"I'm not a Nazi, but"

The video takes place in a factory hall, the camera panning on two men sitting in front of a small table. Whoever speaks indirectly between them quickly realizes:

"First of all, I want to make it clear that I'm not a Nazi, but …", a short-haired man starts rapping in a jacket. The citizen apparently worried now, before the clbadic arguments of a voter of the AfD, who was not Nazi, but who feared an Islamization of the West.

The German Turks Should Decide

"I have just tried to pull my roots back to my people," he said in the lyrics, and further: "Prohibited areas, terror as in the Bataclan / The ghosts of a rusty green-green master plan / That's why I light flares and protects our West. "

"

The result of the counter-speech:" I will never be German, because I am a proud Turk ". 19659030] Eko Fresh lights

After the exchange, the rapper Eko Fresh appears himself as a mediator, he sits between the German "worried citizens" and supporters of Erdogan – he sits between the chairs and pleads for individuality. ] "First of all, I want to clarify that I'm Ekrem Bora" ", Eko Fresh raps, referring to his real name As a" German citizen ", he asks:" what shit? "[19659030] The question of the feeling between the chairs had been clarified for a long time for him, but the Özil debate would have him more than to take a stand.
