapatsidwanso kumbuyo kwa omwe amawathandizira. Mwa othandizira mwamphamvu ndi apolisi ndi mabungwe olondera ndende, omwe m'malo mongogwiritsa ntchito gulu lankhondo kuteteza omwe alibe mphamvu motsutsana ndi amphamvu, atetezere mamembala awo kumadandaulo am'deralo chifukwa chankhanza. Makina opanga zida zankhondo nawonso amagwiritsa ntchito minofu yake yolimbikitsa kuti andale azichita zomwe akufuna. Chaka chilichonse mabiliyoni ambiri amachotsedwa kwa okhonza misonkho aku US kupita kumakampani ambiri omwe amakhala ndi zida, omwe amakamenya nawo ndewu zokakamiza kuti azigulitsa nkomwe zida zankhondo zakunja ndi kugulitsa zida. Iwo amathera $ 125 miliyoni pachaka pantchito yothamangitsa anthu, ndipo wina $ 25 miliyoni pachaka pantchito yopereka ndale. Zida zopangira zida zapatsa anthu mamiliyoni ambiri ndalama zambiri pantchito zamayiko, komanso mabungwe awo ambiri (monga Makina) ndi gawo limodzi la malo ochezera a Pentagon. Izi zomwe ma kontrakitala ankhondo akhala akuchita ndi mphamvu komanso zowonjezereka osati pa bajeti komanso kupangira ndale zakunja zaku US. Mphamvu yotsogola zamagulu ankhondo yakhala yoopsa kwambiri kuposa momwe Purezidenti Eisenhower mwiniwake adawopa pomwe adachenjeza dziko, mu 1961, motsutsana ndi mphamvu zake.

Onse "kubwezera apolisi" komanso "nkhondo zobwezera ndalama," ngakhale kutsutsana ndi ma Republican osankhidwa ambiri ndi ma Democrat ambiri, akupeza chithandizo chaboma. Atsogoleri andale ambiri akhala akuopa kutijambulidwa ngati “ofewa” kapena “ofewa podziteteza.” Malingaliro opanga okha okonzanso akupanga lingaliro lakuti US imafunikira apolisi ambiri m'misewu ndi asitikali ambiri apolisi padziko lonse lapansi, apo ayi chipwirikiti china chidzalamulira. Makina atolankhani achititsa andale kukhala amantha kupereka malingaliro amtundu wina, osankhika pazankhondo. Koma zomwe zachitika posachedwa zapangitsa "Kubweza Apolisi" kuchoka pachimake kupita ku zokambirana zamtunduwu, ndipo mizinda ina ili kale kugawa mamiliyoni a madola kupolisi kupita ku mapulogalamu ammudzi.

Chimodzimodzinso, posachedwa, kuyitanitsa ndalama zankhondo zaku US zinali zovuta kwambiri ku Washington DC Chaka ndi chaka, onse koma ma Democrat ochepa adalumikizana ndi ma Republican kuti avotere kuwonjezeka kwakukulu pakugwiritsa ntchito ankhondo. Koma tsopano zikuyamba kusintha. Congresswoman Barbara Lee adayambitsa mbiri, kukhumba chisankho kufunsa kuti mabala okwana $ 350 biliyoni azitha, zomwe ndi zopitilira 40% ya bajeti ya Pentagon. Ndipo Sen. Bernie Sanders, pamodzi ndi ena omwe akutukuka, adayambitsa kusintha ku National Defense Authorization Act kuti adule bajeti ya Pentagon ndi 10 peresenti.

Monga momwe tikufunira kutanthauziranso udindo wapolisi mdera lathu, momwemonso tiyenera kuwunikiranso udindo wankhondo mdziko lonse lapansi. Pomwe timayimba "Black Life Lives," tikuyeneranso kukumbukira miyoyo ya anthu omwe amafa tsiku lililonse kuchokera ku bomba la US ku Yemen ndi Afghanistan, zilango zaku US ku Venezuela ndi Iran, komanso zida zaku US ku Palestine ndi Philippines. Kuphedwa kwa anthu akuda aku America kumalimbikitsa anthu ambiri ochita ziwonetsero, zomwe zingathandize kutsegula zidziwitso za mazana zikwi ya anthu omwe si Amereka atengedwa kupita kunkhondo zaku US. Monga nsanja ya Movement for Black Lives nsanja limati: "Gulu lathu liyenera kugwirizana ndi kumasuka padziko lonse lapansi."

Omwe tsopano akufunsa a makamaka militized kuyendetsa ntchito zamalamulo kuyeneranso kukayikira njira yankhondo yolumikizirana ndi akunja. Momwe apolisi osadziwika omwe ali ndi zida zachiwawa ali pachiwopsezo kumadera athu, momwemonso, gulu lankhondo losadziwika, lokhala ndi zida zamano komanso logwira ntchito mobisa, ndi ngozi padziko lapansi. M'mawu ake odana ndi imperialist, "Beyond Vietnam," Dr. King adatchuka kuti: "Sindingathenso kukweza mawu anga motsutsana ndi ziwawa za omwe akuponderezedwa mma ghettos osalankhula kaye momveka bwino kwa wamkulu yemwe amachititsa zachiwawa padziko lapansi lero: boma langa. ”

Ziwonetsero zakuti "Kubweza Apolisi" zachititsa kuti anthu aku America asayang'anenso kusintha kwa apolisi kuti ayambirenso kuchita bwino zachitetezo chaanthu. Chomwechonso, tikufunika kukonzanso bwino chitetezo chathu mdziko lathu lachigiriki lakuti "Nkhondo Yobweza." Ngati tiona kuti nkhanza za maboma sizikutsata m'misewu yathu zikuwopsa, tiyenera kumva chimodzimodzi ndi zachiwawa za boma kunja, ndikuyitanitsa kuchotsedwa kwa apolisi komanso ku Pentagon, ndikubwezeretsanso ndalama zokhoma misonkho kuti timanganso madera akumidzi ndi akunja.
