On January 20th I wrote a post under the title “Racism is a problem of communication” and other assorted white myths<\/a>. In the post, I mentioned the German town of\u00a0Hoyerswerda where, in 1991 a refugee center was set on fire by right wing racists who wanted to inflict as much harm as possible on the immigrants living at the center. In the post I mentioned that the town was opening a new center to receive, once again, immigrants. The local politicians framed the racism as “a problem of communication that made white people look bad”. Back then I wrote:<\/p>\n

\n

Two things worth noting here. On the one hand, \u201cracism as bringing shame to the country\u201d. Racism is not exposed because of its inherently violence towards People of Color or because of the long lasting consequences on the lives of PoC. Racism brings \u201cshame\u201d to white people. The affect of racism (as in, who is affected by it) is not on the victims but on how \u201cbadly\u201d it reflects on the white dominant culture. On the other hand, \u201cracism as a matter of feelings\u201d and \u201cracism as a result of bad communication\u201d. Rather than expose racism as part of a centuries old history behind white supremacy, racism becomes a problem of \u201cself expression\u201d, reduced to a few problematic individuals that cannot \u201cexpress themselves\u201d properly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Last week, a group of immigrants moved into the town. This happened<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

The destitute east German town of Hoyerswerda waited 23 years for a second chance to prove they were a welcoming place, after a mob chased foreign refugees and migrants in 1991. When that chance arrived this week, it took them about 36 hours to blow it.<\/p>\n

They got their chance Wednesday afternoon when 36 refugees, including 10 kids, from places including Syria, Pakistan and Morocco arrived at their brand new center. A Moroccan man was attacked Friday morning.<\/p>\n

A primary difference, of course, between the attacks in 1991 and Friday was that this was an isolated attack.[…]<\/p>\n

Friday’s attack took place while one of the newest residents of the city of 35,000 was standing on the ancient and very quaint city square. A resident riding by on a bicycle slapped him, then turned around and came back and hit him again, at least a couple times.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And again, the white tactics of deflection are deployed: an isolated incident, different from the previous one, etc etc. Rather than address the structure underlying these attacks and highlighting the brutal genealogy of racism that 23 years later is present like the previous time, we are offered apologia and minimization.<\/p>\n

Racism continues being a consequence of white supremacy, no matter how the dominant culture wants us to believe it’s just “isolated incidents” or “a few bad apples”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
