Kele spricht über Rassismus

18.10.2007, 14:22, Text: Johannes Mihram

Kele Okereke, Sänger der englischen Band Bloc Party, hat erstmals in einem Interview über das Ereignis gesprochen, das ihn zu vielen Texten des letzten Albums 'A Weekend In The City' und den Beitrag der Band zum Anti-Rassismus-Sampler (wir berichteten) gebracht hat. So sagt Okereke: \"A few years ago my cousin was killed in a racist attack and a lot of the anxieties I had as a young person really compounded recently. The only thing I can remember is when I was around four years old and I was in a playground and some kid made a comment. That was the first time I realised I had different coloured skin to other people... as a four year old realising that you're different, realising that although you live in this country there are certain avenues and doors that are closed to you.\" Über den Sampler sagt er: \"I was told about the situation with the BNP handing out racist music outside schools and I thought that was a really abhorrent thing because young minds are impressionable. Anything that I could do to try to stem that is completely fine with me. We live in a bubble in London that isn't the same as certain parts of the rest of the UK and you can't forget that. There are places we've played in the UK where they really don't see non-white faces.\"
