Yakafuridzirwa neBlack Lives Matter movement, guta reCharlottesville, Va., Kanzuru yeguta yakavhota kuti ibvise chifananidzo chaRobert E. Lee (nebhiza raasina kumbokwira) kubva kuLee Park, uye kutumidza zita nekugadzirisa zvakare park.
Chifananidzo cheuyu asiri Charlottesvillian chakange chamiswa mupaki yevachena chete muma1920s pakuda kwemunhu akapfuma zvakanyanya uye ane rusaruraganda. Saka, kuti hurumende inomiririra ivhote, kutevera hurongwa hwehungwaru hweruzhinji hune simba uye hwakasiyana siyana kubva kuvagari vemuguta - kana pasina chimwe chinhu - danho rekuenda kudemokrasi.
Ndinofunga kuti zvakanyanya zvakare. Pane nyaya mbiri dzirikunetsa pano, hapana kana dziri nyaya dzakafa dzekare. Imwe rudzi. Imwe yacho ihondo.
Kutevera kuvhota kweCity Council, vaviri vakamirira Republican kugavhuna Corey Stewart naDenver Riggleman. Wapikisa hasha dzavo. “Haugone kudzokorora nhoroondo. Vadzvanyiriri chete ndivo vanoedza kudzima nhoroondo. Izvi zvakangofanana nekushora nhaka yako. Ndichaita chero chandinofanira kuita, iye zvino uye sagavhuna, kumisa kuparara kwenhoroondo iyi.

Sagavhuna, ini ndichachengetedza zviyeuchidzo zvenhaka yedu, asi kwete chete yeHondo yeVanhu, funga iwe. . . . Havasi ivo chete vakamira vachipokana nemitemo yakati wandei yeVirginia, asi varikupfira mate pamberi pevakarwa hondo yese - hapana chiyeuchidzo chekuzvipira chero kwemurwi wehondo chero ipi zvayo inofanira kuputswa nemapurisa epfungwa dzakasununguka, "akadaro. Riggleman.
Zvino, Charlottesville anga ari pano kwemazana emakore. Iine zviyeuchidzo zvishoma zvevoruzhinji, zvinenge zvese zvevagadziri vehondo. Kuna George Rogers Clark ari kutasva bhiza achienda kunotora chikamu mukupondwa kwevanhu. Kune Lewis naClark vari kuongorora, Sacagawea akapfugama padivi pavo sembwa. Kune hofori dzeequestrian zviumbwa zvaRobert E. Lee uye zvakare Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, pamwe neyechinyakare generic Confederate musoja. Pane chiyeuchidzo chekuponda mamiriyoni matanhatu ekuSoutheast Asia muHondo yeVietnam. Kune akati wandei zvifananidzo paUVA, mumwe waThomas Jefferson, mumwe wemutyairi wendege akafa muhondo. Uye ndozvazviri. Saka, ingangoita nhoroondo yese yeCharlottesville, yakanaka uye yakaipa uye isina hanya, haipo.
Varipi vese vadzidzisi vakuru uye maartist uye vanorwira kodzero dzevanhu uye vezvezvakatipoteredza nevatambi uye vadetembi uye suffragettes uye abolitionists uye vatambi? Ndekupi, nokuda kwechinhu ichocho, Mambokadzi Charlotte pachake (ane runyerekupe rwenguva refu, zvakarurama kana kuti kwete, kuva nemadzitateguru eAfrica)? Ndeipi nhoroondo yezvizvarwa zvekuAmerica vaigara pano vasingaparadze mamiriro ekunze epasi? Ndekupi nhoroondo yedzidzo, yeindasitiri, yeuranda, yekusarurana, yekukurudzira runyararo, yehukama neguta, yekugamuchira vapoteri? Vakadzi, vana, vana chiremba, vanamukoti, vanamuzvinabhizimisi, vane mukurumbira, vasina pekugara varipi? Ko mapurisa kana varatidziri varipi? Vanodzima moto varipi? Vaimbi vemumigwagwa varipi? Dave Matthews Band riripi? Julian Bond arikupi? Edgar Allan Poe arikupi? William Faulkner aripi? Georgia O'Keefe iripi? Munhu anogona kuenderera mberi nekusingaperi.
Zvikumbiro zve "kudzima nhoroondo" zvinosekesa. Kusarudza kukudza uye kurangarira zvimwe zvidiki zvenhoroondo ndizvo chete zvinomboitwa kana zviyeuchidzo zvawedzerwa, zvabviswa, kana kuchinjirwa vamwe - kana zvikasara zvakamira. Zvizhinji zvenhoroondo zvichagara zvisina kurangarirwa munzvimbo dzedu dzeveruzhinji. Kuwedzera zviyeuchidzo zvitsva uchisiya Lee naJackson vari munzvimbo zvaizongofanana nekutsigira zvinotaurirana naLee naJackson. Uye danho rekusiya Jackson ikoko rinongoita izvozvo. Rinotaura zvinhu zviviri zvikuru: rusaruraganda uye hondo. Kunze kweunyanzvi hwezvivezwa, kunze kweunhu hwevarwi vakafa, aya mashoko erusaruraganda nehondo. Uye zvine basa.
Nyika inokwanisa kuita munhu akaita saJefferson Beauregard Sessions III gweta guru rehurumende ine kurwisana kunoenderera mberi nerusaruraganda. Zviratidzo zvakamirira rusaruraganda kwemakumi emakore, zviratidzo zvehondo yakarwirwa kodzero yekuwedzera huranda, inofanira kuiswa parutivi kana tichizoenda mberi.
Nyika inopa simba vanhu vakaita saSteve Bannon ine dambudziko nekushomeka kwenhoroondo kuhondo. Bannon inotaura kuti nhoroondo inofamba nematenderedzwa, imwe neimwe yakavhurwa nehondo yakaipisisa kupfuura yaimbovapo, neitsva iri pakona. (Uye kana nhoroondo isingaite, Bannon anotarisira kuita zvishoma zvake kufambisa izvo zvinonzi hazvidzivisike.)
Inosungirwa tangent yevaverengi vebato: anotungamira anowedzera mauto mukati memakore masere apfuura, zvisina basa kutaura, anga ari munyoro anonzi Barack Obama.
Yakawanda yenhoroondo yeCharlottesville yanga isiri hondo. Hapana chinhu chisingadzivisiki kana chakasikwa kana chine mbiri pamusoro pehondo. Huzhinji hwehondo dzeUS hadzina zviyeuchidzo zveCharlottesville. Izvo zvese zvemuno neUS kuedza kwerunyararo hakuna kuzivikanwa neruzhinji muCharlottesville. Vamwe vari kukurudzira kuti mapaki akagadziridzwa anosanganisira mamwe chiratidzo zvezvishuvo nekurwira rugare. Ndinofunga kuti ingava budiriro.
