BAP's Niedecken Opposes Censorship of Lindenberg's Hit

Wolfgang Niedecken criticizes the removal of a term from Udo Lindenberg's song, citing concerns over artistic freedom.

Niedecken expressed disapproval of removing the word 'Oberindianer' from Udo Lindenberg's song during a Berlin choral concert.
The Humboldt Forum justified the change, stating the term could be seen as discriminatory due to colonial connotations.
Niedecken argued that associating Lindenberg with colonial violence is misguided, given the song's satirical context.
He emphasized his opposition to censorship in his own works, referencing an incident with a book editor.
Despite his stance, Niedecken acknowledged the importance of reflecting on language and its implications.
