evrything is said about the black man nerly killed by some racists in potsdams street. There was a huge publicity. Demonstrations of the antiracist Germany. Just as something unusual happened. Other assaults appeared the next days. Good germans were appaled at what happens in the streets.
Yes, evrything you could critisize is critisize. The media is critisizing itself for not talking abut the issue constantly. every some years this happens. in the early 90`ies after the pogrom-like attacks at non-germans in rostock, hoyerswerda and moelln for example, 2001 after antisemitic an antisemitic bombing. The pattern are trained.
first: appalation. then the diskussion about the image. futher: the questioning of the racist/antisemitic background and the critisizm on that questioning. then evrybody is content. business as usual.
There is still no presence of the german reality in evry days public awareness. Who is talking about hoyerswerda in nower days. who is asking about the possibilities to live for a “foreigner” in the german society. And what could happen to make the problem be seen as itself and not to be treated as a PR crisis of the Deutschland AG.

Many say, its not a specific german pattern. but İ disagree. the new germany, founded in the act of “aufarbeitung” of the NS-History, needs the neonazi assaults and the demonstration of the other, the better, germany for self-identification like no other nation. and all the discussion between conservatives and liberals, schaeubles play-down and the success in forcing him to appologize, is just part of this game. İt are just different strategies in image engeneering.

But is this defaetism? is this point of you leading to anything? At least İ`m sure, that this game of germany is constantly saying to itself and the world: evrything is allright - this is dangerous. Nothing is allright. even if it would be possible to fight organized neonazis, nothing would be really allright. Maybe a more critical view from outside could help something, but İ fear germany is self confident enough to give a shit on that, even if they seem to worry about their image.

just one minute before

in this story and in this. Now İ have some pics:

some say, the police prevented clashes between roman and kurdish people in dolapdere. İ still can`t really beleive that. At least hier police is driving the protesters down to dolapdere. İt sounded to me like police propaganda, but since jungle-world reported, İ wonder, which sources they have.

.. is collected once a day in my street. people just throw it on the street, other, mostly sinti are collecting the paper, plastic, metall and so on - earning so maybe 5 or ten million a day, if they are not lucky and find somethimg valuable in the çöp. but about 3 o`clock in the night the big garbage-cat is coming. İ like watching it, because its a sign for ending the day and preparing the next morning.
The street is one-way, going from down to up. since some weeks ago, the garbage-car was going from doen to up, following the direction of the one-way-traffic. Now they changed. probably it`s easier for the driver, because the street is quite steep for going stop and go with the big truck. also for those, throwing the bags of rubbish in the car it might be easier this way.
İ just wait for the moment, that there is big chaos because cars are going up and blocking the street. but so far there was no bigger problem. it`s not so much traffic at this time anyway.

news about my life:

İ have a new keybord. That means İ can use ! now, and ( and ) and ^ and & - wow!!!!

İn some minutes İ will have a second cat. İf you know İskender, You will know, what it can mean.

H & M is opening a shop in turkey. now you can get the same stuff, you got at tezgah for 1/10 of the price.

should be enough for today …

Brandenburgs police is expacting a growing number of racist attacs during the male football world cup, as “there will be more auslaendische Mitbuerger” present”, a police spokeman said. see here.

some thought about this:

“Auslaendische Mitbuerger” - a strange pseudo-pc expression for foreigner, litterally translated about “foreign co-citizen”. Due to german citizenship law people of non-german origin are normally not german citizen even if born in germany. so they are “Mitbuerger”. To use this expression for those visiting the world cup ist really nonsense.
So, but even more strange is the statement, because it says, the reoson of racist attacs is the presence of foreigners. Not the racism. İf there weren`t any foreigners, there wouldn`t be any racist crimes, according to this logic. İ call this cynicism, but it`s probably not even true. if there is no “auslaender” a racist will find an other object.
