Tiwtter debate racismo Francia Márquez y Marbelle
Una discusión de redes sociales que ha pasado a la interacción personal, y que complica aún más la polarización del país.

Marbelle terminó borrando el trino en el que señalaba a Francia Márquez como ‘king kong’ y a Gustavo Petro también lo descalificaba, la respuesta de cientos a la vallecaucana, fue de burlas a su figura, a su voz, a su carrera y a su vida personal.

Noticias Colombia.

Insultos, burlas y hasta amenazas van y vienen en Twitter teniendo como protagonista a la cantante Marbelle, ferrea defensora del expresidente Álvaro Uribe y detractora de Gustavo Petro, su frase: «Cacas y King kong» en referencia a Francia Márquez, en un trino que duró más de 20 horas publicado, desató toda una ‘guerra’ de insultos, ofensas y demás.

Se refería a Petro, y a su fórmula vicepresidencial.

Delito de discriminación: «Por discriminación y racismo se entiende cualquier acción realizada que arbitrariamente impida, obstruya o restrinja el pleno ejercicio de los derechos de las personas por razón de su raza (color de piel), nacionalidad, sexo u orientación sexual)».

  • Constituye: prisión de 12 a 36 meses, multa de diez a 15 salarios mínimos legales vigentes (más de $13 millones).

La candidata caucana no ha hablado al respecto, pero el mismo candidato del Pacto Histórico, contestó en la red social: «¿Es libertad de expresión o xenofobia?».

Márquez no se ha pronunciado directamente sobre esos mensajes en tono de racismo y de burlas a su color de piel y figura, que se han disparado estos últimos días. A ella misma algunos también le reclaman, un «lenguaje más moderado» cuando hace sus críticas.

Marbelle si lo hizo en su cuenta de Twitter: «Los mamertos jamás entenderán que no es un tema de color…me aterra esa señora (…)».

Y si se pronunció el Observatorio de Discriminación Racial, que anunció que «iniciará acciones jurídicas por los comentarios discriminatorios publicados en redes sociales».

Piden que las autoridades tomen medidas.

Las respuestas contra Marbelle:

Otros, han preferido ser más mesurados; llevar el debate al tema puntual del racismo, el bullying por el físico de una persona, y los insultos y hasta amenazas disfrazadas de ‘libertad de expresión’.

La misma Marbelle, sigue respondiendo a quienes la atacan, también con insultos, burlas. Y le han denunciado su cuenta aunque no se la han cerrado.

Para muchos, «no todo vale», y menos, si se trata de defender posiciones políticas.

El trino de Gustavo Bolívar, que para unos intentaba defender a Francia pero terminó complicando la polémica, también fue borrado por el reelegido senador.

Una discusión de redes sociales que ha pasado a la interacción personal, y que complica aún más la polarización del país.

Es un problema el racismo, clasismo, bullying por la figura; el cuerpo y la apareciencia de una persona, pero en el marco de la discusión política a puertas de unas elecciones, señalan analistas, han logrado desviar la atención a la discusión sobre el futuro del país.

No hay debates tan acalarados que lleven a la gente a discutir sanamente, con datos, con investigaciones sobre las propuestas de los candidatos, por ejemplo.

El debate sobre los candidatos al Congreso también se centro en candidaturas presidenciales y opiniones partidistas, ahora, la discusión tampoco se centra en lo que vendrá en materia de gobernabilidad.

Eso ha llevado a un debate en el dime y direte, en el que parece que no hay discusión ni racionamiento para decir: «Me equivoqué» ni ofrecer disculpas, que por lo menos ayuden a calmar ánimos.

Al contrario, se suman opiniones, se recuerdan declaraciones.

Twitter se ha convertido en el ‘ring’ y caballo de batalla de diferentes temas.

During February, a special ritual takes place backstage at The Lion King musical on Broadway.

On show days, the four young actors who play the lion cubs Simba and Nala seek out fellow actor Bonita J. Hamilton in the moments before the curtain goes up at the Minskoff Theatre.

The youngsters have learned their lines and choreography, of course, but during Black History Month, they also tell Hamilton what they’ve learned about a Black historical figure. It might include a birthdate, the figure’s biggest achievements and some facts about their lives.

“February is my favorite month because the children — the cubs — get to teach me about Black history,” said Hamilton, who plays the hyena leader Shenzi onstage and offstage looks after the cubs with warmth and respect. “Every day in the month of February, they bring me a Black history fact.”

Hamilton has led the voluntary ritual for 17 years and the children seem to enjoy the challenge. “Telling Miss Bonita my fact is just really fun to do,” said Sydney Elise Russell, 10, who plays young Nala.

This month, the kids have honored Aretha Franklin, Shirley Chisholm, Whitney Houston, Billie Holiday, Frederick Douglass, James Baldwin, Michael Jordan, George Washington Carver, Angela Davis, Ethel Waters, Maya Angelou, Muhammad Ali, Dorothy Height and Mabel Fairbanks, among others.

“They’re learning, I’m learning. Because I say, ‘You’re teaching me something,'” said Hamilton, a graduate of Alabama State University and Brandeis University. “You’ve got to know whose shoulders you’re standing on.”

Last Friday night, Vince Ermita, 12, who plays Simba for four performances a week, sought out Hamilton to recite what he’d lately learned online about music icon Louis Armstrong.

“Louis Armstrong was born on Aug. 4, 1901, in New Orleans, Louisiana. He was a jazz trumpeter and vocalist, and one of the most iconic people he performed with was Ella Fitzgerald,” Vince said, without notes.

“His improvisation changed the landscape of jazz, and some of his most famous songs were What a Wonderful World, West End Blues and Hello, Dolly! And he passed away on July 6, 1971.”

Vince had clearly nailed the assignment, and Hamilton beamed. But she had a follow-up question: What was Armstrong’s nickname?

“Satchmo?” he answered.

“All right!” Hamilton exclaimed, giving him a hand slap.

The other young actors also offered their facts. Alayna Martus, 12, picked gymnast Dominique Dawes — nicknamed Awesome Dawesome — and Sydney picked writer and poet Phillis Wheatley Peters, whose most famous poem is On Being Brought from Africa to America.

Hamilton also had a question when Sydney was done: “Do you know the name of Peters’ first published book?” Sydney did not but promised to return with the answer.

“Circle back, good job. Good job, guys. Thank you. I learned something today,” said Hamilton.

The backstage February ceremonies have had a lasting impact on generations of actors who have cycled in and out of the show, under Hamilton’s charismatic leadership. This year, several former child alumni of The Lion King — led by Caleb McLaughlin of the Netflix series Stranger Things — got together to make a video for Hamilton — each submitting their Black History figures for February.

Hamilton, from Montgomery, Alabama, the home of the civil rights movement which her family aided, started the tradition after coming to The Lion King and asking her then-young co-stars about the meaning of February.

“One day, just so casually, I said, ‘It’s Black History Month, guys. Let’s talk about it. What do you know about Black History Month?’ And they said, ‘Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks,'” she recalls, shaking her head. “There’s so much more to our history.”

Hamilton mixed it up a bit this year, kicking off the month by picking the names of several Black heroes from South Africa and putting them into a cup for the cubs to pick: Chris Hani, Steve Biko, Mamphela Ramphele and Tsietsi Mashinini, among them. The Lion King is set in South Africa, after all.

“They make me very proud. It’s like a game. It’s not anything that’s homework. Learning can be fun,” she said.

It’s a fitting ritual for a show in which Africa is celebrated and there are six Indigenous languages sung and spoken: Swahili, Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, Tswana and Congolese.

The Lion King is steeped in ritual tradition, tribal things. Even the fabrics that we wear in the show have tribal markings, the mask, the makeup — all of it is tribal,” said Hamilton.

The ceremony clearly honors a legacy of greatness — updated, naturally, as the inclusion of gymnast Simone Biles can attest — but also teaches the children to respect how they got here.

“They have to know that there was a time when we weren’t allowed to perform on stage or, if we were, we couldn’t walk into the front door of the theater,” said Hamilton.

“It is a privilege to be able to share your gifts on the world’s largest stage. And that’s what I try to instill in them because we weren’t always able to do it.”

Mexican Julio César ‘Rey’ Martínez, flyweight world champion, and Nicaraguan Román ‘Chocolatito’ González will fight on March 5 at the Pechanga Arena in the US city of San Diego, the World Boxing Council (WBC) announced on Wednesday. ).

“I am delighted to be able to move up in weight and fight the best right away. ‘Chocolatito’ is a living legend and a fighter I have always admired. Going with him in my first fight at super flyweight is special: The night will be a war and I’m ready for her,” Martinez wrote.
