Wakati Jarida la Marafiki lilipotangaza nia yetu ya kuchapisha toleo maalum kuhusu Diversity among Friends, tulitoa maelezo yafuatayo: ”Mada hii inapaswa kueleweka kwa mapana unavyotaka.” Tulikuwa na uchunguzi wa kina wa njia ambazo Marafiki ni (au wanaweza kuwa) tofauti. Katika kutazama jedwali la yaliyomo kwenye ukurasa unaofuata, mtu anaweza kuhitimisha kwa usahihi kwamba kusudi hili la awali la suala maalum halijafikiwa. Utakachopata\u2014ambacho kinaonyesha mawasilisho tuliyopokea\u2014ni msisitizo kwa kategoria chache, huku maeneo makubwa yakikosekana. Kuna tofauti kidogo za kitheolojia, tofauti kidogo za kimwili (isipokuwa ni uziwi na kupoteza kusikia), na hakuna chochote juu ya umri, darasa la kiuchumi, elimu, mwelekeo wa ngono, jiografia, au njia nyingine nyingi ambazo Marafiki hutofautiana kutoka kwa kila mmoja. <\/p>\n

Badala yake\u2014pamoja na maoni machache yaliyolenga kwa mapana kuhusu jinsi tunavyoshughulikia tofauti kati yetu (ambazo ni za kufundisha sana kuhusu mienendo ya utofauti kwa ujumla)\u2014makala mengi yanachunguza eneo moja: tofauti za rangi. Ikizingatiwa kuwa Marafiki wanachunguza suala hili katika mikutano mingi ya kila mwaka kwa sasa, labda hili ndilo eneo moja la utofauti linaloangaziwa zaidi kwa Marafiki kwa wakati huu. Au pengine Marafiki, kama wengi katika jamii yetu, wanahusisha neno ”anuwai” na ubaguzi wa rangi, hasa uhusiano kati ya Waamerika wa Kiafrika na wale wa asili ya Ulaya. <\/p>\n

Majira ya kuchipua yaliyopita, tulipokuwa tukitafuta makala kuhusu mada mbalimbali za suala hilo\u2014ikiwa ni pamoja na tofauti za rangi\u2014ujumbe kwa tahadhari ulifika kwa barua-pepe (iliyohaririwa kwa uwazi):<\/p>\n

Nina tatizo na ombi kutoka kwa chapisho lolote litakalozingatia ”diversity” na kisha linazungumzia umuhimu wa ”maswala ya rangi” kujumuishwa. Sehemu ya mjadala wetu inahitaji kuwa kwa nini tunalinganisha ”wasiwasi” kuhusu kuwa tofauti na tabia za ubaguzi wa rangi. Utofauti ni jambo au tabia yenye afya. Makala kuhusu masuala ya rangi katika Jumuiya ya Kidini ya Marafiki ambayo nimesoma huwa ni makala kuhusu ubaguzi wa rangi. Je, kuna masuala ya rangi ambayo yanajitokeza kama kitu kingine zaidi ya hayo? Ubaguzi wa rangi si jambo jema\u2014kwa hakika, ni jambo la kuua. Hili kwangu sio suala la semantiki. Mimi ni kwa utofauti! Mimi wote ni kinyume na ubaguzi wa rangi. Maadamu tunajumuisha ”maswala ya rangi” katika chapisho linalolenga juu ya anuwai ni hisia yangu kwamba tunafanya vibaya kwa mjadala wa anuwai. Sifahamu kwamba, katika historia ya Quakerism, utofauti umewahi kuwa ”tatizo” – ni ubaguzi wa rangi wa Jumuiya ya Kidini ya Marafiki jana na leo na, ikiwa tutaendeleza hili, kesho ambayo inahitaji si tu majadiliano lakini hatua na mabadiliko ya tabia. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kama utakavyoona\u2014kulingana na onyo hili\u2014ubaguzi wa rangi, badala ya utofauti, uko mbele na katikati katika makala nyingi tunazotoa kuhusu somo hili. Kuna biashara ambayo haijakamilika kati ya Marafiki katika kushughulikia ubaguzi wa rangi. <\/p>\n

Sitajaribu kufupisha msukumo wa maandishi haya isipokuwa kukuonya mapema kwamba mada ndogo ndogo huchunguza sio tu viwango vya kina vya ufahamu wa Marafiki, lakini kwa zile za tamaduni kubwa zaidi. Mengi yaliyo hapa yanafundisha zaidi ya somo la ubaguzi wa rangi na utofauti wa rangi. Si mara zote makala hizi zitasaidia kusoma vizuri, lakini zinalenga kusema ukweli. Kwa Jumuiya ya Kidini ya Marafiki leo, kuzingatia uelewa wa watu wa rangi tofauti na kuthamini kwa wazi ni muhimu kama ilivyowahi kuwa. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
