• ʻO ka manawa kūpono i kēia manawa
• ʻO ka mea hou i ke kamaʻilio ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo he kamaʻilio hou
• No ke kōkua e ʻike nei i ka mea e ʻōlelo ai…
• Ma hope o ke kamaʻilio e hiki mai ana ka hana

Ke kamaʻilio pololei ʻana e pili ana i nā pilikia a mākou e ʻike nei i kēia lā e koi ana i ke kūʻē ʻana i nā ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka pono a me ka hana.

"ʻO ka manaʻoʻiʻo ke ʻano o nā mea i lana ʻia, ka hōʻike o nā mea ʻike ʻole ʻia." Hebera 11: 1 (NKJV)

ʻO kēia kekahi o kaʻu mau paukū punahele i ka Baibala. Ma ke ʻano he makua koʻu ʻiʻini no kaʻu keiki kāne he 5 ona makahiki. Loaʻa koʻu manaʻoʻiʻo i kēlā me kēia mea aʻu e manaʻo ai, nā mea āpau aʻu e ʻike ʻole ai i kēia manawa i kēia ʻāina, e loaʻa iā ia. Ma ka piko o ka papa inoa o nā mea aʻu e lana ai no kahi ola lōʻihi.

ʻEleʻele mākou, a ʻo ka mea i ʻike ʻia i nā pule 2 i hala iho nei, he kuleana ko mākou ʻeleʻele. He mea weliweli ia i ko mākou ola, i ka hiki iā mākou ke huki manuahi, me ka nīnau ʻole ʻia a make paha ma muli o ia.

ʻOiai wau e ʻike nui nei i kēia ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole kaʻu keiki, akā hoʻokahi lā koke, ma mua o ka hope, pono ʻo ia e ʻike. Pono ʻo ia e ʻike i nā lula o kāna dualitas - o ka W.E.B. Ua kūkākūkā mua ʻo DuBois i ka hopena o ke kenekulia 19 - pono ʻo ia e hoʻomau i ka hoʻāʻo e ola.

No laila, pehea wau e kamaʻilio ai? Pehea kekahi makua kēia kamaʻilio me kā lāua keiki? Pehea mākou e hoʻopaʻa ai i kahi kumuhana e ulu nei me kēlā me kēia make hou, no kēlā me kēia hana maikaʻi a maikaʻi ʻole e hopena i nā hopena ʻē aʻe ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia ka melanin i ka ʻili o nā mea i loaʻa.

ʻO ka manawa kūpono i kēia manawa

ʻO Jennifer Harvey, he polofesa o ka nohona kaiāulu Karistiano ma ke Kulanui ʻo Drake ma Des Moines, Iowa, a me Kauka Joseph A. Jackson, he kauka pediatrician ma ke Kula Nui Lapaʻau o ke Kulanui ʻo Duke, ua pili kēia kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka lāhui, ka hoʻokalakupua, ke kūʻokoʻa, a me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻeleʻele i ka wā hānau.

"Inā ua hoʻomaka koʻu mau mākua me aʻu i ka wā hānau, hiki iaʻu ke lilo i mea aloha i mua o koʻu ola a hana i nā hapa he nui a hōʻeha i ka hapa liʻiliʻi o kaʻu huakaʻi aʻo," i ʻōlelo ʻo Harvey iaʻu i kā mākou kamaʻilio ʻana ma ke kelepona.

No Jackson, pono iā ia e loaʻa ka ʻōlelo me kāna keiki ʻeono. No kāna kaikamahine 4 makahiki, ke hoʻokūpaʻa nei kāna mea i loko o kona ʻeleʻele, i kona nani, i kona hiki ke ʻike i ka nani i ka ʻokoʻa. No kāna mau keikikāne ʻelima ke ʻano o ke kamaʻilio me kēlā me kēia keiki.

"He ʻāpana kolu kaʻu i loaʻa maoli, ʻo kekahi o lākou aʻu e manaʻo nei ʻike ʻole i nā mea e hana nei a puni, a laila loaʻa iaʻu kahi mea i haki loa i nā pilikia o ka honua," wahi a Jackson. "No laila, me kēlā mau kamaʻilio e hoʻāʻo wau e hele i loko, i kahi ʻano kūpono e noi ai i nā nīnau ākea e huki iā lākou."

Akā ʻaʻohe mea maoli i kūpono e pili ana i ka make ʻeleʻele, a me ka luku ʻana i ka poʻe ʻeleʻele e ka poʻe i ka mana i pale ʻia e kahi papa honua supremacist keʻokeʻo - kahi mana mana racist i hana a hoʻokō ʻia mai 1619.

"Manaʻo wau ʻo kekahi o nā mea i koʻikoʻi nui e pili ana i kēia kau, aia kekahi mau mea i ka nūhou e hoʻopūʻiʻo ʻole iaʻu," wahi a Jackson.

ʻO ka mea hou i ke kamaʻilio ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo he kamaʻilio hou

E like me ka paʻakikī a me ka hoʻonāukiuki ʻana e like me ka ʻike ʻana i nā manawa hope loa o ke ola i mahuʻi ʻia mai ke kino o kekahi ma hope o kā lākou noi ʻana no ka hanu, ʻaʻole ia he mea hou. He moʻolelo ko ʻAmelika o ka nānā ʻana i nā poʻe ʻeleʻele e ʻeha a / a make paha i ka haʻuki.

Hoʻokahi haneli me hoʻokahi mau makahiki ma hope o Red kauwela aia paha kā mākou ʻāina ma laila. Ma kahi o ka huki ʻia ʻana o nā poʻe ʻeleʻele mai ko lākou mau home a kau ʻia mai nā kumulāʻau nui i nā ākea lehulehu i kahi pāʻina lynch, ua kī ʻia mākou i ka make i loko o ko mākou mau hale ponoʻī, i loko o kā mākou hale pule, i kā mākou kaʻa, i mua o kā mākou keiki, a nui, nui hou aku.

No nā ʻohana ʻeleʻele i loaʻa ka ʻōlelo e pili ana i ka lāhui a me ka hoʻokalakupua me kā lākou poʻe keiki aia kahi pale kaulike e pono ai mākou e hahau ma waena o ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo a me ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hāpai ʻole i kahi hanauna e noho nei i ka makaʻu.

No nā ʻohana keʻokeʻo ka ʻōlelo, pono ʻoe e ʻike mua i ka mōʻaukala a me nā ʻano nohona āu i hānau ʻia ai a e pōmaikaʻi ai ma muli o ke kuleana o kou kala ʻili. A laila moe ka hana i ka hoʻopili ʻana i kēia mau mea me ka ʻole o ka hoʻoluhi, pale ʻana, a i ʻole kaumaha i ka lawehala a lilo ʻoe i apokalaka - a ʻoi aku paha ka maikaʻi ʻole, no laila ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻohoka iā ʻoe iho ma waho ou.

Ua haʻi ʻo Harvey, "He nui ka pale pale keʻokeʻo, i kekahi manawa no ka mea ʻaʻole mākou e mālama a he pilikia kēlā, a ʻo kekahi manawa no ka mea ʻaʻole mākou ʻike i ka mea e hana ai me kā mākou lawehala. . . ʻAʻole mākou e hewa mau. Hiki iā mākou ke hui pū a hana i ka hana ma ke ʻano he kōkua i ka hakakā anti-racist. "

No ke kōkua e ʻike nei i ka mea e ʻōlelo ai…

Ua hōʻuluʻulu ʻo Healthline i kahi papa inoa o nā kumuwaiwai anti-racism no nā mākua a me nā keiki. Hoʻohou hou mākou ia mau, a paipai mākou i nā mākua e hoʻonui i kā lākou ʻike ponoʻī e pili ana i ka hānai ʻana i nā keiki komo, kūpono, a me nā anti-racist.

Ma hope o ke kamaʻilio e hiki mai ana ka hana

Eia nō naʻe, pono e ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ka lawelawe lehelehe e pili ana i ke allyship a kū i ka lokahi. Maikaʻi paha nā mea a pau, akā e hōʻike ʻoe i luna?

Hāʻawi ʻo Privilege i kahi kumu. Hoʻohana ʻia ia e hāpai i ka hapanui o kēia ʻāina no ka manawa lōʻihi, maʻalahi e hoʻomaopopo pehea e hoʻohuli ai ka poʻe keʻokeʻo i ka maka o ka poʻe ʻeleʻele. He ʻeha ʻo Kauka Jackson i manaʻo ai nona.

"I kēia manawa, ua ʻike mākou āpau i ke wikiō, a ʻike mākou ua lilo ke ola, ʻo ka hapa nui o ke kala o ka ʻili o [George Floyd]. Ua loaʻa kahi kuleana e kū aʻe ana nā poʻe ʻē aʻe i kēlā manawa a ʻaʻole lākou i waiho i lalo. "

Ke kamaʻilio pololei ʻana e pili ana i nā pilikia a mākou e ʻike nei i kēia lā e koi ana i ke kūʻē ʻana i nā ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka pono a me ka hana. Pono ia i nā kamaʻilio hōʻoluʻolu ʻole e pili ana i ka lāhui, ka hoʻokalakiko, ka hoʻowahāwahā, a me ka hoʻokaumaha, a ke ʻimi nei mākou āpau e hana ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka hanauna ma mua o mākou.

ʻAʻole ka hana ma luna o ka poʻe ʻeleʻele e aʻo i ka poʻe keʻokeʻo pehea e hoʻokalakiko ʻole ai. ʻO kēlā me kēia kanaka keʻokeʻo - ke kāne, ka wahine, a me ke keiki - e hana i ka hana puʻuwai paʻakikī i loko o ko lākou ola e hopena i ka loli mau.

'Saidleloʻo Harvey, "Manaʻo maoli wau inā hiki iā mākou ke kiʻi hou aku i nā poʻe keʻokeʻo e noho ma waho o ka ʻaoʻao, e hiki mai ka loli. Hoʻolohe ʻia nā poʻe keʻokeʻo ma kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa, ʻaʻole pololei ia, akā he ʻāpana ia o ka hana ʻana o ke kiʻekiʻe keʻokeʻo. "

ʻOiai mākou he poʻe ʻeleʻele e hoʻomau i ka hāpai i ka kaumaha o ko mākou poʻe, ke ahonui a me ke ahonui me ʻAmelika keʻokeʻo ʻaʻole wale ia nā haʻawina a mākou e hāʻawi aku ai i kā mākou keiki. ʻOiai ke kumu o ko mākou mōʻaukala i hoʻokumu ʻia i loko o ka ʻeha a me ka trauma ua hoʻokumu ʻia ia i ka hauʻoli, ke aloha, a me ke kūpaʻa.

No laila, ʻoiai ke ākea a me ka laulā o ka ʻōlelo e ʻokoʻa ia mai ka home a ka home, ka ʻohana i ka ʻohana, a ka lāhui i ka heihei, pono ia.

Pono ia no nā ʻohana ʻeleʻele e paʻi i ke kaulike ma waena o ka ʻeha, ka makaʻu, ka haʻaheo, a me ka hauʻoli.

Pono ia no nā ʻohana keʻokeʻo e hahau i ke kaulike ma waena o ka hoʻomaopopo empathy, hilahila, hewa, a me nā ʻano pale pale kuli.

Akā i kēia mau kamaʻilio ʻana a pau, i kēia kamaʻilio kamaʻilio ʻana ʻana, mai poina iā mākou e hana i nā haʻawina a mākou i aʻo ʻia ai.

"Makemake wau ʻaʻole hiki i nā poʻe ke kamaʻilio wale akā e ola maoli iā lākou," wahi a Jackson.

"ʻO ka hana a ʻAmelike keʻokeʻo i kēia manawa ke nānā a ʻike i kahi e noi ʻia ai mākou e kōkua a ma nā ʻano hea, a hana i kēlā," i ʻōlelo ʻo Harvey.

ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke ʻaelike me lākou.
