A primera vista, en nada. <\/p>\n<p>El Arsenal es uno de los sitios de rumba m\u00e1s caros del pa\u00eds, siempre lleno de caras lindas con tarjetas de cr\u00e9dito Gold. En la ribera del Atrato lo que se ven son desplazados de las comunidades negras huy\u00e9ndoles a los violentos que los expulsan de sus tierras.  <\/p>\n<p>Pero dos noticias judiciales de la semana pasada muestran que tienen bastante en com\u00fan: la realidad de la discriminaci\u00f3n racial y la violencia. <\/p>\n<p>En Cartagena se dict\u00f3 el primer fallo en la historia colombiana que impone una sanci\u00f3n econ\u00f3mica por racismo. El caso ya es bien conocido. Se trata de la tutela que present\u00f3 Johana Acosta en 2004 para protestar porque dos discotecas de la Calle del Arsenal le negaron la entrada por ser negra. El asunto lleg\u00f3 a Bogot\u00e1 al a\u00f1o siguiente, cuando la Corte Constitucional fall\u00f3 a favor de la demandante y orden\u00f3 que un juzgado cartagenero calculara el monto que las discotecas deb\u00edan pagar a Johana para compensarla por la humillaci\u00f3n sufrida y por la afrenta a sus derechos. <\/p>\n<p>Con el apoyo de la RedAfro, Johana esper\u00f3 pacientemente tres a\u00f1os, hasta que la semana pasada la Jueza Octava Civil Municipal de Cartagena estim\u00f3 en casi 50 millones la indemnizaci\u00f3n que cada discoteca debe pagar por da\u00f1os morales. Ah\u00ed fue Troya. Porque Johana, su familia y sus abogados empezaron a recibir amenazas telef\u00f3nicas. No se sabe de d\u00f3nde viene la intimidaci\u00f3n. Lo que s\u00ed se sabe es que todo es por el fallo: mejor dicho, porque la jueza y Johana se atrevieron a hacer cumplir la ley. <\/p>\n<p>Ah\u00ed es donde el Primer Mundo de la burbuja tur\u00edstica de Cartagena se parece al Tercer Mundo de los r\u00edos del Pac\u00edfico. El nexo entre los dos mundos se confirma en la otra decisi\u00f3n judicial de la semana anterior, que inexplicablemente los medios no han registrado. Se trata del pronunciamiento m\u00e1s importante de la Corte Constitucional \u2013y de cualquier entidad estatal\u2014 sobre la tragedia humanitaria generalizada que viven las comunidades negras desplazadas o atrapadas por la violencia, desde Choc\u00f3 hasta Nari\u00f1o. <\/p>\n<p>Necesitar\u00eda otra columna, y m\u00e1s, para hacer justicia a esa joya jurisprudencial (el Auto 005 de 2009, con ponencia de Manuel Jos\u00e9 Cepeda). Por ahora, basta resaltar que la Corte dice bien clarito, con todas las cifras y los documentos en mano, que los afrocolombianos del Pac\u00edfico y de otras regiones son v\u00edctimas de la tenaza de la discriminaci\u00f3n racial, la violencia, la indiferencia del Gobierno nacional, y las ganas que les tienen a sus territorios las compa\u00f1\u00edas mineras y agr\u00edcolas. Por eso, la Corte le ordena al Gobierno hacer lo que nunca ha hecho: desde un balance sobre la situaci\u00f3n hasta una pol\u00edtica de protecci\u00f3n de los territorios de las comunidades negras y de las vidas de sus miembros.<\/p>\n<p>As\u00ed que los pronunciamientos judiciales sobre Cartagena y el Pac\u00edfico pondr\u00e1n a prueba la voluntad del Estado y la sociedad de enfrentar la violencia del racismo. Para comenzar, las organizaciones afrocartageneras ya programaron una protesta en la Calle del Arsenal para respaldar a Johana. Y seguramente la Alcaldesa de Cartagena, la primera en tener una pol\u00edtica contra el racismo en esa ciudad, estar\u00e1 pendiente. Pero falta ver qu\u00e9 har\u00e1n el Gobierno nacional, la Defensor\u00eda del Pueblo y el resto del Estado para que cese la intimidaci\u00f3n y se cumplan los fallos. Sobra decir que el mundo nos observa y que m\u00e1s de un afrodescendiente poderoso estar\u00e1 pendiente del asunto desde Washington.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In what are similar the street of the Arsenal (the fanciest of the Pink Zone in Cartagena) and the miserable borders of the Atrato River in Choc\u00f3?
