the what impact willing is because change doesn't happen on its own who's make up your mind. w. 4 mind i will probably gone by. when i got off the bus, they yelled and 10 gays and one. i said, all right guys, and then i got a couple of girls on like a dog and i grabbed the oh, it starts with the jury. you reach your goal,

but the one uniform you can take just the one you were born. the black man, the black man is always the 2nd choice. let us perform better than the oldest to perform better. to get to do more than the other players in the way. how can a black guy for jimmy the when i got off the bus, they yelled, hang games, who and one. i burn. yeah. i go to school here. but 1st of all, i'm leg 3 to be like, live in germany. you'd be confronted. oh, i

the germany. when people hear the word, what do they think? known per cars? later hose in brought worst and beer. when it comes to sports, 1936, the lympics comes to mind. invented, feel blonde and blue eyes, germans and then we think of german boxers, tennis players in race, car drivers, all of whom have made their mark, football wise. we think of guys like these winning the world cup 4 times. when we're talking about germans. the automatically think that germans means to be white, for instance rights given from, from my talking has been talking about germans. we think it was, of course the lights and business of obviously is not the case. but as this

business discussing with the government, still walking the streets of berlin or frankfort, you could think you're in london or parents. and some black germans have gone abroad to gain recognition in popular culture. half of merely been nearly was german. they didn't really sing though, did they? but another black german be member number also in films in tv and in sports like the india football is the main draw in germany today. the national team looks like this or among germany's new generation. israel lubbock because it was a big moment for me. dream comes true or to play for the national team,

and i hope i will play more games. but if we move back a few generations, we see a completely different picture. ah, this was west. germany's 1st world cup winning team in 1954. and this was there was a winning team in 1974. they were only called meyer and mueller. they also look like in germany's domestic league, one football or didn't look like the rest. but when i was alone, i was really along alone. unlike the black players, they take to the field for the german teams day. evan costa, born shortly after world war 2, in munster, was one of the very few guy. there were 3 mixed children.

so 3 children, black guy, 3, nothing more. the 1st black kid, he was an old boy and had to go to the cemetery and then looked on the way back from the funeral, a truck around him. he was dead. so when the phone had left him a phone code, that was the 1st one. second, i was the 3rd, the 2nd he drowned and unlike me during his childhood costs and it was on the receiving in the racist insults on a daily basis. and the father on the open streets when i was about 12 my look at the and that was here in months. i didn't look at my look how dirty years and then i thought and how they got it can't be they can't be that you allow this kind of told us to let

me cost it the son of a german mother and an african american father. he never me, wasn't the only target back in those post world war 2 days. race makes. it wasn't welcome or was also important. why does my mother have to suffer so much? because she got the most racist. yes she did. from the i don't want to repeat here what i've heard of that here. all the things that i've said to my mother, when i'm with enough through the storm cost, it found football and develop a neck boring goal. playing for several blended clubs. he became a prolific striker, but the hatred father was probably gone, but when i got off the bus,

they yelled and tang gays, and one i said, all right guys, and then i got a couple of girls on the funny. it's called the abuse fuel costs victory over frank, whose fans came up with a disgusting change. in 1974, he scored the goal of the year in the league. in that same year, evan caused it became the 1st ever black footballer to represent germany. that i played for germany, it's all as a black man with a sensation. all eyes were on adding cost it up to the also represented an idea of race relations. in west germany had improved, the west was progressing. i knew i was, i gave interviews and the coach helmet. sure. and told me what i should say. this

is not running germany. there are no races. that's not true. i said there are many races in germany and then the coach was angry with me. you must call not close to design my mom. and unlike today where black and white players were childhood, friends like says good non bring in your actual cambridge circumstances were different in cost of his remotely. well, not everyone like me. i could tell me, but then you don't get the ball as much as a center forward. you have to get the ball act. i could tell that some of them were already right. and sometimes when i went to the showers, they would look at me and say, what's that black guy doing an art team that cost at a score? 98 goals in the bonus league. and was also a score in belgium and france. but he only made 3 international appearances.

my plate for a long time, but in germany i could have made more out of editing mail. also with all the people i played within myself, helped me back when i couldn't show my football skills cost and i felt pressure to perform allan smith's mother and i had to do everything that's in my neighbor. my teammate, who is white, was allison. and if i did something wrong, everything was 2 or 3 times is bad. nowadays, after retiring from football doors have opened up for some black germans. but for cost of the things took a turn for the worse or is it just to system cost it it was wrongly accused of an armed robbery in 1990 nearest home town of mister me. he spent 6 months in jail.

there were no witnesses. german law required there to be at least 6 people in the police lineup, but cost and it was the only $1.00. he suffered a mental breakdown. so i'd say that 80 percent of germans are not racist. 20 percent of bad people in his reputation and family were never the same. someone, my wife never got over it. as compensation, germany gave him the equivalent of about 1500 euros. asked for accosted it being the only one in the police line up. they said they couldn't find any more black men in the area despite there being several african students at the local university. on a side note, the famous musician miles davis performed in minister in 1990. maybe he did it,

but it wasn't all bad. and then 1900 ninety's though, there was some positive change. the youth began to embrace black culture, hip hop, the black suddenly seemed to have become a color in germany, but it was always there. people just didn't see me in the late 18 hundreds, germany had their share in the big colonial game. germany controlled multiple african colonies into the 20th century. migrating into their colonial power. a permanent black presence in germany began to emerge before the 1st world war. but

life was difficult. biracial children recalled rhineland bastards in the 1900 twenty's speaking peoples imagined fears of an emperor race. up until the 30 black germans were displayed in human zoos. companies have used races, imagery, hyperlink, get home sterile and new up would be good to so cool. i did meet the move and the the word nigger was widely used in advertising. it used to be considered a neutral turn around the same time. evan cost and i made his debut in 1974 for west germany. jimmy hot became the 2nd black german to suit up for west germany in 1979. but he only managed to appearances more than 2 decades would pass before germany was field, another black player in african born player at gerald as

a molar. the 1st black german to play in a world had a different childhood experienced in cost of the decades earlier. the more quickly found acceptance through performing the accepted remo, when there was a band from dyna who had to i think close at the school and they guys go for it and going down with them. so i just went for in front of his bent and dazzled them. so this was like, i went now, i got new my name and in the school from josephine baker in the 1920 to roberta blanco in the 1970s. historically, blacks have entertained the masses in germany, the perform with his feet as a mower, made history, becoming the 1st african born player to play for germany, making the decision to represent either his native gun or germany didn't come easy

. i remember decided to pay for jimmy. it's not easy for me because like i think i've, i've before and i had some difficulties. i use some wisdom teeth who came about me and so i was afraid not to be accepted if i should, to pay for germany, i was afraid maybe how will you, why given you never be lighter than me? so i made up of what i said to me. however, as a more score on his debut and went on to play at the 20022006 world cups. i did have a story about my and fast wake up. my 1st wake up in japan, korea, and i was to to an event for it before the game and then there was a photograph. i think they can,

can i didn't guy who passed by the what are you do you as a pair you a gym and if i can believe it was like what's going on but people didn't believe it . how can a black guy for germany, some germans didn't embrace the new look germany. when the world cup came in the summer of 2006 extreme right wing groups distributed flyers, posters and stickers, which read know gerald. you are not germany. at the start of his international career, as a more even had to convince some of his teammates he belonged. i think it's like i was supposed to them you, you can do something better than him. then they said it was sent to you. and i think because my face is going to go and do where i saw ok, this guy can help us who i saw i saw so like, no, i'm in a team by the beginning was not easy to just come and say, okay. and if you know you need to,

with gerald amolla was not the only target in 2006 german nie jerry and player patrick was attacked in a far right propaganda white. more than just the color of a jersey for a real national team. back in the blend is leader after germany's home, 2006 world cup. more with the victim of racist abuse and a cut match. fans made mucky noises when ever he touched the ball. ah, me lasting longer than the blackfoot while there's before him. more wrecked up over 40 cats, scored 6 goals with germany. and his success had a trickle down effect. and this was good to waste and i never took over that happy

for it to open and also off for the kids or i think it's i remember when i came back, i said it's everywhere. i went up like a things for doing this. now i my mind workplace as a more has become a beloved figure since his playing days. always wearing a smile. yes, my language to so you never know what's truly behind. so what happens when you take the non smiling approach? the way jerome boy chang did. he never played the performer. he just played his football. stoic in cool, self confidence brought him to the attention of german politician, alexander gower. the boa tank took it a step further than as a mower, becoming the 1st black football or so when

a world cut with germany. he's the most recognizable black athlete in the country with countless endorsements. but even bullets say, is not immune to the backlash. the bean black me racist comments by the deputy chief of the right wing alternative for germany party, a newspaper claims, alexander goldman and said germans thought he was a good football, but didn't want him as a neighbor. i'm interested. i got him as a racist. there's a question and doesn't always, it's quite sad that things like this happen, but you can't change it. i hope things get better. they have been a lot of good response. unfortunately, me, you have to pay them. okay. now accept me because they put me in a team and then comes, you know, the spectrum choice is do. i don't want to hear that but, but you still get back person on government claims. he was only describing other

people's attitudes and wasn't making a personal comment. the problematic thing is that, you know, in a way was right, because many germans don't one half back people as a neighbor, especially when it comes not only to neighbors, but when it comes to black, black men, once a married have i thought that clinton following the gal and fiasco coach yogi love name bullet tang the captain for a germany match, making that another historic achievement. ah, though a tang has used his platform to fight against such attitudes that still exist in the country. he achieved the ultimate prize in international football. 40 years after the cost of the day for west germany, the germany's 1st flag player never thought the national team would have so much diversity with the likes of ruder re sign

a n re la box arising star who made his debut for the german national team. in november 2020 because it was a big moment for me. it's comes through to play for the national team. germany. i burn. yeah, i grew up. i have a lot of friends here and it was my dream to play for them. i never thought it could be this way, and i was in the lay of a different today. these, they have all the self confidence that they need to be the that sleigh as my brothers and sisters, and they have more self confidence than i could ever have imagined. so that's what's wrong in the 1st cause. but buck, who feels the same pressure to out do his white teammate, it's cost and it is clear you have to perform better than the others. you have to perform better. you have to have to do more than the other players in the way

players. and if you not do this it's, it's very hot as a black guy to get to be respected for the others. that same feeling in the back who has today about having to be better as a black footballer, cost of the has 50 years earlier. i'm try them. if you fail you the worst person in the world, especially as a black person. when i'm really 6 with, you know, whatever anyone says, and it may be different today how it was costing to live in a different germany. but given how diverse germany has become, why does buck who feel the same pressure today? in 2020 ryan sets in new york, not a german, but a black british player, cher it's a vial, a racist abuse. he received on line following

a blunder. among other things, the half and loan, he was called a slave. he said the disgusting task. don't even surprise him any more. here to berlin, st. george inter reagan said he was racially abused by shock of fans during a german tut match in 2020 minutes. jude bellingham was a victim during the 2021, but initially season it's not only at the senior level. in december 2019 bernice league club had to berlin's under 16 team, walked off the pitch during the game. after several of their players said they were racially abused by their opponents. next me for i see this if i listen to to the class that this happened to me, this never happened. my football career right now. but believable. the pressure of the current class of black footballers to be perfect starts burly

me since i'm young kid, i know it's, it's not easy for for black young guy. germany's latest addition to the legacy. the cost of this started is byron munich, starlette jamal. most jala, early in 2021, he declared he'd play for germany. instead of england. there's a multitude of black football, these hellen that's become a constant presence on germany's national teen and others are on the way on some, here's the thing. it will always be the case. you're in germany, maybe even in the whole low or for like the like man, this is always about the 2nd choice in the by the value there have been countless racial attacks in countless campaigns. in response,

in 2020 player showed support for black lives matter. targeted players have condemned the hatred and continue to do so. but even in f c buyer, the countries most successful club coach racially abused a player in the youth academy in 2020 help arrived in the form of stars like thomas mueller and the actual chemist. speaking out to combat the problem, i think everybody at the stage together and the fight against this racism in football and in the normal social life, the sport has the power to to bring the people together to speak with one with a one time over a 1000000 people of african heritage live in germany today for the 1st time ever in

2020, many african and afro d. as for people, shared their life stories and experiences. that same year, germany had a racial awakening. following the murder of african american, george floyd by a police officer, i was punished. how many people went flex anyway? and it was definitely, it's been flex ends in the last most that change. awesome. despite the optics, germany is far from it to me by god. moment of racial harmony have been made up to the office. let me get the although there has been some progress

the sometimes i ask myself why they go create different skin colors, white, black and so on? well, why did god do that? all the news. the news news . the

news, the news, the news, the nice list treasures stolen for more zone, wonder deleted for the international art market. collectors, extremely valuable pieces from the middle east, which scratched top sizes at european houses in immoral business that still the coffers appearance factions. blood treasures in 15 minutes on d, w. k. call the wait
