Ghanaian-born ex-Germany international Gerald Asamoah was racially abused during Greuther Fuerth’s DFB Pokal semi-final game against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.
Dortmund’s Kevin Grosskreutz hurled racist language at the former Schalke 04 attacker after the two had been separated from a clash during the course of play.
Greuther Fuerth defender Mevrim Mavaraj, who was at the spot, says he heard the abusive language from the Dortmund player.
“He uttered something about Asamoah’s origin.Too bad we still talk about these things in football nowadays,” Mavaraj said.
“Not to talk about the fact that Grosskreutz is a national team player. I won’t say much else the DFB will ask me for an official statement. ”
Asamoah, 34, suffered a similar abuse in 2006 from Hansa Rostock fans bagging a brace against them in a 9-1 cricket scoreline game.
The German federation is expected to rule on the case next week.
Hmmm eye asem oooo!! Obi manso eden!!!
The black German…….can the Ethiopian change his skin color? why wont they abuse you when you have given them the indication that your race is inferior to them….how many Germans will naturalize for GH, lets learn to respect ourselves as people and not sell ourselves to these pagans….see we are the sons of Kings!
@city–To naturalised as a citizen of another nation is never an indication that you are inferior.
The problem is the acceptance of perception deliberately downloaded to our psycological faculty from centuries past and erroneously accepted by us.
From centuries past those of us from Africa were refered to us as NEGROS,then after the second world war,it all changed and and we were refered to as ”COLOURED’
Recently the new term is BLACK MAN.
The problem is whastever we are called ,we just ACCEPT THE TAG.
During the TACHERITE ERA IN BRITAIN ,there was term popurally known as BLACK=BAD & WHITE=GOOD or pure.
Is there any skin colour as white.Why do we called PINK SKIN white?
How many people who are reffered to as BLACK are actually BLACK.
What is the JUSTIFICATION TO LABBELLED SOMEBODY LIKE OBAMA AS BLACK .He has both PARENTS OF THE SKIN DIVIDE so why do we call him one and not another.
The sad aspect is the fact that in GHANA and for that matter THE WHOLE OF AFRICA,the ignorance of SELF VALUE is such that ANY SKIN COLOUR from the slums of unneducated lebanon via ASIA is deemed White AND superior.
Whiles in europe those from CHINA,INDIA that is ASIA are FLAGGED as ORIENTALS BUT in AFRICA they are WHITE.
The whole world is IGNORANT AND COLOUR BLIND when it comes to skin colour.
GENETICALLY there is an insignificant difference between skin colours and every skin colour, PINK,GREEN,BROWN,BLACK can be traced back to SOUTH AFRICA where the first man is SCIENTICALLY AND factually being discoverd to have stem from.
Untill we all stand up and stop calling PINK SKIN COLOURS WHITE AND CALLED STOP CALLING OURSELVES OURSELVES BLACK,the look down attitude will continue to the generations to come.
Is it NOT sad to read an UNGLY MUCHO LIKE SUAREX SAID TO EVRA I DON’T TALK TO BLACKS.
The case of GERALD ASAMOAH,SULLEY MUNTARY make ME more determined not to allow anybody to refer to me as BLACK MAN.
Anybody who knows me from GERMANY,UK,USA,AUTRALIA,DENMARK DARE NOT CALL ME A BLACK MAN.YOU CALLED ME A BLACK AND I RESPOND PINK MAN OR WOMAN AND THAT REALLY HURTS.
Well articulated Sir.
Africans are kept ignorant and that is what hurts me the most. Africans like myself only travel to see a different world and how these people refer to us. In out own home we do not know how they look at us. I understand every aspect of what you are saying but I can bet a 100% you are not in Africa. You know all these because you traveled. How do you convey this message to your people in a manner that they will understand? It is the most difficult question I am yet to find an answer for. There is really no need in how one person refers to another. The most important thing is getting the mass of your people to know what they are referred to as. One of the hurdles we are yet to cross. If Africans know how people think about them, a lot will change but the Question is, WHO WILL TEACH THEM???
@aa–What really annoys me is those lebanese walking the lenth and breath of GHANA,LIBERIA,GABON etc. with chip on their shoulders.
The perception the rest of the world has regarding AFRICA is sad.
The good news is, there is always one day
Kesben fm,fox fm, Eagle fm and Ash fm presenters are all kotoko supporters.
THERE IS NO FM STATION IN KUMASI CALL EAGLE FM, I GUESS U MEAN ANGEL FM
Asamoah sold his birth right to Germany and he is paying for it.
nonsense.
masa the problem here is not about selling his birth right or naturalising…..etoo suffered racial abuse in Spain although he hasn’t naturalise for spain ..so was Roberto Carlos abused in Russia… Some stupid whites just do these things to intimidate we the blacks
no skin colour is white.
you mean caucasians
@benny thanks man, points well noted…. but creation actually started around the nile river, specifically Uganda.
@city-l reffered to scientific evidence available to us about the oldest human fosils not creation.
The only thing white people have dat black people need, or shud want,is power-and no one holds power for ever.da so called white races are really pinko-gray.being black is not a mata of pigmentation-being black is a reflection of mental attitude.
@DWAYNE-The biggest problem with us is our die hard attitude towards clinging unto obsolate cultures that have no relevance to 21ST CENTURIES.
Pouring libation,l find it lAUGHABLE.
What l find very annoying is that ,there are so many people in Europe who cannot read nor write .They are the stupid ones with the guts to ask whether there are roads in AFRICA.
In the uk alone over 5million adults cannot read nor write.Those doubting Thomas’s CAN go to The sun.co.uk,skysports.com,talksports.co.uk and see some terrible english grammer and spellings by native ENGLISH MEN.You dare make a simple mistake on GSN and the bashing….mmmmm.
We need to wake up and set our priorities aright.
We are great people with brains like the other skin colours.
Thanks for correction Seth and others kotoko funs presenters are Nhyira fm sports presenter host,and Hellow fm king Eduate but God bless star boy, Akwasi Amankwaa and our number one P R O Kwaku Adu sei (Kanawu) of hellow fm 4 not biars 2 any team.

benny has taken us through a psycholigal ride of colour race and racism the price a colored person pays are racist chants which i abhor but its the truth gerald come home and be respected or stay ther and be tauted at
The white man (sorry pinkman) is always amazed at the way we perform in sports and other disciplines. They do not understand why we should excel in anything in fact even be able to speak their language. They assumed we as some gorillas who have strayed to town. We lucky they have a law to treat animals kindly if not a black man who would be shot while walking on their streets. How can a gorilla (oh sorry Gerald Asamoah) be dribling and clash with a white man (sorry pink man). So with small insults, never mind, pocket your Detchmarks and send it my Western Union to the old folks in the village in Ghana. There are many guys out there in the whiteman’s (sorry pinkman) country who lick the asses of white girls (sorry pink) and paid dollars which you send home. There many more who are ready to go tomorrow if the ship docks. If you hear how parents in Africa insults their children as if those children are not their own – monkey face – sugarcane legs – crocodile nose – mosquito hands – witch, etc. Just announce that there are vacancies in London for people who would just wake up in the morning and face a white (sorry pinkman) who will insult you the whole day and get paid. My bother, Accra Sports Stadium is too small to contain them lol. GOOD NITE.
this is the reality of ” NEGROS “…http://www.sq.4mg.com/NationIQ.htm
