The recent worldwide anti-racism protests have fueled a heated discussion over a number of public artworks, monuments and street names around the world and in Germany. Once perceived as honorable, today some of them are considered offensive. So who decides what stays, and what goes - and how is that decision made? The German city of Coburg is grappling with that very question, as a petition circulates demanding that the town change its Coat of Arms, which is meant to depict the local patron saint, Saint Maurice, also known as the 'Moor' of Coburg.

@@MrDgo4life do you know how long it takes for someone to become a saint? How accurates do you think a statue is when, at best, it was comissioned decades (but more likely centuries) after that person has already died. Mauritius (if he even existed) died around 290 so it's safe to say that nobody knows what he looked like, especially since he wasn't wealthy enough to comission a statue or portrait of himself.

Or this could be a ploy to further suppress real world history by trying these things erased and torn down. This woman could be consciously or unconsciously helping to achieve that goal. Not every one of those statues or caricatures is Saint Maurice. Something is being hidden but u don't have to go no further than an old history book on Europe to put the pieces together

The earrings were added in the 19th century and is the only part of the depiction that is actually somewhat connected to colonialism. However, the Saint is portrait very differently but I checked the petition by the woman in the video and she makes no distinction at all. For seemingly all are racist and considered that she thinks that one image with the earrings means all Africans look the same and that it signals exoticism and savagery/wildness, makes me suspect that she actually thinks that of Africans and she is projecting.

100% correct: It's not racist. He is clearly a saint it's a sign of respect for Saint Maurice. Be balck, be proud. Warum koennt ihr das nicht? Meine Freunde in Kenya sind stolze Schwarze und ich das Weissbrot :-)

I suspect Alisha, who is supposed to be “from the area”, has some African ancestry. She cares about the image of her people. Racial consciousness is her primary motivation causing her to make all this noise. Otherwise one would expect appreciation for someone being recognized within the context of the time. Unfortunately this is only the beginning for Europe. The more Africans arrive the more such ridiculous demands to alter the past to satisfy these Africans’ egos will be made.

That is more an African American and partially Afro German ego, for decades not a single African has made a stink about it.

What on earth are you talking about? Do you think African immigrants have something to do with BLM? Look within your country for all the crazy politics, there wouldn't be such a huge fuss if political opportunists weren't taking such an advantage of it...

@@daveo2431 At least some African immigrants have full on jumped on the BLM wagon, trust me. Including that they cannot be racist against white people by definition.

@@inotaishu1 Really? Well, I guess you could expect that some of them would get caught in the movement. Many people are lured in to blindly following the BLM group anyway, not seeing or caring about the actual problems within it.

@@inotaishu1 Yeah, I've been hearing people trying to define racism by that standard for quite a while now. It's crazy how many double standards are accepted as the norm today. The irony that certain groups can freely decide who is/isn't racist, even though we all know racism is a universal concept that could be applied to anyone...

This is not racism, this is stigmatisation. Like all religions do.... Alisha is seeking attention. Does she really need it? She should focus her attention on real problems like religions vs politics or the carbon footprint of the military industrial complex, corrupted governments... And many more. Alisha should understand that suffering is universal.... Opposing ethnicity is a bit outdated. It's not that simple... Any iconic representation is susceptible of endless debates because it can't be absolutely neutral. Icons are biased, distorted, twisted....

who is she to say remove history i am African from Ghana and not all the images look demeaning and i am proud to have a country man go to that distant to be knighted in another region in a day when the richest man on the face of the earth also visited Europe with so much fortunes it crippled the markets for many years. BLM you are BLM then know your history don't erase it for your insensitivity's
