Krasser incident opened eyes

Als ich mit dem KidsClub in der Schule in dem kleinen Dorf Abowinum fertig war, kaufte ich mir am Straßenrand ein Wasser, unterhielt mich mit der Verkäuferin, die auch Voluntärin bei HFFG ist und stellte mich an die Straße und wartete auf ein Verkehrsmittel nach Ajumako.
Aus 200 Meter Entfernung kam ein Mann in meine Richtung gelaufen. Er lief alleine und hat laut auf Fante gesprochen, das ich nicht verstand, aber merkte, dass es an mich gerichtet war. Er kam immer näher auf mich zu, war sehr aggressiv und nicht normal (hatte also Alkohol oder sonstige Drogen konsumiert). Sein Ziel bestand is to swear at me and probably hurting too. Of the latter he was held to happiness. The
a volunteer has quickly realized the situation and persuaded wildly at the man. In the time I was called by another man from Abowinum to themselves and put a knife to ward next to me. Then the man moved on, the situation was over and I pumped with adrenaline from despair, intimidation and gratitude for the moral courage.

this negative incident, but this hard experience has opened my eyes to the kindness of the people of Ghana. I am a European in Africa, as a German in Ghana, as white among blacks, I'm - as you would like to say in Germany - and still I am a foreigner everywhere treated kindly, and preferably in part.
And after nearly six months I get to the first time in such a situation. I think as Black (r) in Germany they have a harder material.

Today I can about the racist article I wrote on the blog a few months ago, some laugh. At that time I have classified the Obroni cries of racism. What a nonsense! Behind the word Obroni hides anything negative, especially when small children call me so that's really tiring, but perfectly fine.
It is probably important for an unpleasant / Black e / r, if he or she is a small town is where it would collect the often negative views of its surroundings. Exactly this is racism, not the Obronirufen in Ghana.
In Germany, one misses in many places and here the moral courage GhanaerInnen stand beside me and protect me. I was very impressed.

In such a situation I have fallen yet. I can move around freely, need not be afraid. Since I am sometimes even at night in my hometown Gedern uncertain in some corners.

And then we put down together and say precocious: We in Germany are better than the people of Ghana. Such an idea may be an evil. There is so much was wir von den GhanaerInnen lernen können und wo wir unterentwickelt sind.
Wir könnten ja einfach anfangen, jeder rassistischen Anspielung, sei es auch nur einem Witz, etwas entgegen zu setzen. Das wäre ein Anfang, dass Immigranten, vor allem People of Color, nicht mehr ständig Opfer von Rassismus wären. Vielleicht brauchen sie dann auch irgendwann keine Angst mehr zu haben, nachts auf Nazis zu treffen.
