Racism in the German context 5

I already heard white people say N**** to me in kindergarten
Don’t question the clichés, now knock down brothers
We demand more than equal rights, we want peace at last
Having new goals and not having the image of dealers
A motion is being discussed in the state parliament
And meanwhile, the next Nazi is planning his attack
The shameful deed is regretted, but I wonder:
“Why is there another black family at the grave?”

Brothers Keepers (2001): Adriano (Last Warning).

Brothers Keepers is an association of predominantly black musicians who have come together in response to the increasing racism in Germany to draw attention to the difficult, sometimes life-threatening situation of people with a history of migration, black people and people of color. The lyrics come from the song "Adriano (Letzte Warnung)", the part of the quote is rapped by Samy Deluxe and D-Flame.

In their song 'Adriano', the band Brothers Keepers, a group of mainly black musicians from Germany, sings about the murder of Alberto Adriano on June 5, 2000. Adriano Alberto, father of three children, was brutally beaten up by three Nazis and died of his injuries a few days later. With this song, Brothers Keepers also wanted to draw attention to the increasing racism, which was particularly noticeable after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Criticism was also directed towards politics, the lack of interest in racism and the people affected by racism. This song is also understood as a form of resistance and a statement by self-organized Black musicians who no longer want to accept racism in Germany.
