Der Ton wird schärfer, die Probleme nicht kleiner - in Deutschland wird heftig diskutiert. Die Lager stehen sich zunehmend unversöhnlicher gegenüber. "Alte weiße Männer", denen die Meinungsvorherrschaft abgesprochen wird, auf der einen Seite, junge schwarze Frauen, die, kaum gehört, der Ideologie verdächtigt werden.
