Ndishiywe lixesha, ndishiywe lixesha, kodwa ekugqibeleni ndilibambile eli xesha langoku IAtlanta ( I-Atlanta: Ixesha likaRobbin Kwaye njengexesha lokuqala, iyakwazi ukudibanisa amaxesha e-surreal afikelela Incopho yamawele amanqanaba, ngobumnyama obunyanisekileyo obundenza ndibhomboloze ngokuhleka okanye ndicamngce kakuhle. Isiqendu sakutshanje uHelen wayengowokugqibela.
Kwabo bangazalwanga ngeendlela ze IAtlanta , umboniso umalunga nomlinganiswa kaDonald Glover u-Earnest Earn olawula umzala wakhe, umlobi u-Alfred / Paper Poi (uBrian Tyree Henry) e-Atlanta, GA. Abalinganiswa abaphambili abaxhasayo ngabahlobo baka-Al osenyongweni uDarius (Lakeith Stanfield) kunye noVanessa (Zazie Beetz) oyintombazana e-on-again / off-again intombi kunye nomama wentombi yakhe encinci.
UHelen ubeka ubudlelwane phakathi kukaVanessa no-Earn ngaphambili, kunye nabo bonke ububi obuza kunye nokuhlala nomntu onokumthanda, kodwa ongaphenduliyo kolo thando. Ngelixa idrama yobudlelwane phakathi koMvuzo kunye noVanessa libali elibalaseleyo lilodwa- kwaye ndiyayixabisa into yokuba ngaphandle kwengxelo eqhutywa yindoda IAtlanta kakhulu, njengoIssa Rae Ukungaqiniseki , uyakuqonda ukubaluleka kokuxela amabali amnyama agqityiweyo ngamadoda nabafazi – kukuqonda esikufumanayo kuVanessa ukuba kunomdla.
UVanessa, njengomlingisi wakhe, uboniswa njengohlobo oluxubekileyo lwaseJamani nolomnyama (UZazie Beetz uthetha isiJamani ngokutyibilikayo) kwaye ke Oktoberfest kwaye zonke izithethe zakhe zaseJamani zibalulekile kuye njengobumnyama bakhe. Baya kuHelen, GA ukuya kubhiyozela iholide, benomvuzo wokufumana ixesha lonke. Lonke ixesha lesiqendu, sibona indlela ahamba ngayo kwilifa lakhe laseJamani. Ude athi ekuqaleni ndifana noSerena Williams weminyhadala. Bazonda, kodwa abanako ukukhanyela izibalo.
Uxwayisa uMvuzo ukuba kukho umlinganiswa wamaMoor kwaye ke abantu ngamanye amaxesha banxibe iimpahla ezimnyama. Ngapha koko, kukho indawo apho omnye umfazi afumana i-Earn isikhumba esimnyama ade asondele kwaye aqonde ukuba ngumntu omnyama ngenene. Ngelixa kudlalwa uburharha kwaye ngenxa yomvuzo kaEarn ongacacanga, ingqumbo ethe cwaka, inyani kukuba singqina into uVanessa adlule kuyo ubomi bakhe bonke. Ubomi be-microaggressions apho uhlanga oluxubekileyo lusenokumenza ukuba angeneke ngakumbi kodwa khange lumenze ahlangane ngokupheleleyo.
Yonke into ifika entlokweni kwindawo apho uChristina, intombazana exubeneyo yomdyarho waseJamani / omnyama, wazisa uVan njengomama kaLottie kunye nentombazana ka-Earn. Xa uVanessa ebiza uChristina malunga noku, uChristina ucacisa ukuba uVan wenza kubonakale kulungile ukuba ngumama ongatshatanga kuba wakhetha umnyama kwaye uChristina wakhetha umhlophe, bobabini kubuhlobo bakhe nakwiqabane lakhe. Incoko enomdla ngezizathu ezininzi.
Okokuqala, uninzi lwamaxesha xa ezi ncoko zenzeka malunga nebala kunye nokuxubeka kuhlanga oluxubekileyo luqulunqiwe kwaye luhlanga oluxubileyo abamnyama vs abamnyama ngokupheleleyo. Endaweni yokuba sinabafazi ababini abamnyama abathetha ngendlela ababucwangcise ngayo ubomi babo. Ngokwesiqhelo, xa ezi ngxoxo zisenzeka kwimiboniso ngabafazi abamnyama abathandana nabasetyhini abamnyama. Eli lixesha lokuqala endikhe ndabona abalinganiswa bobuzwe bobabini bexoxa ngendlela abakhule ngayo kunye nobume babo bohlanga oluxubileyo kwaye baphuma ngeendlela ezimbini ezahlukeneyo.
Into yesibini kukuba uChristina ngumfazi onobuhlanga o-mnyama. Uninzi lwamaxesha kumajelo osasazo ababhinqileyo aboniswe njengokhanyayo okhanyayo kunye nephethini evakalala ngokwendalo.
Okokugqibela, uVanessa akayilwa njenge-mulatto ebuhlungu. UVanessa uyazi ukuba ungubani kwaye ubuso bakhe buthetha lukhulu ngendlela asele eve ngayo ezi zinto zineminyaka kwaye uyifumana iyacaphukisa kwaye iyacaphukisa kunayo nayiphi na enye into. UVan ngokucacileyo uyaziqhenya ngeengcambu zakhe zaseJamani, uthetha ulwimi, uyazi imidaniso kwaye yinto afuna ukuyabelana notata womntwana wakhe. Kwangelo xesha, uVan akazange abukhanyele ubumnyama bakhe okanye azame ukubuthintela. Ngapha koko, esi sisiqendu sokuqala esimbone engekho kwisitayela seAfro kwaye iinwele zakhe azilulwanga njengoChristina, kubukeka bukhangeleke kakuhle.
UVanessa, njengabafazi abaninzi abanemibala eyahlukeneyo, uhlala kwindawo ye-liminal ethetha ukuba kufuneka ujonge ubundlongondlongo obuvela kumalungu osapho amhlophe ngelixa ujongene nombala wangaphakathi okhoyo kuluntu olumnyama. Ezi zibali zibalulekileyo zokubonisa kumabonwakude kwaye ikwenza oko ngaphandle kokubhenela kwiitrafti ezixhaphakileyo ze-mulatto zesazisi esididekileyo.
Xa uVanessa esithi akazange akhethe mnyama, kungenxa yokuba uyazi ukuba kwakungekho khetho kulo mbandela. Ungumfazi omnyama, ozingcayo ngokuba sisiqingatha-saseJamani. Abantu abamhlophe abazukujonga nokuba yeye okanye uChristina kwaye bangabuhoyi ubumnyama babo bethanda ubuJamani babo. Yinyani leyo uVanessa eyaziyo ukuba uChristina, nentiyo yakhe yangaphakathi kunye ne-fuckery iyonke, akakayazi.
Rhoqo sinamabali malunga noomama abancinci abamnyama abangatshatanga ebavumela ukuba babe ngabantu abagcweleyo ngaphandle kokubeleka. Ngaphandle nje kokuba kwiziqendu ezithandathu ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kolu thotho, uVanessa uhlala esongeza umbono ofanelekileyo. Ungcolile, unesiphako, ungumntu.
