Empeleni ngidlala i-sweatshirt yase-Hillman College njengoba ngibhala lokhu. Futhi nje amasentimitha ambalwa ukusuka kwi-laptop yami kunezibuko zami ze-retro flip-up—ikhophi yekhabhoni yalezo ezazigqokwe uDwayne Wayne kumasizini ambalwa okuqala efilimu. Izwe Elihlukile . Edeskini lami lokuhlinzeka kunemibala yami Imaski yobuso bukaWhitley Gilbert , okuhlanganisa negama elithi Bougie elibhalwe pink. Futhi uma ubungabheka umlando wami wakamuva wokuphequlula ku-inthanethi, uzobona lezo ziqephu ezindala ze-akhawunti ye-sitcom yakudala cishe cishe amaphesenti angama-80 alolo hlu.
Ngiyazi, ngiyazi. Kuningi. Kodwa lapho kukhona izizathu ezizwakalayo zokuthi kungani inhliziyo yami ye-nostalgic ithathwa ngale ndlela yakudala yama-'90s. Enye yazo iqiniso elingephikwe, elingephikiswe ukuthi Izwe Elihlukile yi umbukiso omuhle kakhulu wama-'90s okwaso sonke isikhathi. Izandla phansi.
Kulabo abangazi kahle ngochungechunge, Izwe Elihlukile yin a I-Cosby Show i-spin-off elandela iqembu labafundi nobuhlakani ekolishi eliqanjiwe, ngokomlando iBlack Hillman College (i-alma mater ka-AKA Cliff ka-Clair Huxtable). Nakuba umbukiso ekuqaleni ugxile ku-Denise Huxtable (Lisa Bonet) njengomfundi omusha wase-Hillman, uchungechunge lwavuselelwa ngemva kwesizini yalo yokuqala, bethula iqembu elihlukile lama-Coeds Abamnyama njengoba bezulazula ezikhathini ezinhle nangezinhle zokuphila kwasekolishi.
Manje, angikaze ngiye esikoleni somlando sabaNsundu, kodwa noma nini lapho ngibuka Izwe Elihlukile (okwamanje ekuzitheleni kwami okwesine, i-BTW), ngizizwa ngiyingxenye yalowo mphakathi. Ukubona abafundi abaNsundu abanekhono belwela ukwenza umhlaba ube indawo engcono kube nomthelela omkhulu empilweni yami—futhi uma ukwahlulela ngawo wonke amakhasi abalandeli akhona, kubukeka sengathi akumina ngedwa.
Ngezansi, bheka izizathu eziyisithupha zokuthi kungani Izwe Elihlukile iwuhlelo lwe-TV oluhamba phambili lwama-'90s. Isikhathi.
ULynn Goldsmith / Umnikeli1. Awekho amanye ama-'90's abonisa njengawo
Ingxenye yalokho okwenza Izwe Elihlukile Kuyinganekwane ukuthi yenza indawo yokuxoxa izindaba ezazingaxoxwa ngaleso sikhathi. Yebo, ngokobuchwepheshe bekukhona 'ama-sitcoms aMnyama wama-90s athinta kafushane impilo yekhampasi (njengalapho u-Will no-Carlton baya e-ULA ngo- INkosana Entsha yaseBel-Air ), kodwa akukho neyodwa kuzo eyayigxile ikakhulukazi ekuphileni kwansuku zonke kwama-Black coeds e-HBCU (ngokomlando ikolishi labaNsundu kanye nenyuvesi).
Sibonga umqondisi wohlelo, uDebbie Allen, owaphothula e-Howard University (i-HBCU yangasese), Izwe Elihlukile inikeze ukuphila kwekhampasi okuqabulayo nokungokoqobo, okugcwele nokugqekezwa kwegumbi le-dorm, amaphathi asekolishi, amaseshini okufunda asebusuku kakhulu kanye nemibuthano ku-hangout yekhampasi eyintandokazi yawo wonke umuntu, i-Pit. Iphinde yahlola inselele yokulinganisa isikole nomsebenzi nobudlelwano. Futhi okuhle kunakho konke, igqamise izingxenye ezijabulisa kakhulu zempilo yomfundi, kusukela kumidanso yesikole neviki lokujaha kuya emiqhudelwaneni yokungena.
2. Yakhombisa izwe ukuthi abantu abaMnyama abawona umona
Noma ngubani oke wabona lolu hlelo angavuma ukuthi ukuhlukahluka kwabalingisi kuyisizathu esikhulu sokuthi kungani Izwe Elihlukile kusazwakala kubalandeli eminyakeni engamashumi amathathu kamuva. Sazana nabalingiswa abaningi ababenesifiso sokuvelela nabayinkimbinkimbi, bonke ababenobuntu obuhlukile. Futhi lokhu kwakusho ukuthi ababukeli abaningi Abamnyama babekwazi ukuzibona beboniswa kulaba balingisi be-TV—into eyayiyivelakancane kakhulu phakathi nohlelo.
Engxoxweni ne-NBC, uCharlene Brown, owayedlala uKim Reese ongumfundi, wachaza , Kwakukhona okuthile kothile, noma wawumuphi umthunzi Omnyama noma wawungewona umthunzi Omnyama. Noma ngabe ubuneminyaka emingaki, noma ngabe ubusuthathe umhlalaphansi futhi uzama ukufaka isandla kulaba bantu abasha njengoMnu. Gaines. Ukuthi wawungumuntu wangaphambili wezempi njengoColonel Taylor. Noma ngabe ubungumuntu obecabanga ukuthi sekuphelile ngawe kodwa ubuzothatha ithuba uziqalele kabusha bese uzama futhi njengoba kwenzekile uJaleesa. Noma wawunelungelo futhi wawungenawo umqondo wokuthi yini umuntu ovamile okufanele abhekane nayo njengoWhitley...Kwakukhona okuthile kwawo wonke umuntu.
3. ‘Izwe Elihlukile’ lasingatha izindaba eziningi ezibalulekile
Izwe Elihlukile yayi (wayyyy) ngaphambi kwesikhathi sayo, futhi okuningi kwakho kuhlobene nendlela abasingatha ngayo izindaba zezenhlalo nezepolitiki. Kwagcina ngokuba ngomunye wemidlalo yokuqala ekhuluma ngokukhululekile ngezihloko eziyimpikiswano ezazingavamile ukukhulunywa kumabonakude ngawo-1990, okuhlanganisa i-HIV, ukudlwengulwa kwezinsuku, ubandlululo kanye nesichibiyelo samalungelo e-Equal Rights.
Mhlawumbe esinye seziqephu ezisenza sicabange kakhulu yilesi 'Cat's In the Cradle,' esikhuluma ngokucwasa nokucwasa ngokwebala. Kuwo, u-Dwayne Wayne (Kadeem Hardison) noRon Johnson (Darryl M. Bell) baxabana nabafundi abamhlophe besikole esiyizimbangi ngemuva kokucekela phansi imoto kaRon.
4. Kodwa yayilinganisela lezo zihloko ezibucayi namahlaya ahlakaniphile
Ingxenye yalokho okwenze lo mbukiso wagqama kakhulu yindlela ababhali abalinganisela ngayo izindaba ezingathi sína namahlaya nobuwula. Basingatha izihloko ezinzima ngendlela eqotho, kuyilapho bephinda behlisa umoya ngokubuya kuka-Jaleesa okunesiphithiphithi kanye nemigqa eyodwa kaWhitley (ephelele nge-Southern twang enzima).
Isiqephu esikhumbulekayo esibonisa le bhalansi isizini yesithupha ethi 'The Little Mister,' lapho u-Dwayne ephupha khona ngokhetho lwase-U.S. lwango-1992—ngaphandle kwalesi sikhathi, ubulili buyashintshwa. Kulo mdlalo, uWhitley (Jasmine Guy) udlala uMbusi uJill Blinton ngenkathi edlala uHilliard Blinton, umlingani wezepolitiki okufanele abhekane nokubhekisiswa kwabezindaba njalo kanye nehlazo elikhulu.
5. Lolu hlelo luphinde lwagqugquzela abantu abaningi ukuthi baye emakolishi
Ngaphezu kokuletha ukuhleka okuhle nokuletha izindaba ezibalulekile endaweni esobala, Izwe Elihlukile futhi yaqinisekisa ababukeli abaningi abasebasha ukuthi baye ekolishi.
Ngo-2010, uDkt. Walter Kimbrough, umongameli we-Dillard University, wembula I New York Times lowo Melika Imfundo ephakeme ikhule ngamaphesenti ayi-16.8 ukusuka ku-1984 (ukuqala kwe- I-Cosby Show ) kuya ku-1993 (nini Izwe Elihlukile iphelile). Wabuye wanezela, 'Phakathi nesikhathi esifanayo, ngokomlando amakolishi Abamnyama namanyuvesi akhule ngamaphesenti angu-24.3—amaphesenti angu-44 angcono kunayo yonke imfundo ephakeme.'
Ngokuvezwa komdlalo okujabulisayo kwempilo yomfundi, kulula kakhulu ukubona ukuthi kungani kube nokukhuphuka kwamanani kulezo zinombolo zokubhalisa.
6. Yasinika uDwayne noWhitley
Empeleni ngizwe abantu bethi owabo ubuhlobo kuyinkinga. Uma kubhekwa ukungavuthwa kukaWhitley ekwenzeni uDwayne alinde isikhathi eside kangaka kanye nokwehluleka kukaDwayne ukuzibophezela kuye (ngemuva kwesiphakamiso sakhe sokuqala), ngikuthola ngokuphelele. Kodwa nansi into. Nakuba ubudlelwano babo bebungaphelele, bebehlale bephonsela inselelo ukuthi kube inguqulo yabo engcono kakhulu.
UDwayne wafundisa uWhitley ukuthi kunokuningi ekuphileni kunengcebo yezinto ezibonakalayo kanye nokuthola umlingani omuhle. UWhitley ufundise uDwayne ukubaluleka kokuzibophezela, umthwalo wemfanelo kanye nokubekezela. Futhi njengoba beshilo kusizini yesihlanu ethi 'Londoloza Okungcono Kakhulu Okokugcina,' empeleni bafundisana indlela yokuthanda. Impela, babevela ezizindeni ezihlukene futhi baxabana kakhulu, kodwa akulisusi iqiniso lokuthi i-chemistry yabo yayingokoqobo.
