What? Don Imus isn't the only dumbass on the planet to utter racist comments? You're kidding.
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 clip shows an instructor and a soldier in camouflage uniforms in a forest. The instructor tells the soldier, “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.”
To be honest, given that hypothetical incident, race wouldn't be a factor to me. I'd just as easily open up on three white guys acting like that. All the same, coming from the German army of all places, I can definitely agree that the comments were in bad form.
“The German government obviously has work to do to correct something that is insidious ... Clearly these folks don’t know anything about African Americans or the Bronx...”
Exactly. In the Bronx, a German soldier would have been shot at first.
