Confronting racism face-to-face

Confronting racism face-to-face | Herstory | Scoop.it
From www.bbc.co.uk - May 13, 2014 4:40 PM

Mo Asumang is the daughter of a black Ghanaian father and a white German mother.


As a well-known TV presenter in Germany she became the target of racist extreme right-wingers and neo-Nazis, who based their attacks on Asumang's "non-Aryan" background.


So she decided to look into the racist ideology and to find out more about those who consider themselves "Aryan".


In her new documentary, The Aryans, she confronts racists, both in Germany and among the Ku Klux Klan in America.


Mo Asumang spoke to BBC News about her experiences making the film.

Racism In Vintage Films: It’s Not A Simple Black & White Matter - Here's Looking Like You, Kid

Racism In Vintage Films: It’s Not A Simple Black & White Matter - Here's Looking Like You, Kid | Herstory | Scoop.it
From heres-looking-like-you-kid.com - March 19, 2012 5:24 PM

"Along with struggling with how to balance presenting the issues of racism in films of the past, of not wanting to let the known facts of past ruin a film for potential viewers, I struggle with being a white woman discussing it. It’s one thing for me to point out gender issues (I am one, and can honestly react as one), but when it comes to racism I flounder.

 

It’s not simply a matter of white guilt, or of defensiveness, or even of committing a sin of omission that a person of color can call me out on; it’s about how to honestly portray my horror without co-opting the issue, of committing some sin of insensitivity… If that makes sense. (I bet that does make sense to at least a few other white folks though.)"

An opinionated woman obsessed with objects, entertained by ephemera, intrigued by researching, fascinated by culture & addicted to writing. The wind says my name; doesn't put an @ in front of it, so maybe you don't notice. http://www.kitsch-slapped.com
