Ukuba loo mxholo uvakala ngathi "UThixo Ufile" kuwe, unokuba uvela eUnited States. Kuphela oko abantu abahlala kweli lizwe elinye lommandla waseMelika bakubiza ngokuba “ngumMerika” ophethe olo hlobo lothando lweflegi. Ukuba, kwelinye icala, ufumana ukubukela ipeyinti yomile kubandakanyeka ngakumbi kunokuthandabuza ukulinda uSuku lweFlegi olulandelayo, unokuba ngumgqatswa wommi wehlabathi.
Enyanisweni, ndicinga Usuku Lweflegi kufuneka irhoxiswe. Ayisiyo iholide ukuba urhulumente, ngakumbi emkhosini, ngakumbi i-United States yonke, iwuyeke umsebenzi. Kuyavakala, enyanisweni, ukuba nakuphi na ukuphazamiseka kobusoshiyali kwiishedyuli zomsebenzi kuya kukhubekisa iflegi ngokwayo.
Ke sinokulurhoxisa uSuku lweFlegi ngokungayihoyi kwaphela, kunye neVeki yeFlegi edibeneyo, usuku lokuzalwa loMkhosi wase-US ngaxeshanye, amabali asentsomini malunga noBetsy Ross, kunye nombhiyozo wemfazwe ngo-1812 engazange iphumelele ukuthatha iCanada, yafumana iWashington. I-DC yatshisa, yaza yabulala abantu abaninzi ngokungenanjongo kumlo esiwubhiyozelayo ngophicotho olubi lokucula phambi kwayo yonke iminyhadala yezemidlalo kuba ibala elimibalabala lasinda kulo.
Olu suku lweFlegi, endaweni yokuzama ukongeza, ukuba kuyenzeka, kodwa kuboniswe esidlangalaleni iiflegi zase-US kwabo sele bebhabha, hlisa iflegi endaweni yoko. Musa ukuyitshisa, nangona kunjalo. Akukho ngqiqweni ukunika abanquli beflegi abafeli-nkolo. Endaweni yoko, ndincoma iBetsy Rossing kuyo. Sika kwaye uthunge loo flegi kwimpahla onokuthi unikele ngayo kwabo badinga impahla - icandelo elibalulekileyo loluntu kweli lizwe elityebileyo ngokumangalisayo apho ubutyebi bugxininiswe ngaphaya kwamanqanaba aphakathi - imeko esiphazanyiswa kuyo. inxalenye yazo zonke iiflegi zedarn.
Apha eCharlottesville, eVirginia, sinesixeko esithandekayo esinobuhle bendalo, imbali, iimpawu zomhlaba, imifanekiso ekhoyo, amagcisa anetalente, ummi obandakanyekayo okwaziyo ukuxoxa-mpikiswano, ukanti akukho flegi yaseCharlottesville. Sinengxoxo-mpikiswano enkulu malunga nokuba bayisuse kwizikhundla zabo ezibalaseleyo yonke imifanekiso eqingqiweyo yabalweli beConfederate. Ingxabano engaphantsi, indleko, kunye nexesha elide iya kuba yongeza kwindawo yendawo iflegi yaseCharlottesville engazange ibhiyozele ubukhoboka, ubuhlanga, imfazwe, okanye ukutshatyalaliswa kwendalo.
Intoni? Ngoku ndithanda iiflegi? Ewe kunjalo, ndithanda amaqhekeza amahle amalaphu ajikelezayo xa engeyiyo imifanekiso yemfazwe kunye nokwahlukana. EUnited States, iiflegi zasekhaya nezelizwe azenzi nayiphi na imvakalelo yokuphakama okanye ubutshaba kubo bonke abantu. Kodwa iflegi yemfazwe, iflegi etyalwe ngumkhosi wase-US kumazwe ali-175, yenza kanye loo nto.
U-Alumnus we-UVA uWoodrow Wilson wabhengeza uSuku lweFlegi kunyaka ngaphambi kokutyhala i-United States kwiMfazwe yeHlabathi yokuQala, njengenxalenye yelo phulo losasazo. ICongress yajoyina unyaka ngaphambi kwemfazwe yaseKorea. Kwiminyaka emihlanu kamva "phantsi koThixo" yongezwa kwiSibhambathiso soKuthobela, isifungo esabhalwa ekuqaleni ngumshumayeli we-fascist, ekuqaleni esasilawulwa kunye nabathembisi bebambe iingalo zabo zasekunene ngokuthe tye, ngaphandle nangaphezulu. Oku kwatshintshwa kwaba yindlela yokwenza isandla-phezu kwentliziyo ngexesha leMfazwe Yehlabathi II kuba amaNazi ayesamkele isikhahlelo sokuqala njengesabo. Kule mihla, abatyeleli abavela phesheya bahlala bothuka xa bebona abantwana base-US beyalelwa ukuba beme kwaye benze isifungo sokuthobela iqhekeza lelaphu elinemibala.
Kuninzi "lwaseMelika" luvela ngokwemvelo. Iflegi ibisoloko ilapha kwaye iya kuhlala ikho, kanye njengeemfazwe ezilwelwa phantsi kwazo, apho ubomi buthatyathwa kwaye bubekwe emngciphekweni, apho ubomi bubuye batshintshiselwane. Iintsapho eziphulukene nomntu omthandayo emfazweni zinikwa iflegi endaweni yoko. Uninzi lwabantu baseMelika bayayixhasa inkululeko yokuthetha kwiimeko ezininzi ezicaphukisayo, kubandakanya nelungelo leenkampani ezinkulu zeendaba ukuba zisinike izizathu zobuxoki zeemfazwe. Kodwa uninzi luxhasa ukuvalwa kokutshiswa kweeflegi - okanye kunoko, iflegi yase-US. Unokutshisa iiflegi ze-96% zoluntu. Ungatshisa ilizwe lakho okanye iflegi yendawo. Ungatshisa iflegi yehlabathi. Kodwa ukutshisa iflegi yase-US kuya kuba kukuhlambela. Ukubingelela ubomi obutsha kwiflegi kwenye imfazwe, nangona kunjalo, ngumthendeleko.
Kodwa umkhosi wase-US ngoku une-robotic drones onokuzithumela emfazweni. Iirobhothi nazo zikwazi ngokugqibeleleyo ukufunga isifungo sokuthembeka, nangona zingenantliziyo yokubeka izandla.
Mhlawumbi kufuneka sigcine iintliziyo zethu zokwenyani zabantu ngenxa yezinto ezingenakukwazi ukuzenza iirobhothi. Mhlawumbi sifanele sikhulule indawo yethu kuyo yomibini imifanekiso eqingqiweyo ye-Confederate kunye neflegi ekhoyo yonke indawo yombuso womanyano okhoyo.
