B. S. In the United States and our viewers all around the world welcome they have come a final time to say goodbye the funeral of george floyd the black man whose death in Police Custody ignited a global protest is taking place right now at the felton of praise church in Houston Texas. Friends and mourners of floyds family have been speaking strongly and eloquently about the man that they knew and loved we will go live to houston in just a moment but 1st lets hear what some of those friends and Family Members have been saying about a man named george. Now that we thank you for that liberation we thank you for the life of joy its oh i dont got that at a moment when he caught up for you mama we believe that mom and the crime that they sent that really. On the front of. My family. To get our lives out forever that you are our grandson was regularly while for me and upon this where ill pick up right now its come out that by. Nobody hate cross hes so i said make America Great again but when he has america ever been great. Those 4 officers were literally on him for not i mean and so they have a. This is not just murder a hate crime i believe my grandmother was right dear oh dear oh im sick come home baby you said if you it is fighting know what youre good at sky. If all black. Had done the one white. 4 that cops had done no one white. What was done their job was they would have to teach no new lessons they wouldnt have to get corporations to get money they would send them to jail and until we know the rights for black life is the same as the price for white life we dont keep coming back to be situations over and over again either the law will work on it wont work. As the reverend al sharpton there speaking at the funeral for george floyd w. s oliver sally joins me now she is there at where the funerals taking place in houston all over it has been a moving day for everyone who has been tuning in to specially for the people who have been there talk to be about what youve heard and seen today. Thats right brennan it has really been an emotional day and you just heard people speak here 500 guests came to the ceremony the closest Family Members of george floyd as well as friends politicians civil rights activists so it was a fairly big event with of course a sad atmosphere but at the same time George Floyds family wanted to make sure that today the life of george floyd would be celebrated and in the tradition of the africanamerican church that was done with lots of cheerful gospel music so there was a hopeful and positive aspect to this too as a lot of people also put their hopes in the death of george floyd that this would bring change to racial inequality in the United States and around the world and we heard strong speeches of a video message by joe biden the likely democratic candidate for the presidency a very empathic message and then also Congress People like al green and he said that now the next steps have to be taken to combating racism and racial inequality and brand i had the opportunity to speak to him earlier lets listen in. We need a reconciliation in this country in germany weve had reconciliation to a great extent you dont find recognizing hitler you dont feel that you and this country you feel her compared a rift that you thought well if we have a Reconciliation Department in the cabinet of the United States of america with affected tara reconciliation who reports directly to the president whose job it is to eliminate racism and invidious discrimination who report. For the congress on a fairly annual basis and can report how well hes doing his job what progress are we making there if what were going to need for the long run for that we can take care of the problem not only today but into different picture theres a strong words there coming from al green particular making a comparison with host nazi germany and the United States today with its host are trying to be poets jim crow post slavery future Oliver George floor he fits into this hes become an icon for people in the United States but also here in europe when they are calling for an interest since ive been into Police Brutality what do we know you though about the man that is being buried today. Well one former classmate called him a gentle giant and his Family Member simply referred to him as a as the big floyd thats how they called him and he was a tall guy an athlete in fact he played basketball and football grew up here in humble conditions in a in a poor neighborhood a stopper of southwestern used in the southwest an area here many people thousands that came on monday to bid farewell to george floyd in the public viewing said he could have been our neighbors still they see him as one of their own he is of course as someone that had his ups and downs in his life as many people do he did some college then later became a blue Collar Worker if you will truck driver later a Security Guard and his death then after having moved to minneapolis that caused this so many protests around the world is what many put their hopes in right now. Watching people with lots of hopes and one man who has lost his life w. s all over sal and joining us from Houston Texas over think. Where there have been ends. Racism germany has resulted in George Floyds coincidentally the federal Discrimination Agency in germany has just published its annual report it indicates that there is an ongoing racism problem here and whats more it says the problem is getting worse. Germany is slowly waking up to the discrimination but the number of cases is on the rise there were 3 tass and 580 reported cases of discrimination in 2019. Stuff you kind of should see this shouldnt be any gaps in protection in the long term and this is an important it is right to move on that salim is defense state to having passengers and to discrimination law because its a pity to talk and other status or should follow through shortly. To counter his latest report looks at this communication based on gender disability age religion Sexual Identity and worldview but the largest issue remains Racial Discrimination most of the cases in 201933 percent were classified as racist discrimination a ton and a 176. 00 reported cases last year more than double compared to 4 years ago in the report so in practice it penn cited their experiences. 2 colleagues from another department approached me laughing and asked me if i worked at the company to make coffee ham a Civil Engineer from syria. A kid at school insulted my brother because hes got dark skin then he hit him the teacher saw everything but did nothing. And not isolated cases. And many racism isnt really addressed as a very limited understanding of he explained its limited to Political Rights there is no understanding that systemic racism is present at all levels of society and it is debatable must take place because racism kills our institutions. The report comes at a time when a new Awareness Towards every day discrimination is raise following protests denouncing Police Violence to its people of color all over the world. Well is the death of georgia florida has people here talking and thinking people here in germany are reexamining their attitudes towards race as they did this month for the 1st time a nationwide survey will ask people about the discrimination that they say they have experienced you. Thats what i would backstrom is one of about a 1000000 black people in germany but nobody knows that for sure as there are no official figures is she grew up in leipzig is the daughter of Sudanese Exchange students after the fall of the berlin wall life in east germany in the ninetys was difficult for black people many of them felt left alone. When a right wing muck circles around us affair and theres a policeman standing around who just lets it happen as 15 people shout the n. Word at you memories like this often make you doubt whether you really welcome in this country. And thats why the organizations each one teach one and citizens of europe are conducting a survey the afro census the 1st one on black peoples lives in germany daniel general hopes it will fill the gaps. Fortunately there has been far too Little Research in recent decades on the situation of black people and black racism in germany thats what explains why politicians keep asking us whats the problem. They find it difficult to talk about so thats why weve decided to take matters into our own hands and walk in his endurance hopeful shes from france and works as a teacher in berlin shes upset at the lack of sensitivity even among some well meaning white people. My class and i prepared a song. The kids were super super motivated they were doing well and then they got stage fright the principal of the school. To the whole assembly and stated i just love black music dont you and your life through interesting but the real problem and the real question is like how can we say no more members. Because. The afeard census wants to facilitate precisely this discussion and to better catch every day racism in German Society but it also has another effect. Its also very empowering for those for plaque and i think thats great. Theres never been a like the afro census before germany is reluctant to collect statistics on citizens according to ethnic criteria. Script theres always a reluctance turnoff communities about the situation about whether they are discriminated against people are afraid that this kind of research will create these communities but we are here we are part of the society we want be to not the right to exist and we can all speak about black people African People calmly without being afraid of attention pushing one on stuff. Its hate it could be a step towards change. Well the death of george floyd has resonated in kenya where Police Brutality is not seen as a problem in america but rather as a problem at home since a night curfew was put in place as part of the Coronavirus Crisis there has been a spike in killings at police hands in kenya canyons independent policing authority says it is investigating 15 cases that have taken place since mid march u.

Successfully and has beijing to withdraw the controversial bill and on last november 85 percent of the seats in that district on so well by protocol critical this line of sight picture imply how silence across the stand with the state on a side a fellow protester but regardless of that success protests on this scale could soon be a thing of the past if paging gets its way with the new security bill dissenting voices could soon be much more few and far between.
