Ubusuku obubi bangomhla ziyisi-7 kuJulayi, 2016 kwaba ukubonakaliswa okubonakalayo kwezimpi zase-US ezifinyelela umhlabathi wethu. Ukucacisa, angikhulumi ngombono ongenangqondo nehlambalazayo wokuthi kunempi phakathi kwe-#BlackLivesMatter Movement namaphoyisa. Lo mbhedo wobuhlakani obucwasa ngokwebala ukhafulwe ngabahlaziyi like URush Limbaugh ubhale ukuthi #BlackLivesMatter iqembu lamaphekula, owayenguRep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) tweeting “Lena manje sekuyimpi. Qaphela u-Obama. Qaphela amapunk abalulekile empilweni yabantu abamnyama. I-Real America iza emva kwakho,” noma esihlokweni seNew York Post esithi “Impi yezikhali”. Lokhu kusabela akukhona nje ukudelela ezwini nasemlayezweni wakho, kodwa kugeja iphuzu.
I-#BlackLivesMatter ikhwelo lezishoshovu ezimnyama zokuqeda udlame, hhayi ukulubhebhethekisa. Inhlangano ihlose ukuthi “ukulwa nokucwasa kwabaNsundu, ukuvusa ingxoxo phakathi kwabantu abaNsundu, kanye nokwenza lula izinhlobo zokuxhumana ezidingekayo ukuze kugqugquzelwe ukusebenza komphakathi kanye nokuzibandakanya.".
I-#BlackLivesMatter iyaqonda ukuthi indlela ephumelela kakhulu yombhikisho womphakathi iwukuba ukungabi nodlame kokudala, empeleni ezimeni ezimbi njengesimo sase-US yiyona ndlela kuphela ebheke empumelelweni. Kuwuhlobo oludingekayo kakhulu lokubamba iqhaza kuntando yeningi ukubekela inselelo isimo esikhona esingalungile, hhayi uhlobo oluthile lwempi emaphoyiseni.
Impi esifike ekhaya ngeyombutho wezempi wase-US ongaphikiswa. Nakuba zibonakala kalula ezimpini zaphesheya, izinhlobo zezempi ezicashile ngezinye izikhathi zazidlala ngezindlela eziyisithupha ezinsukwini zokugcina.
Okokuqala, kunezikhali eziningi kakhulu ezandleni zabantu abaningi kakhulu. Lezi zikhali zabulala uPhilando Castile esitobhini esincane kakhulu (esiphukile umsila, hhayi ngisho nesikhalo mayelana nokushayela kwakhe), zabulala u-Alton Sterling ngokuthengisa ama-CD ngaphandle kwesitolo esithengisa izinto ezilula (akekho kulawa madoda owayenesibhamu ezandleni zakhe) , base bebulala amaphoyisa uBrent Thompson, Patrick Zamarripa, Michael Krol, Michael Smith, kanye noLorne Ahrens ezandleni zomdubuli ohlonzwe ngelikaMicah Johnson. UJohnson wabulawa irobhothi elalihlome ngeziqhumane. I-US yonke “iyizwe elinezibhamu” futhi yonke imizamo yokudala ushintsho olunengqondo ibukelwa phansi yi-NRA kanye nenkulumo-ze yayo emelene namaqiniso kanye nesichibiyelo sesibili esicishe sangcweliswa.
Okwesibili, kunokudunyiswa okuqhubekayo kobudlova. I-Hollywood Blockbusters ikhazimulisa abadubuli, imidlalo yekhompiyutha ephezulu engenisa imali nezinhlelo zokusebenza zamaselula imidlalo yempi, imicimbi yezemidlalo ezweni lonke kanye nezikhangiso ze-TV. ukugqugquzela amasosha, Futhi igatsha le-US Army Marketing and Research Group National Assets Branch igcina uxhaxha lwamaloli angama-semi-trailer imibukiso yawo eyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu, ekhangayo, esebenzisanayo ekhazimulisa impi, eklanyelwe ukunxenxa intsha ethatheka kalula.
Okwesithathu, abezindaba bavamise ukwenza udlame lube sezingeni eliphezulu, bacishe bakhonze amaqhawe, bavame ukuyengwa izinto zokulwa, futhi bashaye indiva abahlaziyi abanikeza izindlela zokuguqula eziholela ekuthuleni.
Okwesine, i Izigidi ezingu-2.7 zamakadebona e-Iraq nase-Afghanistan babe namazinga angakaze abonwe okuphazamiseka ngokomzimba, ngokwengqondo, nokuhlukunyezwa, kanye namazinga aphezulu okuzibulala, ukungabi namakhaya nokuntuleka kwemisebenzi. Izifundo ziningi futhi ziyakhathaza. Omakadebona abatholi ukwesekwa okudingekayo kunoma iyiphi indawo ohlelweni lokunakekelwa komakadebona abangenazo izinsizakusebenza. Umdubuli osolwayo kwakunguMakadebona owayesebenza e-Afghanistan.
Okwesihlanu, kukhona impi enzima yamaphoyisa mayelana nemishini namaqhinga abonakala ezinqoleni ezihlomile, iziqhumane zamabhomu, nezibhamu zokudubuleka ukubala ezimbalwa. Ezigamekweni zokudubula eDallas, amaphoyisa asebenzise irobhothi elihlome ngeziqhumane ukubulala umsolwa ngesikhathi ecashe egaraji lokupaka. Lesi sinyathelo sagxekwa kakhulu ochwepheshe bezomthetho njengesandulela esiyingozi ngendlela engafanele futhi iphikisana nawo wonke umbono wamaphoyisa kanye nokugcinwa komthetho. Ukuthutheleka komakadebona bezempi emphakathini uwonke eminyakeni eyi-15 edlule, kanye nokuqashwa kwamaphoyisa okukhetha omakadebona, kanye Ukusatshalaliswa kwe-DoD kwezikhali zempi emaphoyiseni asekhaya ase-US iqinisekisa ukuqhubeka kwezempi kwamaphoyisa.
Okwesithupha, ukungabi nabulungiswa kwezenhlalo kanye nokungalingani akukwazi ukubhekwana nakho ngokwanele ngenxa yezinsiza ezingekho. Izinkulumo-mpikiswano zomphakathi mayelana namalungelo kanye neholo elincane alinaki indlovu ekamelweni - isabelomali sezempi esikhukhumele lapho cishe ingxenye yemali yabakhokhintela ezintela zikahulumeni ziya kwezempi. I-#BlackLivesMatter ngokuqinisekile igxile ekungabini nabulungisa kubantu abamnyama e-US, kodwa lokho kwenzeka ngaphakathi kokulandisa okubanzi kokungalingani, ukusetshenziswa kwemali "yokuvikela", kanye nokwenza inzuzo ngempi.
Ukuqiniseka, lokhu akukhona ukuhlaziya okuqondile kwalezi zehlakalo ezithile ezinsukwini zokugcina. Kuleli qophelo kuncane okwaziwayo ngezisulu nabenzi bokubi. Kuyacaca nokho ukuthi lezi zehlakalo zenzeke ngaphansi kwezimo ezithile zenhlalo ezazivumela lezo nezinye eziningi ukuthi zenzeke.
Uma siqala ukugxila ekulungiseni izinto ezichazwe lapha, empeleni singase siguqule inkambo yezenzakalo zesikhathi esizayo. Kudingeka silahle izikhali eziningi kakhulu ezandleni eziningi kakhulu. Ukulawula izibhamu, nokulawula izibhamu manje. Yeka ukudumisa ubudlova ku-TV nasemithonjeni yezindaba futhi ukhuthazwe amafilimu afana ne-“Selma,” hhayi “I-American Sniper.” Suka ekuchemameni kwabezindaba okunodlame futhi esikhundleni salokho uye eqinisweni, abantu, nobuntatheli obugxile kwisixazululo. Nikeza omakadebona bethu konke ukwesekwa okudingekayo - ngokufanele uqale ngokungalwi izimpi. Ukugcizelela ukuthi umsebenzi wamaphoyisa uyisidingo emphakathini wethu lapho izakhamuzi zivikelekile futhi namaphoyisa ehlonishwa ngenxa yokunconywa, hhayi ukwesaba. Bona, uhloniphe, futhi usekele i-#BlackLivesMatter ngalokho eyikho - inhlangano ekhuthaza isithunzi, ubulungisa, nenkululeko yabo bonke abantu ngaphansi kwengcindezi ebhekiswe kubantu abamnyama. Singakwenza lokhu.
