Und auch yo Mutti!
I haven’t seen the infamous German Army training video, but does the guy really say:
“You are in the Bronx. A black van is stopping in front of you. Three African-Americans are getting out and they are insulting your mother in the worst ways. … Act.”
That would be ”Afrikanische Amerikaners,” but I’m guessing that quote has been through the PC wringer and is not a direct translation. So what do they really call blacks in the German Army? ”Schwartzer,” “Heimjunger,” ”Gangsta Rap Leiderer” … anyone know? I’d like to know what the buckethead actually said.
I’d also like to know how three African-Americans insult a German’s mother in the worst ways.
“Yo Fritz, deine Mutti ist doch eine skankische Ho!” or maybe, “Du, blauauge Teufel, die Strudel deiner Mutter schmeckt mm mm gut!”
This was bound to happen sooner or later. I’m not making another one of those cheap “Scratch a German, find a Nazi” jokes. Not that there isn’t a little truth in every stererotype. You know what they say: If the jackboot fits, wear it. But if the cabbage eaters had stepped up to the plate in Iraq and actually fielded combat troops in Afghanistan, they probably wouldn’t be making up enemies to get riled up about in training back in the Fatherland.
Al Sharpton is justifiably outraged.
“I think this is an incredibly racist kind of insult to African-Americans and it speaks to the kind of institutional racism that people think we are hallucinating about,” Mr Sharpton said.
I don’t always agree with Mr. Sharpton, but he’s right. Anyone started a collection to send him over there yet? Sharpton on the rampage among the Siegfrieds is a show worth paying for.
Don Surber: Dumkopfs! Surber points out that hundreds of thousands of black Americans spent the last 60 years keeping half of Europe from eating borscht.
UPDATE: Bryan Ferry: The Nazis were “just amazing.” Happy Holocaust Remembrance Day, Bryan!
Big problem with the Krauts has always been a big picture thing. They’re good on the details, and as long as all they are doing is engineering stuff, a little design, and you keep an eye on them, everything’s good. It’s when you let them take charge of things … long-term planning, global marketing strategies, that kind of thing … that their innate Germanity goes on the fritz, so to speak. The predatory and unsound business practices come out.

Remember what Bogie told that Kraut officer in Casablanca when he asked him if he could imagine the Wehrmacht in New York-”there are certain parts of New York, I would advise you to stay out of.”
Still good advice.

LOL. I’m half German and I like where you’re coming from. I think the insults would be something along the lines of “Your mother’s saurkraut contains 3% too much salt!” or “Your mother’s BMW has been superseded by a newer and better model!”
Maybe they will have to cave in and become more sensitive.. their scenarios might sound a bit more like this:
“You are in Silicon Valley. A lilac Prius is stopped in front of you. Three skinny white dudes are getting out and they are insulting your mother in the worst ways. … Act.”
There, that’s better.

Germans insulting African-Americans = outrage.
Germans insulting Americans = shrugs all around.

God what a field day “ludicris” and “snoop mutty mutt” or what ever the hell his name be with lederhosen. Shhhhhh, don’t tell them that those are menswear items.
And I finally find myself in agreement with Sharp’one. He (another Al, God, how many more can we stand?) should be “institutional”ized and has been “hallucinating”, all the way to the bank, for far to long.

Maybe we should propose alternative training scenarios for the Krauts. I’ll give it a shot:
Kraut instructor-”You have stumbled into stumpwater holler. Bubba has disarmed you and commented on the relative attractiveness of your mouth, he is carrying a rather sinister-looking can of bacon grease. Act!”

Actually, I suspect it would be Schwartze, though I’m sure that’s very un-PC these days over there.

And they say we’re racists….
To paraphrase the line from Casablanca, there are certain sections of New York I wouldn’t advise the German Army to try to invade. Especially after this. (hat tip: PJM) LINKS: More at Jules Crittenden.
