Aldi, an international supermarket chain, has apologized for a racist attack that a Ghanaian-German shopper was subjected to inside one of its stores. In the video posted by Prince Ofori, a German-Ghanaian dance teacher, shows shoppers in a Berlin store can be seen yelling at Ofori in German. Then a man in a blue jacket throws a cardboard box at him.

“He wants to buy n****r kisses,” Ofori says in the video according to the Associated Press. “I told him n****r don’t exist anymore. They think that because they grew up with (the term), they have the right to say that.” At the end of the video, Ofori was forced out of the store by the same man wearing a blue jacket, whom Ofori claims is the branch manager, and a security guard.

In the caption translated from German, Ofori gives a backstory to the incident. “RACIST ATTACK AT @aldinord ️ TRIGGER WARNING! It cannot be that, as a Black person, I cannot do my shopping normally in 2021 without being insulted with racist remarks, pelted with objects and then portrayed as the person who behaves “wrongly” when expressing their displeasure,” he wrote.

“This happened after the word ‘N *** R KISSES’ was pronounced several times in my direction and I pointed out that the word ‘N *** R KISSES’ is NOT to be accepted these days and is considered an insult,” he continued. “…The branch manager viewed the situation as a threat and I was thrown out of business in the company of several people, including a security officer and the branch manager.”

The chocolate-covered marshmallows have been referred to by the racist name Negerküsse in Germany since they were created over 200 years ago. Although the original name has since been changed and recognized as inappropriate, the word is still used by older generations. Aldi Nord has since addressed the video via social media, releasing a statement condemning racism in its stores.
