The crap > https://simorgh.de/sprechen/frankfurt-punks-and-their-racism-problem/ > with the Frankfurt Punks continues.
„Dear Mr. Kellerhals, I ask you as administrator to delete this picture in your Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=2205407265375&set=g.241588265866659 uploaded by Ms. Kerry Steffler. I could not find out how to contact her directly via the FB group, hence this way to ask you to delete the picture. If you have any questions about my identity, you could contact me via email at niceswine@gmail.com as this email is under Gita Yegane Arani and not this FB account. Thanks for your help in advance.“
In response, the admin of the group „Christian Øke Kellerhals“, located in Danmark and Frankfurt as he conveys on his FB pages, wrote that he saw no reason to delete this picture. The picture would be “in this context for documentary purposes“ and would not “in any way propagate political attitudes of either Ms. Steffler or Skrewdriver”.
What does he even want to indicate with this out of context argumentation that he pulls out of nowhere but his own phantasy obviousy?!?
This person has clearly never heard of personal rights and seems to assume that I’d have to be scared of „Nazis“ like Skrewdriver. Quite ridiculous I must say, but he seems to need to think that’s how „racism“ and the critique of it works: there would be the one side, the scared ones, and on the other side those who dsicriminate, the strong ones. I must say I see this somewhat differently.
Racism is a matter of enmity towards Humans per se. It doesn’t matter where you stand in terms of a hierarchical top and bottom. The point is that it’s a primitive worldview. Anybody who still believes that there is a higher good, represented in phenotypes and genes – I wish them luck to be proven right.
Anyhow. I am sick of the racist crap coming from that scene in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

Ms. Kerry Steffler deleted the entry after I complained and threatened to contact a laywer. I also posted some sarcasm, referring to their political overall backwardness and narrowmindedness, next to that photo, and linked an excellent track by Burnt Cross.
That probably did it.
They don’t like to be reminded about their perpectivical limitations – that was so in the 1980es when you would talk to any one of them per chance, and it stayed exactly the same way. Even with the diverse „upgrades“ to calling themselves more being Antifa-ish and being Left-ish, etc.
The funny thing is that experiences like those indicate to me that the Enlightenment has been a process that did not necessarily change anything about the typical kind of „mindedness“ of the average person. Overall the century long discourse opened up change; the political structures changed in Europe. But these days we can see that the very deep layers within societies all seem to function in relatively similar ways: Conspirational, tribal, brutal after all. A long and generally an interesting subject that I do observe from an outsiders viewpoint > the „tribal“ mind of the average european citizen; now that everyone clashes with all their historical baggage [uh oh].
Anyway, I am quite disappointed and I must say I am even shocked by the machoism or whatever one should call this in that response from that Christian Oke Kellerhals guy.
If that’s what their „Frankfurt Punk 77 to 83“ is all about then so be it. I luckily got nothing to do with that not-very-urban-minded shit. Never had … I just happened to get to know some „Gals“ there in the late 70ies and early 80ies.
