MightyHolyWarrior,
You have a very strange way of excusing the conduct of your "white masters"! I cannot see you as anything outside an "Uncle Tom"! There are a number of people (of all Races) who would rather spit on you because you are such a "kiss ass"!

Xeno-x, I just looked up your profile which refreshed my memory of who you
are.
So, check it out, dude, I strongly suggest that you avoid discussing matters -- such as the "black experience" in America -- that you have absolutely no first-hand knowledge of.
Also, Xeno-x, you had better adjust your skirt -- because your racist slip is showing.

Xeno-x, are you as narrow-minded and uninformed as you are coming off, or
are you putting on an act? And by way, what race are you?

Xeno-x, I grew up on Mars; thus, I am way out of touch with what is going
here on earth.

fymystic, what do you think I am, a damned fool? Chances are, I was well
aware of how "whitey over here" feels about blacks before you were even born.

it also sounds like you
are defending the South's racists.
because you said "your country", and the South was certainly a part of "your country" back then.
It really looks like you grew up outside the mainstream reality of a lot of folks of your race.

odd -- in 1967
a lot of African Americans agreed with the French.
so you are saying Martin Luther King shouldn't have marched
and that Rosa Parks did not have a valid reason for what she did?
I don't know where you grew up -- it wasn't where a lot of African Americans grew up.
even today -- many feel discriminated against.
now, of course, you weren't in the same situation as a lot of your brothers and sisters.
or do you consider them your brothers and sisters?

MHW - how many Americans think like the French, bra?
you put down the French, but whitey over here thinks exactly the same way. France is burning at the moment. How many times has America burned at the hands of the colored?

ariel70, you are exactly right about "revolutions" being a form of French
art.
In fact, centuries ago, les franAsais proved they are the masters of carrying out revolts and other kinds of resurrections.

A good post, as always. Thank you.
It's a bit misleading to extrapolate anything from riots and violence in France, 'cos, as we all know civil commotions and insuurections of one kind or another are endemic to France. Hell, they've made it an art form since 1789!
I suspect that those long drawn our " wars " with French truck drivers stopping, stripping, and even firing British trucks went largely unremarked in the States But such stuff is an integral part of Jacque's character, I guess

Reni, I know I'm making a sweeping generalization here, but during my
travels all over the world, the French are the most obnoxious, self-absorbed people I have ever encountered.

Talion, back in the day, the late '60s and early '70s, the "race war"
was so intense at times that quite often, many of us thought that the whole thing would end up causing America to collapse from within.
Those were some tough times, my young brother.

Exactly. My mother was eight months pregnant with me here in Memphis when King was killed and the city erupted into flames. I didn't witness those turbulent times firsthand, but the recounts as told to me by my family is more poignant than any history book or documentary ever could be. It's enough to recognize what happened here then is remarkably similar to what's happening there now.

Talion, what is happening in France today is somewhat similar to what
happened in the US back in the 1960s and early 1970s, which was a time when a considerable number of American blacks were being treated in ways similar to the ways that the "coloreds" are being treated in France today.

When so many of a certain type of people are pushed to the point where they simply cease to care about anything, including themselves, it's a clear indication of a larger unspoken problem. Rioting and such is no justification, but it's the effect. Will they be honest when explaining the cause? Somehow, I don't think so.
