How do you define "decolonization"? I feel a lot of settlers imagine mass deportations, which says a lot about how they still view the world. For me, decolonizing means de-centering outside influence and reclaiming our birthrights, including tradition. Of course, reclaiming tradition is an empty gesture if we have no control over our land and are still experiencing genocide. Treaties remain broken or totally unfulfilled. Europe, the U.S. & Canada would be bankrupted if they actually had to pay the communities they've enslaved, exploited and stolen from. Since creating an ethnostate like Israel is also problematic, we have to find a midway point. So many bells can't be unrung, like carving Mt. Rushmore as a way of defacing a sacred site-- so we have to figure out a way forward that attempts to correct myriad wrongs while also not creating some new form of injustice. People want race relations to be as simple as Black and white, but it's much more complex and nuanced than that. Native Americans were enslaved by European colonizers before Africans were brought here; free Black men from Spain owned Native Americans just like Black slaves had to accompany their Cherokee masters on the Trail of Tears. Not to mention Buffalo Soldiers getting medals for killing us and the Declaration of Independence still saying it doesn't apply to us "savages". I guess the first step to decolonization is for people to accept history and understand that our circumstances are rooted in the past. It's not really that complicated to wrap your mind around that, but it feels like if our society can't come to agreement about what romantic love is, we'll never agree on what "equality" means.

Defining Decolonization

Ahoana no anazavanao ny "fanafoanana ny fanandevozana"? Mieritreritra ny mpanjanaka maro ny amin'ny fanondranana an-tapitrisany, izay milaza betsaka momba ny fomba fijeriny ny tontolo. Ho ahy, ny fanafoanana ny fanandevozana dia midika hoe manala ny fiantraikan'ny ivelany sy mamerina ny zo teraka, anisan'izany ny kolontsaina. Mazava ho azy, ny mamerina ny kolontsaina dia fikasana foana raha tsy manana fifehezana amin'ny tany isika ary mbola miaina ny fanandevozana. Mbola tapaka na tanteraka tsy tanteraka ny fifanarahana. Raha tena tsy maintsy mandoa ny fiaraha-monina izay nanandevo, nanararaotra ary nangalatra tamin'izy ireo i Eoropa, ny Etazonia sy Kanada, dia ho very vola izy ireo. Satria ny famoronana fanjakana etniko toy ny Israely dia olana ihany koa, dia tsy maintsy mitady toerana afovoany isika. Maro ny zavatra tsy azo averina, toy ny fanapahana ny Mt. Rushmore ho fomba hanimbana toerana masina-- ka tsy maintsy mitady làlana mankany amin'ny ho avy isika izay manandrana manitsy ny hadisoana maro nefa tsy mamorona endrika vaovao amin'ny tsy rariny. Te-hahita fifandraisana amin'ny loko ho tsotra toy ny mainty sy fotsy ny olona, fa sarotra sy manankery kokoa noho izany. Ny Amerikana teratany dia voafonja tamin'ny mpanjanaka Eoropeana talohan'ny nahatongavan'ny Afrikana teto; ny lehilahy mainty afaka avy any Espana dia nanana Amerikana teratany tahaka ny tokony hananan'ny andevo mainty ny tompony Cherokee azy ireo tamin'ny Lalana Fanaintainana. Aza adino ny Buffalo Soldiers mahazo medaly noho ny famonoana antsika sy ny Fanambarana ny Fahaleovantena mbola milaza fa tsy mihatra amin'ny "sava-dalàna" isika. Heveriko fa ny dingana voalohany amin'ny fanafoanana ny fanandevozana dia ny fanekena ny tantara sy ny fahatakarana fa ny toe-javatra misy antsika dia mifandray amin'ny lasa. Tsy dia sarotra loatra ny mandinika izany, fa toa raha tsy afaka mifanaraka momba ny dikan'ny fitiavana romantika ny fiaraha-monina, dia tsy hahita fifanarahana momba ny dikan'ny "fahamarinana" isika.
