From Noah Sow’s Blog:

Afro-German History in New Karasek Book Release

The post before this one is about a book release in German(y). The story is important to me though, so I’ll try to tell you the short version in English:

The book by publishers Hellmuth Karasek and teNeues features important and historical letters and includes a letter from Rosemarie Peña to me. Rosemarie was one of the afro-german babies who had been given up for adoption into other countries after pressure from Germany shortly after (!) WWII.

In Germany, the subject it is being widely ignored by the majority. Not many people know about these historical facts. This is one of the reasons I appreciate this release – another reason being that I get to share a release with Rosemarie ♥.

Thank you, Rose, for teaching me such important things about our history.
It is BHM after all (-:

For German readers, purchase the book.

Read Rosemarie’s personal story.

Let’s Commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Richard Wright’s Death.

November 28, 2010 marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Richard Wright. It would be wonderful if all of us could gather around his gravesite in Paris but that may be impossible for most of us. Let’s each of us mark this occasion then in a personal and spirited way.I am asking that anyone in Paris between now and the end of this month make a trip to the Columbarium at Père Lachaise cemetery (marker #848),  pay your respects, leave something, and take a photo of yourself there then send it to me. At month’s end I will make an honorary collage to our great African American expatriate writer.

If you can’t make it to the cemetery, document your passage infront of his former home at 14 rue Monsieur LePrince (6th district) or at his nearby favorite café Le Tournon on rue du Tournon. (If you need directions, let me know).

Nowhere near Paris? – send me your words/drawings/photos to Richard that you’d like added to the collage.

Email: walkthespirit@netscape.net
Photos no larger than 1 MG, thanks.

Many Thanks and Best Regards, Julia

African Diaspora, Invisibility and Denial in Diasporic Communities

Hat Tip: Black German Cultural Society

Call for Papers: 3rd Annual North Carolina Central University African Diaspora Studies Symposium – Conspicuously Unseen: Invisibility and Denial in Diasporic Communities

March 19-20, North Carolina Central University, Durham, NC

Presented by the Department of History, the Global Studies Program, and the College of Liberal Arts

North Carolina Central University invites proposals for the third annual African Diaspora Studies Symposium, to be held March 19-20, 2011. The theme for this year is “Conspicuously Unseen: Invisibility and Denial in Diasporic Communities.” The symposium seeks to explore the ways that Diasporic communities see themselves and the ways that they are perceived by the dominant cultures that surround them. Special attention will be given to the Afro-Latin American, Afro-European, and Afro-Asian experience, though any topic within the Diaspora will be considered. In keeping with the breadth of the Liberal Arts, we seek proposals for papers, panels, performances (music or theater), film, and graphic art from any branch of Diaspora studies. The symposium has typically brought together scholars, activists, and artists, representing disciplines as varied as Public Health and performance art. We look forward to continuing this tradition, bringing together academics, community members, and creative artists to engage with each other on issues facing the African Diaspora and African Diaspora Studies. North Carolina Central University, located in the heart of Durham, was founded in 1910 and is the first state-supported liberal arts institution to serve the black community. The University prides itself on its relations with the Durham community, and the NCCU African Diaspora Studies Symposium encourages input and participation from both academics and the community.

Papers and submission

Individual abstracts should be 250 words or less and panel abstracts should be 750 words or less. Abstracts should be submitted by Wednesday, December 15, 2010. Please include, for all participants, a five-line biography with institutional/organizational affiliation and contact information. Please direct all submissions to Youssef J. Carter at youssefcarter@gmail.com and Joshua Nadel at jnadel@nccu.edu. This two-day symposium is free and open to the public. It will be held on the campus of North Carolina Central University in Durham, NC on March 19 and 20, 2011.

SIXT racist ad

SIXT Sommerloch: Supremacy als Werbegag
Veröffentlicht am 30. Juni 2010 von Red. der braune mob
Offensichtlich hat SIXT kein Interesse daran, an Schwarze Menschen zu vermieten – sonst würden sie sie weniger unverschämt instrumentalisieren. Das kann man sch ja für die nächste Mietwagensuche vormerken.

Diese Mail -und damit verbundene Werbung- erreichte uns heute:

—— Weitergeleitete Nachricht
Von: Mekonnen Mesghena

An: Werberat
Betreff: Sixt-Werbung in der Süddeutschen Zeitung vom 23.06.2010
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

die Sixt-Werbung in der Süddeutschen Zeitung vom 23.06.2010 (siehe Anlage) verkörpert eine ethnozentrische Weltsicht, die rassistisch und chauvinistisch ist. Sixt benutzt die Wohlstandsgefälle zwischen Reich (Deutschland) und Arm (Ghana), um die Überlegenheit Deutschlands gegenüber Ghana zu demostrieren. Diese ewigen Klischees eines armen, chaotischen und unterlegenen Afrikas sind es genau die Bilder, die die Denkweise der Mehrheitsbevölkerung über den Kontinent Afrika prägen. Bei aller Freiheit und Kreativität der Werbung bleibt der ständige Rückgriff auf solche alten und chauvinistischen Klischees abgeschmackt und beleidigend.

Gegen eine solche ethnozentrische Weltsicht in der besagten Sixt-Werbung protestiere ich aufs Schärfste. Den Deutschen Werberat möchte ich deshalb dringend dazu ermutigen, sich mit dem Inhalt der Werbung auseinander zu setzen.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Mekonnen Mesghena

Anmerkung des Mob:
Da der ‘Werberat’ sich offensichtlich vor allem aus Menschen zusammensetzt, die keine Vorbildung in den Bereichen ‘struktureller Rassismus’, ‘dominanter Diskurs’ oder ‘critical whiteness studies’ besitzen, und darüber hinaus ein Gremium der Werbewirtschaft selbst ist (also nicht unabhängig), erkennen wir seine Entscheidungen in Diskriminierungs-Angelegenheiten nicht an.
Unsere Erfahrungen mit dem “Werberat”, was eigene Positionierung und Aufklärungsversuche angeht, sind entsprechend. Siehe: http://www.derbraunemob.info/deutsch/content/sogehtsnicht/content_daneben_hoerzu.htm
Auch findet sich auf der Homepage des Werberates die “Rasse“.
Dies hatten wir (gut erklärt) moniert, es kam keine Antwort.
Eine vielsagende ‘Entscheidung’ des Werberates kann man auch hier nachlesen.

Es bleibt natürlich trotzdem allen ungenommen, sich an diese Gruppe zu wenden. Wir halten direktes Verbraucher_innen-Feedback an die Firmen jedoch für mindestens ebenso wichtig und erfolgversprechend. Ohne Zuschriften der “Verbraucher_innen” bzw Zielgruppe gibt es für die betreffenden Gewerbetreibenden keinen Grund zur Auseinandersetzung mit dem Grad der Demokratie oder des Diskriminierungsgehaltes ihrer Außendarstellung.

Wir sind allerdings auch der Ansicht, dass es beim Konsument_innenfeedback nicht darauf ankommt, die Firmen von der eigenen Meinung zu überzeugen, sondern ihnen diese einfach nur deutlich mitzuteilen. Der Sinn von Feedback ist ja nicht unbedingt “Einsicht beim Gegenüber” sondern zunächst, sich selbst mit diskriminierender Werbung nicht einverstanden zu zeigen, und danach, die Firma zu anderem Handeln zu bewegen. Dies machen Firmen meistens ohnehin ganz unabhängig von “Überzeugung”, sondern einfach aus ökonomischen oder Publicity-Gründen. Je mehr Menschen sagen/schreiben, dass sie etwas daneben finden, desto wahrscheinlicher ist auch ein Erfolg – egal wie diese Menschen sich ausdrücken.

Date: Mon, June 28, 2010 11:10:43 +0200
To: Advertising Council
Subject: Sixt advertising in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, 23.06.2010
Ladies and Gentlemen,

Sixt advertising in the Süddeutsche Zeitung of 23.06.2010 (see annex) embodies an ethnocentric view of the world is racist and chauvinistic. Sixt uses the wealth gap between rich (Germany) and arm (Ghana) to demo up the superiority of Germany to Ghana. All those cliches of a poor, chaotic and inferior Africa, it is precisely the images that shape the mindset of the majority population on the continent of Africa. For all the freedom and creativity of advertising remains constant recourse to such old and jingoistic cliches tasteless and offensive.
Against such an ethnocentric view of the world in the said Sixt advertising I protest in the strongest terms. The German Advertising Council I would therefore like to strongly encourage them to deal with the content of advertising.
Yours sincerely,
Mekonnen Mesghena

Note from the Mob:
Since the “Advertising Council” composed, seemingly for people who have no training in the areas of ‘structural racism’, ‘dominant discourse’ or ‘critical whiteness studies’ have, and also a body of the advertising industry itself (ie not independent) We recognize its decisions in discrimination matters not start.

Our experience with the Advertising Council, in terms of their positioning and detection experiments are, accordingly. See: http://www.derbraunemob.info/deutsch/content/sogehtsnicht/content_daneben_hoerzu.htm

Also found on the website of the Advertising Council, the “race”.
This is what we had (well explained) complained that there was no answer.

There can be meaningful ‘decision’ of the Advertising Council read it here.

It remains, of course, won all ungenommen, to apply to this group. We keep Verbraucher_innen direct feedback to the companies to at least as important and promising. Without the letters “Verbraucher_innen” or target group there is on traders no reason to address the degree of democracy or the content of their public image discrimination.

However, we also believe that it does not matter when Konsument_innenfeedback to convince the company of his own opinion, but this just clearly communicate them. The purpose of feedback is not necessarily about “access at the opposite,” but first, advertising itself with discriminatory not to show agreement, and then persuade the company to another action. Companies usually do this anyway regardless of “conviction”, but simply for economic or publicity reasons. The more people say / write that they find something next to it, the more likely it is a success – no matter how these people express themselves.

Helen Grant, UK Elections

Hat tip: Operation Black Vote

Helen Grant, OBV Alumnui has made political and Conservative Party history by winning the Southeast seat Maidstone and the Weald becoming the first Black female Conservative in the House of Commons. The seat she takes over was represented by Westminster firebrand Anne Widdecombe for 18 years.

After two and a half years of good old fashioned hard work and positive campaigning we have seen-off a particularly unpleasant challenge in the fight to retain Ann Widdecombe’s seat, taking 48% of the vote.

I want to send out my sincere thanks to everyone who voted for me, and to everyone who has helped and supported me in this general election campaign.

I am delighted too that we have retained control of Maidstone Borough Council.

Thank you all once again. With very best wishes,

When “art” is offensive: Solostücke und satirische Schönheitskonkurrenz

Solostücke und satirische Schönheitskonkurrenz\
Jenny Beyer, Christoph Leuenberger und Anja Müller (v. l.) schlüpften in “fremde Haut”, um im Trio gemeinsam die Einzel-Choreografien für ihre Soli “I I I” zu erarbeiten.
Foto: Kampnagel

The photo above is from a theater production in Hamburg. Click through to read or translate the German text.

Below is a letter to the artists in the production and their response:

Letter from a concerned citizen named Love, an entertainer who lives/works in Hamburg, to the brains behind the show:

GREETINGS JENNY, Abendblatt, Kampnagel and other supporters of “III, It’s gonna Blow!”

My intention is to support good art. I am sure that is what you were all trained to represent. But unfortunately, as I saw the poster, and later read about “III, IT’S GONNA BLOW”, I could see nothing but your misunderstanding about what it means to “get into the skin of another culture”. Many of us (I have received many calls and e-mails) are shocked and saddened by your choice, to represent ANY culture the way that you have. The costumes show tasteless, debasing clichés of Africans, and takes Germany and the world back to the beginning of what creates problems through misinformation, caused by the lack of investigation into the rich cultures of our world. I am sure that a poster with Africans, representing Germans with arms raised, beer foamed drinking glasses, leather pants and wurst would first bring negative feelings to the viewer, even if the content of the show meant well. As performers, journalists etc., we must take responsibility and PRIDE in making new and UPLIFTING choices, and stop repeating the same DEGRADING ones.

My request is that you re-think YOUR intentions to bring “culture” to Hamburg and the world, and support only those quality efforts which are available right here in this beautiful city. A sure way to achieve true peace among the various cultures is to start with the TRUTH, RESPECT, and a REAL desire to “get into the skin of another”, through historical, artistic, cultural and personal research. Then, AND ONLY THEN, should we present those results on a worthy stage.

Thank you for your time.

Promoting peace and understanding,
Love

Here is their response:

Dear Love,
We are sorry, that our flyer offended you. However, if you read closely, you will see, that our piece has absolutly nothing to do with Africa. It deals with the tension bewteen collecive and solo. Three performer working together on soli, getting into the skin of another person not another culture. The costume for the flyer plays with the idea of carneval, alienation through disguise and other related themes. We therefore dealt a lot with a child-like understanding of costume and appearance. For a european eye, the used image is a clear reference to carneval, but we do understand that the American way of reading it would have references to ministrel shows and other forms of racial caricature which are much less prominent in the European mind.

We simply want to invite you to see the piece in order to understand, that this particular piece of art is in no way offending to any culture. Please accept our invitation, we would also offer you a free ticket.

Best wishes
Jenny

My friend Trina also in Germany sent Jenny a letter too:

Dear Jenny,

I have been following this issue from afar (i.e. the “Hochsauerland”) and have seen the Abendblatt article, Love Newkirk’s letter to you, as well as your response.
I must say I found your reaction disappointing in that it latches onto a singular apparent misinterpretation without (in my opinion) doing the larger context the justice it deserves.

“For a european eye” and “other forms of racial caricature which are much less prominent in the European mind.”

While the idea of the minstrel show may well be something most common in an America context, the imagery of blackface chosen for your show is not singular to that particular phenomenon – and by no means, therefore, less hurtful, demeaning or misleading. This imagery of black people has it’s parallels in other societies as well. I would only quickly mention the British/Australian “golliwog” , the “sambo” as well as – to bring the matter closer to home – many clearly racist depictions of black people used during the Nazi era right here in Germany. These images were circulated as yet another vehicle to more deeply penetrate National Socialist dogma by further dehumanizing people of African descent, as well as justifying the continued colonial subjugation of the African continent and its peoples. These are certainly images with which many older Germans (and anyone with insight into the era) are very familiar.

Most significant for me, however, is the seemingly total disregard for the opinions and feelings of the hundreds of thousands of people of African descent living in Germany today – some for only a number of years; others already for several generations – who must still deal on a day-to-day basis with everything from this type of “minor artistic misunderstanding” to the most heinous and flagrant types of racially induced oppression and violence. Personally, I find it extremely difficult to believe that – within the context of a decidedly rich and extensive carneval history throughout Germany – there was no other imagery that contained an equally – if not superior (!) – reference to just the type of “alienation through diguise” to which the artists aspired.

By choosing to trivialize the responses you are receiving from people of African descent – not from America, mind you, but right here in Germany – you are continuing a cycle that renders us without a voice and “invisible” within the greater societal context. Our real thoughts, genuine feelings, personal opinions – our collective HISTORY – don’t seem to matter in comparison to the “artistic agenda” of select members of the Eurocentric population.

Is that really your message?

I actually don’t think so, but – as the old saying goes – “actions speak louder than words”.

Sincerely,

Trina Roach

P.S. Maybe these tips I collected for an early “blog post – “Taking Advantage of A ‘Teachable Moment” – can be helpful?

* Immediately acknowledge criticism

* Take your critics and their criticism seriously

* Stop doing whatever is offensive. ASAP!

* Avoid the temptation to slip into “auto-defense” mode

* Seek honest dialogue with a representative group of your critics

* Apologize publicly. And in earnest

I wonder if Jenny will take Trina’s advice.

I ask: Why is this still an issue in 2010?

Undercover job hunters reveal huge race bias in Britain’s workplaces

black in Britain, discrimination in the UK

Civil servants created false identities to send CVs to hundreds of employers in sting to uncover discrimination.

Hat tip to Angela Shaw who sent me this article from the guardian.co.uk.

A government sting operation targeting hundreds of employers across Britain has uncovered widespread racial discrimination against workers with African and Asian names.

Researchers sent nearly 3,000 job applications under false identities in an attempt to discover if employers were discriminating against jobseekers with foreign names. Using names recognisably from three different communities – Nazia Mahmood, Mariam Namagembe and Alison Taylor – false identities were created with similar experience and qualifications. Every false applicant had British education and work histories.

They found that an applicant who appeared to be white would send nine applications before receiving a positive response of either an invitation to an interview or an encouraging telephone call. Minority candidates with the same qualifications and experience had to send 16 applications before receiving a similar response.
