A prominent Jewish group said on Monday it was reviewing legal options against a German neo-Nazi party for "racist" remarks calling Barack Obama's election as US president a "declaration of war" on "pure" nations.
The Berlin chapter of the American Jewish Committee (AFC) condemned statements made by Jürgen Gansel, a deputy in the Saxony state legislature for the far-right National Democratic Party of Germany, against Obama's election as the first African-American US president.
In a statement from his office entitled "Africa conquers the White House," Gansel said multicultural America sought the destruction of "pure" national cultures and that Obama aimed to destroy the United States' "white identity."
"A non-white America is a declaration of war on all people who believe an organically grown social order based on language and culture, history and heritage to be the essence of humanity," he said. "Barack Obama hides this declaration of war behind his pushy sunshine
smile."
Gansel said Obama's triumph was the product of "the American alliance of Jews and Negroes" and warned the president-elect enjoyed too much popularity in Germany.
"Many people in the 'diverse' republic Germany have been swept up in Obama fever which resembles an African tropical disease," he said. Gansel said he hoped that Obama's voters would be quickly disappointed by his performance and rise up against the US government.
"It would be a gross irony of history if the first black president drove his clientele of minorities to openly revolt due to his grandiose domestic failure, and the much-touted American dream became a nightmare," he said.
Poland condemns lawmaker's anti-Obama slur (http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-world-europe/20081109/EU.Poland.Obama.Racist.Slur/)
WARSAW, Poland — Poland's Foreign Ministry has condemned a conservative lawmaker who called U.S. president-elect Barack Obama the "black messiah of the new left" and said his victory marks the "end of the civilization of the white man."
Artur Gorski is a little-known member of the opposition right-wing Law and Justice party. He made the remark to parliament on Wednesday, a day after Obama's historic victory as America's first African-American president.
The Foreign Ministry condemned the remark in a statement Sunday and said it will urge Parliament's Ethics Committee to review the case.
Ministry spokesman Piotr Paszkowski says he doesn't know what kind of punishment Gorski could face, but said the government wants to emphasize that it regards the remark as unacceptable.
