Ndi Glen Ford, Mkonzi Wamkulu, Malipoti a Black Agenda.
Anthu a ku America amalandira chiwerengero cha anthu okha ochokera m'mayiko omwe awonongedwa ndi nkhondo za ku United States. Kuletsedwa kwa Donald Trump kwa oyendayenda kumakhudza mitundu yomwe kale idakalipo ndi Purezidenti Obama, "chitsanzo chabwino cha kupitiriza kwa ndondomeko ya ufumu wa US kuderalo." Msonkhano wochokera ku Dipatimenti ya boma "otsutsa" ulibe "mawu ochirikiza mtendere wadziko , komanso kulemekeza ulamuliro wa dziko la anthu ena. "
Muzowonetsa zochititsa chidwi kwambiri za kutsutsa kutsutsana ndi ndondomeko ya maulamuliro omwe akhalapo m'mabuku, pa 1,000 Ogwira ntchito m'Dipatimenti ya United States adasainira pulogalamu yotsutsa ndondomeko ya Pulezidenti Donald Trump kwa anthu asanu ndi awiri ochokera kumayiko ambiri achi Muslim omwe amayenda pansi pa nthaka ya US. Cholinga china chaposachedwa pa chisokonezo pakati pa antchito a 18,000 padziko lonse a Dipatimenti ya boma chinachitika mu June chaka chatha, pamene oyimilira a 51 adayitanitsa mafunde a US motsutsana ndi boma la Syria la Purezidenti Bashar al Assad.
Kusemphana kwakukulu kunayenderana ndi nkhondo za ku United States ndi zilango zachuma zomwe zapha ndi kuthawa anthu mamiliyoni ambiri m'mayiko okhudzidwa: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria ndi Yemen. M'malo mwake, "Mpanduko" wa chigawo cha chilimwe udatha kufuna kukakamiza Obama kuti adziphatikize ndi Hillary Clinton ndi "Big Tent" yake yodzaza ndi nkhondo kuti akathane ndi dziko la Syria, pamene memo ikupanga antchito a Dipatimenti ya State amati akutsatira "Chikhalidwe cha America ndi malamulo oyendetsera dziko lapansi," amasungira "zabwino ku America" ndikuletsa "kuwonongeka kwa chuma cha US kuchoka ku chiwonongeko kwa anthu ochokera kunja ndi ophunzira."
Palibe mawu omwe akuchirikiza mtendere wapadziko lonse lapansi, kapena lingaliro lakulemekeza ulamuliro wa anthu ena - zomwe mwina ndizoyenera, popeza izi sizili, ndipo sizinakhalepo, "mfundo zaku America komanso malamulo."
Chodabwitsa n'chakuti, Dipatimenti ya Boma la "dissent channel" inakhazikitsidwa panthawi imodzi mwa zochitika zosawerengeka m'mbiri ya US pamene "mtendere" unali wotchuka: 1971, pamene makina a nkhondo a US akugonjetsedwa mosakayikira akutsikira pansi pothandizira chidole chake ku South Vietnam. Kalelo, anthu ambiri a ku America, kuphatikizapo anyamata a boma la US, ankafuna kuti adziwe kuti "mtendere" womwe unatsala pang'ono kupambana ndi anthu a ku Vietnam, powonongedwa ndi osachepera mamiliyoni anai kum'mwera chakum'mawa kwa Asia. Koma, masiku amenewo atha kale. Kuyambira 2001, nkhondo yakhala yachilendo ku US - makamaka nkhondo yolimbana ndi Asilamu, zomwe tsopano ziri pamtengo wapatali kwambiri wa "American values". Ndithudi, chidani chochuluka cha America chimayang'aniridwa ndi Asilamu kuti Democrats ndi kukhazikitsidwa kwa Republican ayenera kuyesetsa kuti a Russia akhale "malo odana" a American popular psyche. Mayi awiri a ku America, omwe amavomereza kuti amadana nawo, ndi osiyana kwambiri, makamaka chifukwa chakuti Kremlin imayendetsa dziko la Syria ku Syria.
United States nthawizonse wakhala ntchito ya kumanga ufumu. George Washington anautcha "ufumu wamtendere, "Thomas Jefferson anagula ku Louisiana Territory kuchokera ku France pofunafuna"ufumu waukulu, "Ndi zenizeni Alexander Hamilton, mosiyana ndi Broadway version, ankaona kuti US kukhala "ufumu wokondweretsa kwambiri padziko lonse." Chigawo chakumidzi cha akapolo awiri miliyoni (ndi akapolo a theka la milioni a ku Africa) chinasokoneza mgwirizano ndi Britain pofuna kudzipangira okha, zopanda malire ulamuliro, kutsutsana ndi maulamuliro ena achizungu a ku Ulaya. Masiku ano, US ndi Amayi a Onse (Neo) Achikoloni, omwe masiketi awo a zida amasonkhanitsa onse okalamba, ophwanyika, osowa akuluakulu a nthawi yakale.
Pofuna kugwirizanitsa kutsutsana kwakukulu pakati pa chilengedwe cha Amereka ndi chikhalidwe chake, koma, ufumu wa mega-hyper uyenera kukhala wosiyana ndiwu: mphamvu yodalirika, "yapadera" ndi "yosadziwika" yotsutsana ndi dziko lonse. Choncho anthu osakwatiwa ayenera kupangidwa ndi kusamalidwa, monga momwe anachitira US ndi Saudis ku 1980s Afghanistan ndi kulengedwa kwawo kwa mndandanda wa dziko lonse loyendetsa dziko lonse la mayiko, chifukwa chotsutsana ndi mayiko a dziko la Libya ndi Syria.
M'maboma amakono aku America, mayiko achilendo ovuta amatchedwa "mayiko kapena madera omwe akukhudzidwa" - chilankhulo chomwe chimagwiritsidwa ntchito kutchula mayiko asanu ndi awiri omwe akulamulidwa Mchitidwe Wotsutsana ndi Zigawenga Zotsutsana ndi Zigawenga za 2015 lolembedwa ndi Pulezidenti Obama. Purezidenti Donald Trump anagwiritsa ntchito malamulo omwe alipo monga maziko a akuluakulu ake oletsera alendo ochokera m'mayiko amenewo, pomwe akudziwitsa okha Syria. Choncho, zonyansa zamakono ndi chitsanzo chabwino cha kupitiriza kwa ndondomeko ya mfumu ya ku America m'deralo, ndipo sizowonjezera kuti palibe chinthu chatsopano pansi pa dzuwa (dzuwa lomwe, monga ndi chakale cha Britnia, sichikhazikitsa ufumu wa US).
Ufumuwo umadzisunga wokha, ndipo umayesetsa mosalekeza kuwonjezeka, kupyolera mu zida zankhondo ndi chilango chokhwimitsa chachuma chochirikizidwa ndi kuopsezedwa kwa kuwonongedwa. Iyo imapha anthu ndi mamiliyoni, pamene ikulola chidutswa chaching'ono cha anthu omwe akuzunzidwa kuti afune malo opatulika mkati mwa malire a US, pogwiritsa ntchito phindu lawo pa ufumuwo.
Donald Trump akulamulira mwachindunji Zimakhudza anthu a 20,000, malinga ndi United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees. Purezidenti Obama adapha anthu aku Libya pafupifupi 50,000 mu 2011, ngakhale US sivomereza kuti idapha munthu m'modzi. Purezidenti Woyamba Wakuda amayang'anira aliyense mwa theka la miliyoni aku Syria omwe amwalira kuyambira pomwe adayambitsa nkhondo yake yolimbana ndi dzikolo chaka chomwecho. Ziwopsezo zonse zomwe zidaperekedwa kwa anthu amitundu isanu ndi iwiri yolamulidwa kuyambira pomwe US idathandizira Iraq munkhondo yake ya 1980s yolimbana ndi Iran pafupifupi mamiliyoni anayi - chiwonongeko chachikulu kuposa chomwe US adachita ku Southeast Asia, mibadwo iwiri yapitayo - pomwe dipatimenti ya US State idakhazikitsa “mpata wotsutsana” wake
Koma, gulu la mtendere liri kuti? M'malo mofuna kuimitsa chiwonongeko chomwe chimapangitsa kuti anthu ambiri apulumuke, omwe amadziwika kuti "progressives" alowe mu mwambo wa macabre wodetsa "mayiko omwe akuda nkhawa" omwe athandizidwa nawo, zomwe mbiri ya US imakhala nayo ndi tsankho ndi Islamophobia. Nzika zikuluzikuluzi zikudziyamika okha kuti ndi anthu amodzi okha "apadera", chifukwa amavomereza kuvomereza kupezeka kwa chigawo chaching'ono cha anthu a US omwe achita.
Anthu ena onse, komabe, akuwona nkhope yeniyeni ya America - ndipo padzakhala kuwerengera.
