In an interview, the Green Chancellor candidate Annalena Baerbock tells of a racist incident at a school. She used the N word for this. She apologized for it on Twitter.
The Chancellor candidate of the Greens, Annalena Baerbock, has apologized for having used the “N-word” in an interview. “That was wrong and I’m sorry,” wrote Baerbock on Twitter on Sunday. She knows about the racist origin of the word and the injuries black people suffer from it. The term “N-word” is used today to describe a racist term used for black people. The “Bild” newspaper first reported on Baerbock’s apology.
The chancellor candidate reported on Twitter that she had told of an incident at a school in her area in the conversation about anti-Semitism and racism. There a student would have refused to write a picture story on a worksheet with the word on it. “Unfortunately, in the recording of the interview, I quoted the word in the emotional description of this unspeakable incident and thus reproduced it myself,” wrote Baerbock.
Baerbock distances himself from Palmer: “Two different things”
She became aware of this during the recording. That is why the Greens weighed up a reaction with the Central Council of Jews, which conducted the interview. In the interview, the recording of which Baerbock published under her tweet, the word is drowned out with a beep.
Baerbock also made it clear that the case was in no way related to what she saw as the racist derailments of the Green politician Boris Palmer. “It is obvious that these are two different things in different contexts,” she said. The Mayor of Tübingen Palmer had used the “N-word” in connection with the former national soccer player Dennis Aogo – ironically according to his own statements. Baerbock had then announced deliberations about Palmer’s expulsion from the party.
