Pa 1 Juni, Purezidenti Trump adawopseza kuti atumiza asitikali ankhondo aku US kuti agonjetse anthu okhala mwamtendere ku Black Lives Matter m'mizinda kudutsa America. Akuluakulu a boma la Trump ndi olamulira boma atumiza anthu osachepera 17,000 Asitikali a National Guard kudutsa dzikolo. Mu likulu la dzikolo, a Trump adaponya ndege zisanu ndi zinayi za Blackhawk, ndege zikwizikwi, Asitikali a National Guard ochokera kumaboma asanu ndi limodzi ndi osachepera 1,600 Asitikali a Gulu Lankhondo ndi asitikali othandizira ankhondo ochokera ku 82nd Airborne Division, olembedwa kuti anyamula.

Pambuyo pa sabata lamalamulo osagwirizana panthawi yomwe a Trump amafuna kuti asitikali 10,000 mu likulu, asitikali okangalika adawongoleredwa kuti abwerere kuzikepe zawo ku North Carolina ndi New York pa Juni 5, chifukwa chikhalidwe chamtendere chidapanga kugwiritsa ntchito ankhondo kukakamiza zachidziwikire kuti ndizosafunikira, zowopsa komanso zosasamala. Koma aku America adasiyidwa modzidzimutsidwa ndi asitikali okhala ndi zida zambiri, mpweya wakugwetsa, zipolopolo ndi akasinja omwe anasandutsa misewu ya US kukhala zigawo zankhondo. Anadabwitsanso kuzindikira kuti zinali zosavuta kuti Purezidenti Trump, modzi modzi, agwirizane gulu lamphamvu ngati ili.

Koma sitiyenera kudabwitsidwa. Timalola gulu lathu lolamulira kuti lipangire zida zowononga kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi ndikuziyika m'manja mwa purezidenti wosagwirizana. Momwe zionetsero zotsutsana mwankhanza za apolisi zidasefukira m'misewu ya dziko lathu, a Trump adalimbikitsidwa kutembenuza gulu lankhondo ili kuti atigonjetse — ndipo atha kukhala ndicholinga chodzachitanso ngati pakhala chisankho mu Novembala.

Anthu aku America akupeza kukoma pang'ono kwa moto ndi mkwiyo womwe asitikali aku US ndi othandizana nawo amapatsira anthu kutsidya lina pafupipafupi kuchokera ku Iraq ndi Afghanistan kupita ku Yemen ndi Palestine, komanso kuopseza komwe anthu a Iran, Venezuela, North Korea ndi maiko ena omwe adakhala nthawi yayitali pansi paopseza ndi US kuti aphulitse, akuwukira kapena kuwalanda.

Kwa anthu aku Africa-America, mkwiyo waposachedwa kwambiri womwe apolisi ndi asitikali ankhondo ndikungochulukitsa kwa nkhondo yocheperako yomwe olamulira aku America akhala akuchita nawo kwazaka zambiri. Kuchokera pakuwopsa kwaukapolo mpaka pambuyo pa Nkhondo Yapachiweniweni ndikumupatsa mwayi wopondereza a Jim Crow mpaka masiku ano, kuwatsekera m'ndende komanso apolisi ankhondo, America nthawi zonse yakhala ikutenga anthu aku Africa-America ngati chikhomo chokhazikika chomwe chingagwiritsidwe ntchito ndi "kukhala m'malo awo" ndi mphamvu komanso nkhanza monga zimafunira.

Masiku ano, anthu akuda aku America akhoza kuwomberedwa ndi apolisi kuwirikiza kawiri ngati azungu aku America ndipo mwina adzaponyedwa m'ndende kasanu ndi kawiri. Madalaivala akuda ali ndi mwayi wofufuzidwa katatu komanso womangidwa kawiri pamayimidwe a magalimoto, ngakhale apolisi ali ndi mwayi wopeza zotsutsana ndi magalimoto azungu. Zonsezi zimangowonjezera apolisi komanso ndende, pomwe amuna aku Africa-America ndiye omwe amafunidwa kwambiri, ngakhale apolisi aku US ali ankhondo komanso Pentagon.

Kuzunzidwa kwa tsankho sikutha pamene anthu aku Africa-America akutuluka pachipata cha ndende. Mu 2010, gawo limodzi mwa atatu mwa amuna aku Africa-America anali ndi chikhulupiriro cholimba pazolemba zawo, kutseka zitseko zantchito, nyumba, thandizo la ophunzira, mapulogalamu oteteza chitetezo monga SNAP ndi thandizo la ndalama, ndipo m'maiko ena ufulu wovota. Kuchokera koyambirira koti "stop and frisk" kapena kuyimitsa magalimoto, amuna aku Africa-America akukumana ndi kachitidwe komwe kangapangire kuti akhale nzika zachiwiri komanso umphawi.

Monga momwe anthu aku Iran, North Korea ndi Venezuela akuvutika ndi umphawi, njala, matenda omwe angathe kupewedwa komanso kufa ngati zotsatira zoyipa zakusaloletsa kwachuma ku US, kusankhana kwadongosolo kumakhala ndi zofanana ku US, kumapangitsa anthu aku Africa-America ku umphawi wapadera, komanso pawiri kuchuluka kwa kufa kwa azungu ndi masukulu omwe adasiyanitsidwa komanso osasiyananso monga kudalirana kumakhala kovomerezeka. Kusagwirizana kwakukulu komwe kumabweretsa thanzi komanso miyezo yamoyo kumawoneka ngati chifukwa chachikulu chomwe anthu aku Africa-America akumwalira ndi Covid-19 mopitilira kuwirikiza kawiri kwa azungu aku America.

Kumasulira dziko lokhazikika

Pomwe nkhondo yaku US yokhudza anthu akuda kunyumba tsopano ikuwululidwa ku America konse- komanso padziko lonse lapansi- kuti awone, omwe akuvutika pankhondo zaku US kumayiko ena akupitilizabe kubisika. Trump yakulitsa nkhondo zowopsa zomwe adalandira kuchokera kwa Obama, ndikuponya bomba ndi zida zambiri mzaka 3 kuposa zomwe Bush II kapena Obama adachita m'mawu awo oyamba.

Koma aku America samawona zowopsa za bomba. Samawona matupi olemala ndi olemala ndipo zophulitsa bomba amazisiya. Kulankhula pagulu ku America pankhani yankhondo kwatembenukira pafupifupi kuzomwe takumana nazo komanso kudzipereka kwa asitikali aku US, omwe ndi achibale athu komanso anansi athu. Monga miyeso iwiri pakati pa azungu ndi akuda omwe amakhala ku US, palinso muyeso wofanana pakati pamiyoyo ya asitikali aku US ndi mamiliyoni akuvulala ndi miyoyo yowonongeka mbali ina ya zisokonezo omwe asitikali ankhondo aku US ndi zida za US akuwombera kwina. maiko.

Akuluakulu opuma pantchito akamayankhula motsutsana ndi kufuna kwa Trump kuti atumize ankhondo akugwira ntchito m'misewu yaku America, tiyenera kumvetsetsa kuti akuteteza molondola njira ziwiri izi. Ngakhale anakakamiza ndalama ku US Treasure kuti ivule ziwopsezo zowononga anthu akumayiko ena, ngakhale kuti alephera "kupambana" nkhondo ngakhale zitasokonekera, gulu lankhondo ku US lakhala ndi mbiri yabwino kwambiri ndi anthu aku US. Izi zakhululukitsa kwakukulu gulu lankhondo kuti lisakulidwe pagulu ndi ziphuphu zotsogola zamabungwe ena aku America.

A generals a Mattis ndi a Allen, omwe adabwera kudzatsutsana ndi a Trump omwe achitetezo aku US alanda omenyera ufulu, akumvetsetsa bwino kuti njira yofulumira kwambiri yosokoneza mbiri ya gulu lankhondo la "teflon" ingakhale kufalitsa mozama komanso momasuka motsutsana ndi anthu aku America ku United States.

Monga momwe tikuwululira zowola m'magulu apolisi aku US ndikupempha kuti apolisi abwezere ndalama, chomwechonso tiyenera kuvumbulutsa zowola mu mfundo zakunja zaku US ndikupempha kubweza Pentagon. Nkhondo zaku US pa anthu a maiko ena zimayendetsedwa ndi tsankho limodzi ndikukonda chuma chimodzi monga nkhondo yolimbana ndi anthu aku Africa ndi aku America m'mizinda yathu. Kwakanthawi, taloleza andale komanso atsogoleri azamabizinesi kutigawaniza ndi kutiwongolera, kupereka ndalama kwa apolisi ndi Pentagon pazosowa zenizeni za anthu, kutikakamiza kulimbana kwathu ndikutitsogolera kunkhondo yolimbana ndi anansi athu akunja.

Muyeso womwe umayeretsa miyoyo ya asitikali aku US kuposa omwe anthu omwe mayiko awo amawaphulitsa ndikuwawukirawo ndiwosakhulupirira komanso wowopsa ngati womwe umayamika azungu amakhala ku America. Momwe timalankhulira "miyoyo ya anthu akuda," tiyenera kuphatikiza miyoyo ya anthu akuda komanso a bulauni omwe amafa tsiku lililonse kuchokera ku sanction US ku Venezuela, miyoyo ya anthu akuda komanso a bulauni omwe akuwombedwa ndi bomba la US ku Yemen ndi Afghanistan, miyoyo ya anthu zamtundu ku Palestina omwe adagwidwa ndi misozi, kumenyedwa ndikuwombera ndi zida za Israeli zomwe zimalipiridwa ndi okhometsa msonkho ku US. Tiyenera kukhala okonzeka kuwonetsa mgwirizano ndi anthu odziteteza ku chiwawa chothandizidwa ndi US ngati ku Minneapolis, New York ndi Los Angeles, kapena Afghanistan, Gaza ndi Iran.

Sabata yapitayi, abwenzi athu padziko lonse lapansi atipatsa chitsanzo chabwino cha mgwirizano wamtunduwu padziko lapansi. Kuchokera ku London, Copenhagen ndi Berlin kupita ku New Zealand, Canada ndi Nigeria, anthu adatsanulira mumisewu kuwonetsa mgwirizano ndi anthu aku Africa-America. Amamvetsetsa kuti US ndiye maziko a ndale komanso zachuma zapadziko lonse lapansi zomwe zikulamulirabe dziko lapansi zaka 60 pambuyo pa kutha kwa chikumbumtima cha azungu. Amamvetsetsa kuti kulimbana kwathu ndiye nkhondo yawo, ndipo tiyenera kumvetsetsa kuti tsogolo lawo ndilonso tsogolo lathu.

Chifukwa chake ena akamayimirira nafe, tiyenera kuyimirira nawo. Pamodzi tiyenera kugwiritsa ntchito mphindi iyi kuti tisinthe kuchoka pa kusintha kwawonjezereka kupita ku kusinthika kwadongosolo kwenikweni, osati mkati mwa US koma mdziko lonse la atsankho, amakono omwe amapangidwa ndi asitikali aku US.
