NguDavid Swanson, uAgasti 10, 2017, Masilinge iNdemokhrasi.
Ndineemvakalelo ezixubeneyo malunga nokuba ndiza kuphoswa yindibano enkulu yamva nje ye-fascism apha eCharlottesville, kuba ndiza kuba kwenye indawo ndithatha inxaxheba kuqeqesho lwe-kayak oluzayo. Flotilla ukuya kwiPentagon yoXolo kunye nokusiNgqongileyo.
Kuyandivuyisa ukukhumbula i-fascism kunye nobuhlanga kunye nentiyo kunye nompu wokudubula. Ndiyaxolisa ngokuphoswa kukuba lapha ukuze ndithethe ngokuchasene nayo.
Ndinethemba lokuba kunokubakho into efana neqela elichasayo elingenabundlobongela nelingenanzondo, kodwa ndikrokrela kakhulu ukuba inani elincinci labachasi abanobundlobongela nabanentiyo bobuhlanga liya kuyonakalisa loo nto.
Ndichulumancile kuba ukuthotywa kwelitye lesikhumbuzo lemfazwe yocalucalulo liye lahamba phambili. Ndidakumbile kukuba, nangona ukulibaziseka okusemthethweni kokuyisusa kusekwe ekubeni sisikhumbuzo semfazwe, elinye icala liyifuna phantsi ngenxa yocalucalulo, elinye icala liyifuna ngenxa yobuhlanga, kwaye wonke umntu wonwabe ngokupheleleyo ukupakisha. idolophu enezikhumbuzo zemfazwe.
Ndiyoyika ukuva ukuba aba bacalucalulo baphinda bathi “iRashiya ngumhlobo wethu!” oku kuthetha ukuba bakholelwa ngaphandle kobungqina bokuba iRussia yonakele unyulo lwase-US kwaye bayayibulela, kodwa ndinethemba lokuba baye badlulela kwezinye iingoma ezingaqhelekanga - nangona ithemba lam lincinci lokuba nabani na angacula "iRussia ngumhlobo wethu" kwaye bathetha ngayo ukuba bangathanda ukwakha uxolo nobuhlobo phakathi kwamaMelika namaRussia.
Njengoko bendikhe ndabhala kwixesha elidlulileyo, ndicinga ukuba ukungabahoyi abacalucalulo kunye neendibano zabo akulunganga, kwaye ndicinga ukuba ukujongana nabo ngomdlalo wokukhwaza okhohlakeleyo akulunganga. Ukuthetha ngokuphandle ngothando nengqondo ephilileyo nokuqonda kulungile. Siza kubona kwakhona kule veki enye yezo ndlela. Kwakhona kusenokwenzeka ukuba sibone enye indlela ukusetyenziswa kakubi kwegunya ngamapolisa axhobileyo. (Khumbula xa abantu baseMelika babedla ngokucinga ngamapolisa njengabona bantu babalaseleyo abanobuhlanga bobuhlanga? Kwakunini oko, malunga nenyanga edlulileyo?)
Utyekelo lokungabahoyi abacalucalulo kwaye banethemba lokuba baya kubhanga baye kwimbali efana nezilingo ngobunzima okanye ukudutyulwa komelele. Xa sijonga izithethe ezithandwayo ekuhlaleni kunye nokuncipha kwamalungu abo, kubonakala ngathi i-KKK injalo endleleni yokuphuma. Kutheni le nto benikela bona okanye amaqabane abo esuti namaqhina nayiphi na ingqalelo enokubanceda ukuba babakhuthaze?
Ewe, into enye, ubuhlanga obunobundlobongela abukho endleleni yokuphuma ukuba sigweba ngonyulo lukamongameli, ulwaphulo-mthetho lwentiyo, ulwaphulo-mthetho lwamapolisa, inkqubo yentolongo, ukhetho loluntu oluza kuqhuba imibhobho yegesi, okanye ezinye izinto ezininzi. Kwaye ekuphela kwendlela amagqabantshintshi am malunga "nezithethe zentlalo" kumhlathi odlulileyo enza nayiphi na ingqiqo kukuba sicima ibhombu eyamkelwa ngokubanzi yezizwe ezisixhenxe zamaSilamsi ezinolusu olumnyama ngandlel' ithile ngokungacaluli ngokobuhlanga.
Indlela yokwenyani engenabundlobongela kubantu abakholelwa ukuba bamela ubulungisa njengoko bebona ukuba ayilulo uqhanqalazo kodwa sisimemo. Kungekudala, eTexas, iqela laceba uqhankqalazo oluchasene namaSilamsi kwimosque. Isihlwele esinobundlobongela esichasene namaSilamsi sabonakala. AmaSilamsi asuka kwi-mosque azibeka phakathi kwala maqela mabini, ecela abaza kuba ngabakhuseli bawo ukuba bahambe, emva koko bameme abaqhankqalazi abachasene namaSilamsi ukuba bazibandakanye nabo kwindawo yokutyela ukuze bathethe ngezinto. Benjenjalo.
Ndingathanda ukubona abalamli abanobuchule kunye nabanye abanentliziyo elungileyo nentliziyo elungileyo badlulisela isimemo kubacalucalulo abatyelela eCharlottesville ukuba beze bengaxhobanga ukuze baxoxe ngamaqela amancinane, ngaphandle kweekhamera okanye abaphulaphuli, yintoni na esohlulayo. Ngaba abanye babo banokubuqonda ubuntu babo batyholwa ukuba abanye bethu baye baqaphela intswela-bulungisa abaye bajamelana nayo okanye intswela-bulungisa abayibonayo xa beqinisekisa okanye ekwamkelekeni kwabo “abamhlophe” kuphela njengesihloko sezithuko, hayi njengomthombo wokugxeka. Ukuzingca ngendlela evumeleke ngayo zonke ezinye iintlanga nezizwe?
Siphila kwilizwe elenze imfazwe enkulu yeprojekthi yentlalontle, ilizwe eliye lagxininisa ubutyebi balo ngaphaya kwamanqanaba aphakathi, ilizwe eliye lafumana amanqanaba amangalisayo okubandezeleka okungeyomfuneko okwenziwa mandundu kukuqonda ukungeyomfuneko kunye nokungabikho kobulungisa. Nangona kunjalo into esinayo yenkxaso yentlalo yoluntu kwimfundo, uqeqesho, ukunakekelwa kwezempilo, ukunyamekelwa kwabantwana, ukuthutha, kunye nengeniso isasazwa ngeendlela ezingezizo zonke, ezihlukanisayo ezisikhuthaza ukuba silwe phakathi kwethu. Amalungu e-KKK abeze eCharlottesville kwinyanga ephelileyo, kwaye uninzi lwabacalucalulo abaza kuthi gqi kule veki, abafumenanga. Abaphili ngokuxhaphaza abasebenzi okanye amabanjwa okanye ungcoliseko okanye imfazwe. Basanda kukhetha into eyingozi kakhulu ngenxa yetyala labo, xa kuthelekiswa nabo batyhola iRiphabhlikhi okanye iDemocrats okanye imithombo yeendaba.
Xa besiza kusigweba ngokufuna ukususa umfanekiso oqingqiweyo, asifanele sibajongele phantsi njengeenjengele ezinkulu zikhwela amahashe alingana nezilo. Sifanele sibamkele ukuze bazicacise.
Abo kuthi bakugqala kulihlazo ukuba nomfanekiso omkhulu kaRobert E. Lee ekhwele ihashe lakhe epakini embindini weCharlottesville, kunye nomnye weStonewall Jackson ngalo mbandela, kufuneka bazame ukuqonda abo bacinga ngokususa enye yale mifanekiso iqingqiweyo. ngumsindo.
Andibangi ukuba ndiyabaqonda, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo abacebisi ukuba bacinge ngokufanayo bonke. Kodwa kukho imixholo ethile ephindaphindiweyo ukuba umamela okanye ufunda amagama abo bacinga ukuba uLee kufuneka ahlale. Kufanelekile ukumamela. Bangabantu. Bathetha kakuhle. Abaphambani.
Okokuqala, masibeke ecaleni iingxoxo esizizo hayi uzama ukuqonda.
Ezinye iingxoxo ezigqithiswayo azikho ngundoqo kweli nzame lokuqonda elinye icala. Umzekelo, ingxabano yokuba ukususa umfanekiso oqingqiweyo kubiza imali, ayisiyiyo into endinomdla kuyo apha. Andiqondi ukuba iinkxalabo zeendleko ziqhuba uninzi lwenkxaso yomfanekiso oqingqiweyo. Ukuba sonke besivumelana ukuba ukususa umfanekiso oqingqiweyo kubalulekile, siya kuyifumana imali. Ukunikela nje ngomfanekiso oqingqiweyo kwimyuziyam okanye kwisixeko esithile apho uLee ehlala ngokwenene kunokuvelisa umnini omtsha ozimisele ukuhlawulela isithuthi. Heck, yinikele kwiTrump Winery kwaye mhlawumbi baya kuyilanda ngoLwesine ozayo. [1] Enyanisweni, isiXeko sigqibe ekubeni siyithengise, mhlawumbi ngenzuzo enkulu.
Kwakhona i-tangential apha yingxoxo yokuba ukususa umfanekiso oqingqiweyo kucima imbali. Ngokuqinisekileyo bambalwa kwaba bathanda iimbali abaqhankqalazayo xa umkhosi wase-US wawudiliza umfanekiso oqingqiweyo kaSaddam Hussein. Ngaba wayengeyonxalenye yembali yaseIraq? Ngaba iCIA yayingathethi kakuhle kwaye iye kwimigudu emikhulu ekuncedeni ukumbeka egunyeni? Ngaba inkampani yaseVirginia ibingambonelelanga ngezinto ezibalulekileyo zokwenza izixhobo zekhemikhali? Intle okanye imbi, imbali akufunekanga ichithwe kwaye icinywe!
Enyanisweni, akukho mntu uthetha loo nto. Akukho mntu uxabisa nayiphi na imbali. Bambalwa abavumayo ukuba iindawo ezimbi zembali ziyimbali kwaphela. Abantu bayayixabisa intwana ethile yembali. Umbuzo ngulo: kutheni? Ngokuqinisekileyo abaxhasi bembali abakholelwa ukuba i-99.9% yembali yaseCharlottesville engamelwanga kumfanekiso oqingqiweyo oqingqiweyo icinyiwe. Kutheni le nto le mbali yembali kufuneka ibe yisikhumbuzo?
Kusenokubakho abo banenkxalabo engokwembali iyiminyaka nje engama-90 okanye engaphezulu yokuba lo mfanekiso ulapho kule paki. Ubukho bayo apho yimbali abaxhalabileyo, mhlawumbi. Mhlawumbi abafuni ukuba itshintshe ngenxa nje yokuba kube njalo. Ndinovelwano ngaloo mbono, kodwa kufuneka isetyenziswe ngokukhethayo. Ngaba kufuneka sigcine isakhelo esakhiwe ngesiqingatha sehotele kudederhu lwedolophu kuba abantwana bam abakaze bazi enye into? Ngaba imbali yatshatyalaliswa ngokudala ivenkile yedolophu kwasekuqaleni? Into endinomdla wokuzama ukuyiqonda ayisosizathu sokuba abantu bafune nto yokutshintsha. Akukho mntu ufuna nto itshintshileyo. Endaweni yoko, ndifuna ukuqonda ukuba kutheni bengafuni ukuba le nto itshintshe.
Abaxhasi bomfanekiso oqingqiweyo ka-Lee endikhe ndathetha naye okanye ndafunda okanye ndangxoliswa ngokuzicingela "njengabamhlophe." Abanye babo kunye neenkokeli zabo kunye nabaxhaphazi basenokuba ngabagxekayo ngokupheleleyo kwaye babe lusizi. Uninzi lwabo alukho. Le nto yokuba "mhlophe" ibalulekile kubo. Bangabohlanga olumhlophe okanye uhlanga lwabamhlophe okanye iqela labantu abamhlophe. Abayenzi—okanye ubuncinci abanye babo abayicingi le nto njengento ekhohlakeleyo. Babona amanye amaqela amaninzi abantu awayebandakanyeke koko kwiminyaka engama-40 eyadlulayo kwakuchazwa ngabom ngabo babenenxaxheba ngokuthi “ziipolitiki zokuzazisa.” Babona iNyanga yeMbali yabaMnyama kwaye bayazibuza ukuba kutheni bengenako ukuba neNyanga yeMbali yabaMhlophe. Babona isenzo esiqinisekisiweyo. Bafunda ngeminxeba yokufuna imbuyekezo. Bakholelwa ukuba, ukuba amanye amaqela aza kuzazisa ngeempawu ezicacileyo, afanele avunyelwe ukuba enjenjalo.
Kwinyanga ephelileyo uJason Kessler, iblogger efuna ukususa ibhunga lesiXeko u-Wes Bellamy e-ofisini, uchaze umfanekiso oqingqiweyo kaRobert E. Lee ngokuthi “ubalulekile ngokobuhlanga kwabamhlophe basemazantsi.” Ngokungathandabuzekiyo, ucinga, kwaye ngokungathandabuzekiyo unyanisile, ukuba kukho umfanekiso oqingqiweyo eCharlottesville womntu ongeyena mhlophe okanye ilungu leqela elincinci elicinezelweyo ngokwembali, isiphakamiso sokuyisusa siya kuhlangabezana nokukhala komsindo ngokuphulwa kwento yexabiso kwiqela elithile - nayiphi na iqela ngaphandle “kwabamhlophe.”
Omnye unokubuza uMnumzana Kessler ukuba aqwalasele ukubaluleka kwento yokuba ngokwenene akukho mifanekiso eqingqiweyo yabantu abangengabo abamhlophe eCharlottesville, ngaphandle kokuba ubala iSacagawea iguqa njengenja ecaleni kukaLewis noClark. Okanye unokubuza ukuba ukugweba kwakhe ukuchaneka kwezopolitiko kuhambelana njani nokugxeka kwakhe u-Wes Bellamy ngamagqabaza amadala anentiyo ngakumafanasini kunye nabasetyhini. Kodwa into endikucelayo ukuba uyibuze, endaweni yoko, kukuba uyaziva na ukuba uKessler okanye abantu abafunda ibhlog yakhe banokuvela phi.
Bayayigxeka “imilinganiselo emibini” abayibonayo macala onke. Nokuba ucinga ukuba loo migangatho ayikho, okanye ucinga ukuba iyathetheleleka, kucacile ukuba abantu abaninzi bacinga ukuba ikhona kwaye baqinisekile ukuba ayithetheleleki.
Omnye woonjingalwazi bam xa ndandikwi-UVA kwiminyaka emininzi eyadlulayo wabhala ezinye iingcamango ezazicatshulwe ngokubanzi kwiinyanga ezithile ezidlulileyo njengengqikelelo kaDonald Trump. Lo njingalwazi, uRichard Rorty, wabuza isizathu sokuba abantu abamhlophe abatsala nzima babonakale ngathi lelona qela labafundi bemfundo ephakamileyo abangalihoyanga. Kutheni lingekho isebe lezifundo zetrailer park, wabuza. Wonke umntu wayecinga ukuba loo nto yayihlekisa, ngoko kwaye ngoku. Kodwa nantoni na eyenye isebe lezifundo-naluphi na uhlanga, ubuzwe, okanye esinye isazisi, ngaphandle komhlophe-libi kakhulu kwaye lindilisekile. Ngokuqinisekileyo ukuphelisa ucalucalulo lwazo zonke iintlobo yinto elungileyo, wabonakala esitsho, kodwa okwangoku imbinana yeebhiliyoni iqokelela uninzi lobutyebi beli lizwe kunye nehlabathi, ngelixa uninzi lwabantu bonke betsala nzima, kwaye ngandlela thile kwamkelekile ukwenza intlekisa. of accents or teeth as long ingabantu abamhlophe uyaphoxisa. Logama nje i-liberals igxile kwipolitiki yesazisi ngaphandle kwemigaqo-nkqubo enceda wonke umntu, umnyango uya kuvulelwa umntu onamandla omhlophe onika izisombululo, ezithembekileyo okanye ngenye indlela. Watsho njalo uRorty kwakudala.
UKessler unokubona okungekho sikweni ngakumbi kunokuba kukho ngokwenene. Ucinga ukuba ama-Islamic radical, amagqala ase-US aphazamiseke ngokwasengqondweni akahoywa de abandakanyeke ekudubuleni ngenxa yokoyika ukuchaneka kwezopolitiko. Ndiyathandabuza kakhulu. Andizange ndive ngamagqala amaninzi aphazamisekile engqondweni awayengahoywanga. Ipesenti encinci inomdla kwi-radical Islam, kwaye kuphela abo, babonakala bephelela kwiblogi kaKessler. Kodwa eyona nto ayithethayo kukuba kukho abantu abangengabo abelungu abenza izinto ezimanyumnyezi, kwaye kunyanzeleke ukuba kuthethwe amazwi akhohlakeleyo ngabo - ngendlela engasoloko ijongwa xa kusenziwa intetho ekhohlakeleyo ngabantu abamhlophe.
Ungakhomba kwi-counter-trends. Izifundo ezininzi ezibonisa kuphela kwimithombo yeendaba zentlalo yabantu abafunde ezinye izifundo ezifanayo baye bafumanisa ukuba imithombo yeendaba yase-US ithanda kakhulu ukugubungela ukubulawa kwamaSilamsi abamhlophe kunokubulawa kwamaSilamsi ngabamhlophe, kwaye igama elithi "umnqolobi" phantse igcinelwe amaSilamsi kuphela. Kodwa ezo ayizondlela abanye abantu abanikela ingqalelo kuzo. Endaweni yoko baqaphela ukuba izigxeko zocalucalulo zivumelekile ukuba zenze intetho ngokubanzi malunga nabantu abamhlophe, ukuba abahlekisi abamileyo bavumelekile ukuba benze iziqhulo ngabantu abamhlophe, kwaye ukuchonga njengomntu omhlophe kunokukufaka kwibali lembali njengenxalenye yembali. isizwe esidale, kungekuphela nje ukonwabisa kunye nobuchwephesha obuluncedo, kodwa kunye nokutshabalalisa kwendalo kunye nomkhosi kunye nengcinezelo kwinqanaba elitsha kraca.
Nje ukuba ujonge umhlaba ngale ndlela, kunye nemithombo yeendaba zakho, kwaye nabahlobo bakho nabo, unokuva ngezinto ezibonakala kwiblogi kaKessler ekungekho namnye kubantu endibaziyo owakha weva ngazo, ezinje ngo. Uluvo lokuba iikholeji zase-US zifundisa kwaye zikhuthaza into ebizwa ngokuba "yimbubhiso yabamhlophe." Amakholwa embubhiso yabamhlophe afumene unjingalwazi omnye owathi uyayixhasa waze wathi uyadlala. Andibangi ukuba ndiyabazi ubunyani baloo mbandela kwaye andiwuthathi njengowamkelekileyo njengentlekisa okanye ngenye indlela. Kodwa lo mfo kwakunganyanzelekanga ukuba athi uyaqhula ukuba oko kwamkelekile kuqheliselo oluqhelekileyo. Nangona kunjalo, ukuba ubukholelwa ukuba ubuni bakho bubotshelelwe kunye nohlanga olumhlophe, kwaye ukholelwa ukuba abantu bazama ukuyitshabalalisa, unokuba nempendulo engalunganga ekunikezeni uRobert E. Lee i-boot, ndicinga ukuba, nokuba ngaba ucinga ngabantu abamnyama okanye akunjalo. ubukhoboka obuphantsi okanye obuthandwayo okanye iimfazwe zokucinga zazithetheleleka okanye nantoni na elolo hlobo.
Nantsi indlela uKessler acinga ukuba abantu abamhlophe baphathwa ngayo, ngamazwi akhe:
“Ii-SJWs [ekubonakala ukuba oku kumela “amagorha obulungisa bentlalo-ntle”] zisoloko zisithi bonke abantu abamhlophe ‘banenyhweba’, into yomlingo nengabonakaliyo ejongela phantsi ubunzima bethu ize izigatye zonke izinto esizifezileyo. Yonke into esiyifumeneyo iboniswa njengemveliso yombala wethu wolusu. Nangona kunjalo, ngandlela thile ngalo lonke eli 'lungelo' yiMelika emhlophe ebandezeleka kakhulu amanqanaba obhubhane wokudakumba, ukusetyenziswa kakubi kweziyobisi, ukusetyenziswa kakubi kweheroin kwaye Ukuzibulala. Ngabamhlophe baseMelika aba amazinga okuzala aye ehla ngokukhawuleza ngelixa abantu be-Hispanic benyuka ngenxa yokufudukela kwelinye ilizwe ngokungekho mthethweni. Ngokuthelekisa abantsundu bane a izinga eliphezulu lolonwabo. Bafundiswa ukuzithemba. Zonke iincwadi zesikolo, ulonwabo kunye nembali yohlaziyo zibabonisa njengabangaphantsi kwe-plucky abafumana yonke into phezu kwemiqobo emikhulu. Abamhlophe ngabo kuphela abangendawo ngokwemvelo kunye nobuhlanga. Uluntu lwethu olukhulu, izinto eziqanjiweyo kunye nezinto esizizuzileyo emkhosini ziboniswa njengezingafunyanwanga ngokungafanelekanga kwaye ziphumelele ngokungafanelekanga kumqolo wabanye. Ngobuxoki obungaka obujija iingqondo zabo akumangalisi ukuba abantu abamhlophe benobuntu obuncinci kangaka, ukuzithiya okungaka kwaye bazimisele ukulala phantsi kwaye bathathele ingqalelo xa abaxhaphazi abanxamnye nabamhlophe abanjengoAl Sharpton okanye uWes Bellamy befuna ukubagungqisa. ”
Ke, xa abantu base-Emancipation Park bendixelela ukuba umfanekiso oqingqiweyo wejoni elisehasheni esilwa imfazwe kwicala lobukhoboka waze wabekwa phaya ngeminyaka yoo-1920 kwipaki yabamhlophe kuphela ayingobuhlanga kwaye ayiyonxalenye yemfazwe, yintoni abayiyo. esithi, Ndicinga ukuba, kukuba bona ngokwabo abacalucalulo okanye abapro-war, ukuba ezo ayizizo iinjongo zabo, ukuba banenye into engqondweni, njengokubambelela kuhlanga olumhlophe oluphathwa kakubi. Into abayithethayo ngokuthi "ukukhusela imbali" ayithethi kakhulu "ukungahoyi iinyani zemfazwe" okanye "ukulibala ukuba iMfazwe yamakhaya yaqala ntoni" kodwa "kukhusele olu phawu lwabantu abamhlophe kuba singabantu, nathi sibala, sifanele sihlonitshwe maxa wambi njengaBantu Bebala namanye amaqela azukisiweyo afumana uzuko ngobomi obuqhelekileyo ngokungathi ngamagorha.”
Konke kulungile. Leyo yinzame zam ezilinganiselweyo zokuqalisa ukuqonda abaxhasi bomfanekiso oqingqiweyo ka-Lee, okanye inkalo enye yenkxaso yabo. Abanye baye babhengeza ukuba ukuthotywa kwawo nawuphi na umfanekiso oqingqiweyo wemfazwe kuthuka onke amagqala. Abanye enyanisweni banocalucalulo ngokuphandle. Abanye babona umfanekiso womfana obandakanyeka ekulweni ne-United States njengento engcwele yokuthanda izwe laseMelika. Zininzi indibaniselwano yeentshukumisa njengoko kukho abantu abaxhasa umfanekiso oqingqiweyo. Inqaku lam ekujongeni kancinci kwenye yeenkuthazo zabo kukuba iyaqondakala. Akukho mntu uthanda intswela-bulungisa. Akukho mntu uthanda imigangatho ephindwe kabini. Akukho mntu uthanda ukungahloneli. Mhlawumbi abezobupolitika bavakalelwa ngolo hlobo nabo, okanye mhlawumbi baxhaphaza abanye abakwenzayo oko, okanye mhlawumbi okuncinane kuzo zombini. Kodwa kufuneka siqhubeke sizama ukuqonda ukuba yintoni na abantu esingavumelaniyo nenkathalo ngayo, kwaye sibazise ukuba siyayiqonda, okanye sizama ukuyenza.
Emva koko, kuphela emva koko, sinokucela ukuba bazame ukusiqonda. Kungoko kuphela apho sinokuthi sizichaze ngokufanelekileyo, ngokubamba ukuba ngubani ngoku abacinga ukuba singoobani. Andiyiqondi ngokupheleleyo le nto, ndiyavuma. Andiyena uMarxist kwaye andiqinisekanga ukuba kutheni uKessler ehlala ebhekisa kubachasi bomfanekiso njengoMarxists. Ngokuqinisekileyo uMarx wayelilungu leManyano, kodwa akukho mntu ucela umfanekiso oqingqiweyo weSibonelelo Jikelele, kungekhona ukuba ndivile. Kum kubonakala ngathi uninzi lwento ethethwa nguKessler ngokuthi “uMarxist” “akangowaseMelika,” ngokuchasene ngokukrakra noMgaqo-siseko wase-US, uThomas Jefferson, noGeorge Washington nayo yonke into engcwele.
Kodwa ngawaphi amalungu? Ukuba ndiyaluqhwabela izandla ulwahlulo lwecawe kunye norhulumente, isigqeba esilinganiselweyo, amandla okubekwa ityala, ivoti edumileyo, kunye namandla odibano alinganiselweyo, kodwa andingomlandeli weNkundla ePhakamileyo, iSenethi, ubukhoboka, ulonyulo oluphumeleleyo Ukhetho olukhethiweyo lokuvota, okanye ukungabikho kokhuseleko lwendalo, ingaba ndinguMarxist okanye akunjalo? Ndiyarhana ukuba yehlela koku: ngaba ndibhala abaSeki njengabangendawo ngokusisiseko okanye balungile? Enyanisweni andenzi nanye kwezo zinto, yaye andenzi nanye kuzo ngenxa yohlanga lwabamhlophe nokuba. Ndingazama ukucacisa.
Xa ndathelela kwingoma ethi “Ukongama kwabaMhlophe kumele kuhambe” kutshanje e-Emancipation Park, umlungu wandibuza: “Kaloku, uyintoni?” Kuye bendibonakala ndimhlophe. Kodwa ndizichaza njengomntu. Loo nto ayithethi ukuba ndizenza ngathi ndiphila kwihlabathi elisemva kobuhlanga apho ndingenako ukuswela inyathelo lokuqinisekisa okanye ndixhamle kumalungelo okwenene okujonga “umhlophe” nokuba ndibe nabazali kunye nootatomkhulu noomakhulu abaxhamle kwinkxaso-mali yekholeji kunye nebhanki. iimali-mboleko kunye nazo zonke iintlobo zeenkqubo zikarhulumente ezazinqatshelwe kwabangengabo abelungu. Kunoko, kuthetha ukuba ndizigqala njengelungu leqela elibizwa ngokuba ngabantu. Lelo qela endilisusayo. Lelo qela endithemba ukuba liya kusinda ekwandeni kwezixhobo zenyukliya kunye nokufudumala kwemozulu. Lelo qela endifuna ukulibona loyisa indlala nezifo nazo zonke iintlobo zokubandezeleka kunye nokungonwabi. Kwaye ibandakanya wonke umntu ozibiza ngokuba mhlophe kwaye wonke umntu ongenguye.
Ke, andiliva ityala elimhlophe uKessler acinga ukuba abantu bazama ukulibeka kuye. Andiyiva kuba andifani noGeorge Washington ngaphezu kokuba ndichonga amadoda nabafazi awabakhonzayo okanye amajoni awabethayo okanye abaphangi awababulalayo okanye abantu bomthonyama awababulalayo. Andifani naye nakancinci kunabanye abantu. Andikuphiki konke ukufaneleka kwakhe ngenxa yazo zonke iimpazamo zakhe, nokuba.
Kwelinye icala, andifumani kuzingca ezimhlophe. Ndiziva ndinetyala lomntu kunye nekratshi njengomntu, kwaye oko kubandakanya okuninzi. “Ndimkhulu,” wabhala uWalt Whitman, njengomhlali waseCharlottesville kunye nempembelelo njengoRobert E. Lee. "Ndiqulathe inkitha."
Ukuba kukho umntu obeka ilitye lesikhumbuzo eCharlottesville elifunyenwe ngabantu abamhlophe, ndingasichasa ngamandla eso sikhumbuzo, kuba abantu abamhlophe ngabantu, njengabanye abantu. Bendiya kufuna ukuba elo litye lesikhumbuzo lihliswe.
Endaweni yoko, kwenzeka ukuba sibe nelitye lesikhumbuzo uninzi lwethu thina bantu, kunye nabantu abazibiza ngokuba zezinye izazisi, kubandakanywa no-Afrika waseMelika, bakhubekisayo. Ngoko ke, ndilichasa ngamandla eli litye lesikhumbuzo. Asifanele sibandakanyeke kwinto abaninzi abayigqala njengentetho eyenzakalisayo yentiyo kuba abanye beyigqala “njengebalulekile ngokobuhlanga.” Intlungu yodlula uxabiso oluphakathi, kungekhona ngenxa yokuba ngubani ovakalelwa kukuba, kodwa ngenxa yokuba inamandla ngakumbi.
Ukuba umntu ebenokwenza isikhumbuzo se-tweet endala enentiyo evela ku-Wes Bellamy - kwaye ukuqonda kwam kukuba uya kuba ngowokugqibela ukucebisa into enjalo-ayinamsebenzi ukuba bangaphi abantu abacinga ukuba ilungile. Inokuba bangaphi abantu ababecinga ukuba yinkohlakalo ebuhlungu.
Umfanekiso oqingqiweyo ofuzisela ubuhlanga kunye nemfazwe kwabaninzi bethu unexabiso elibi kakhulu. Ukuphendula ukuba "kunokubaluleka kobuhlanga kwabamhlophe basezantsi" njengokungathi iresiphi yesobho yendabuko iphosa inqaku.
I-United States inembali eyahlulayo kakhulu, iqala mhlawumbi ukusuka kwinkqubo yamaqela amabini kaMnu. Ngelixa uKessler ebanga ukuba abantu base-Afrika baseMelika bonwabile, kwaye iLatinos ayonwabanga ngakumbi kodwa ngandlela thile iphumelele ngokufudukela kwelinye ilizwe, akukho maqela ase-US abhala amanqanaba olonwabo afumaneka eScandinavia, apho, iMarxistly okanye ngenye indlela, akukho nyathelo lokuqinisekisa, akukho mbuyekezo, akukho nzuzo ekujoliswe kuyo. , kwaye akukho mibutho yabasebenzi ejonge iimfuno zamalungu ayo kuphela, kodwa kunoko iinkqubo zoluntu ezinceda wonke umntu ngokulinganayo zize ngaloo ndlela zifumane inkxaso ngokubanzi. Xa ikholeji kunye nokhathalelo lwempilo kunye nomhlalaphantsi simahla kuye wonke umntu, bambalwa ababacaphukelayo okanye iirhafu ezihlawulweyo ukuze bazifumane.

Ukuba uMarx wakhe wayiqonda loo nto, andiyazi.
Ndikulungele ukuvuma ukuba abaxhasi bomfanekiso oqingqiweyo asingabo bonke abatyhala ubuhlanga okanye imfazwe. Kodwa ngaba bazimisele ukuzama ukuqonda imbono yabo abazali babo bakhumbula ukuba bagcinwe ngaphandle kwe-Lee Park ngenxa yokuba babengengabo abamhlophe, okanye baqwalasele imbono yabo baqondayo ukuba imfazwe ilwelwe ukwandiswa kobukhoboka, okanye sithathele ingqalelo into uninzi lwethu oluziva luyimifanekiso eqingqiweyo yemfazwe yobugorha ukukhuthaza ezinye iimfazwe?
Ukuba ubona abantu abantsundu banconywa kwimuvi efana Amanani afihliweyo kunzima kumntu ochonga njengomhlophe, yintoni ukukhutshwa epakini ngenxa yokuba mnyama uzive njani?

Umbuzo wokuba i-Washington Redskins kufuneka iqanjwe kwakhona ayingombuzo wokuba i-quarterback i-jerk okanye iqela linomlando ozukileyo, kodwa ingaba igama likhubekisa izigidi zethu, njengoko lenza. Umbuzo wokuba athumele uGeneral Lee kwihashe angazange akhwele kulo ayingombuzo malunga nabantu abangaphazamisi kakhulu umfanekiso oqingqiweyo, kodwa ngathi sonke esiphazamisa kakhulu.
Njengomntu ochasayo kakhulu kwimfazwe yomfanekiso kumbuzo wogqatso, kwaye ngubani ochasa ukulawulwa kwezikhumbuzo zemfazwe, ukukhutshwa ngokubonakalayo kwayo nayiphi na enye into, kumhlaba weCharlottesville, ndicinga ukuba sonke kufuneka sizame khawube nomfanekiso-ngqondweni wembono yabanye abantu. Amashumi alithoba anesithandathu ekhulwini abantu bahlala ngaphandle kwe-United States. Ngaba siye sabuza iiDolophu zaseCharlottesville ukuba zicinga ntoni ngemifanekiso eqingqiweyo yemfazwe yaseCharlottesville?
IUnited States ilawula ishishini lemfazwe, ukuthengiswa kwezixhobo kwezinye izizwe, ukuthengiswa kwezixhobo kumazwe ahlwempuzekileyo, ukuthengiswa kwezixhobo kuMbindi Mpuma, ukuthunyelwa kwemikhosi phesheya, ukuchitha imali kumkhosi wayo, kunye nenani leemfazwe. Ukuzibandakanya. Akuyomfihlo kuninzi lwehlabathi ukuba iUnited States (njengoko uMartin Luther King Jr. eyibeka) ngoyena mntu uphambili ekuhlaseleni ubundlobongela emhlabeni. I-United States inobona bukho basebukhosini buxhaphake kakhulu, iye yaba ngoyena rhulumente ubalaseleyo, kwaye ukusukela ngo-1945 ukuya ku-2017 ibe ngumbulali wabantu abaninzi ngemfazwe.
