Afro Germany - Being black and German | DW Documentary

Black and German: news anchor Jana Pareigis has spent her entire life being asked about her skin color and afro hair. What is it like to be Black in Germany? What needs to change?
In our documentary "Afro Germany", Pareigis travels through Germany to speak with other black Germans, including rap and hip hop artists and pro footballers, , and find out what their experiences of racism in Germany have been. "Where are you from?" Afro-German journalist Jana Pareigis has heard that question since her early childhood. And she’s not alone. Black people have been living in Germany for around 400 years, and today there are an estimated one million Germans with dark skin. But they still get asked the often latently racist question, "Where are you from?" Jana Pareigis is familiar with the undercurrents of racism in the western world. When she was a child, the Afro-German TV presenter also thought her skin color was a disadvantage. "When I was young, I wanted to be white," she says. Pareigis takes us on a trip through Germany from its colonial past up to the present day, visiting other Black Germans to talk about their experiences. They include German rapper and hip hop artist Samy Deluxe, pro footballer Gerald Asamoah and Theodor Michael, who lived as a Black man in the Third Reich. They talk about what it’s like to be Black in Germany.

    Africans were brought to Mexico too, you know. That's part of the reason Mexicans are so racist against our people because part of their DNA is African and they are raised to be as light as possible. Also, slaves escaped to Mexico and settled in Northern Mexico, I believe and mixed with an Indigenous tribe. So, you never know. You could be dark because of either of those things. Ola bro! lol

    I get what you’re saying but straight hair is easier to manage. You see, black women have coarse, coily hair and it’s kinda frustrating, sometimes we just straighten our hair because it’s a lot easier than constantly rolling it up and putting different types of hair products on it.

My father-in-law father was in the US Army and during the 1960's many African American military families were encouraged to adopt mixed-race babies from Germany because there was so much racism they would be doomed to growing up in foster homes or in the orphanage.

The problem aren't "the Nazis" whatfuckingever that means, they never was, the problem are those masses of ignorants, that uniform themselves by their own wil and shout paroles, just because it is so "cool", "sweet", "smart" or whatever the blind follower, those was and will be always the problem.

    They discredit you to deny responsibility and to not think they need to improve these supposed racist outliers in a supposedly modern western society. The truth is the work has just started and these "outliers" reveal a true,dominant popular undercurrent of thought that has habituated as a culture. Because, distraction with insults allows for the folly of their history to not be put in the proper context from which caused white people to plunder and pillage the word for resources because of their mismanagement of their lands. It obliterates memory and thought to remind that they were thieves and the real low culture. To flip it ans say thr fact they could do such evil means they are better,, smarter,, have a true culture and anyone who is not from a barbarian conqueror nation is inferior. It does not remind ths racist thr historical origins of why racism was created, it was created to justify stealing resources because the racist person came from a land destroyed by disease, famine and war. If you have such a dereliction of responsibility that your nation has to steal the world then create narrative to justify the theft. That is some serious, cultural, social and mental defects. That is a very dangerous culture.

    i cried watching this. reminded of all the times i was called names and treated differently by teachers as a black child living in germany. i too got the question "if you are black, why is you dad white?" i was called poop up until 5th grade, because they said that my skin was the same color as poop. I eventually came to believe that i was poop. i straightened my hair and wore blue contacts, i begged my mom to let me dye my hair blonde, i would go online looking for ways to lighten my skin, i avoided the sun as if it would actually burn me. I hated school. I actually believed until i was like 9 years old or so, that i was the only black person in germany, besides my mom of course. It wasn't until long after we went back to brazil that i came to learn about black history and that i came to love my race and color.

    The Black peoples of this world have thousands of diverse ethnicities and nations each defined by their own unique histories. One cannot lump together all the histories of such diverse nations as Asanti (West Africa), Masai (East Africa), Ndebele (Southern Africa) and Jamaican (Caribbean) as "Black" history any more than the diverse histories of White nations such as Russian, German, Italian and Argentino can belong as a single entity called "White" history. The notion of categorising history as no more than "Black", "White" and "Asian" has its roots in racist generalisations on one hand and in neo-Marxist deconstructionism on the other.

    I lived in Berlin for four years of my life when I was a child and spoke fluent German. My experience as a black boy in Germany from 96' to 20' was free from racism. When I talk about Germany with people the first notion is that Germans are racist but that's not the case. There are Germans who really embrace foreigners. I lived in a Turkish neighbourhood and went to a European school where there were many nationalities. We all liked each other and actually admired our differences. Many of my friends wanted to be black like me and I wanted to be like them but as I got older, I came to love who God has created me to be. No matter the colour of our skin, we all bleed the same colour of blood. Horrible things were done in the past to black people but it's a choice to let what happened many years ago haunt you. We learn from the past and write our own future. I choose to write a future full of love to my neighbour irrespective of their skin colour.

    Butter Bread A monument is meant to elevate and honor someone. The statues can be placed in a historical museum. But if the person is not to be lauded, if the person perpetuated racism or slavery, then that person should not be celebrated in a "monument." A statue of that person can be placed in a historical place.

    Countlode : yeah we get it ..Unfortunately, throughout history a lot of evil has been done by people who felt "pride of being white" this specially affected nations where whites weren't even native to those places but rather descendents of immigrants..I'm referring specifically to the United States, Australia and South Africa..In these three nations so called "white people" did a lot of evil in the name of "white supremacy ".. Your comment is just absurd though you think you are being clever by "emulating " Reb3ljous S0ul's pride for being black ..However comparing your comment to his makes no sense ..I'm not black but I'm full aware of all the horrible things that black people have gone through history just because of the color of their skin..And as far as I'm concerned , blacks have never killed or abused tons of people just because they disliked their race ..When I hear about a black person expressing pride for his\her race i feel happiness..I feel happy that racists haven't been successful at destroying their self esteem ..Now when I hear of whites expressing pride for their whiteness i can't help but feel fear !! In the United States a few years ago , a white supremacist entered a black church and started shooting at the people ..several blacks died in such incident..Also, if I'm not mistaken, a white supremacist in New Zealand did something similar some months ago..Now I never ever hear of blacks, native Americans , East asians, brown Latin Americans etc killing people because of their skin color ..So it makes total sense to feel fear when a white person brags about being white .

    Thank you for making this documentary. I'm viewed as bi-racial even though I am predominately white. I was raised in a white, racist Republican family in Philadelphia. My family made racial slurs against people who looked like me. This was the 1950's and 1960's. My mother was from South Africa and I was not raised my her. She was raised white in SA but would have been considered colored, today. It was quite difficult growing up at that time. It was only when I came to accept my own uniqueness and beauty that I embraced how I looked. Do I still deal with racism? Oh yes, it's on-going in the US. For anyone to say anything different, they are lying. I walk tall and proud. Oh yes, I studied German for 5 years in middle, high school and college.

Not all Germans are racist, it depends on where you are or the kind of people you meet. Older people were more racist to me or kids whose parents influenced them. Other than that, i now live in a neighborhood where I don’t even feel different because no one treats me like that. Anyone should be Happy and treated with respect regardless of their race or anything else, as Long as they’re not hurting anyone.

    It's a shame most black men never stick around to share the responsibility

    This is not a European or White ppl problem only... it's a 'one' race problem... I'm mixed, I have dark skin, I live in the Caribbean and the majority of the population in my country are either of 'african' or 'indian' descent (most dark skinned as well) and I too faced prejudice from all sides... I wasn't black enough and my hair was too straight for one side and the other it was the opposite too dark my hair too curly...always asked "what race are you?" Always asked what I'm mixed with and yet never accepted or fit in with any ethnic group.

    I am black Canadian, my best friend of 17 years is Scottish and Chinese Jamaican, born here like me. She looks about as exotic as exotic gets. Nobody (besides close friends and family) know what she is. She is extremely beautiful, and she had the hardest time fitting in. She wasn't white enough for the white people, and wasn't Chinese enough for the Chinese people. So, as a black person and as the veritable sister of a person with white skin and an "ethnic" heritage, I understand what you are saying, deeply. You are not alone.

    if we take all genes from around the world and mix it would that be the perfect human? I wonder. Also let me tell you on thing. Europeans are far less racist then americans from my point. Not many blacks died when we fought between ourselves in europe.( Not in colonies). We just dont want to have the same problem as USA had or has.

    Lots of people have a similar ancestry in the Caribbean. I've met countless Indo-Afro Caribbeans in the military. People with similar make ups to Nikki Minaj, whose actual surname is Maraj

    I can’t help but to feel hurt for her, if you’re reading this and you are from Afro decent, you are a descendant of kings and Queens. By the way, she is so beautiful with a genuine heart .

    Listen Chantelle, you are whatever your father is or was. Example, if your Dad was Negro and your Mother was German, you are Negro with little German features. If your Dad was German and your Mother was Negro, you are German with little Negro features. Reply
