lyrics

Oury Yalloh Ermordet Von Deutschen Polizisten

Sie Schaffen eine Taskforce
Das Ziel klar definiert
Die Anwohner haben Angst
Die Deutschen haben Angst
Wir Deutschen haben Angst
Mal wieder völlig ohne Grund

Menschenjagd auf offener Straße
Dadurch soll ich mich sicherer fühlen
ihr tauscht Dealer gegen Schläger
Opfer gegen Täter

Und wenn sie dann ihre Ruhe hätten
Wäre das denn wirklich genug?
Wäre uns das Wirklich genug?

- Linernotes -

This song deals with the simply unbearable situation that is going on in Hamburg for years know: The Harassment of POC mainly around Hafenstraße and Schanzenviertel for the sake of ending the drug dealing around there. This is executed by declaring whole areas of St Pauli as a variation of ‚Gefahrengebiet‘, which allows cops there to raid any persons (what they actually do is only target POCs) in this area and which leads to POC being harassed by police there on a daily basis.
We don‘t see this actions as a working tool against drug dealing there, we don‘t see drug dealing as a main problem in this area ( for example I dont change side when I see drug selling people standing there, but I do with nearly every fucking group of drunk party tourists), we strongly see that these actions are driven by racial hatred and the demands of a small minority moving there who demands the place to be more safe for them. As we all are white we also can‘t escape from being part of the problem, as we can safely move these areas without being harrassed by the police and non white people can‘t. I literally have been running around the area for years with amounts of weed in my pocket for which POC without a legal status here have been arrested for over half a year, while I could be sure, that even if I get caught with it (which is not going to happen, because they only raid non white persons) I don‘t have to bear more consequences than my weed being taken away from me. How can this not be called a racist priviledge I have?
The title is chosen because it is in two ways related to the situation there. First Oury Jalloh is another victim of racist police violence just like the people there. Second the quoted phrase (Oury Jalloh murdered by german cops) is the topic of a feud between left wing/antiracist activists and the hamburg police who steals banners quoting that phrase and even seems to be running around Sternschanze and rip of stickers with that phrase. We stand by these words.and demand murderous police to leave our quarters and leave everyone there alone, and not just make it safer for the needs of middlecalass white people (like us) moving there.
We also don‘t think it would be in anyway enough to just leave the people alone there. Not harrassing them anymore would be only a first step, people need perspectives and the right to work and live here. This demand is nothing we will discuss about!
