Rassismus-Vorwurf gegen Bayern-Trainer:Viele Fragen sind noch offen

Der FC Bayern löst den Vertrag mit einem Jugendtrainer auf, der Spieler rassistisch beleidigt haben soll. Damit ist der Sachverhalt aber längst nicht abgeschlossen. Während der FC Bayern in Lissabon am historischen Erfolg arbeitet, das Finalturnier der Champions League zu gewinnen, könnte die Gemütslage daheim kaum gegensätzlicher sein – jedenfalls im Nachwuchsleistungszentrum des Rekordmeisters, dem sogenannten Campus. Die “zugrundeliegenden Sachverhalte” des Eklats um Rassismusvorwürfe würden “weiter untersucht”, so stand es in einer kurzen Mitteilung des Klubs am Montagabend. Diese Untersuchungen dürften umfangreich sein. Im ersten Satz der nur drei Sätze langen Erklärung stand das, was schon seit Tagen erwartet worden war: Der FC Bayern und ein Jugendtrainer, namentlich nicht genannt, “haben ihr Arbeitsverhältnis einvernehmlich aufgelöst”. (…) Doch die Trennung als erste kommunizierte Konsequenz beantwortet noch so gut wie keine Fragen zum Sachverhalt. Sie sei “das erste Ergebnis einer derzeit stattfindenden internen Untersuchung am Campus des FC Bayern München”, teilt der Klub mit. Die protokollierten Chats fanden im Jahr 2018 statt, in einer Whatsapp-Gruppe mit wechselnder Besetzung und Größe, in der sich Übungsleiter und Scouts austauschten. Zu den ungeklärten Fragen gehört, ob die Campus-Leitung oder gar die Vereinsführung über die massiv rassistischen und homophoben Bemerkungen informiert wurden. In den Chats, auf einem inzwischen gesperrten Twitter-Account veröffentlicht, ist nicht zu sehen, dass sich jemand an der Ausdrucksweise störte. Es heißt, der Sprachgebrauch des Trainers sei hinlänglich bekannt gewesen. Und lange vor der Veröffentlichung der Chats lagen dem Verein drei anonyme Beschwerdebriefe über den Trainer vor.

Prozess gegen Sven Liebich – Rechtsextremer Netzaktivist wegen Volksverhetzung vor Gericht

In einem Blog soll Sven Liebich gegen Migranten gehetzt und Politiker verleumdet haben. Nun muss er sich vor Gericht verantworten – und bestreitet zum Prozessauftakt jegliche Schuld. Ihm wird Volksverhetzung, Verleumdung, Beleidigung, üble Nachrede und die Beschimpfung von Religionsgesellschaften und Weltanschauungsvereinigungen vorgeworfen: Zum Prozessauftakt vor dem Amtsgericht Halle hat der bekannte Rechtsextremist Sven Liebich alle gegen ihn erhobenen Vorwürfe zurückgewiesen. Er sei kein Volksverhetzer, sagte Liebich. Er gilt laut der Nachrichtenagentur dpa als einer der führenden Köpfe der rechtsextremen Szene in Deutschland. Laut Anklage soll der 49-Jährige unter anderem auf einem Internet-Blog seit 2016 gegen Migranten gehetzt und über seinen Online-Shop Aufkleber angeboten haben. Er habe Menschen wegen ihrer ethnischen Herkunft böswillig verächtlich machen, dunkelhäutige Menschen und Migranten pauschal als gewalttätige Sexualstraftäter darstellen und verunglimpfen wollen, sagte Oberstaatsanwalt Ulf Lenzner. (…) Liebich war laut dpa bereits Ende Januar von einem Gericht in Frankfurt am Main zu einer Strafe von 10.000 Euro verurteilt worden, weil er in einem Facebook-Eintrag behauptet hatte, die Politikerin Künast habe Pädosexualität gebilligt, wenn diese gewaltfrei sei. Dies habe die Politikerin so jedoch nicht gesagt, urteilten die Richter. Im Verfassungsschutzbericht des Landes Sachsen-Anhalt wird Liebich namentlich genannt. Er wird seit Jahren als rechtsextrem eingestuft.

Anti-fascists warn of new antisemitic group with neo-Nazi adherents

Hope Not Hate raises alarm over Patriotic Alternative, which was created by a former BNP activist who described the Holocaust as the ‘alleged extermination of six million Jews’. Anti-fascist campaigners in the UK have warned of a virulent new far-right group that spreads Holocaust denial in its efforts to push a white nationalist agenda. Researchers at Hope Not Hate (HNH) reported this week on the threat from Patriotic Alternative (PA), an antisemitic group with neo-Nazi adherents created in 2019 by Mark Collett, the former head of publicity for the British National Party. HNH researcher Simon Murdoch said: “Collett is a longstanding antisemite who has spoken sympathetically of Nazi Germany, described the Holocaust as the ‘alleged extermination of six million Jews’, and has regularly collaborated with David Duke, a former leader in the Ku Klux Klan.” PA is described in the report as “a racist far-right organisation with antisemitism at its very core” which aims to combat what it says is the “replacement and displacement” of white Britons by people who “have no right to these lands”. (…) Several members were unabashed about their Holocaust denial in group messages, the HNH report detailed. One wrote: “Public Service Announcement: A factoid is a claim that is widely accepted as fact through repetition but isn’t necessarily (and often isn’t) true, such as the Holocaust.” Another described the Holocaust as “the single most overhyped event in history,” adding: “The West has been blinded since 1945 by the Holocaust story but this is wearing off.” Yet another said: “We’re finding out that more and more Holocaust survivors… Survived. Almost like as if the Holocaust never happened…”

White supremacist gets knocked out after racist rant against black people on London Underground – #antifaisthandarbeit

A video shared on social media documents the tirade by the man before one of the passengers knocked him out with a single punch. “Lesser than us” and “you are my pets” are a few fragments from the rant of an unnamed man on the Central Line train directed towards a group of black men on Saturday, August 15. The white man’s rant lasted for several minutes during which other passengers can be heard condemning his verbal tirade. He continued to rile up the group of men until they were seen getting off the train. However, just before the three men deboarded, one of them punched the racist man in the face, knocking him to the floor. The other passengers can be heard cheering when the man is apparently knocked unconscious. (…) A person recording the incident and another passenger tried to intervene but the man continued his racist rant. During the video, he can be heard telling the men that they are his “pets.” The actions of the man were clearly to instigate the group of passengers. He kept gesturing at them to attack him. When he is told that he is being recorded and the video will go on the internet, he seems pleased with it. He states that his video will break the internet. As the train pulled into Bank station, the three men were seen getting up to deboard. The racist man is seen squaring up to them with a clenched fist. Finally, one of the three black men punched him straight in the face, knocking him to the floor. Passengers can be heard cheering as the men get off.

Even TikTok has a white supremacy problem

Nazis and white supremacists have been using TikTok to spread hate speech and recruit followers, the Anti-Defamation League said in a report Thursday. Extremists have used hashtags, captions and in some cases even manipulated video to spread their message, the ADL said. It found “dozens” of accounts on TikTok that “use combinations of white supremacist symbols, terms and slogans as screen names or handles.” While TikTok has been called “the last sunny corner of the Internet,” the ADL’s findings are a reminder that the short-form video app, like its rivals, is also grappling with hateful content. Facebook has been subject to an ongoing advertiser boycott over its handling of hate speech and misinformation, while services like Google-owned YouTube have sometimes struggled to follow through on their commitments. (…) TikTok confirmed the ADL partnership on Thursday, and said much of the content flagged by the ADL has already been removed. The company said it has removed hundreds of thousands of videos and more than 1,000 accounts this year for violating its hate speech policies. “For all the progress we’ve made improving our policies and protections, hate evolves and takes many forms which is why we’re grateful to work with organizations like the Anti-Defamation League to combat it,” the company said in a statement. “We appreciate when content and accounts are brought to our attention so that we can swiftly remove what violates our Community Guidelines and strengthen our safeguards. We welcome expert feedback and guidance as we strive to promote a safe and uplifting experience for our community.” Groups promoting white supremacy on TikTok have sought to appropriate the #blacklivesmatter hashtag, the ADL said. They also have used hashtags including #alllivesmatter and #whitelivesmatter. White supremacists on the platform also used other methods to obscure their behavior and evade detection, the ADL said, such as by employing coded language or sharing images of books, signs or web URLs for viewers to research on their own.

Facebook bans racist depictions of Jews and Black people

The social media company said it took action against 22.5 million pieces of content containing hate speech between April and June. Facebook on Tuesday said it updated its hate speech policy to include a ban on images of blackface and anti-Semitic tropes. The company said it changed its standards to “more specifically account for certain kinds of implicit hate speech,” including caricatures of Black people in the form of blackface and Jewish people running the world or controlling major institutions such as media networks, the economy or the government. Blackface is a controversial subject in the Netherlands and Belgium, because of the Christmas tradition of Zwarte Piet (Black Pete), a “helper” of Saint Nicholas who is typically played by a white person whose face is blacked up. The tradition has been criticized by activist groups for being racist. Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders, who is Belgian, dressed in blackface for a charity event in 2015 — an act he has not apologized for. The Flemish town of Aalst has also been criticized for racist depictions of Jews during its annual festival. Facebook has been under renewed pressure to do more to quash racism on its platforms following the killing of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, at the hands of the police in the U.S. in May.

Wiley’s channels removed from YouTube following his anti-Semitic comments

Wiley has been removed from YouTube following his anti-Semitic tirade. The Wearing My Rolex rapper launched into an offensive tirade about the Jewish community last month, which included comparing them to the Ku Klux Klan and tweeting that ‘Israel is not yours’. It prompted an investigation from the Metropolitan Police and bans from social media sites Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. With few platforms to utilise, Wiley began uploading rants on his YouTube channel sparking further outrage. However, the account no longer appears on the website following mounting calls for YouTube to ban the grime star. Addressing the move, a YouTube spokesperson told Metro.co.uk: ‘Following repeated violations, YouTube has terminated Wiley’s channels from our platform.’ According to YouTube, two of Wiley’s videos around hate speech were struck from his channels and he was banned from uploading for seven days. However, he attempted to get around this by uploading content to a new channel.
