BERLIN - A German army instructor ordered a soldier to envision himself in New York City facing hostile blacks while firing his machine gun, a video that aired Saturday on national television showed.

The president of the Bronx, the New York City borough that the army instructor referred to in his directions to the soldier, demanded an apology from the German military and said the clip “indicates that bias and assumptions and racism is alive and well around the world.”

Coming after scandals involving photos of German soldiers posing with skulls in Afghanistan and the abuse of recruits by instructors, the video seemed likely to raise more questions about training practices in Germany’s conscript army.

I mean, I knew they were fond of throwing bananas on the field for African players during the World Cup, but this?

And you think such scenarios aren't envisioned by instructors in US law enforcement?

Let's get all our white asses on the bus and go kiss Jackson and Sharpton's (Emperor/Vice-Emperors of black people) asses to preemptively apologize for every social gaff that will be committed by other people. Then the media can focus on more important things.

Yeah but seriously, when was the last time the Bronx was part of Germany? And how many black people actually live in Germany (excluding US military personnel). Didn't Germany have a bit of a xenophobic spat about 70 years ago or so?

Are you worried that Germany's going to land in New York and shoot black people? No matter how you look at it, being trained to kill people is an ugly affair. Does it really make a big fat difference what color their skin is?

Given Germany's track record, yes. Yes it does.

Germany wouldn't be planning to invade the insular US of the past. We're a different country now.

I blame George Bush.

But seriously, it is racist yes, but consider this: If Germany enters a war in the forseeable future, is it as likely to be facing a white foe as it was in 1938?

Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.

I think they'd sodomize France or beat down Poland for the hell of it to be honest.

My god, the things the DI's said in our basic training just 12 years ago for me...I can't even imagine what it would have been if my unit in Leonard Wood wasn't co-ed.

My favorite though was when we had to sound off with "Grenades are better than fucking a fat lady!" at the top of our lungs when we did grenade live throw. It's fucking basic training people, get over it. There's a time and a place for political correctness, and there's a time and place for it to go out the window. So long as everyone there gets a fair shake, then so what?

So what I say black people all the time and so does a lot of other people, you guys really do sound as if you don't know shit about germany. And it was basic fucking training! Who cares? I don't! So why should the damn politicians?! If it where up to me I would have a huge genocide and get rid of stupid people like the ones that are bitching about the black people germany incident.

Are you sure? Because everything that ends with stein is German-Jewish surname.
