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.

Anything east of Ohio should be sawed-off the mainland as far as I am concerned. :D

The Bronx is no gem, but it gets a bad rap. It is not the worst part of NYC. I'll take you to parts of Brooklyn that make the BX look like Beverly Hills.

If the instructor was interested in projecting sterotypes, why didn't he say a black van in Harlem stops and three guys get out?

Bed-Stuy is the only place I've ever been that compares with East Oakland.

You have got to look real hard to find a really bad neighorbood in Brooklyn or the Bronx these days.. To find broken down, dysfunctional bad you have to go to Newark, NJ or Bridgeport, CT.

These Germans have been watching too many hip-hop videos.

BTW - some of the most persistant graffiti offenders in New York are punk European kids, including Germans.
