Uponyaji kutoka kwa Ukuu wa Wazungu wa Heshima Pamoja<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\nThis article is featured in the October 2025 episode of the Quakers Today<\/i><\/a> podcast.\n\n

Nilihudhuria nafasi yangu ya kwanza ya ushirika mnamo 1994 katika Mkutano Mkuu wa Marafiki<\/a> (FGC) Kukusanya. Huko, nilikutana na Marafiki wengine Weusi, Wenyeji, Watu wa Rangi (BIPOC) na nikashiriki katika warsha kwa ajili yetu pekee: iliitwa Ukandamizaji wa Ndani na iliwezeshwa na Rafiki wa BIPOC, Anita Mendes. Warsha ilikuwa uzoefu wa mabadiliko kwangu. Nilisikiliza matukio mabaya ambayo Marafiki wa BIPOC walishiriki katika mikutano yao na kutambua jinsi kukutana kwao na Marafiki wa Uropa wa Marekani yote yalivyokuwa sawa. Ilikuwa nzuri sana kutambua kwamba sikuwa nikiwazia matukio haya; Marafiki wengine wa BIPOC walikuwa wanazipitia pia. Kushiriki katika warsha hiyo kulipanda mbegu ndani yangu ambayo imekua zaidi ya miaka 30 iliyopita.<\/p>\n\n

Miaka miwili baadaye, nilitumia muda kwenye kampasi ya Chuo Kikuu cha Cheyney cha Pennsylvania<\/a> , ambacho ni chuo kikuu cha umma kilichoko maili 22 kutoka Philadelphia. Ilianzishwa mnamo 1837 na Quakers kama Taasisi ya Vijana Weusi, ndicho chuo kikuu cha zamani zaidi cha Weusi na chuo kikuu nchini Merika. Nilikuwepo kushiriki katika Ushirika wangu wa kwanza wa Marafiki wa Asili ya Kiafrika<\/a> (FFAD) Kukusanya. Wakati tulipoishi huko, nilikuwa kiroho na nyakati fulani nilihisi nimeinuliwa kimwili kwani wengi wa Waquaker, wanafunzi, na kitivo nilichokutana nacho walikuwa wa asili ya Kiafrika. Ibada yetu ilichanganya mitindo iliyoratibiwa na ambayo haijaratibiwa, ikionyesha asili mbalimbali za jumuiya yetu.<\/p>\n\n

Nafasi nyingine muhimu ya mshikamano iliibuka mwaka wa 2016: Kituo cha Amani cha Marafiki wa Ujima<\/a> (UFPC), kilichozaliwa kutokana na majibu ya wanachama wa FFAD kwa janga la unyanyasaji ulioidhinishwa na serikali dhidi ya Wanaume Weusi, ambao ulikuwepo hasa majira ya joto. UFPC iliunda jumuiya ya ibada ya Quaker yenye mwelekeo wa Kiafrika huko Kaskazini mwa Philadelphia, jumuiya yenye wakazi wengi wa Waamerika wenye asili ya Afrika, ambapo watu binafsi na familia nyingi wanaishi chini ya mstari wa umaskini. UFPC pia inatoa programu, ambazo ni pamoja na zawadi ya chakula mara mbili kwa mwezi, Shule za Uhuru za majira ya joto, na Pan African Sister’s Health Initiative (PASHI), ambayo hufundisha vijana kushona huku pia kutengeneza bidhaa za usafi kama vile pedi za hedhi zinazoweza kutumika tena kwa wanawake barani Afrika na Karibiani. Mnamo 2021, wakati wa janga hilo, Mkutano wa Marafiki wa Ujima uliunda mtandaoni, wengi wao wakiwa BIPOC Quaker jamii bila mipaka.<\/p>\n\n

Mkutano wa Central Philadelphia (Pa.) , FFAD, na FGC zilikuza mbegu ambayo nilipewa niliposhiriki kwa mara ya kwanza katika nafasi ya ushirika. Mbegu hiyo ilikua na kuwa wizara iliyojitolea kukomesha ubaguzi wa rangi ndani ya Quakerism. Sehemu ya huduma yangu imekuwa kutoa nafasi za mshikamano kwa Marafiki wa BIPOC kupitia mafungo, ibada, kushiriki ibada, na nyumba za wazi. Nafasi hizi za mshikamano za Marafiki wa BIPOC ni uzoefu maalum na wa thamani sana kwetu. Nimeona nyuso za Marafiki wa BIPOC zikichangamka wanapopewa nafasi ya kuwa katika anga na Marafiki zaidi ya mmoja wa Rangi. Pia nimepata ahueni kutokana na kujitenga kwangu katika kuwezesha vikundi hivi. Wakati wa uzoefu huu, nimegundua jinsi ilivyo muhimu kwetu wakati wa wakati wetu pamoja kushiriki hadithi zetu za jinsi tulivyokuja kwa Quakerism na kile kinachotuweka hapa.<\/p>\n\n

Ninakabiliwa na swali kila mara, haswa kutoka kwa Wamarekani wa Uropa, kwa nini Marafiki wa BIPOC wanahitaji nafasi za mshikamano. Watu wachache wanaoniuliza swali hilo wamekuwa BIPOC. Ninajua kuwa nafasi hizi za mshikamano hazihitajiki au kutumiwa na Marafiki wote wa BIPOC. Lakini ninafurahi kwamba kwa miaka mingi, nafasi hizi zimekuwa zikipatikana na kutumiwa na wale wanaofanya hivyo.<\/p>\n\n

Matukio haya yanatoa nafasi ya kuunda jumuiya na kuanza kuponya baadhi ya majeraha yanayotokea katika kukutana, maumivu ambayo yanawaka wiki baada ya wiki kwani inatubidi kujificha sehemu zetu na kujihusisha ili kukubalika na mwili mkubwa.<\/p>\n\n

Ninaishi katika ulimwengu unaofuata kile Yawo Brown anachokiita Polite White Supremacy (PWS). Katika makala yao ya mwaka wa 2015 \u201c The Subtle Linguistics of Polite White Supremacy<\/a> ,\u201d walisema, \u201cPolite White Supremacy ni dhana kwamba wazungu wanapaswa kubaki tabaka la watawala huku wakikana kwamba wao ni tabaka tawala, kwa ustaarabu. . . Imetajwa kuwa Casual American Caste System, Delicate Apartheid [Delicate Apartheid].\u201d <\/p>\n\n

Nafasi za mshikamano huunda fursa za kuponya majeraha kutokana na kujifunika sehemu zetu mara kwa mara ili kutoshea katika mikutano yenye wazungu. Katika jamii iliyo na muundo karibu na watu wenye PWS\u2014iliyo na madai ya hila, yaliyowekwa kificho, na yanayoendelea kuwepo ili kukidhi\u2014BIPOC Friends mara nyingi huhisi kulazimishwa kutanguliza faraja nyeupe badala ya uhalisi wetu wenyewe. Kama Brown anavyobainisha, PWS hufanya kazi kupitia faraja, udhibiti, na usiri, ikiimarisha weupe kama kawaida na kuwatenga wengine.<\/p>\n\n

Brown anasema kuwa mbinu tulivu za PWS zimekita mizizi katika kila nyanja ya jamii ya Marekani, na Waamerika wa tabaka zote wanaweza na kushiriki katika Ukuu wa Wazungu wa Heshima. Brown anaendelea kwa undani kueleza kwa nini wanatumia neno PWS badala ya ”ubaguzi wa rangi”: <\/p>\n\n

\n

Kwanza, kusema PWS kunaweka jukumu kwa waundaji wa shida ya kimfumo pekee. Pili, kifungu hiki cha maneno kinazungumzia ujanja na uzembe ambao ukandamizaji unasimamiwa. Tatu, inaondoa mkanganyiko ulioenea sana kati ya ubaguzi wa rangi na ubaguzi. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Pia wanaeleza kuwa Ukuu wa Ustaarabu Mweupe unategemea vipengele vitatu muhimu vya faraja, udhibiti, na usiri ili kuhakikisha mafanikio yake.<\/p>\n\n

Brown anafafanua ubaguzi wa rangi kama ukandamizaji wa kimfumo wa kundi moja la watu ambao wanaweza kuainishwa ndani ya sifa fulani za ajabu katika vizazi vingi na kuidhinishwa na nchi yetu, wazungu walio wengi na tabaka tawala, na kuhusishwa na muundo wa mamlaka na ufikiaji wa rasilimali. <\/p>\n\n

Ukuu wa Wazungu wa Heshima hujaribu kudhibiti lugha, masimulizi, na mtazamo, kuunda fursa ya wazungu na hisia ya kustahiki. Huunda msimbo unaoweka mfumo wa daraja kulingana na rangi\u2014unyanyasaji ilhali ukiudai kwa hila\u2014huwa unawapofusha watu kuona jinsi kunyimwa haki kwa watu wa BIPOC kunavyoboresha maisha yao.<\/p>\n\n

Unaweza kuuliza kwa nini ninajadili Ukuu wa Heshima katika Jarida la Quaker linalolenga nafasi za mshikamano. Jibu langu ni rahisi: watu weupe wengi nchini Marekani-ikiwa ni pamoja na Marafiki-wanaishi katika nafasi ya mshikamano ya mara kwa mara ambapo utamaduni wao unachukuliwa kuwa msingi. Kanuni za Eurocentric hutengeneza nafasi za Quaker. Wengine watasema kwamba hii haitumiki kwa Jumuiya ya Kidini ya Marafiki kwa sababu sisi ni wa kipekee: jumuiya yetu ni tofauti, na tulikuwa dini ya kwanza kukomesha utumwa, baada ya yote.<\/p>\n\n

Kama vile nilivyoshiriki katika Hotuba yangu ya Ukumbusho ya Stephen G. Cary ya Pendle 2021, yenye kichwa ”Mabadiliko Kali: Muda Mrefu kwa Jumuiya ya Kidini ya Marafiki” (ambayo iligeuzwa kuwa kijitabu chenye kichwa sawa), mifumo ya ukuu wa wazungu, ubaguzi wa rangi, ukoloni, na ubepari inaendelea kuweka kuta zinazozuia BIPOC kujiunga na jumuiya yetu na kusalia. Jambo lingine ni kwamba dini yenyewe, kutia ndani Quakerism, iliwapa Wazungu haki ya kutawala Afrika, Karibea, na Kisiwa cha Turtle (Amerika Kaskazini). Walitekeleza uboreshaji wa ardhi na watu, na kuwafanya kuwa mali yote kupitia vurugu za kimuundo zilizoidhinishwa na serikali chini ya kivuli cha Mafundisho ya Ugunduzi. Marafiki pia walitumia Doctrine of Discovery kujenga himaya. Katika kitabu chake Christian Slavery: Conversion and Race in the Protestant Atlantic World<\/em> , Katharine Gerbner asema kwamba kufikia miaka ya 1670, \u201cjamii kubwa zaidi ya Quaker nje ya Visiwa vya Uingereza ilikuwa katika kisiwa cha Barbados chenye watumwa na sukari.\u201d Kulingana na Gerbner, Ann Austin na Mary Fisher walikuwa wamishonari wa kwanza wa Quaker kufika Barbados mwaka wa 1655. Walivutia wapandaji miti, wafanyabiashara, na mafundi wajiunge nao huko Barbados, ambapo utumwa ulikubaliwa katika imani na desturi hizi za Marafiki. Marafiki walitumia Mafundisho ya Ugunduzi kushiriki katika ukoloni wa Barbados, ambapo waligawa ardhi kwa mashamba yao ya sukari. <\/p>\n\n

Mafundisho ya Ugunduzi yaliweka vizuizi kati ya Wazungu na BIPOC kwa kuwaita Wakristo wengine wanadamu na wasio Wakristo kuwa sio wanadamu, na kuunda mfumo wa kisheria, kidini, kisiasa, matibabu, kijamii, kiuchumi na kimaadili ambao ulihalalisha ubora wa wazungu. Ilianzisha mtindo mbaya wa uchimbaji wa maliasili, utumwa, kazi ya kulazimishwa, kutenganisha familia, na mauaji ya halaiki: yote haya yanaendelea kutokea katika ulimwengu wetu leo.<\/p>\n\n

Katikati ya miaka ya 1800, dai la Marekani la Dhihirisho la Hatima liliendesha uvamizi wa magharibi na kusini. Ilishikilia kwamba Marekani ilikusudiwa na Mungu kupanua utawala wake na kueneza demokrasia, Ukristo, na ubepari katika bara zima la Amerika Kaskazini. Uidhinishaji wake ulinyang’anya makabila ya Wenyeji ardhi yao ya pamoja, ya kujitawala na kuunga mkono hisia za wavamizi wa Uropa wa Amerika ya kustahiki utajiri wa watu walioibiwa na ardhi. Iliaminika kuwa ya haki na isiyoweza kuepukika.<\/p>\n\n

Mifumo hii ya kikatili ya kudhoofisha utu iliunda mifumo ya ukandamizaji ambayo ilianzishwa na kudumishwa na hofu na mauaji. Wazee wangu walivumilia kuondolewa kwa kiserikali kutoka kwa ardhi ya mababu zao, kutenganishwa kwa watoto kutoka kwa wazazi wao, utumwa, na mauaji ya halaiki ya kitamaduni kwa njia ya kuiga.<\/p>\n\n

Marafiki walimiliki, kuuzwa, kufanya biashara na kuwateka Waafrika waliokuwa watumwa. Quakers waliona utumwa kuwa muhimu kwa maendeleo yao ya kiuchumi. Baada ya ziara ya George Fox huko Barbados mnamo 1675, Friends walianzisha mikutano ya kawaida ya ibada kwa watu wa asili ya Kiafrika lakini kwa wale tu waliowafanya watumwa. Waafrika na watu wa asili ya Kiafrika hawakuruhusiwa kuwa washiriki wa Jumuiya ya Kidini ya Marafiki hadi 1784. Ibada kwa wazao wa Kiafrika ilifanyika katika nyumba tofauti za mikutano, au ikiwa walialikwa kuabudu katika jumba la mikutano na watu wa asili ya Kizungu, waliwekwa katika sehemu zilizotengwa nyuma au balcony wakati wa karne ya kumi na nane na kumi na tisa huko Marekani. Marafiki walikuwa wazuri kuhusu kuchangia pesa na wakati wao kuanzisha shule za watu wa asili ya Kiafrika, kama vile Taasisi ya Vijana Weusi. Walakini, Quaker kwa sehemu kubwa walisita kuwaingiza watoto wa asili ya Kiafrika katika shule za Quaker.<\/p>\n\n

Kupitia imani yetu ya msingi ya kuendelea kwa ufunuo, mabadiliko yametokea ndani ya Jumuiya ya Kidini ya Marafiki tangu karne ya kumi na saba. Haikuwa hadi katikati ya karne ya ishirini ambapo Friends walipokea wanafunzi mara kwa mara ambao hawakuwa wa asili ya Uropa katika shule zao nyingi kwenye Pwani ya Mashariki ya Marekani. Sasa, watu wenye asili ya Kiafrika wanaweza kuwa wanachama wa mikutano ya Marafiki; tunaweza kuketi popote tunapochagua katika nyumba za mikutano; na watoto wetu wanasoma katika shule za Quaker pamoja na watoto wa kizungu. Hata hivyo, vikwazo vimesalia katika jumuiya za Marafiki.<\/p>\n\n

Washiriki wa FGC’s 2024 Friends of Color Fall Retreat wakifanya kazi kwenye chemshabongo katika Powell House.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

Zamani zetu zipo kila wakati. Ninakuhimiza uende kwenye tovuti ya Friends General Conference na usome tamko la Muungano wa Quaker for Uprooting Racism (QCUR) kuhusu \u201c Majeraha ya Rangi na Haki ya Kikabila katika Jumuiya za Quaker<\/a> .\u201d Katika taarifa yao, QCUR inaonyesha jinsi weupe wa katikati ulivyo katika msingi wa Quakerism. Unapohoji tamko hili, fikiria kuhusu matarajio ya jumuiya yako. Mikutano mingapi huanza na matoleo? Ni mara ngapi vyakula vya Quaker huangazia vyakula vya kiasili vya Waamerika wa Kiafrika, Waasia, Walatino, Wapalestina, au Wa kiasili? Je, unaona mila za densi zaidi ya contra, square, au folk kwenye mikusanyiko yetu? <\/p>\n\n

Uimarishaji huu wa kitamaduni wa weupe unaonyesha kwa nini nafasi za mshikamano za BIPOC hazihitajiki tu bali ni muhimu. Ndani yao, miili yetu hupumzika. Lugha yetu inabadilika. Chakula chetu, muziki, na hadithi zimezingatia na kusherehekewa. Hatuhitaji tena kubeba faraja nyeupe; sisi tu.<\/p>\n\n

Quakerism yenyewe ni nafasi ya mshikamano, iliyowekwa kando na jamii pana. Furaha wanayopata Marafiki wengi kwenye mikutano ya kila mwaka au Mkutano wa FGC huakisi kile marafiki wa BIPOC wanahisi katika nafasi zetu takatifu. Kama vile Marafiki weupe wanavyopata upya katika jumuiya, Marafiki wa BIPOC wanahitaji hilo pia, hasa tunapopitia hali ya kutengwa katika mikutano, shule na mahali pa kazi.<\/p>\n\n

Vizuizi vilivyoanzishwa na Ukuu wa Heshima Mweupe huelezea kwa nini nafasi za ushirika za Marafiki wa BIPOC zinahitajika na kuthaminiwa na wengi. Ninataka mahali ambapo mahitaji yangu, uzoefu, na hisia zimezingatiwa: mahali ambapo ngozi yangu ya kahawia, nywele za kinky, mavazi, chakula, muziki, na ngoma huonekana na kutibiwa kama kawaida.<\/p>\n\n

Katika nafasi za mshikamano za BIPOC, mwili wangu unalegea, na sauti yangu na lugha hubadilika. Watu katika maeneo haya wanajua kutokana na uzoefu jinsi unavyohisi kuambiwa kila siku kwamba wewe si mzuri vya kutosha na hautakuwa wa kawaida, hata ujaribu sana. Niamini: Nilijaribu kwa miaka mingi. Katika nafasi za mshikamano, tunashiriki maisha yetu na kupata nafasi ya kuzingatia na kusherehekea ”udhaifu” wetu, hali isiyo ya kawaida ambayo nimekua nikiithamini. Kuwa na nafasi ambapo sihitaji kuweka kituo kila mara Ukuu wa Upole Weupe hunipa fursa ya kupumua.<\/p>\n\n

Majira haya ya kiangazi, nilihudhuria mkutano wa kila mwaka ambapo walitoa kikundi cha ibada mahususi kwa Marafiki wa BIPOC. Kikundi chetu kilikuwa kidogo, lakini sisi sote tuliweza kushiriki huduma kila siku tulipokutana, na tulishukuru kwa wakati wetu pamoja. Ilikuwa ni fursa pekee wakati wa vikao hivyo kwamba tuliweza kuwa katika jumuiya na kila mmoja.<\/p>\n\n

Marafiki wa BIPOC wanatamani na wanahitaji muda wa kuwa pamoja katika jumuiya, kwa njia ile ile Marafiki hufurahia kuja pamoja kwa vipindi vya mikutano vya kila mwaka na mikusanyiko mingine ya Quaker. Fikiria kutengwa kwa Marafiki wengi kote nchini katika jumuiya zao za nyumbani, shuleni, na mazingira ya kazi; Naam, Marafiki wa BIPOC hupata uzoefu huo wa kutengwa kwa nguvu zaidi. Imekuwa nzuri kuona mikutano ya kila mwaka na mashirika mengine ya Quaker yanatoa nafasi ya mshikamano kwa Marafiki wa BIPOC. <\/p>\n\n

Ninashukuru kwamba jumuiya zaidi za Quaker zinaunda nafasi za mshikamano za BIPOC. Nafasi hizi hutoa njia kama hiyo ya kuokoa maisha kwa Marafiki wa BIPOC. Kuna watu kadhaa ambao nafasi hizi za mshikamano ndiyo njia pekee ya kudumisha muunganisho na Marafiki kwa sababu wameondoka kwenye mikutano yao ya karibu, hawana mmoja au hawako salama kuhudhuria. Tunaishi katika nyakati zisizo na uhakika katika nchi hii na ulimwengu. Wakati watu wa asili ya Ulaya wanaogopa, watu wa BIPOC wanaogopa. Ninapostaafu kutoka kwa Mkutano Mkuu wa Marafiki mnamo Novemba, ninatoa shukrani kwa kuwa katika nafasi ya kuwaunga mkono, na ninaomba wataendelea kukua na kustawi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
