Kusukela Izimangaliso Ezivamile
Mhlawumbe CHOP kaSeattle (ICapitol Hill Umsebenzi Wokuphikisana) ngeke ihlale, kepha kukhona okuguqukayo. Iqembu lethu likazwelonke, njengoba ligcinwe ngokuqiniseka okunjalo okuqinile kule nkulungwane edlule yezombusazwe zangososayensi kanye nemithombo yezindaba esezingeni eliphezulu, kubukeka sengathi liyakhuba phambi kwamehlo ethu.
Futhi njengoba i-groupthink ithoboza, kuvuleka ukuqonda okukhulu. Ukucabanga okuqhubekayo kuthatha indlela ebuyela engxoxweni ehlanganayo, kuvumela izwe ukuthi liqale ukudlula esimweni esijwayelekile - uyazi, ukuba ngamaphoyisa amasosha asigcina siphephile, ukucwasana ngokwebala yinto yasendulo, njll, njll. - nokuvula ithuba lokuthi siqala ukwakha ikusasa elinobubele.
Lesi siqalo esincanyana siqhamuke ekubulaweni kwamaphoyisa kukaGeorge Floyd kanye nokuvukelwa phansi komhlaba okwalandela. Abezindaba kanye nabaholi abaningi bezepolitiki nabezinhlangano, esikhundleni sokuthi bahlanganyele ukubabhikisha phansi ababhikishi, njengoba bebelokhu benza phambilini (ngosizo lwamaphoyisa, kunjalo), bahleli lapho besesimweni sokuqina: Yebo, kukhona okuthile akulungile. Kufanele senze izinguquko.
Ngikholwe, angisho ukuthi isimo sezepolitiki senziwa iguqulwe nganoma iyiphi indlela, noma ukuthi izinguquko ezidingekayo zilula futhi zisobala - lutho kodwa! Noma kunjalo. . .
Ake sibheke "ukuthathwa" kwakamuva kwendawo enamabhlokhi ayisithupha edolobha laseSeattle elaziwa ngeCapitol Hill. Umakhelwane ubuyindawo obekugxilwe kuyo kakhulu emibhikishweni yedolobha futhi ngasikhathi sinye ekuqaleni kukaJuni, phakathi kwezingxabano phakathi kwamaphoyisa nababhikishi, amaphoyisa ashiye isimilo sendawo. Ababhikishi babe sebethi indawo encane engaxhunyiwe ngentambo ayinamaphoyisa. Kuqala yaziwa ngokuthi yi-CHAZ - iCapitol Hill Autonomous Zone - yagcina iba yi-CHOP, yeCapitol Hill Occupied Protest. Futhi le ndawo igcine ukuzimela okuhleliwe - okuphelele nokuhamba ngepherishi nabezimo eziphuthumayo, kanye nababambiqhaza abaningi abanama-ajenda ajabulisayo - amasonto ambalwa.
Kwakuyisimo sabaningana kudutshulwa, esinye sazo, ngokwesabeka, sabangela ukubulawa kwensizwa eneminyaka engu-19 ubudala, uHorace Lorenzo Anderson. Akekho umsolwa otholakele.
Ngabe ukubulawa kwabantu bekungumphumela wokuthi iCHOP yayingenamaphoyisa? Cha, akunjalo. Ama-Homicides kwenzeka lapho futhi avela kuphi, njalo, ngaphandle kwalesi sibonelo, ezindaweni ezihanjiswa ngamaphoyisa. Futhi kwesinye isikhathi, iqiniso, udlame lubangelwa ngamaphoyisa uqobo. Abavikeli bamaphoyisa kanye nokubona lokho ilungelo lezepolitiki, vele, bakhala ngokuthi "utshelwe kanjalo!" ngemuva kwalokhu kubulala, ethi i-CHOP isiphendukele ezinxushunxushwini nasekubuseni izixuku, akekho osaphephile.
Into emangazayo ukuthi ilungelo likaTrump selishiywe kulo isitshulu sisodwa. Umongameli angase abhale kuTouch "amaphekula asekhaya athathe izintambo kuSeattle" futhi asabise ngokuthumela ezempi. Kepha iMeya kaSeattle, uJenny Durkan, uyabuya: “Senze sonke siphephe. Buyela endlini yakho engaphansi. ”
Futhi abezindaba bebengakaze basebenzise i-CHOP ngokuxoshwa okufanayo, ukucabanga kweqembu okubonakele ukuthi likhona. . . oh gosh. . . izimpi zethu zangekhulu lama-21, izabelomali zamasosha ezinamahloni ngobuhlakani, ububi obungenakubalwa bomphakathi. Kukhona okuhlukile manje. Kungenzeka yini lokho? Kungenzeka yini kube nokuqwashisa - ngempela, ubuhlakani obuyinkimbinkimbi - obukhona kulokhu kufakwa okukhombisa ushintsho oluguqukayo?
Mhlawumbe ngenza okuningi kwalokhu. Kepha, cabanga ngalokhu Washington PosIndaba, yintatheli ephenyayo uMeryl Kornfield, ngemuva kokudutshulwa kweCHOP. Kwakungenangqondo yokuthi bekukhona umbhikisho ofanele oqonde ukuthi ababhikishi banephutha futhi bebelokhu beveza ukuthula kwabo okuyisisekelo, bephawula ukuthi, izisulu zokudutshulwa ziphuthunyiswe esibhedlela ngokushesha ngabezimo eziphuthumayo zomphakathi. Lokhu bekungaziphithiphithi zezixuku, kumane nje kuwuhlobo oluhlukile lokuhleleka komphakathi.
UKornfield uxoxisane nomuntu owayehlala ematendeni e-CHOP, wathi: “Imvamisa uma kwenzeka kuba khona abacibishelayo lapho amaphoyisa ebandakanyeka, bayamyeka lowo odubulayo abaleke ngezinhlamvu bese engena lapho. Lokho akwenzekanga lapha. Ngokushesha nje lapho kudutshulwa, abantu bahileleka ngentshiseko, futhi kwaba neqembu lezokwelapha esizeni ngokushesha. Besingadingi zinsimbi nezibhamu eziningi ukwenza umsebenzi wenziwe. ”
Ngisho nezinkinga zangempela ze-CHOP kwaxoxwa ngazo ngokukhululekile. Isibonelo, umhlali wathi kuye: “Ngihlangane nengane encane eyayinesibhamu futhi ngifuna ukuyiyeka umngane wayo njengomkhosi. Bengimtshela ukuthi lolu hlobo angeke lube lolo hlobo lwemvelo; sizama ukubhikisha. Ukusebenziseka ngokugcwele ngezibhamu nganoma yiluphi uhlobo noma imfashini kuzoletha izifiso nezifiso ukuthi amaphoyisa abuyele. ”
Bese kuba nendaba ku Times Seattle, echaza isici esisodwa sokuhluka kwe-CHOP. Umqeqeshi we-basketball yentsha ogama lakhe nguDari Arrington, odinga ukuphuma kwakhe ngenxa yentukuthelo kanye nokuphelelwa yithemba ngokufa kukaGeorge Floyd (futhi aphume emsebenzini ngesikhathi sodlame), wenza iphrojekthi ebizwa nge-Shoot 4 Change, “lapho ecela khona abantu ukuthi bafune ukudala inguquko ephepheni, ulibhincize bese udubula ebhakedeni lepulasitiki, ”kubhala intatheli uJayda Evans.
U-Arrington utshela abahlanganyeli: "Uma usubhala lokho owubhalile, lokho kusho inhliziyo yakho. Futhi izinhliziyo zabo bonke abanye abachithiwe emhlabeni ngoba izinxushunxushu eziningi kangaka ziyaqhubeka. Sonke sinazo izinhliziyo ezichotshoziwe. Kepha okungaphakathi kwezinhliziyo zethu kungumyalezo omuhle. Iphupho elihle. Isifiso esihle noma yini. Futhi ngifuna abantu bahlangane ngobunye ukulwela ushintsho. ”
U-Arrington utshele u-Evans: "I-vibe eku-CHOP inokuthula futhi inamandla. Abantu bakhuluma ngempela mayelana nomnyakazo weBlack Lives Matter futhi kungenza ngizizwe ngathi ngisebhamuleni lokudala lapho abantu bebheke ukusebenzisa izwi labo ekukhanyiseni okuhle ukusabalalisa umyalezo onamandla kakhulu. Azimisele ukudela nhlobo. Sizoqhubeka ukukwenza kuze kufike ushintsho empeleni. ”
Akulula ukumboza i-bubble yokudala. Noma yini, enhle noma embi, ingenzeka lapha. Kepha kulapho izingcezwana zesikhathi esizayo zihamba khona. I-CHOP, ngokusobala, manje ingenziwe. Kwakuyilokho ngenkathi kuqhubeka, i-cauldron kungenzeka, okuyinto eningi yabezindaba, ngenhlanhla, yakhetha ukubhala ngayo kunokuba ichithe.
Ithuba lisaphila.
