<p>On September 27th, Germans will vote to elect members of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundestag">Bundestag</a>. The environmental Gruene (Green) Party holds the fewest seats amongst the five major German parties. Chancellor Angela Merkel&#8217;s Christian Democratic Union, or Black Party, holds the most. So, the local Greenies in Kaarst erected these posters all over town featuring a white woman caressing a black woman&#8217;s fine ass with the headline: &#8220;The only reason to choose Black.&#8221; Conservatives, liberals, and especially local black leaders <a href="http://open.salon.com/blog/lost_in_berlin/2009/08/13/when_the_greens_go_black">were not amused</a>. The Green Party recently removed the posters, and issued this statement:<span id="more-28995"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>&ldquo;The Greens more than anyone else have always stood for policies characterized by tolerance, cosmopolitanism, and equality. Issues such as integration and women&rsquo;s politics stand at the center of the Greens&rsquo; political work. Accusations that this poster is racist or sexist are thus untenable.&rdquo;</p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s certainly open for political debate.<br />
