"Die Welt zu Gast bei Freunden"

... is the official slogan of the World Cup in Germany. In English, this would be something like "the world as a guest among friends" - the official English version of the FIFA slogan sounds a bit more modest: "A Time to make Friends".
Many people considered "un-german" would perhaps prefer to be treated with ignorance instead of the "warm welcome" experienced by persons who do not fit in the scheme of the "normal" German.
When Ermyas M. - a German citizen of Ethiopian descent was beaten half dead and fell into a coma in the eastern-german city of Potsdam in the end of april, the public reaction was stronger than normally. This was the wrong signal shortly before the World Cup! What would the international opinion say?
The aftermath of brutal racist and antisemitic attacks in Germany - if they get public attention at all - has been similar in the recent years: first there is an "outcry of public opinion", suspects are arrested, local politicians fear for the image of their town. Then, suddenly, "new evidence" is found (or simply rumours are spread) to "prove" that the victim may not be a victim, at least not a victim of a racist attack, because "blonde, blue-eyed people are also the victims of violence, sometimes committed by attackers who may not be German citizens" as Wolfgang Schaeuble, the minister of the interior in the German government, put it.
In the case of Ermyas M. the police initially presented mailbox grabbings whith racist insults from the night of the attack; at the moment Ermyas M. - who can't remember anything because of his head injuries - is presented as an aggressive drunkard who got beaten down by two other drunken guys after he tried to hit them.
Now worse dangers to the German state of affairs have been detected: Last week the Africa Council, an umbrella organization of African migrants in Germany published an advice for foreign visitors how to prevent racist attacks. After harsh critiques against their supposed intentions to create "scare stories" which would demolish the German reputation in other countries, the Council has refrained from publishing a map with "no-go-areas" in Germany, dangerous for people with dark skin.
After being attacked for his alleged anti-german intentions, Moctar Kamara, chairman of the Africa Council replied that this no-go-area-map has been already existing for a long time: "it's author is the Verfassungsschutz" [a German secret service of the interior].
