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.

@inotaishu1 4 года назад

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.
