UFebhuwari yinyanga Yomlando Wabantu Abamnyama. Kungani Kufanele Kumnyama?
UFebhuwari yinyanga Yomlando Omnyama e-United States. Kuyinyanga lapho, njengezwe, sigubha khona impumelelo yama-Afrika aseMelika. Inyanga lapho sibonga khona iminikelo eyenziwe ngabesilisa nabesifazane base-Afrika kuleli lizwe. Yinyanga lapho izingane ezifunda isikole zenziwa ukuba zilalele inkulumo kaDkt King ethi “Nginalo Iphupho” futhi kungenzeka zinikwe amashidi aqukethe isithombe sakhe azowafaka umbala bese elenga odongeni lwekilasi.
Umbuzo: Kungani sikuvuma lokhu okufeziwe, le minikelo yinyanga eyodwa kuphela ngonyaka? Futhi kungani ibizwa njengomlando "Omnyama"? Lapho kuxoxwa ngeminikelo eyingqophamlando yabantu abahloniphekile baseYurophu asibabizi ngomlando “omhlophe”. Inani le-melanin, noma ukuntuleka kwalo, okukhona ngaphakathi komuntu akufanele libe nomthelela wokuthi kuzofanele kugujwe nini noma uma kuphumelele lokho.
Umbuzo okufanele ubuzwe ukuthi kungani okusunguliwe okuthile, okufeziwe kanye / noma okuphumelelayo kuphathwa ngendlela ehlukile ngokuya ngomlando wokhokho bakho. Iminikelo kaDkt Martin Luther King Jr, uHarriet Tubman, uDkt Charles Drew, uGeorge Washington Carver nabanye abaningi isizile ekubumbeni imicu yalelizwe futhi yasiza ukuzuzisa izimpilo zabo bonke abantu baseMelika, hhayi labo abane-Afrika kuphela imvelaphi.
Ukutholwa kukaDkt.Charles Drew okuyisisekelo sokugcina nokucubungula igazi lokumpontshelwa akugcini ngokusetshenziswa kulabo bantu abaziwa njengoMnyama. Futhi nentuthuko ekwelashweni kwe-cataract ayiphayona nguDkt. Patricia Bath noma ukuhlinzwa kwenhliziyo evulekile okwenziwa nguDkt.Daniel Williams. Ukuqhubeka nokubeka phansi ukubungazwa kwalokhu nokunye okuningi okutholakele enyangeni ethile yonyaka kubukeka njengokucasula nokungahloniphi.
Njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili, inkulumo kaDkt King ethi “Nginalo Iphupho” ibonakala iyindlela yokufundisa lapho kufundiswa zonke izinto ngomlando wabamnyama. Kepha, ngabe njengezwe ake sma yini ukulalela ngokweqiniso amazwi enkulumo yakhe enesithonjana? UDkt. King uthe, “Nginephupho lokuthi ngelinye ilanga lesi sizwe sizovuka sifeze lokho okushiwo inkolelo yaso yangempela:… ukuthi bonke abantu badalwe belingana.” Uma sizokwazi ukufeza le nhloso, kufanele sizisuse emcabangweni wokuthi umlando wabamnyama baseMelika ngandlela thile ungaphansi komlando wabamhlophe baseMelika futhi unjalo nje ufanele izinsuku ezingama-28 zokugubha. Kumele sidlule kulo mkhuba wokuhlukanisa nowokubandlulula futhi samukele ukulingana komlando wethu.
Ekuphetheni, akuwona umlando wabamnyama… kumane kungumlando, umlando wethu, umlando waseMelika.
