Welcome to Germany Tim!

Must have been a nasty fight. They even pulled his trousers down!

Interesting. They said Timbaland was released on €750.- bail, but AFAIK, there is no concept of bail here.

Who? Does he make them hiking boots?

N word? Wot? "Nazi" ?

Since he's black, I presumed he was called a 'nigger' rather than a Nazi.

Aaargh, she said the 'n' word!!!

Brilliant UrbanAngel. You are an asset to the team. We were stuck for a moment there. My money was on him being called a "Ninny" but your suggestion sounds more likely.

Jehovah!

Spokespersons report that the "N" gramatical construct used was "Nürnburger".

that'll teach that white boy a lesson. Go Timbaland!

I checked Parnell's post for any trace of sarcasm but didn't find any, so deduced that he really must be that thick *sniggers* hence the helping hand

Reminds me of this excellent clip from South Park. Unfortunately not on youtube so couldn't embed.

I don't think it's necessarily that straightforward.

Since he's german he could just as easily have called him a neger, which in my, and most other germans, opinion is not the same thing.

There is, it's called Strafkaution "Ein Strafverdächtiger wird durch das Hinterlegen einer Kaution bis zur Gerichtsverhandlung aus dem Gewahrsam entlassen (§§ 116, 116a StPO)."

ER - Black Germans I've met and know aren't to over the moon about it though. But years of being called a negro along with the "my don't you speak good german" line or worse having that said in the third person to their partner has sort of given them a thick skin.

Ah, thanks! I didn't know that. So what is a bailbondsman called? Do they have bounty hunters?

Anyone know if "Robert F" is actually German?

Serves "Robert F" right. You go Timbaland!!!

I thought Parnell was Irish?

probably wrong here but, it was just one article and suddenly this Rob F is a KKK racist MoFo...seems everyone wants blood without knowing jack/nothing...hmm

I dont know Timberland or this Rob F, so ignore this crap...

I prefer to think of myself like "The Littlest Hobo" , so I'm from "around".

Yes. Thanks. We've all heard the rumours.

I despise racism in all forms, whether it be hood-wearing KKK members to average Joe calling somebody a name because of their color. I've experienced it from the other side, i.e. somebody giving me crap for being middle-class white - it's not pleasant in any form.

Cracker

Baldy cracker!

Ok, let me rephrase - If I know that it's done in jest it doesn't bother me.

A friend of mine (no not me!) once made the mistake of ordering a "Neger" (Cola & Weissbier) in a pub run by black Africans after which he was told to leave the establishment in unfriendly terms!

I'll bet that Timbaland uses the word "Cracker" all the time.

To jersey boy = totally agree with you, everyone knows or should know that all races / classes including whites receive rascism, someone did mention on this thread about teaching that white boy a lesson, but it was probably in jest as well. Britain has a new 60 & 100 meter sprinter on the scene, I cannot recall his name, he is a 20 yr old caucasian guy who mentioned many black sprinters telling him ' to go home white boy'.

I was just pointing out how one article (was it an american one?) created alot of immediate reactions without anyone knowing anything.
I read in a London paper that the guy was Croatian and got peeved when Timberland was hitting onto his girlfriend. Totally different scenario to what was posted here.

It just seems a bad reflection (on germany) that a 'scuffle' between a black person whom happend to be Timberland was put out in the press as racially orientated leading to the 'masses' believing it. When in fact it should be just taken as celebrity media, which is all questionable... as papers need to be sold.

To my own thread = yeah whatever!!!

It must be really hard being a British Aristocrat* with all that classism/racism around. Maybe the Dukes and Lords just put up with it by drawing up their draw bridges or closing the iron gates to their estates to keep out the racist masses!!!

Here's me thinking there was an hierarchy (i.e. Top and Bottom) in society a la the Monthy Python sketch...

* or the Elite class anywhere for that matter..

Is it ever acceptable to call someone a nigger?
Here's an article by DJ Spoony discussing that exact point in reference to UK Big Brother Emilygate.

Is it acceptable to call someone a negro? No. Its below the belt and meant to hurt and demeanour. 'tis fighting talk, whatever the situation. I cant believe in this modern world that people (usualy white) hide behind the but in our neck of the woods its meant as a term of endearment bullshit.

Found a new quote in the SZ Magazin a couple weeks ago that confirms that "Neger" is indeed inacceptable in German nowadays:




Aus dem Magazin - 16.05.2007
Per Anhalter durch eine andere Welt

Jeeves, Draw up the bridges and close the Iron gates...and the gold ones for that matter!!!
Someone mentioned racists masses, twas not me! Also twas the good man himself whom had mentioned ' white middle class'

Please remind about the Monthy Python sketch..?

Tally ho

It wasn't Monty Python, it was The Frost Report.
Class

I think it is downright wrong of this chap to have a name so similar to that of another established pop artist!

whip that german's ass! Sounds like he was justified in clobbering the dieter, no sense in derogatory remarks.

Dirty word in my book that's for sure.
