It is said that only 10% of the participants were in favor of the renaming. Until the evening before, the poll ran in the online edition of the article. Many people there participated in the survey. The moment a majority in favor of the renaming emerged (49% at about 22:00), the poll was shut down in a flash. A characteristic process like the BK with unpleasant opinion deals.<\/div>\n<div><!--more--><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>We ask the editorial staff of the Berliner Kurier to publish the actual result of the survey by 22:00 last night, even if the result is unpleasant for the editorial staff. It is a journalistic imperative to report information truthfully and completely and not to mislead the participants in the survey or the readers. Since the poll ran until about 22:00, you also have to publish the result by that time. We urge the editors to adhere to journalistic standards and publish the true result.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Signed:<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Africa Council Berlin-Brandenburg <a href=\"mailto:mocktar_kamara@web.de\">mocktar_kamara@web.de<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong> <\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>Federation against ethnic discrimination in the  <\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>Federal Republic of Germany <a href=\"mailto:akfam66@aol.com\">akfam66@aol.com<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong> <\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>Global African Congress <a href=\"mailto:endriasy@aol.com\">endriasy@aol.com<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong> <\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>Initiative Black People in Germany<\/strong>                  <strong><br \/>\n  <a href=\"mailto:tahirdella@isdonline.de\">tahirdella@isdonline.de<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong> <\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong> <\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>Contact: Yonas Endrias Tel: 0179-9404690<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week several hundred people gathered in Berlin-Mitte for the &#8220;8.
