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

Siz "dekolonizatsiya"ni qanday aniqlaysiz? Men ko'p kolonistlar ommaviy deportatsiyalarni tasavvur qilishini his qilaman, bu esa ularning dunyoni qanday ko'rishini ko'p narsani aytadi. Mening uchun dekolonizatsiya tashqi ta'sirni markazdan chetga surish va an'analarimizni qaytarish demakdir. Albatta, an'analarni qaytarish, agar biz erimiz ustidan nazoratga ega bo'lmasak va hali ham genotsidga duch kelsak, bo'sh harakatdir. Shartnomalar buzilgan yoki umuman bajarilmagan holda qolmoqda. Yevropa, AQSh va Kanada haqiqatan ham qullikda ushlab turgan, ekspluatatsiya qilgan va o'g'irlagan jamoalarga to'lashsa, bankrot bo'lardi. Isroil kabi etnoshtat yaratish ham muammoli bo'lgani uchun, biz o'rtacha nuqtani topishimiz kerak. Ko'p narsalar qaytarib bo'lmaydi, masalan, Muqaddas joyni buzish usuli sifatida Mt. Rushmore'ni o'yib qo'yish - shuning uchun biz ko'plab xatolarni to'g'rilashga harakat qiladigan va yangi adolatsizlik shaklini yaratmaydigan yo'lni topishimiz kerak. Odamlar irqiy munosabatlarni qora va oq kabi oddiy bo'lishini xohlashadi, lekin bu juda murakkab va nozik. Mahalliy amerikaliklar Yevropa kolonizatorlari tomonidan afrikaliklar bu yerga olib kelishidan oldin qullikka olingan; Ispaniyadan kelgan erkin qora erkaklar mahalliy amerikaliklarni o'zlariga tegishli bo'lgan qora qullar kabi egallagan. Buffalo askarlari bizni o'ldirgani uchun medallar olganini va Mustaqillik Deklaratsiyasi hali ham bizga "yovuzlar" deb taalluqli emasligini aytishni unutmaylik. Menimcha, dekolonizatsiyaning birinchi qadamidir, odamlar tarixni qabul qilishlari va bizning sharoitlarimiz o'tmishda ildizlanganligini tushunishlari kerak. Buni anglash juda murakkab emas, lekin agar bizning jamiyatimiz romantik sevgi nima ekanligi haqida kelishuvga erisha olmasa, "tenglik" nima ekanligi haqida hech qachon kelisha olmaymiz.
