Germany’s first African-born MP to stand down after racist abuse
The first African-born MP to enter the German parliament has announced he will not be standing in next year’s federal election, weeks after he revealed the hate mail, including racist slurs and death threats, he and his staff had received.
Karamba Diaby, 62, who entered the Bundestag in 2013 in a moment hailed as historic by equality campaigners, said he wanted to spend more time with his family and to make room for younger politicians.
Diaby said the racist slurs and death threats were “not the main reasons” for his decision, having frequently emphasised he would not be cowed by threats. But they are widely believed they have played a part.
He has increasingly faced racist abuse in recent years. His constituency office in Halle, Saxony Anhalt, has been an arson target, and has had bullets fired through the window. Some staff have faced blackmail attempts to stop them working for him and have been subjected to and threats, Diaby said.
Come November, the US is going to have a Pro-NATO, anti-nazi leader....or the exact opposite. That is what I was referring to. Your nonsequiter comment doesn't merit engagement.
You're either quite optimistic or a trumpist trying to be smart. Either way, doesn't matter of Trump or Biden win, neither will end US terrorism. That's my point. But if Trump win, the decline of the US will accelerate.
Your point of the US doing bad shit is not relevant to the topic, just you pointing something out. The point was either "the US, that does bad shit, will either be on the good guy side or the bad guy side of the next nazi-war" the non-vatiavle of "the US also does bad shit" is not relevant. If you want to dive into that completely separate topic...one side will further entrench "US does bad shit" and the other side will maintain the status quo on "US doing bad shit" AND be the option that still allows for potential change...and also fights against the nazis.
Pick your poison.
Well the US being proto-nazis for over a hundred sounds quite relevant to "please wait until we're not on the nazi side", but you feel free to keep ignoring US terrorism. Have a nice day.
