The subject of heated since the violent death of George Floyd (d. 46) in Minneapolis (USA) in the minds of more and more “Black Lives Matter”protests take place around the Globe. On Friday evening it was discussed in the “Arena” on the topic of racism. The Motto of the discussion show “Now to talk Black”. But in the front series of discussions, three of the four protagonists are white, on joined already before the programme, many sour.
In the discussion will not be debated at the beginning of the topic of racism, but on the composition of the consignment. With national councillor Andrea Geissbühler (43) and Gabriella Binkert (59), Val Müstair, two SVP-Expo are ducks that pushes Juso-member Angela Addo sour. “You have to tell me the truth,” she says, directed at Moderator Sandro Brotz (50). The co-organizer of the Swiss “Black Lives Matter”rallies feels as a Black person in the minority and would have thought about it twice, even on the mission.
comedian Kiko (35) jumps Brotz to the side. “This is so not fair. There were, of course, invited a lot of Black, and you have canceled.” Addo replied: “If you already have the Motto, “Now is the Black talk”, then you should be here.” Many Blacks came about because of the compilation, so Addo, with a view to the SVPler. As national councillor Geissbühler, the collar bursts. Their party was accused of racism and therefore excluded. “I don’t know a single SVPler that is racist”, makes it clear.
Also SP-national councillor Samira Marti (26) is the compilation of a concern. “Here in front of three white people without any racist experiences.” James Foley, the representative of the US Republican in Switzerland, is invited to compete in the second row. However, the Trump remains a Fan, and defended in the end of the episode its US President.
“people are just confused”
several Times the shipment is at a crossroads. So, for example, as SP-Marti to keep in mind is that you could cancel the shipment “also”. She is frustrated because your discussion partner in Switzerland, can make no Problem of racism. Also, comedian Kiko white against the end of not more more. “I think to myself, what has brought this show, and if we run out of here. People are just confused.”
Moderator Brotz tried it from the beginning, to calm his guests. You will alter the compilation in the history of the show, he promises. In fact, In the last 15 minutes, the dark-skinned Addo and Binkert may come to the front, Geissbühler and Marti need to take in the second-row seat. But the journey on the programme.
“It was a real Shit-show”
On Social Media, the “Arena way to get” your fat. Artist and activist Brandy Butler (40), which had expressed prior to shipment is critical, writes on Twitter: “Rarely in my life have I seen such a biased, unbalanced, offensive Panel in the national public television. It was a real Shit-show. Maybe this show has thrown back the Black actually. I am more than disappointed by the SRF, that you have brought forward the controversy of the actual discussion.”
another user writes: “Sorry, Mr Sandro Brotz, I had to cancel the shipment. One of the few times, for me the topic was interesting. The white, right facing the guests went to me something in the bag.” Or: “the longer the programme, the more catastrophic and the summary was racism was almost!”
Butler had a pure black Panel desired
Prior to the broadcast on Friday evening posted activist Butler on your Instagram profile a picture with the inscription “We do not support the current Arena.” To VIEW you clarified your statement: “The Panel does not fit to the title of the show. Among the four main participants, three white people, one of them is SVP national councillor, one is a Republican and has chosen Trump. The only Black in the round is a comedian.”
in the discussion of “the Club” last Tuesday evening Butler have seen what happens when Blacks are in discussions about racism in the minority. “You had to constantly defend their experiences with racism. No one knows better what it’s like to be black than Black itself.”
For the Friday night you could have wished for in a pure black discussion panel of the SRF, particularly with regard to the title of the show. “Also, there are different opinions. It is not so, as there was no discussion of the spectrum.” Therefore, they had failed to comply with the invitation to the show – as well as many well-Known of her. “The people I know, have no desire to discuss with the SVP on their fundamental rights. There is no question that racism exists is Yes. Rather, it should be discussed, what can you do about it.”
of the Same opinion, left activist Anna rose water (30). “If the programme with this title is touted, I expect another round of discussions,” she says. “We need to listen to black people and a platform to understand what they experience on a daily basis,” she says. “Finally, we don’t set the White, which is racist. Just as no Heterosexual can judge what is homophobic and what is not.”
Sandro Brotz sees no Problem
The heated discussion Arena”-Moderator Sandro Brotz on Twitter says, “simply, “In the consignment of three Black people are invited. Add to switch to Manuel Akanji and another Black. It is not so, that 3 of the 4 invited guests are white. As a Moderator I can guarantee for a fair debate.” In the aftermath of the broadcast, he reports again to the word: “people, I say, but Thank you for the wealth of Feedback.”
