Rundown of the current protests, rioting and state crackdown that have erupted in France over the police murder of a 17 year old brown boy.

I've seen way too many Europeans on here insisting ACAB is just a USAmerican thing. It's really important y'all know that it isn't. Cops as an institution is fundamentally fascist, and in the Global North, white supremacist.

random question, but why do Algerians still hate the French? French Algeria hasn’t existed since 1962, so why so much hatred still?

First of all 1962 is 61 years ago. You’re saying it as if it was centuries ago and nobody was alive anymore. My grandparents who are very much alive Al hamdulilah were born under French colonialism. I’m 29 and I saw the consequences of French tortures on my great grandpa with my own eyes (they cut off some of his fingers) as I was lucky enough to meet him (he died when I was 8-9) This is not some ancient event that has no consequences anymore on people. It still has consequences on the country and on the people. Like you’re going to pretend that France didn’t have lynching against Algerians until the 90’s? You’re going to pretend anti Algerian racism is not so present in France that the French word for a racist attack/lynching (ratonnade) is not a mix between an anti Algerian slur and the word “beating”?

Now to answer your question.

We don’t hate the French they hate us that’s different. Algerians don’t give a flying fuck about France. Algerians would want few things more than pretend France doesn’t exist.

But France hate us and resent us for taking our independence. Are we supposed to stay silent when France says we should be grateful for colonialism? Are we supposed to stay silent when they say we should be apologizing not them? Are we supposed to stay silent when absolutely nobody got punished for what they did to Algerians and that they actually got rewarded? Are we supposed to stay silent when the remains of our ancestors (some of them children) are still kept and exposed in French museums despite asking to get them back? Are we supposed to stay silent when France still has our archives including the ones before they colonized Algeria and still refuse to give us those archives? Are we supposed to stay silent when they say the trauma of their colonizers grandparents leaving Algeria is worst than the trauma of our grandparents seeing their loved ones being killed, tortured, raped? Are we suddenly pretending transgenerational trauma doesn’t exist and that 132 years of colonialism and the denial of the horrors committed, worst than the denial switching the blame, has no consequences on Algerians today? My grandpa still sleeps with a shotgun because of the trauma. My father left Algeria because his mother was so traumatized by what the French did during the war of liberation (they killed one of her child, he wasn’t 2 years old yet) that when the civil war started she told my dad to leave cause she didn’t want to lose an other child.

Now do you plan on asking French people why they hate Algerians or do you keep your questioning to Algerians only? We don’t hate France but if we did we would have every single right to.

Lastly if I was a Jewish woman posting about Nazis Germany and antisemitism in present Germany as well as Neonazis would you have felt you have the right to ask me why I still have issues with it cause it happened in 1945? Unless you’re a racist scum you wouldn’t have done it cause you know how horrific the holocaust was and how fucked up it would be to question the feelings of descendants of survivors (I’m still giving you the benefit of the doubt maybe your ask was genuine and you didn’t know any better). So why do you think you have the right to question how Algerians feel about France?

the worst part about being from a very deeply mixed family with parents that are super in denial is being super into looking into your own heritage & family cultures and then you have 1 conversation w your parents ...... and youre reminded of the dull reality that they think theyre crackers

#burger labs.txt #this shit exhausting dawg #even on their legal documents when they immigrated to the us they put white not hispanic #newsflash.......that is a Lie. they are not the WASPs they believe themselves to be #whats even funnier is my dad at least acknowledges he's hispanic #he's open about how he partly grew up in spain with his hispanic grandparents etc but on all his shit he refuses to put hispanic #he wont even put white hispanic. bro wants to be french and only french so bad #which is. just such a bummer given his ALGERIAN KABYLE FATHER #and also his very unspoken about central asian heritage #he only brings up the uzbek & kazakh heritage when its funny #similarly my mom only brings up my dad's algerian heritage to poke fun at him #..girl you are algerian too ! Dont even start

#@anon #You know one of the things that people tend to do but absolutely not in favour of Palestinian resistance and liberation movement is #the condemnation of resilients and freedom fighters #it is really not the pro Palestinian stance #The liberation movement is not a peaceful one #ask the million martyred Algerian to liberated their land from french occupation #The people of Palestine are able to rise against their oppressor and are able to organise and to lead their liberation movement and have #their freedom fighters #USA or any western nation categorizing these resistance mouvements as terrorist its well their own racist shit #In the words of Refaat Alareer may he rest in power: #“Saying Hamas is a tool of Israel is saying the Vietnam fighters were a tool of America The Warsaw ghetto rebels a tool of the Nazis” #Black freedom fighters a tool of the slave owners And the indigenous peoples of America a tool of the European colonisers etc etc #and he was so right #Palestine #gaza #genocide
