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

Sidee baad u qeexaysaa "dekolonayshanka"? Waxaan dareemayaa in badan oo ka mid ah degganayaashu ay haystaan sawirro ku saabsan qaxooti ballaaran, taasoo muujinaysa sida ay weli u arkaan adduunka. Aniga, dekolonayshanku wuxuu ka dhigan yahay in aan ka dhigno saameynta dibadda mid aan muhiim ahayn iyo in aan dib u helno xuquuqdeena dhashay, oo ay ku jirto dhaqanka. Dabcan, dib u helidda dhaqanka waa fal madhan haddii aanan haysan xakameyn dhulkeena oo aan weli la kulmayno genocide. Heshiisyadu waxay sii ahaanayaan kuwo jabtay ama gebi ahaanba aan la fulin. Yurub, Maraykanka & Kanada waxay noqon lahaayeen kuwo burbursan haddii ay dhab ahaan bixiyaan bulshooyinka ay addoonsadeen, ka faa'iideysteen iyo ka xadeen. Maadaama abuurista dowlad qabiil sida Israa'iil ay sidoo kale tahay dhibaato, waa in aan raadiyo meel dhexe. Dhawaaqyo badan ma la burin karo, sida in la qodo Mt. Rushmore si loo xumeeyo goob quduus ah-- sidaas darteed waa in aan helnaa waddo hore oo isku dayaysa in ay saxdo khaladaad badan iyadoo aan sidoo kale abuurin nooc cusub oo cadaalad darro ah. Dadku waxay rabaan in xiriirka jinsiyadu uu noqdo mid sahlan sida Madow iyo caddaan, laakiin waa mid ka adag oo faahfaahsan tan. Maraykanka asaliga ah waxaa addoonsaday gumeysiyaasha Yurub ka hor intaan Afrikaan la keenin halkan; ragga Madow ee xor ah ee ka yimid Isbaanishka ayaa lahaa Maraykanka asaliga ah sida addoommada Madow ay u raaci jireen madaxda Cherokee ee Jidka Qadhaadh. Ha lagu xusin Askariga Buffalo oo abaalmarinno lagu siiyo dilkooda iyo Bayaanka Xorriyadda oo weli leh inaysan khusaynin "dadkan xun". Waxaan u maleynayaa in talaabada ugu horreysa ee dekolonayshanka ay tahay in dadka ay aqbalaan taariikhda oo ay fahmaan in duruufahayaga ay ku xidhan yihiin waqtigii hore. Ma aha mid aad u adag in maskaxdaada lagu wareejiyo, laakiin waxay u muuqataa in haddii bulshadeenu aysan ku heshiin waxa jacaylka romantiigu yahay, waligeen ma heshiin doonno waxa "sinnaan" ay ka dhigan tahay.
