Ukuba nengxoxo eqotho ngezinkinga esizibonayo namuhla kudinga ukubhekana namaqiniso alukhuni welungelo nokuthi lisebenza kanjani.

"Manje ukholo luyinto yezinto ezithenjwayo, ubufakazi bezinto ezingabonwayo." AmaHeberu 11: 1 (NKJV)

Leli ngelinye lamavesi engiwathanda kakhulu eBhayibhelini. Njengomzali futhi kuyisifiso sami ngendodana yami eneminyaka emihlanu. Nginokholo lokuthi konke engikufisayo, konke engingakuboni njengamanje kuleli, kuzotholakala kuye. Phezulu ohlwini lwezinto enginethemba lokuthi kuzoba yimpilo ende.

Simnyama, futhi obekusobala emasontweni amabili edlule, ukuthi ubumnyama bethu buyisikweletu. Kuyingozi ezimpilweni zethu, emandleni ethu okudonsa umoya ngokukhululeka, ngaphandle kokubuzwa noma ukubulawa ngenxa yako.

Ngenkathi ngilazi kahle leli qiniso, indodana yami ayilazi, kepha ngolunye usuku kungekudala, kuzodingeka yazi kamuva. Uzodinga ukwazi imithetho yobumbili bakhe - yokwazi kabili iW.E.B. UDuBois uqale waxoxa ngasekupheleni kwekhulu le-19 - kumele aqhubeke nomzamo wokuphila.

Ngakho-ke, ngiba kanjani nengxoxo? Unjani omunye umzali lokhu ingxoxo nengane yabo? Silukhuluma kanjani udaba oluguqukela kukho konke ukufa okusha, kuwo wonke umsebenzi omubi nongenabungozi ongaholela emiphumeleni ehluke kangako uma i-melanin esikhunjeni sezisulu iye yanqatshelwa yangathinti?

Isikhathi esifanele manje

Bobabili uJennifer Harvey, uprofesa wokuziphatha kobuKristu kwezenhlalo eDrake University eDes Moines, e-Iowa, kanye noDkt.Joseph Jackson, udokotela wezingane eDuke University School of Medicine, bakholelwa ukuthi le ngxoxo ngobuhlanga, ubandlululo, inkululeko, nokukhululwa kwabantu abamnyama iyaqala ekuzalweni.

"Ukube abazali bami baqala nami ngesikhathi sokuzalwa, bengingaba umngane ngokushesha okukhulu empilweni yami futhi ngenza amaphutha ambalwa kakhulu futhi ngalimaza abantu abambalwa ohambweni lwami lokufunda," kusho uHarvey kimi ngenkathi sikhuluma nocingo.

KuJackson, kuzofanele abe nakho inkulumo nengane ngayinye ezinganeni zakhe eziyisithupha. Endodakazini yakhe eneminyaka engu-4, ukugxila kwakhe kuyamqinisekisa ebumnyameni bakhe, ebuhleni bakhe, emandleni akhe okubona ubuhle behlukile. Kumadodana akhe amahlanu ingxoxo ithatha isimo esihlukile nengane ngayinye.

"Empeleni nginamaqoqo amathathu, enye yazo ngicabanga ukuthi ayazi ngokwenzeka nxazonke, bese ngithola omunye ophuke ngokuphelele ngenxa yezinkinga ezisemhlabeni," kusho uJackson. "Ngakho-ke, ngalezo zingxoxo ngizama ukungena, ngendlela efanelekile yobudala ukubuza imibuzo eminingi evulekile ukuphendula imibuzo."

Kepha ayikho iminyaka efanelekile ngokufa kwabantu abamnyama, kanye nokubulawa kwabantu abamnyama ngamabomu yilabo abasezikhundleni abavikelwe yi-white supremacist world order - isakhiwo samandla obandlululo ebesisebenza futhi siphoqelelwa kusukela ngo-1619.

"Ngicabanga ukuthi enye yezinto enesisindo esikhulu ngale sizini ukuthi kunezinto ezisezindabeni ezingangimangazi ngobuqotho," kusho uJackson.

Ukuba musha engxoxweni akusho ukuthi ingxoxo yintsha

Njengoba kunzima futhi kuvusa inkanuko yokubona izikhathi zokugcina zokuphila zihwamuka emzimbeni womunye umuntu ngemuva kokuba esecele umphefumulo, akukusha. IMelika inomlando wokubuka abantu abamnyama behlupheka futhi / noma befa ngenxa yezemidlalo.

Ngemuva kweminyaka eyikhulu nanye ngemuva kweRed Summer kubonakala sengathi izwe lethu selikhona futhi. Esikhundleni sokuthi abantu abamnyama bahudulwe emakhaya abo futhi balengiswe ezihlahleni ezinkulu ezigcawini zomphakathi emcimbini we-lynching, manje sidutshulwa sabulawa emakhaya ethu, emasontweni ethu, ezimotweni zethu, phambi kwezingane zethu, nokunye okuningi Okuningi.

Okwemindeni yabamnyama abane inkulumo maqondana nobuhlanga nokucwaswa nezingane zabo kukhona ukulinganisela okuyingozi okufanele sikushaye phakathi kokugxilisa iqiniso nokuzama ukungakhulisi isizukulwane esiphila ngokwesaba.

Okwemindeni yabamhlophe abane inkulumo, kufanele uqale uqonde umlando nezinhlaka zomphakathi owazalelwa kuzo futhi usizakale ngenxa yelungelo lombala wesikhumba sakho. Bese kuthi umsebenzi ulele ekubuyisaneni lezi zinto ngaphandle kokugxeka, ukuzivikela, noma ukuthwalwa ngecala ungabi nandaba - noma okubi kakhulu, ukhathazeke kakhulu awukwazi ukugxila ngaphandle kwakho.

UHarvey uthe, “Ukuzivikela kwabamhlophe kukhulu kakhulu, kwesinye isikhathi kungenxa yokuthi asinendaba futhi lokho kuyinkinga, futhi kwesinye isikhathi kungenxa yokuthi asazi ukuthi senzeni ngecala lethu. . . [Akufanele] ngaso sonke isikhathi sizizwe sinecala. Singakwazi ukujoyina futhi sithathe izinyathelo njengabahlanganyeli emzabalazweni olwa nobandlululo. ”

Ngosizo lokwazi ukuthi uthini…

UHealthline uqoqe uhlu lwezinsizakusebenza ezilwa nobandlululo lwabazali nezingane. Siyivuselela njalo, futhi sigqugquzela abazali ukuthi baqhubekisele phambili imfundo yabo yokuthi bangazikhulisa kanjani izingane ezibandakanya, ezilungile nezingabandlululi ngokobuhlanga.

Ngemuva kwenkulumo kuza umsebenzi

Noma kunjalo, kudingeka kube nokuningi kokukhuluma ngomlomo mayelana nobudlelwano nokuma ubumbene. Konke kuzwakala kukuhle, kepha ngabe uzovela?

Ilungelo lifeza injongo. Isetshenziselwe ukuphakamisa iningi kuleli isikhathi eside, kulula ukuqonda ukuthi abantu abamhlophe bangabubheka kanjani ubuhlungu babantu abamnyama. Kubuhlungu uDkt Jackson abuzwa njengobakhe.

“Ngalesi sikhathi, sonke siyibonile le vidiyo, futhi siyazi ukuthi impilo ilahlekile, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yombala wesikhumba [sikaGeorge Floyd]. Kube nelungelo abanye abantu abemi eduze ababenalo ngaleso sikhathi futhi abalibekanga phansi. "

Ukuba nengxoxo eqotho ngezinkinga esizibonayo namuhla kudinga ukubhekana namaqiniso alukhuni welungelo nokuthi lisebenza kanjani. Kudinga ukuba nezingxoxo ezingakhululeki maqondana nobuhlanga, ukucwasa ngokobuhlanga, ukucwasa, kanye nengcindezelo, futhi sonke silwela ukwenza kangcono kunesizukulwane esiphambi kwethu.

Umthwalo awukho kubantu abamnyama ukuthi bafundise abantu abamhlophe ukuthi bangabandlululi kanjani. Wonke umuntu omhlophe - owesilisa, owesifazane, nengane - kuzofanele benze umsebenzi onzima wenhliziyo kukho konke ukuphila kwabo ukwenza ushintsho oluhlala njalo.

UHarvey uthe, “Ngicabanga ukuthi uma singathola abantu abamhlophe abaningi ukuhlala eceleni, ushintsho kuzofanele luye. Abantu abamhlophe balalelwa ngenye indlela, okungalungile, kodwa kuyingxenye yokuthi ubukhulu babamhlophe busebenza kanjani. ”

Ngenkathi thina njengabantu abamnyama siqhubeka nokuthwala umthwalo wokuhlupheka kwabantu bakithi, ukubekezela nokubekezelela abelungu baseMelika akuzona kuphela izifundo okufanele sizinikeze izingane zethu. Noma nje umlando wethu ugxile ebuhlungwini nasekuhlukumezekeni uzinze ngokulinganayo enjabulweni, othandweni nasekuqineni.

Ngakho-ke, ngenkathi ububanzi nobubanzi be- inkulumo kuzohluka kusuka ekhaya kuya ekhaya, umndeni nomndeni, kanye nomjaho wokujaha, kubalulekile.

Kuzodingeka ukuthi imindeni yabantu abamnyama ishaye ibhalansi phakathi kobuhlungu, ukwesaba, ukuziqhenya nenjabulo.

Kuzodingeka ukuthi imindeni yabamhlophe ibhalansise phakathi kokuzwelana, amahloni, ukuzizwa unecala kanye nezindlela zokuzivikela eziguqa ngamadolo.

Kepha kukho konke lokhu kukhuluma, kukho konke lokhu kuxoxa, akumele sikhohlwe ukusebenzisa izifundo esifundiswa zona.

"Ngifuna abantu bangagcini nje ngokuba nezingxoxo kodwa baziphile," kusho uJackson.

"Umsebenzi weMelika emhlophe njengamanje wukubheka nxazonke bese ubona ukuthi sicelwa ukuthi sisize futhi ngaziphi izindlela, futhi sikwenze lokho," kusho uHarvey.

Angikwazanga ukuvumelana nabo ngaphezulu.
