Eqongeni kwinkomfa yeNetroots Nation eqhubela phambili kule nyanga, owayesakuba ngumphathi waseMaryland uMartin O'Malley wayexinekile ngabaqhankqalazi bemcela ukuba abambelele kwisikhalo sabo sokuhlangana-ukuba, njengoko i-hashtag isitsho, #blacklivesmatter.
Umnumzana u-O'Malley uvumile: Ubomi obuMnyama bubalulekile, watsho. Kodwa emva koko wathetha enye into: Ubomi obuMhlophe bubalulekile. Yonke into ibalulekile.
Ukuphendula kwakukhawuleza. Abaqhankqalazi-nabo abangazange baphendule kakuhle xa uSenen Bernie Sanders efuna ukutshintshela incoko ngokungalingani kwezoqoqosho-baxhalabisa. UMnu O'Malley waxolisa emva kwenkomfa.
Bendingathethi ukuba ndingakhathali nangayiphi na indlela okanye ndinxibelelane nabantu ukuba andiyiqondi inkanuko enkulu, ukuzibophelela kunye nemvakalelo kunye nobunzulu beemvakalelo zokuba sonke kufuneka sinamathele kulo mbandela, utshilo kumboniso wewebhu obiziweyo Kule Veki eMnyama .
Kodwa kwiintsuku nje ezimbalwa phambi kwezimvo zika Mnumzana u-O'Malley kwinkomfa eyayise-Phoenix, omnye umntu ozibiza ngenkqubela-phambili wenza intetho ezifanayo ezazibonakala ngathi aziyi kuqatshelwa: USodolophu uBill de Blasio. Kwaye kwakhe zange eze kwinkomfa kwakuthetha ukuthetha ngemiba eyahlukeneyo okanye kubaphulaphuli ababanzi-kwafika kwisikhumbuzo somntu omnyama, u-Eric Garner. Umntu omnyama ubulewe lipolisa elimhlophe.
Ndifuna ukusebenzisa ibinzana esingalivanga kangako kuyo yonke intetho, kodwa kufuneka siyitsho ngoba kuyacaca ngokuhlwanje - yonke into ibalulekile, uMnu de Blasio waqala. Kwaye ngenxa yokuba sijijisana nomceli mngeni wexesha elidlulileyo, kubalulekile ukuba siphinde sitsho ibinzana ekufuneka lizibonakalisile, elingafuneki ukuba lithethwe. Kodwa kude kube senza inkqubela phambili, siyakuphinda siyitsho-ubomi babantsundu babalulekile.
Waqhubeka wanikela elinye ibinzana-elinye lamatshantliziyo e-Black Lives Matter movement ayakhathaza nangakumbi: Saphulukana nabafana abalungileyo abanxibe iyunifomu ukusikhusela. Kananjalo kufuneka sitsho-ubomi obuhlaza okwesibhakabhaka bubalulekile.
Kwabaphembeleli bentshukumo ye-Black Lives Matter, uluvo olufakwe ngala mabinzana lucacile: akukho mathandabuzo ukuba eMelika obo bomi bubalulekile. Inqaku le #blacklivesmatter hashtag eliqale ukusasazeka kweli binzana kukuba bekubonakala ngathi ubomi babantu abamnyama-uTrayvon Martin, uGarner, uMichael Brown-bebengabalulekanga, okanye bengenamsebenzi, ebusweni bento abachasayo abayichazayo ngamanye amaxesha Inkqubo yobundlobongela.

UJohn McWhorter, unjingalwazi weYunivesithi yaseColumbia obhala ngolwimi nangobuhlanga kwaye uthi uhamba embindini kwezopolitiko, uthe impendulo kaMnu O'Malley ibingumbandela wokuba ngumpolitiki.
Abantu abayicingi into yokuba ubomi babantsundu bubaluleke kakhulu njengabanye abantu-yiloo nto ingongoma yesilogeni ekumele ukuba ibe yiyo, utshilo uMnu. McWhorter. Nanku ke esiza nomzuzu wakhe wokubamba.
Ngokungafaniyo nezimvo zika Mnu O'Malley, bekungekho mpendulo incinci kwangoko ekusebenziseni kuka Mnu de Blasio kweli binzana. Inxalenye yelo qonga: ngelixa isikhumbuzo sokusweleka kukaGarner yayiyindaba egutyungelwe kakuhle, umsitho wawungelilo inqanaba elilinganayo neholo lomongameli wedolophu, nokuba uMnu O'Malley akanguye umgijimi ophambili. Kwaye uMnu. O'Malley wayengaziwa ngokuphucula ubudlelwane phakathi kwamapolisa noluntu xa wayengusodolophu waseBaltimore, isixeko apho ubudlelwane bobuhlanga buxinene ngakumbi kunaseNew York, ekusenokwenzeka ukuba badlale ngomsindo.
Umnumzana de Blasio usebenze e-ofisini ngesiseko esikhulu senkxaso yabantu abamnyama kwaye uthembise ubudlelwane obungcono namapolisa. Kodwa kule veki, uBertha Lewis, itshantliziyo elinenkululeko, umlawuli weZiko eliMnyama kunye no-ally de Blasio ally, uxelele uMbonisi ukuba usodolophu akalunganga ukusebenzisa amagama awenzileyo kwisikhumbuzo.
Ukwisikhumbuzo somntu kuba uswelekile kuba umnyama. Kutheni le nto kufuneka sihlale sixutywe? Ubuzile. Luhlaza, mhlophe, konke, yiza. Jongana nje nobomnyama. Jongana naloo nto, ngqo phezulu. Kwaye kuyandicaphukisa ukuba bonke aba bapolitiki abamhlophe bayathetha ngokungakhathali. Ndiyagula yiyo.
Kodwa impendulo kaNks. Lewis yeza kuphela emva kokuba uMqwalaseli embuzile ngezimvo-hayi ngendlela ekhawulezayo yomlilo uMnu. O'Malley wazifumana ekhwazwa.
U-Tia Oso, itshantliziyo elaphazamisa ukubonakala kuka Mnu O'Malley kwi-NetRoots, uthe kwindawo efanayo uyakusabela ngendlela efanayo nakowuphi na umpolitiki othatha indawo yomnyama ngabo bonke. Ngandlela thile, uthe, iyayiphucula inqaku yena nabanye abazama ukuyenza-ukuba kulula kakhulu ukugxotha abantu abamnyama kuloo mzabalazo.
Njengomququzeleli, ndandingoyena mntu wokuqala, ndothuswa yinto yokuba abantu bangacinga ukuba yimpendulo efanelekileyo, ngenxa yomba esiwuzisayo malunga nobundlobongela obenziwa kubantu abamnyama abangaxhobanga, ngakumbi ezandleni Amapolisa, UNks uOso uxelele uMqwalaseli kudliwanondlebe ngomnxeba. Ukuya kuthi emva koko, 'Ewe, eneneni, ubomi obuhlaza okwesibhakabhaka bubalulekile, ngokunjalo, ngokungathi kukho ukulingana-yinto efanayo engeyiyo. Akukho zintambo zabantu ezibaleka ziqhushumbisa amapolisa rhoqo ngeeyure ezingama-28.
UNks Oso uthe ukusebenzisa eli binzana bonke ubomi bomntu kufana nokucinywa kwento eyenzekayo kwiindawo ezimnyama-kwaye malunga nokukholisa abantu abamhlophe, utshilo, abangafuni kuziva kakubi ngezityholo zobuhlanga.
Ngokuthi yonke into ibalulekile, into yokuqala oyithethayo yile, ndithetha into ephosakeleyo, ndiza kuhamba ngokungekho mthethweni, utshilo. Uzama ukulungisa, emva koko ucima eyona nto yenzekayo.
Ewe, uMnu de Blasio ube nonyaka owahluke kakhulu kunaye Mnu O'Malley. NgoJulayi ophelileyo, emva nje kokusweleka kukaGarner, uMnu de Blasio wanikezela ingxelo yakhe ngokulumkisa unyana wakhe ukuba alumke xa esebenzisana namapolisa, nto leyo eyacaphukisa iinkokheli zemanyano yamapolisa kodwa zabaphembelela abaguquleli bamapolisa. Unyaka uye waba sisiphithiphithi ngakumbi njengoko usodolophu ebethwa ngenxa yokuma nabaqhankqalazi abavala izitalato, kodwa uxinzelelo lwaqhuma ngokubulawa ngokumasikizi kwamapolisa amabini ngoDisemba. Amapolisa amfulathela usodolophu, kwaye ukusukela ngoko, bekukho iinzame ezinzulu zokuphilisa umsantsa.
Ebuzwa malunga nokucinga okuye kwangena kumazwi kaMnu de Blasio ngobusuku benkonzo yesikhumbuzo sikaGarner, kunye nesigqibo sokusebenzisa amabinzana agxekwayo, i-ofisi kaMnu de Blasio yaphinda yaphinda yahlasela la manqaku okudibanisa iindawo ezahlukeneyo zokujonga.
Usodolophu uxabise zonke izimvo zokunyaniseka ezivela kwintlungu kunye nokubandezeleka okubangelwe kukusweleka kuka-Eric Garner. Kwakubalulekile ukuba aveze loo nto, unobhala weendaba kasodolophu, uKaren Hinton, uxelele uMqwalaseli. Uyazi ukuba iinkokheli zasekuhlaleni kunye namalungu osapho lakwaGarner baziva ngendlela efanayo-bafuna ubudlelwane obuhle namapolisa.

Umbuzo wokuba yeyiphi into ephilayo ubonakala ngathi ugcwele kumacala omabini ombane. Njengokuba nje bonke ubomi benzekile kugwayimbo lwabaphembeleli abanjengoNks Oso ngendlela engeyiyo, abanye-nditsho nakumhlaba ophakathi-baye bakhathazeka ngenxa yobomi bomntu omnyama, utshilo uMnu McWhorter.
Banomsindo wokuba into 'yobomi bomntu omnyama' ibonakala ngathi ithetha ukuba, 'ubomi babantsundu bubalulekile xa abantu abamhlophe bebasusa,' utshilo, esithi esi siqubulo asisebenzi kwizigameko zomntu omnyama obulala omnye umntu omnyama. . Akunabo kuphela abagcinayo abanomsindo malunga naloo nto. Kungenxa yoko le nto 'ubomi bomntu omnyama bubalulekile' ungahambi kakuhle njengoko ucinga.
Amagqabantshintshi kaMnu de Blasio abonakala ngathi awaphazamisi abo bavela naye kwindibano, kubandakanya uMfu Al Sharpton kunye nosapho lukaGarner. UNks u-Oso, owayengenangxaki yokukhwaza uMnu O'Malley, wakrokrela iimeko ezazingqonge iintetho zika Mnu de Blasio- zokuba baziswa ngexesha lesikhumbuzo, ecaweni- babeyinxalenye yesizathu sokuba angahlangatyezwa umsindo ofanayo kwangoko.
Abantu kusenokwenzeka ukuba baziva ngendlela ethile, kodwa abazukuyibaleka, akukho mntu uza kuyenza loo nto, UNks Oso uthe. Ngokuqinisekileyo awukhwaza uthi, ‘Hayi esihogweni hayi,’ ecaweni.
Kunokubakho ezinye izizathu-kubandakanya ukuthoba ulindelo kwabo bafuna ulungiso olomeleleyo kulwaphulo-mthetho, iqela elalisakuba sisiseko sikaMnu.
UDe Blasio ukwenze kwacaca ukuba uyaphindaphinda kabini ukuzama ukuphumelela i-NYPD, kakhulu kwingozi yesiseko sakhe. Ke ukuba bendingu de Blasio, bendiya kuba nexhala ngakumbi ukuba isiseko sam khange senze kunuka, Uprofesa wesayensi yezopolitiko kwiYunivesithi yaseFordham uChristina Greer uxelele uMqwalaseli. Ukuze abantu bangakuhoyi, ukuya kwinqanaba elithile, oko kuthetha ukuba bangaphezu kwakho .Bangaphezu kwakho, bangaphezu komyalezo wakho. Ndicinga ukuba isahlulo esikhulu sesiseko sika-Blasio siyaqonda ukuba uzimisele nyhani ukuthi 'impilo yobomi obuhlaza okwesibhakabhaka,' nto leyo ephikisana nobomi babantu abamnyama.
UNks Hinton uyikhabile imbono yokuba usodolophu uye wasokola kwisiseko sakhe. Amanani okuvota abonisa ukuba uhlala ithandwa ngabavoti abamnyama-ukulinganiswa kwakhe kokuvunywa kwabaNtsundu kwakuyiipesenti ezingama-68 kwisibhengezo sikaMeyi saseQuinnipiac, esasiphezulu kakhulu, kodwa amanqaku asezantsi asuka kwiipesenti ezingama-78 zokuvunywa kwabamnyama ngoJanuwari
Kukho intelekelelo eninzi kakhulu malunga ne-quote-unquote base support. Akukho mntu uthetha ngoluntu. Abantu ngabanye benza olo luntu. Abanye abantu bazakuba neembono ezahlukeneyo, kwaye banelungelo lokuzicacisa, utshilo uNkskz. Hinton. Usodolophu kufuneka aqwalasele zonke izimvo kwaye ekugqibeleni enze isigqibo esifanelekileyo kubo bonke abantu baseNew York. Yiloo nto eyenziwa ngoosodolophu.
U-Mme Lewis uthe yena nabanye banelisekile ziimpendulo uMnu Mnu de Blasio, Mnu O'Malley, kunye noMnumzana Sanders abanike lo mbandela. Ucacisile ukuba kwixa elizayo usodolophu ebaleka intshukumo, impendulo ayinakoyiswa.
Iinkqubela phambili ezintathu ezingakhange zikwazi ukujongana nayo xa usithi, ‘ungathetha nje ngobumnyama.’ Kwaye uyazi ukuba yayithini impendulo yabo? Hayi. Kufuneka sinyibilikise ubumnyama ngombala omhlophe, ngombala oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ngako konke, utshilo uNksk. Ndiyagula yiyo, sonke sigula yiyo. Uyibonile kwiSizwe seNetroots kwaye uza kuyibona ngakumbi nangakumbi. Kwaye ngalo lonke ixesha omnye wabo esitsho, ukuba abo bakhathaleleyo ngale nto bajikelezile, siza kuvalwa.
