Fight against racism in Germany: The money continues to flow endlessly
Written by Bjorn Harms for Junge Freiheit.
According to the new federal government, the fight against racism in Germany should be stepped up and intensified. The goals are high. The three-party alliance of the SPD, the Greens and the FDP not only wants to “continue and develop the content of the action against right-wing extremism and racism”, but also “sustainably secure financially”, as it says in the new coalition agreement. Migrant organizations and left-wing NGOs can cheer. Your lobbying is bearing fruit. The already generous funding is likely to continue to increase in the future.

The SPD had already laid the foundation for this with its old coalition partner, the Union. First the parties took extensive advice from left-wing lobby organizations and migrant associations, then the Cabinet Committee on Right-Wing Extremism and Racism agreed last year on the proud funding amount of 1.15 billion euros by 2024. Its measures are now to be "adapted and further developed", promises the new three-party coalition.

The following organizations and scientists acted as advisors - the usual suspects.Dank Union und SPD werden bis 2024 mehr als 1,15 Milliarden Euro im Kampf gegen Rechts an vornehmlich linke und woke, „antirassistische“ Projekte fließen.

But that's not all: An official "anti-racism officer" should be here. Its ideological orientation is likely to be based on the thinking of Michaela Moua, who recently took office and who performs the same function for the EU. Moua does not see Europe as a liberal achievement, but as a power structure under the sign of “White Supremacy”. Every white person is thus caught up in a structural racism per se.
“Structural racism” cannot be proven
And just like with the CDU / CSU, one asks the FDP: Have the liberals even understood that the concept of racism has changed completely in recent years? One or the other connoisseur of the subject may already be sucked by it, but it cannot be repeated often enough: With the conventional European-universalistic approach, according to which racism always means the individual degradation of a person based on his skin color, the current definition no longer has anything to do.
Instead, the term is now embedded in a supposedly structural problem of a white majority society. The Federal Agency for Civic Education speaks of a “pattern of discrimination and expression of social power relations”.
But of course, “structural racism” can never be empirically proven, as migration researcher Sandra Kostner also found in the NZZ. Rather, any inequality in areas such as education or work success can be summarized under it. This opens the door to the homicide argument “racism”. At least the FDP has long submitted to the anti-racist language.

Profiteers can look forward to millions
Would you like an example? Grammatically the term “black people” would be correct, but the coalition agreement speaks of “Black People”. In the “woke” world, this capitalization serves to “make marginalized groups visible”. We can really be grateful to conservative voters who voted for the FDP to prevent it from sliding to the left.
The coalition agreement also provides for continued intensive funding of the DeZIM Institute, the most important body in German research on racism and migration. There they are of course enthusiastic about the coalition plans: "We are pleased that the new federal government wants to permanently strengthen the German Center for Integration and Migration Research and stabilize the racism monitor," the institute announced on Thursday. "The trust placed in us is a great incentive for us."
So the money is still flowing here in abundance, and there is no end in sight. The research center currently receives around ten million euros annually from the Federal Family Ministry alone - and the trend is rising. At the end of 2020, the DeZIM Institute already had 103 employees, 56 of them from the scientific field. The majority of them studied at the Social Science Faculty of the Humboldt University or did their doctorate - arguably the most important cadre forge for left-wing activists in Germany.

Lucrative complaints of ubiquitous racism
So it's no wonder that the institute's research results all point in the same direction. One is always reminded of how racist the German majority society is. It is determined a priori how the individual should think about the issue of migration: “Immigration and diversity are an integral part of pluralistic democracy,” it says on the website. Whereby, of course, diversity does not mean the diversity of ideas and social conceptions, but a population in which everyone shares the same progressive utopias and only has different histories of origin.
In July 2020, the German Bundestag commissioned the DeZIM Institute to set up a National Discrimination and Racism Monitor (NaDiRa). "The aim of the racism monitor is to record racist attitudes and racist behavior and to make them visible, as well as to work out structures and modes of action," is the description of the task. The racism monitor is also explicitly mentioned again in the coalition agreement. It should appear next year.
The results should already be clear to everyone. In a comprehensive study that will meet with sufficient media coverage, the researchers will tell us: “We live in a structurally racist society!” Because the head of the Racism Monitor sees it that way too.

You feel unassailable
Cihan Sinanoğlu is a staunch anti-fascist. Until recently, the graduate social economist worked as a public relations officer for the Turkish community in Germany. He is openly flaunting his ideology on Twitter, although some of his tweets have already been deleted. “Antifa in the Kiez protects more than the police,” he wrote on June 19, 2020. On June 28, he called on: “Support your local Antifa groups.” As he made clear, racism was “not a question of a few Nazis and the AfD, but is deeply anchored in the middle of society ”.
Sinanoğlu's public statements show: You feel safe and unassailable. No wonder: The anti-racist ideologues are firmly in the saddle and actively determine the course of politics. The new federal government will also continue to generously fuel the restructuring of society that it is aiming for with sufficient funding.
