World Cup: Germany?s Campaign Haunted by Racism, Nazism - TIME
This is a continuation of my Public Service Announcements, educating the world about German hate and bloodlust. Many people believe that WWII somehow magically ended German hate...but as it is obvious, their hate and bloodlust has never been extinguished...only hidden by the German people. We should never trust Germans...they have committed some of the greatest atrocities known to humankind. For the sake of humanity, pay attention and be very cautious when it comes to the German people...whether it is a Teaper racist who is proud of his German heritage or a native German...BE CAREFUL - especially if you are Jewish or a minority.
Germanys recent record on blackface isnt good. Die Tageszeitung, a left-leaning newspaper known for its progressiveness and work on inequality, referred to the White House as Uncle Baracks Cabin in 2008. Editors defended the cover, saying it was satirical.
In 2011, Martin Sonneborn, a print satirist, comedian and current member of European Parliament lathered himself in blackface in order to compare himself to Obama.

The backlash in English-speaking media was ferocious, but Sonneborn was unapologetic. No, I didnt know [the history of blackface], he said. If Americans associate it with that, then Im sorry, but Im not going to take it down, Sonneborn told The Local at the time.

According to AP, the incident is being referred to the FIFA Disciplinary committee. FIFA spokeswoman Delia Fischer told reporters: We do not respect any discriminatory messages. We are always taking any evidence or submissions to our disciplinary committee.
According to Football Against Racism in Europe director Piara Powar The question becomes how does one control an individual fan who chooses to mark his body and jumps on the pitch to propagate his neo-Nazi views. He added: Its a failure in the FIFA system to get as far as he did.
There is and always will be a certain percentage of Germans who are true racists and believe in German superiority. We do need to watch these people, but that does not make all of Germany a threat. Germany is not the only country in the world with racists though.
