Due to the music video embargo we can't put this on YouTube for another week but that wasn't going to stop us from checking it out for you all first! This song is so damn good and the music video is wilder than we could have imagined. 

We hope you enjoy!

The video begins first with suffering of a black imprisoned mother and daughter (refugee crisis) and than six men (Rammstein) in the front yard with "modified National Socialists" salute. They are wearing white polo shirts, over which gray sweater vests with large checks are worn. They mow the lawns in their front yards, grill cheese crackers and enjoy the gossip from the weekend newspaper. But after just a few seconds, the bourgeois garden world is torn down and bathed in black, white and red light. Black, white and red are the colors of the German Reich flag, which Neo-Nazis and Reich citizens like to wear. It is no coincidence that Rammstein chose this lighting. Eventually, barbed wire is rolled out, walls are erected, and surveillance cameras are installed to shadow the others. Horrific cheerleaders even deliver machine guns for money, which are ultimately aimed at the screens, opening up a black hole and engulfing the group. Lindemann can also be seen as a mental patient at the lectern.Because the harmless bourgeois in the song are actually lousy racists who soon have built a wall and barbed wire around their front yard and then reach for the machine gun. For fear of the black man. But it won't reveal who the black man is. Racism criticism is the obvious interpretation, but there are also other interpretations, as always with Rammstein. If there is enough fear involved, also fueled by lies on social media, the philistine becomes a monster and, in the worst case, takes up arms. The fact that the band is making a statement on racist, xenophobic views is clear given the line of text "Who's afraid of the black man" and the people cooped up in barbed wire at the beginning and end of the video. In the end, the group peacefully munches the much-discussed chocolate kiss while watching the suffering of the imprisoned mother and daughter on television (refugee crisis in Europeand strengthening the right-wing extremists who spread their lies with social media (for example Trump in the US, new right wing party in Germany AFD and so on). The german terms Negerkuss ("Negro kiss") and Mohrenkopf (=chocolate marshmallow = a kind of small chocolate-covered cake filled with foamy sugar) have been largely avoided in recent times because of the racist connotations of the terms Negro and Mohr in official german parlance. However, some of the designations are still used by the manufacturing companies.
