He also dropped Robert Pires because he's a Scorpio (apparently)

Racist German Army Clip Targets N.Y. Blacks
Ok, where to start..
1) There´s a lot of racism in the german military. Fact.
2) What Spiff says is very true. Maybe hard to imagine for Americans, but there really are very few colored people (hope that doesn´t sound racist, it´s the translation of the polite german expression) in Germany compared to what i believe is the situation in America. At my school back in the days: only whites. I don´t remeber seeing any colored person in my home town (a few thousand inhabitants) ever. The first time i saw some colored persons on a regular basis was at university, of 3,000-3,500 students there were no more than a dozen.
Furthermore what´s a shame to see is the situation in the town where i´m living now (~1mio): If you are of very dark skin you WILL be checked by the police. I´ve seen that so many times. People tend to think that if you came from Africa to Germany you most certainly are a drug dealer. That´s a shame but seems to be quite normal over here. Makes me sick every time i see it.
The other thing Spiff says is also true in my eyes: The first impression youths in Germany get of African-american people does most probably not come from reality but from rap music videos. Gangster rap is VERY popular in Germany.
Which leads me to my next point: As i´ve stated before, it is VERY unlikely that you as a German will EVER encounter a gun in your life execpt of the military. We have very strict laws, prohibiting gun posession for private persons nearly completely. Though there´s a huge movement to copy US gangster rap in Germany, more and more german artists (especially the label "Aggro Berlin") glorify their so-called Ghetto life, where you could be shot every day (which is total BS in Germany), drug dealing etc.. There´s this 'ideal' of Ghetto, Gangster Life etc. They very much glorify that lifestyle and through that there´s a strange picture of colored people established. Some of the German (white!!!) rappers even call each other by the n-word and use that a lot in their lyrics (take artist King Kool Savas for example who is part German part Turkish).
As a part of that the term "Bronx" has become commonly used. I´ve encountered the use of that term in my time in the military, too. In 99% it doesn´t refer to the NY district but to any 'ghettoish' place. Doesn´t make it right, just to explain..
The German ignorance of the topic goes on: It is very common along the younger generation to speak of "Texaner" (german for Inhabitants of the US state Texas) when refering to people of most probable south american / mexican heritage.
I could continue forever.. I don´t want to defend anything here, I just thought you guys might find some of this interesting. As always I´m open for opinions, suggestions, critcs, questions and whatever :-)
3) I don´t know why that´s of relevance but: Krumzy, you´re right. It´s a MG3. That´s not the standard weapon but the "bigger" version of standard G3. The G3 (7,62x51) is more and more replaced by G36 (5,56x45) which hasn´t a bigger brother anymore but comes with a seperate mount for MG-use.
Oh and very important: I don´t think Germans are any more racist than other people, it´s just a little bunch of idiots that make it into the news. Just like the KKK etc. Remember Football World Cup 2006? ;-) [that´s soccer for you American guys...]
