[liberationtech] [TrumanScholars] funds for transporting refugees from border to Germany

[Jillian C. York]

Dear Willi,

As an American in Germany I can assure you that there’s plenty Germans
cannot or will not discuss, as well as plenty of state-approved censorship.
Look at the draconian NetzDG. Look at what happens in Germany these days if
you dare speak ill of Israel’s occupation.

So please get off your high horse because an American chose to (rightly and
politely) not write in full a word that has been used as a slur against
Black people for more than a century.

Thanks,
Jillian York
