#Racismes de France

[iamacolor]

the new immigration law that was just voted in france... every single one of the 349 deputies who voted yes is a disgusting racist far-right pig (and same for the senators) - it wasn't enough to let a palestinian man die because you only wanted some of his kids to come to France despite him working for France for years as though there should be a quota now you've decided to actually impose a quota on immigration, distribute social benefits based on origins thereby implementing a national preference on social services, take away the long standing right of any kid born in france from foreign parents to be automatically french (edit: it was not granted automatically upon birth but later on if the kid asked for it when they reached their majority), ask a deposit from foreign students that would only be given back on the basis of them leaving the country once they've finished their studies, allow residential permits based on job sectors with lack of workforce and so many more stuffs and all of that under the cheers of the far right party the current government was supposed to oppose... this country is making me sick!!!

#genuinely disgusting #c'est pas possible qu'on en soit là quoi c'est quoi cette merde #comment on peut être aussi plein de mauvaises choses #france #if anyone was still under the impression that France is a good country... it's not #french stuffs #vinformation #upthebaguette #racism #immigration

#les mis letters #just tagging for personal use hfjfjwj #but yeah myriel my beloved #les mis published in 1862... idk when exactly myriel becomes bishop of digne but its so interesting #bc myriel is really serving that preferential option for the poor swag #i love myriel so much im breaking out my catechism handouts HAHAJSHDHF #but seriously to my knowledge All That is only really articulated in the 1960s and 70s onwards with the really revolutionary clergy #and its interesting to like grapple with/get into myriel and catholicism in general as it’s presented in lm #while knowing that. this is published 1862!!! the ph is still colonized by then! #noli me tangere was published 1887!!! and in it is padre DAMASO!!! a FRANCISCAN! who OUGHT to be like myriel but literally steps on '> #'indios' and DEMANDS they pay obeisance. a FRANCISCAN portrayed like that! and here is myriel #a BISHOP!!@ #padre damaso is also a franciscan iirc and dont get me started on irene and camorra (CAMORRA MY BELOATHED DIE BY MY SWORD) #sorry digression but yes very interesting #i guess part of it is that hugo was writing post revolution... that france had already had its anticlerical frenzy with the revolution and #hugo wasnt anticlerical and all that... and of course while the clergy did do oppression in france i don't think it was as bad as in the ph #where they were complicit in and participated in incredibly harsh and inhumane oppression and racism #(cough the monasterio de santa clara only accepting full blooded spanish as nuns until 1898 when the americans came.. though they did accept #native lay sisters who did household work etc) #like the church in lm is cruel in its discompassion/as a part of the wider world which is cruel bc it does not care/bc of apathy #meanwhile the church in noli and fili is cruel bc. okay first off inherently oppressive but second the people in it are personally shitty #damaso isnt just cruel in apathy he literally [*****] someone and has ibarras father disgraced #and he didn't do anything about what he knew was happening in the convent #anyway just spitballing im overdue for a reread of both anyway #but i have been doing research on the catholic institutions of the ph recently for Reasons #and the things they did.... dear god the children in the monasterio de santa clara.... #the 'problem' with the friars coercing women in the confessional.... #agh sorrh uh #tw clerical abuse #i think

People are so shocked that Black folks existed in ancient Rome like my dudes Italy is like 10 feet away from Africa some of it was literally part of the Roman empire don't make me google maps this for you

#they also didn't have the same kind of racism we have in america despite also relying heavily on slave labor #so people of color could be in high social classes and political positions #original #rome sucked but it did have diversity #roman history #ancient rome #the fact that tv and film represent history as monochromatic is because racism. #poc weren't like. invented in the 1980s and neither were lgbt people. time is not a linear progression towards a better world. #hollywood has always been racist and american racism is way worse than the racism of the romans tbh #pretending we are de facto less prejudiced than our ancestors is a mistake. #our society is in many ways less progressive than a lot of ancient cultures #also persian and middle eastern people would have been part of the roman empire at points #most roman slaves were from modern day spain and france if I'm not mistaken #again it was a shitty society that relied on imperialism and slavery #but complaints about 'forced diversity' in historical drama are just modern racism #Carthage #ancient Egypt #edit: that said if someone were to tell me that colorism WAS rampant all throughout the history of ancient rome i would be ZERO % shocked #get FUCKED ancient roman culture! #yeah i said it. what are they gonna do? delenda me? YOOOOOOOO #ancient rome was PROBLEMATIC #HOT TAKES FROM JACK ALERT

Ne pas vivre à genoux, ça veut dire à genoux vis-à-vis d'aucune idole, aussi geignante et menaçante soit-elle. Voir le passionnant Wiki sur la conférence de presse de De Gaulle du 27 novembre 1 967 où il mettait en garde contre le bellicisme juif. La position de la France était à l'époque mesurée, et pas judéo-extatique. Basile Pesso, 31 octobre 2 023 (Fb) Avec photo et citation de De Gaulle : "Nous devons notre liberté à des hommes qui ne plient pas, ne s’agenouillent pas, ne se soumettent pas"

The 1944 Thiaroye Massacre in Senegal, a Shameful Episode of the French Colonial Period in Africa · Global Voices

From the article;

'On December 1, 1944, an unspeakable tragedy took place at the military camp of Thiaroye, a small village in the suburbs of Dakar. Thirty-five Senegalese Tirailleurs (a type of rifleman or sharpshooter) were killed, according to official records, but other testimonies reported more than 300 dead, gunned down by colonial troops after protesting to be paid for their military service. The general public did not learn of this tragedy until 1988, when a film called “Camp de Thiaroye,” by Senegalese cineaste and writer Sembène Ousmane, was released.'

This is how white supremacy works. It always begins with the taking — an entitled grabbing of the cultural symbols of others. A sombrero? A serape? They're there for the seizing. And if such snatching is questioned — if we dare confront the audacity by which it plucks what isn't its own — then there is intimidation and terror. 

White supremacy grabs and grabs — lands, people, continents, culture — for both power and hollow amusement.

I try to avoid celebrations in which people who otherwise do not at all engage with Mexican culture merrily wear sombreros and serapes and chug tequila on Cinco de Mayo. I’m not here for that, particularly in a cultural moment when hate crimes against Latinos has increased, we are harassed in public for speaking Spanish and anti-immigrant sentiment is excruciatingly blatant.

The real tragedy for me is that a day that once represented brown solidarity — and resistance against colonialism — has been mired by a commercial whitewashing.

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Battle of Puebla in 1862, when a rag-tag army of mostly indigenous Mexicans defeated French forces who attempted to conquer the independent country. Severely outnumbered and armed with outdated guns, Mexican soldiers defended the city of Puebla, forcing the French to retreat. The French were directed by Emperor Napoleon III, who used excuses to invade the country.

That first Puebla victory appeared to benefit the Union army in a struggle hundreds of miles away: the American Civil War. Some scholars and historians now believe that Napoleon III's invasion of Mexico was a masked attempt to set up a base that could assist the South against the Union.

When Napoleon III invaded Mexico, the Civil War, then in its second year, was looking hopeful for the Confederate South and the French emperor had apparently "teased" the South that France would recognize it. Had Mexicans lost the first Battle of Puebla, the French could have assisted the Confederacy when it still had an advantage and the outcome of the Civil War may have been a different one.

At the time, Mexican-Americans in California opposed to slavery felt that the success of the Union could hinge on the Battle of Puebla and upon hearing that Mexican forces had prevailed, they celebrated with fireworks and drinks. Cinco de Mayo was born. Some of these Mexican-Americans had seen Mexico disavow slavery in 1829 — when California was still part of Mexico — a few years after gaining independence from Spain.

So, Cinco de Mayo began as a Mexican-American holiday, not a Mexican one. In Mexico, it's really only celebrated in Puebla.

In the '60s, Chicano activists in the U.S. revived the holiday, using it as a call to solidarity for Civil Rights.

But by 1989, beer companies usurped the day, using it as a commercial opportunity to increase their revenues and began to market the day for white audiences, too. Now, it's mostly an excuse for college frats to get drunk and appropriate our culture without really thinking about Mexicans.

If you don't know or care what Cinco de Mayo really celebrates, if you haven't spent some time thinking about your own biases against Mexicans, if you don't know the history of lynchings and systemic discrimination against Mexicans in this country, if you avoid conversations about immigration or enter them in bad faith, if you don't know the human cost it took for Mexicans to change some fundamental labor laws in this country, or if you don't have any Mexican friends in your life, maybe you shouldn't celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

No matter what, avoid the sombrero. It's not yours to take.

Les Divisions

Dans son nouveau roman, Éric Halphen analyse l'onde de choc que provoque la séparation d'un footballeur et de son épouse qui l'accuse de violences conjugales. L'occasion pour le magistrat de détailler l'emballement médiatique.

  En deux mots Alors que sa carrière de footballeur professionnel touche à sa fin, Mehdi Azzam est sous le feu des projecteurs. Sa femme le quitte et porte plainte pour violences conjugales. Aussitôt, c’est le branle-bas de combat au sein des médias, des instances sportives et judiciaires, de la famille et des conseillers en tout genre.

A subtle way you can tell lestat is very selfish and ignorant about race, especially in ep 6 is that he said that they'd go to Argentina, a country which at the time was explicitly looking for white Europeans (including n*zis) to move there after spending decades pushing their black and Indigenous populations to the fringes of society to whiten up the country

#amc iwtv #iwtv #interview with the vampire #lestat de lioncourt #like i dont think hes doing it on purpose #i think he saw somewhere that takes Europeans and he sees claudia and louis as extensions of himself so if he'll be welcomed they'll be too #like i genuinely dont think he thought of moving somewhere that wasnt as segregated for the sake of louis or claudia #and to give the barest of credit. there wereny many places they could both go #lestat isnt allowed in europe cus of armand and them and louis and claudia cant move unencumbered through most of the us bc of segregation #like the only place they could go in the us at the time as an interracial family is ohio (only state with intteraccial marriage in 1940) #and they couldnt even be out there #so i understand leaving the country but picking a place that is already pushing its black population further into the fringes #is just another way to control the movements of louis and claudia. even if lestat doesnt realise or have that intent #like if they decide to leave him when theyre in Argentina theyre literally boned. especially in the 40s when all the n*zis are coming #and tou can see this in other parts of their relationship. like lestat is ok taking louis' to operas where louis has to be a valet to get in #he says that their money had protected them from legal backlash for being gay but not really for louis being black #lestat not getting the multiple microagressions from the lawyer #hell lestat even says “if he had offended you i would have killed him”. implying he doesn't believe that louis had a right to be offended #like lestat is ignorant to race especially in the american context and especially especially in other countries #hes white and french. they invented racism like there is a non 0 chance he saw saarah baartman displayed in a traveling circus in france #like i dont think he is outwardly racist like the alderman or tom but hes ignorant as hell. #he probably didnt see his first black person until he was 25

au cas où certains l'auraient oublié l'extrême droite c'est de la suprématie blanche assumée et éhontée, c'est considérer que le vivre ensemble avec des non-blancs est littéralement inacceptable et qu'en parler est une provocation. bref, c'est de la folie pure et de l'immoralité absolue

""Vous savez ce qu'a fait Mohammed Merah, ce n'est rien. Regardez bien les informations, je vais tuer. Je vais tuer". Cette phrase terrifiante a été prononcée le 28 avril lors d'une conversation téléphonique entre un chômeur et un membre du personnel de Pôle emploi. Ce mardi, cet homme de 37 ans a été placé en garde à vue par les gendarmes de la communauté de brigades de Cugnaux." (...) "Cet homme de 37 ans a été appréhendé ce mardi. En plus de l'appel malveillant, il est soupçonné d'avoir déposé une lettre à l'agence au cours du mois d'avril. Une missive sur laquelle il aurait comparé Emmanuel Macron à Adolf Hitler et Oussama Ben Laden. Lors de son audition, le mis en cause a pu s'entretenir avec un médecin psychiatre, qui a diagnostiqué une altération du discernement. Cela n'empêchera pas le tribunal de le juger vendredi, en comparution immédiate."

(Aussi sur Fb, 3 mai 2 023) Article de La Dépêche : “Toulouse : il menace un employé de Pôle emploi de le tuer "comme Mohammed Merah"“

So the most listened to (internationally) French artist happens to be a Black woman, her artist name is Aya Nakamura. She is the only woman in France in the top 20 of the most listened to artists. She was born in Mali (Bamako) came in France as a young child with her family and she now has the French citizenship.

She might be the one singing (a song from Edith Piaf) during the Olympics opening ceremony in France.

Again she is the most famous French artists right now internationally.

White people are putting signs saying “No way for Aya, this is Paris not the market of Bamako”. That’s how racist France is.

But wanna know the icing on the cake? The reaction of some politicians on the left. Sandrine Rousseau defending Aya by saying that it would give the image of a “tolerant and open” France. This is all about “image” they don’t want to stop being racists pieces of shit they want to be able to do it while still looking good and anti racists.

You say “this is Paris not Bamako” meanwhile when Black and Arabs undocumented workers went on strike the construction site of the Olympics had to fucking slow down and stop in some sites because there was enough undocumented workers on those construction sites that their absence meant not being able to continue.

You say “this is Paris not Bamako” meanwhile the only reason your health system hasn’t completely collapsed is because 1 doctor out of 4 is born abroad. Some of your hospitals would close without foreign doctors (Algerians represent almost 25% of the foreign doctors in France.

So you know what? This is Bamako. This is Algiers. This is Dakar. Without us you wouldn’t be a rich country. If you didn’t want us here you shouldn’t have colonized our people and shouldn’t keep looting our countries while financing corrupted governments, organizing assassinations of rulers who want to decolonize Africa and organizing uprising against them.

(P.S: Le premier qui vient défendre Sandrine Rousseau je le bloque ici on soutient la gauche révolutionnaire et porteuse de valises pas la gauche avec des relents de paternalisme colonial qui bégaie dès qu’il faut prendre position correctement contre le racisme)
