One day on one of my walking tours, an anglo man, was very angry with me, because I said something about Elon Musk. I explained to the guest how something Musk said was wrong, and I even explained to him how that man Musk is making my life dangerous here. I explained to this man, how Elon Musk emboldens the right wing. I told him how my life had even been threatened at the very intersection we were standing at, and he said “so what” he clearly did not care about what B.I.P.O.C. suffer. I could see racism did not affect him, so he could care less. He even left without paying and even wrote my company trying to get me fired. What also troubled me, was that man sounded Israeli. He had the same accent as many Israeli tourists I have had in the past. I would have thought he would be against any nazi or neo nazi movements, but I guess I was wrong.
History Is Not Even History
In Nazi Germany they passed out writings from another big rich car guy named Henry Ford, and they would show them to the kids in school and the kids would read them and say, “wow, if the successful businessman thinks this way about these people, then what our teachers are saying must be true.”
What Will Tomorrow Bring
I think about kids today, kids that do not read. Kids that watch videos and at times aren’t sure if what they are seeing is real. How will these kids respond to a man (possibly the world’s first trillionaire), putting these racist ideas in their heads today?
Maybe we should boycott them,Trump, Musk and any other nazi saluting white supremacists, who because they inherited their daddy’s money (a social construct) they think they can control the monopoly board of life, and invest and stick their dirty hands in anything they wish.
The so-called President (an accused of rapist) is the only person to serve office with a felony on his criminal record. The 47th president is also responsible for the deaths of at least five people during the January 6th 2021 Putsch on the U.S. Capital Building.
This president has now also pardoned those people involved in the coup, further emboldening other traitors to commit future crimes against government and showing that it will be permissible as long as he “their leader” gave the order.
Maybe we should build a organization for the groups that Trump targets, we should fight to strengthen the countries that the immigrants come from, cut ties with anything that comes from Trump and his associates. Maybe we should empower the Caribbean, and the Americas to break with the I.M.F. and rid themselves of U.S. predatory loans, and military bases. We should lift the embargo on Cuba, and help nuestros hermanos.
If the United States treats BIPOC like the way Donald Trump speaks of them, then we need to flip the script on him. He is the criminal, he is the rapist, he is the one that needs a mental evaluation (doesn’t seem competent to hold office) and the same applies to his nazi saluting financial backer/brains of the operation obsessed with V2 rockets or whatever he calls them nowadays. Personally, I have already quit his X or swastika or whatever he calls it now a days. I will never buy one of his products and will push others to think the same. This is class warfare!
I have lived in Germany for over ten years now, and I can honestly say I have never seen so much racism in my whole life, and that is saying something because I come from the so-called United States of America (a settler-colonial project of land theft and genocide) that somehow forgot to teach the kids the origins of that land and rarely discusses the original inhabitants.
I wanted to start this project to help people, but to be honest, I have grown very discouraged. I feel that some people do not want to change, and never will. They will always believe they are smarter or better than others, and their arrogance is something that infuriates me. Why should I waste my energy on them? I have better things to do with my time. These people clearly do not want the world to change since it works in their favor. They do not care about the physical and psychological damage their evil system of racism distributes against BIPOC people.
They don’t see the tears of the children because their parents get into heated exchanges with racist people trying to pick fights with them or insulting them on the street (knowing full well that their hands are tied.) I have come to feel that, this must be the German way of attack. They see you are at work and again have your hands tied, and that is when they choose to strike, push you or even threaten your life and insult you. I have come to the opinion that many of these people truly have no shame about their dirty history and their dirty present because if they did they surely would not continue to act this way. Maybe they should ask themselves, “Why are so many Germans living all over the world?” Where was your Xenophobia then? And what of the crimes committed by those German Settlers around the world?
I should have known it since the moment I first visited back in 2006 and they treated me like crap and me and an Asian-American woman were the only ones who were pulled to the side and reprimanded in a foreign language and had to listen to some scumbag voice his opinions about us angrily.
Why is it that so very few Germans in the western sector were castigated for the Holocaust? A very select few were punished for the evil that killed an estimated 11million people of which over 1.5 million were children. Why is that? Could it be because if they dug deep enough, they would find out the roles played by Robber Barons, so-called respectable organizations, and major corporations? Could it be that companies were “Too big to fail” in the midst of a Cold War, and therefore Germany needed to be helped back on its feet?
In regards to the Holocaust, I constantly hear people ask, “how could this happen in such a civilized society?” It seems people that ask this question are not aware or don’t bother to take into account the crimes committed in the German colonies of Cameroon, Togo, Deutsch Somoa, Tsingtao, German Southeast Africa, German Southwest Africa, among others. In German Southwest Africa (modern-day Namibia) alone one would read about how between 1904-1908 there was a genocide committed against the Herrero and Nama peoples. Also, you will come across information on how anti-miscegenation laws, already existed there. If you study further you would learn about how Germans transported people on cattle trains and had concentration camps in their German South African colony, the concept was not new to them, and they also had what is believed to have been the first extermination camp on Shark Island.
Another detail worth noting is the fact that German Universities and anthropologists, people like Eugen Fischer were already demanding skulls, and even whole human heads with the skin left intact as if some sort of trophy or something that they could display to others stating how different (meaning superior) they were to these people of darker complexion.
They Need to Teach Us More
I have read where Herman Goering at the Nuremberg Trials asked the French, the English, and the Americans “Who are you to try us?” I found this so interesting, and agree that those countries should tell the world their histories as well. These countries have all committed genocides and have all stolen land, and have all helped maintain white supremacy all over the world.
After learning about the pseudo-science Eugenics and having learned how Adolf Hitler was greatly influenced by people like Madison Grant among others, and after further inquiring about the international eugenic conventions and the horribly racist eugenic ideas taught in universities, that most likely played a role in the worldwide pigmentocracies we see today, I feel that those racists that funded that movement should also be blamed and more attention should be paid to that subject as well.
I continue to do homework on I.G. Farben and I truly feel that their role should be taught more in detail when discussing the Holocaust. I mean how can they not teach you about the conglomerate that was the biggest chemical company in the history of the world at that moment in time, and what role they played in rearmament, experimentation on human subjects, funding, slave labor? What was their relationship to Zyklon B (the prussic acid used in the gas chambers)? What was their relationship to Auschwitz? Who was American I.G. the U.S. subsidiary company that was taken over by the U.S. government for “Trading with the enemy” in 1941?
Why is it Happening Again?
People keep asking how can the world (Germany included) be tilting to the right? Well, there are a lot of reasons. For one the disparity between the rich and the poor just continues to increase. People that are struggling to pay the bills and put food on the table are in dire straights and they are frustrated. Many people believe that fascism is a revolution from the top down, and I would agree. Multi-national corporations are out to make a profit and do not wish to curtail their behavior. If our food loses nutrients so what. If neo-liberal policies are gonna hurt us all with the austerity and the privatization, they are getting ready for a backlash from us, they know the unrest is coming, and so in their minds they feel, they need to divide us, and if that doesn’t work then prison and the surveillance state is the backup plan.
They are planning for civil disobedience, they are planning for the climate refugees, war refugees, and economic refugees. We are all at risk, but they must separate us and turn our anger against other victims of the same madness, and the right-wing will serve as their buffer zone, they will be fed more scraps and will be used as the muscle to keep the others in check. That is their plan. They make wars to kill BIPOC people and to sell their weapons. The corporations will not change course. They will stick to their plan.
Europe and its colonizers in the Anglosphere went out and exploited the resources and labor of people in the Americas, Asia, and Africa. Then they have the nerve to not teach the real history and omit the whole thing. The hypocritical west has fooled the world into believing they are the model of civilization has continued on rewarding the dictators and their cronies, that crush all hope of fair distribution of the wealth and resources of countries worldwide. And the same hypocrite west after causing the problems and the poverty in those same countries in the global south, still have time to make wars on those countries and then militarize their borders and add the extra financial incentive of For-Profit Immigration Detention.
Tell me again why is it that the Spanish language is spoken in twenty different countries? What role did Spain play in those countries? Were there any reparations or even apologies for the theft, genocide, and rape? How are people from Latino America treated in Spain today? As a member of N.A.T.O., what role have they played in helping create refugees? What role have their financial institutions and corporations played in creating poverty? And tell me again, just why do Ceuta and Melilla belong to Spain? (The same criticisms can be made about many European countries and their offshoots in the Anglosphere and their historical behavior).
Ask a person suffering fromRacial Trauma or Racial Battle Fatigue just how “multiculti (multicultural)” they feel this racist German country is. I can see why many of them saw an appeal in Donald Trump, I really can, since his first state of the union address was on the 30th of January, which is the same date Hitler came to power, and so people with right-wing persuasions worldwide flocked to his corner.

I have experienced racism my whole life, and I hate it. I wish we lived in a world where we saw each other as equals, I really do. But after years of watching how the right-wing has been rising worldwide, and after watching how these overtly racist politicians fuel the flames of racism so that they can benefit from it politically, it all really sickens me. I don’t believe that these opportunists politicians know, or care about the damage they cause with their tactics. It seems like they could care less about how their hatred emboldens other white supremacists who then terrorize people of color who are forced to live with the abuse, the threats, and the violence.
These racist politicians do not care about the mental health issues, the anxieties, the depression, or the stress related health issues, high blood pressure problems they help provoke. They do not care about most people, but they clearly do not care about the well being of people of color who are forced to live their lives, just taking in the abuse condoned by these same racist politicians.
Catch 22
People of color have the choice they can either fight back or ignore the abuse. One reason people think twice before fighting back is that there is always the threat of jail, and so if they do not want to end up going to jail with the possible added risk of losing their jobs and not being able to pay their rents, and even more seriously complicating their lives.
These same people usually out of fear for further consequences usually choose to walk away, and ignore racists and their hurtful words and actions. These victimized people usually end up swallowing this anger. They must find alternative ways to deal with all the anger and all the injustice. They more or less are simply expected to live with this “Institutionalized Racism” that seems invisible, or all too normal to others, who are comfortable and not affected.
Oppressed groups are even critized for how they choose to protest injustice. When police shoot African-Americans they are only adding to the continued genocide that started over 400 years ago; and African-Americans wishing for the terror at the hands of the police to stop, are critized by insensitive and racist people for not “Staying in their place,” as if they are supposed to forever bow down to white supremacy.
Racist politicians and their loyal followers seem to wish for these oppressed people to just shut up and live with it, and they wish them to stop bringing up the past, because Euro-Americans especially hate being reminded of the true manner in which their country came to be. The U.S. for example, is not a land made up of immigrants, it is a country build on genocide, stolen land, theft, slavery, exploitation plain and simple, and this can apply to many countries in the so-called Anglosphere and other former european colonies.
Racist politicians do not care about the young men being incarcerated for long periods of their lives, so that they do not reproduce, because after all that is their main eugenic objective, that and feeding the Prison Industrial Complex.
Fueling the Flames
Racist politicians will help blame marginalized populations for all of societies ills, when in reality these marginalized people are the same people whose countries have been torn apart and exploited by the countries with the stronger economies that the poor are now fleeing to.
But the citizens of these european countries, and their colonial offshoots are blind to this fact, and would rather just worry about their own frustrations or short comings and blame all that is wrong in their lives on people of color or minority groups.
Instead of doing some research and finding out why the world is the way it is, and how it all works, and who this system serves and instead of tackling real issues affecting us all as a human species e.g. climate change. The oligarchs, politicians and the media continue to turn us on each other. It keeps the game going and makes things easier for them.
