#Mohrenkopf

[unfug-bilder]

Obwohl Adolf Hitler eigentlich Österreicher* war, waren die ab 1933 benannten Adolf-Hitler-Straßen ja auch kein Rassismus.

(*) Das änderte sich erst 1932

Markus Frohnmaier hält politisch inkorrekteste Rede des Jahres!

PI schreibt: »Nur weil man ein Zigeunerschnitzel im Restaurant bestellt, beim Bäcker einen Mohrenkopf kauft oder über einen Blondinenwitz lacht, bedeutet das nicht, dass man etwas gegen diese Teile der Bevölkerung hat. Linke Identitätspolitik hat das ausdrückliche Ziel, die deutsche Gesellschaft in Gruppen einzuteilen, zu spalten und gegeneinander aufzubringen, sagte der AfD-Abgeordnete Markus Frohnmaier am Freitag in […] http://dlvr.it/T0Fyc8 «

>>> Lieber @ThierryBurkart

Geschätzter Herr Kollege

Ich weiss nicht, wie es Ihnen geht, wenn Sie solche Bilder sehen.

Einst war @BarackObama "Editor of the Harvard Law Review".

Jetzt ist es ein gewisser Ibrahim Bharmal, der hier einen jüdischen Studenten tätlich angreift und beschimpft.

Nach meinem Anwaltspatent träumte ich von einem Postgraduate Master-Studium in den Vereinigten Staaten und natürlich von @Harvard .

Heute bin ich froh, dass ich mein LL.M.-Studium an der @UZH_ch absolviert habe.

Der ideologische Hintergrund dieser Entwicklungen an den bekanntesten und besten Universitäten der Welt hat sehr wesentlich mit den postmodernen Ideologien zu tun, die auch an unseren Universitäten als "Wissenschaft" unterrichtet werden.

Diese Dogmen beeinflussen nicht nur einzelne Fächer, sondern praktisch alle wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen. Es geht dabei vor allem um den Einfluss von Postcolonial Theory, Critical Race Theory und Queer Theory, die untereinander zusammenhängen, auf die Fächer, auf die Hochschulpolitik und vor allem auch auf die Studenten und damit auf die künftigen Generationen.

Diese Entwicklungen sind sehr besorgniserregend, ja sogar besorgniserregender als das Problem des #Islamismus im Westen, wobei dieses letztere Problem auch sehr wesentlich mit diesen Ideologien etwas zu tun hat.

Die Schweiz ist von diesen Ideologien ebenfalls stark betroffen. Praktisch das gesamte Kulturangebot der Stadt Zürich folgt diesen ideologischen Dogmen auch die Bildungspolitik. Dass Alfred Escher in der jüngsten Zeit immer wieder beschimpft wurde, dass Schulbücher geschrieben werden, die ihn herabsetzen, dass gewisse Leute sich an denkmalgeschützten Altstadthäusern vergreifen wollen, weil darauf das völlig harmlose Wort "Mohrenkopf" steht, ist ebenfalls ein solches Beispiel, wie auch die Cultural Appropriation Vorfälle der vergangenen Jahre, über die wir vor allem gelacht haben, obwohl die Situation alles andere als lustig ist.

Die Ideologien der postmodernen Linken sind auf einen Kulturkampf ausgerichtet und bezwecken die Dekonstruktion des Westens und der westlichen Kultur. Sie richten gegen unsere freiheitliche Gesellschafts- und Rechtsordnung, die wir haben und sind damit antiliberal und antidemokratisch bis in die Knochen. Nicht zuletzt deswegen stand #Wokeness zuoberst auf meiner Sorgenliste bei den Eidgenössischen Wahlen.

Unsere Partei, die @FDP_Liberalen hat es teilweise nicht einfach beim Wahlvolk, weil wir von den Menschen mehr Eigenverantwortung und Leistung verlangen und ihnen anders als andere Parteien keine endlosen staatlichen Zuwendungen versprechen. Das Volk verlangt aber auch eine Reaktion auf gesellschaftspolitische Entwicklungen. Wokeness ist eine solche gesellschaftspolitische Entwicklung, weshalb unsere Partei eine Antwort auf diese Dinge haben muss.

Meines Erachtens ist es angezeigt, dass wir unsere Volksrechte aktivieren, um diesen Ideologien den Garaus zu machen. Bildung ist zwar eine kantonale Kompetenz. Man kann allerdings nicht hoffen, dass im Kanton Zürich, im Besonderen in der Stadt Zürich, etwas gegen diese Entwicklungen unternommen wird. Das Phänomen ist ausserdem schweizweit festzustellen, weshalb es eine bundesrechtliche Vorgabe braucht.

Für eine Mitarbeit stehe ich gerne zur Verfügung.

Mit liberalem Gruss

Żeleźniak jest to niemiecka odmiana deserowych jabłek zimowych pochodząca z Bawarii, która tam była już znana i rozpowszechniona około 1600 roku. Niegdyś była szeroko rozpowszechniona na terenie całej Europy. W Polsce była uprawiana od początku XVIII wieku. Jednak jej świetność przypada na XIX wiek, gdy ta odmiana jabłoni była jedną z częściej sadzonych w polskich sadach. Jeszcze przed wojna dość…

Schweinshaxn, Riesenrad und jede Menge Bier: heute eröffnet das größte Volksfest der Welt. Für die Feierwütigen bedeutet das zwei Wochen Dauerparty, Trachtenwahnsinn und Bier. Für die Einheimischen bedeutet es zwei Wochen Dauerstau rund ums Festgelände, Trachtenwahnsinn und vom Bier Betrunkene aus aller Herren Länder. Zentrales Thema ist also Bier.

I'm certain the Schokokuss reference was used by Rammstein also due to its controversial history. The first chocolate kisses of this type were produced in France in the late 19th century and were called tête de nègre (literally translated as: 'head' of a n-word). When the pastry was introduced to Germany in the early 20th century, the name was almost literally translated as Mohrenkopf. Presumably due to the filling with meringue at the time (French meringue → means kiss), N-word-kuss also established itself at the same time. Because the N-word is obviously perceived as discriminatory and derogatory, and because there are a large number of Schokokuss manufacturers who try to differentiate their products from one another, the term is no longer used by manufacturers today.

Hi, yes indeed, it can't be coincidence they used this particular pastry/cookie, and it seems to have had a similar name in various languages. I know in dutch there have been several more cases over the last years where sweets or pastries with a discrimatory name have been renamed, occassionally to chagrin of folks who stated that it was just a harmless name, nothing bad was meant by it and "that it always had that name, so why the need to change it noe". I think it's exactly that apathy of, even when you're aware, not doing anything about, that is intended in that last scene in 'Angst'. (See also this post earlier)

Not about sweets as such, but imo an interesting read is this article about everyday words and phrases that have racist connotations in this case in the english language (obviously the issue is not limited to english, but as english is the language i type here on Tumblr, i thought i'd share this version), i bet it has some examples not everybody might have thought about before 🍀

[laguera25]

Hm your last anon made me think. It for sure was a reference since it has been recent news here in Germany and Switzerland (I live in Switzerland). In 2020 people started getting upset and called "Mohrenköpfe" racist. (Mohrenkopf is an alternate name for that candy that translates to Head of a brown person). Schokokuss, Schokoschaum and ao forth are less problematic. A huge debate started whether "Mohren" was truly a racist word or not. People wanted the producer of the brand to change the name, called for the product to be pulled from stores etc. The producer defended himself. Was a huge deal here tbh. It would make sense with the topic tackled in the Angst mv actually.

More thoughts on "Angst".

Auszüge aus diesem Artikel

Petition hier unterschreiben (wurde im Artikel NICHT verlinkt)

Durch eine kurze Recherche fand ich heraus, dass es 2013 sogar schon den Aufruf gab, den Ort umzubenennen, aber das ist wohl im Sande verlaufen. Aber vielleicht tut sich jetzt wenigstens etwas bezüglich des Wappens. 

English summary and explanation:

There’s a german town called Möhringen, it uses a stereotypical and racist depiction of a black woman on its coat of arms. Its origin isn’t supposed to be racist, the colonial term “Möhrin” was used as a phonetic reference to the town name. But the term “Mohr” is considered racist today.

Someone started a petition to change it. They put a work group in place beforehand, but nothing has happened yet.

Food for thought by the OP: The food “Mohrenköpfchen/Mohrenkopf” still is a cause for discussion, since many Germans still think it’s fine to say and defend its usage, instead of using the new term “Schaumkuss”.

Q&A Highlights

Ok so bad news first: My questions were ignored. Cornelia did not clarify any of our death-related theories. Maybe next time.

There was A Lot of other stuff, though so... Enjoy!

- The stream starts with everyone wishing us a happy women’s day! Usually women in Erfurt (where the bookstore people are) get flowers but not today because... you know. Cornelia says America is starting to go back to normal, meanwhile Germany... :| Anyway. Don’t look over here.

- Cornelia says she probably won’t get the vaccine anytime soon because she’s just chilling on her farm anyway and people who have to be out in public/are vulnerable should get it first

- Question: When will Cornelia visit Germany again? In response to this, she gives us some exclusive news, not official yet, heard it here first: She’s gonna move to Italy! Apparently she bought an olive farm there which is cheaper, better for the environment (her current farm will be sold to some people who want to turn it into an organic farm) and obviously closer to Germany so she’ll be here more often. :)

- The 4th Reckless book will be released in English at some point this autumn

- There’s no definite release date for TCoR because she’s busy with Dragonrider but she hopes she’ll have finished writing it by the end of this year

- If she’s still alive after all that to work on Reckless 5, it’ll be the last book of the series... probably. She’s also working on a bunch of smaller projects with her artists in residence

- Question: What are Cornelia’s favorite stories by Jane Austen, the Brontë sister and Shakespeare? She’s not a huge fan of Austen or Brontë because she finds all those repressed emotions too exhausting to read about. With Shakespeare on the other hand she struggles to name a favorite because there’s so much greatness to choose from (she does name MacBeth and Romeo and Juliet though)

- The Black Prince’s legacy in the Reckless timeline may play a role in the next Reckless book or it might evolve into a whole other story. Either way, she’s thinking about it  👀

- Someone asks about Reckless characters and Cornelia says that Kami’en and the Dark Fairy felt very familiar to her from the start in that she always knew who they were as people. She’s not sure why that is. She thinks the Dark Fairy represents many aspects of womanhood, like the ancient forgotten Goddess. Same with Fox, who embodies different sides of that.

- If Cornelia had to date a man from the Mirrorworld, Kami’en would interest her

- Rainer Strecker randomly joins the chat to say hi and everyone is delighted

- Cornelia’s favorite book series is still Lord of the Rings

- Question: Why has the Black Prince never found his true love? Cornelia says she’s not sure that’s true - maybe he did found true love at some point and then lost it again? ‘...and they lived happily ever after’ isn’t a guaranteed outcome after all. Since he’s such a passionate man, she’s pretty sure he’s had at least one big lovestory at this point. She hasn’t asked him about that yet but hopes she’ll find out when she continues writing his story.

- Jumping off that question, Cornelia says she respects her characters’ privacy and lets them keep their secrets until the time comes to ask about them, just as she would with real people.

- Someone asks if Cornelia has ever written herself into a story and she says a part of her is in all her characters. Except the villains because she hates them. She feels closest to Fox because she also always wished she could shapeshift

- The bookstore lady jumps in and asks about Meggie, is she similar to how Cornelia was as a child? Cornelia says yes, especially because she also had a very close relationship with her father and they would bond over books. However, she always envisioned Meggie with dark hair and as a different kind of girl than she was. (Ok sidenote from me on that, I wonder what she means by ‘dark hair’? Because Meggie is explicitly blond, so like... dark blond? Or did we just unlock brunette Meggie in 2021? Cornelia-)

- Continuing the conversation, Cornelia says she doesn’t consider herself the creator of any of the characters in her stories, she feels like she met them and wrote about him but she would never say something like ‘I invented Dustfinger’ because that’s absurd. How would that even work. That’s disrespectful. No.

- Some characters pretty much demand to be written about and are very impatient (like Jacob), others are more shy and elusive and take effort to understand (like Will or Dustfinger)

- There probably won’t be another book like The Labyrinth of the Faun because it was created under such unbelievable circumstances. Cornelia does enjoy writing film scripts, though, like she did for the Wild Chicks recently

- Question: How does Cornelia come up with character names? She has a bunch of encyclopedias and when she knows where a story takes place she checks if there are any artists from there whose names she can steal. She always wants names to have meaning and to paint a picture of whatever character it belongs to. However, she says that sometimes the vibe of a name is a tricky thing: When she wrote The Thief Lord (which takes place in Italy), she thought ‘Mosca’ was the perfect name for a big strong boy. However when the time came to translate the story into Italian, the Italians told her that ‘Mosca’ sounds like the name of a tiny little fly. Oh well.

- Cornelia says a lot of readers have written to her about The Thief Lord because at one point Victor (the detective) calls Mosca (who is black) a “Mohrenkopf”. Context: ‘Mohrenkopf’ is a German slur towards black people and also an outdated name for this goddamn marshmallow cookie:

Fuck this cookie.

- Cornelia says yeah, Victor is being racist in that moment but that doesn’t mean that she, the author, is racist. Similarly, she used the term ‘Indians’ in Reckless and a lot of readers were upset which she did not anticipate. To her it’s a positive word since she admires ‘Indians’ so deeply and finds terms like ‘Native/Indigenous Americans’ very complicated. She wonders how much longer she’ll be allowed to say ‘Black Prince’

- She thinks it’s right to be vigilant about bigotry but simply searching for problematic words is dangerous because context matters

- Bookstore lady brings up Pippi Longstocking and how the N-word has been removed from modern copies (think Pippi’s father). She think’s it’s wrong because the original text is part of the cultural heritage and shouldn’t be hidden from children but instead explained. 

- Cornelia says that in America she sees the hurt that’s connected to that word but she doesn’t think it’s right to simply remove the slur and expect everything to be fine. After all, the text in which it was used is still the same so any harmful ideas would still be in there and that needs to be discussed. Simply whitewashing things doesn’t make them any less racist.

- Cornelia brings up a visual example: The Asterix comics. She always liked them but the fact that the only black character is drawn as a racist caricature is harmful and wrong. It’s time to listen when black people express how hurtful depictions like that can be. Many white people never noticed racism growing up because it never affected them and that’s why it’s important to learn

- The ‘from rags to riches’ American dream was usually reserved for white people and Cornelia thinks a lot of (white) people are waking up to that fact. The way black people are still being criminalized and the way prisons use inmates for cheap labor is horrible and like a modern kind of slavery

- The bookstore people try to say something but Cornelia is not done: We Europeans are not off the hook either because the sins and wounds of colonialism are still felt around the world, not to mention the way other countries are still exploited today. Our wealth rests on the shoulders of poorer nations. Many doors are opening and it’s difficult to step through but we have to do it and admit to the things we may have been blind to due to privilege.

- The three of them agree on that and go back to reading questions

- Question: What are Cornelia’s tips for young authors? She advises to never start writing a story on a computer, always get a notebook and collect ideas & pictures for your story. Don’t rush things. If you have more than one story, give each story its own book and feed whichever one is hungry. It’s important to follow the idea where it leads, if you use cliches your readers will recognize them. And then it just takes time and passion. And trust in your own unique voice. She paraphrases a quote by Robert Louis Stevenson who once said no one cares about stories or characters or whatever, people read books to see the world through the goggles the author puts on them. I’m sure he said it prettier, I’m paraphrasing the paraphrase.

- That said, Cornelia thinks authors who say things like “I’m writing to express my innermost turbulences” are kinda dumb. She thinks it’s important to write about the things that happen everywhere else and around yourself and to try to find voices for others, not just yourself. Just like how carpenters build furniture for everyone else, a writer should use words to build things for others, whether it’s a window or door or a hiding place.

- Speaking of notebooks, as most of us probably know Cornelia has a lot of those and occasionally publishes them on her website. She says she’d love to let people look through them in person, maybe at the new farm in Germany (Cornelia sure does love farms)

- Speaking of writing things on paper, all three of them stress that everyone should write more letters because one day they’ll be old letters and curious people will want to read them, just as we like to read old documents now.

- Last question: How come both the Inkworld and the Mirrorworld feature a character called Bastard? Cornelia thinks that’s a good question and she should probably think about that. (Am I stupid? Are they talking about Basta? I’m confused)

...And with that, the livestream ends. They’ll get back together to do this again two months from now, until then: I’m going tf to sleep

Just had a 40 minute argument with my parents about why we should stop saying „Mohrenkopf“ and rest assured - they will not be changing their mind anytime soon
