explanation ;)

Freely translated:
"waaaaah they just show off emancipation...."

But that doesn't make the posting more intelligent...
Propably that's why he wrote it in German....
Anyway I don't get what all that's got to do with emancipation.

franz

Let's see what the Devils Dictionary says:

EMANCIPATION, n. A bondman's change from the tyranny of another to
the despotism of himself.

He was a slave: at word he went and came;
His iron collar cut him to the bone.
Then Liberty erased his owner's name,
Tightened the rivets and inscribed his own.
G.J.

Your translation is not very accurate. A more accurate one would be "The most important thing is that the emancipation is shown off", which is not necessarily a negative comment and the ;) implies some tongue in cheek.
