Molenir, which part of it is crap? The anti Mexican racism, Americans living beyond their means, the world no longer regard America with any respect, the limited understanding of many ordinary Americans about the rest of the world?? Which part?

Being in the military does not make you more qualified to be anything other than that you have been in the Military. Some of the most effective leaders in the last century had no military experience. Please lets not go crazy on this military service and its value to run the country.

Just imagine Palin in a serious debate with Obama. The fact that the Republicans see Palin as the savior of the party speaks volumes about how confused they are.
Helter_Skelter: Broun is the guy who claims that Obama will turn America into a Marxist state. He then went on to make comparisons between Obama and Adolf Hitler. How rational is this guy?

skipthesong: I thought the issue was about France, now it is being fused with black people in California. All that pent-up neurosis you have long entertained about black people in general are being revealed here in your post. What is this nose drip about your own community? I live in Australia!
So you have been jumped on by some moronic black people and now it is the fault of all black people and that is the justification to fear them.
This is indeed the kind of challenged logic that promotes hatred and fear of a particular group. A fixed notion that seek to paint an entire group of people with the same brush based on a very narrow perspective.
The overwhelming majority of black people are law abiding citizens who do not subscribe to the lyrics contained in those gangster raps music, nor would I make generalizations about whites on the basis that their kids have spent millions of dollars purchasing gangster rap records.
The narrative about my friends' experiences in France deserved to be told. It was indeed their experience. After nearly 300 applications that never went anywhere and the common factor was the silence that came after the photos were sent. These guys were not gang bangers or gangster rappers. They deserved a chance because they had worked hard. Why on earth do they have to be subjected to the lunatic fears of white people about blacks. If anyone should be scared then I suggest it should be black people based on the experiences they have had in dealing with whites since their contact.
I am going to let this go for now as you clearly don't really understand the issue

rurika: What are you trying to say? That black people's families don't really teach them any real values. That somehow black people collectively have fallen well short of placing enough value on education? Let me categorically state that you are wrong! Africans in general have a ferocious appetite for education. They also have an amazing capacity to learn languages. Now I don't know if it comes from family re -enforcement or just plain personal observations of the benefits on their part. I suppose you are the expert on black people.
Black people it appears are the most marginalized group on the planet. It comes mainly from the fact that they are naturally feared without justification. As far as your question is concerned I suppose you will have to ask the French people as to why they choose to discriminate against them more that any other group.

bushlover: you are amazing! "Typical of how black men think" So you know how most black men think? Why? Because you are black.
Please collect yourself. You can make all kinds of ridiculous pronouncements about the absence of racism and it being the victims fault because they overreact.
I am happy that your views are not typical but more social and political contrivances, which don't mean crap in the real world where victims of racism are being made everyday. Before the net came along opinions like yours were normally confined to small town journals with a largely challenged readership. Or perhaps being exposed by a group of emaciated rednecks struggling to find a voice.
The reality is that we did not have to worry about them because of our capacity to forgive and more importantly, no body really took them seriously.
The two black men I mentioned have left France after two years of trying and moved on to have successful careers elsewhere. They just simply got tired of watching other white students they outperformed academically find employment well ahead of them.

The idea that minority groups actively refuse to integrate is just plain false. It is essential the usual line that the dominant society spit out in order to justify their behavior. Integration is a two way process of which a degree of acceptance is a critical component. It you cant find a job and is basically shun and marginalized by the wider society then those people will tend to look inward for acceptance and comfort.
Cos, my view about French society stands because it is a statement of fact. France in every sense has a two tiered system that undermines minority aspirations. Two black friends of mine highly skilled professionals trained in France had to leave the country to gain meaningful employment. They were both lawyers, and after two years of being rejected by organizations who made a decision based on their photos they left France. The process would go like this; They would call the company to have a brief conversation about the role. As they spoke perfect French the company would then express a desire to interview them but required a photo with the application. After the photo was received that would be the last they hear about it.

Helter_Skelter:Racism is usually perpetrated by those who are in power or is essentially in possession of the means of power. That extend to control of the natural resources, the means of violence, education or access to opportunities. It is done more often to serve the financial or social interest of that dominant group. Apartheid South Africa, Nazi Germany, America for most of its history are some examples.
To use your term "black people gets a free pass on it" because they have largely never been in control of these symbols of power, and for these reasons have had a long and violent history of racism and exploitation at the hands of white people. Whichever way you want to look at it that is a fact.
History, tradition, past experience or whatever you want to call it has placed white people as a group in the seat of the perpetrator. These radical black people's rhetoric like the ones you mention is a manifestation of the way they have been treated. They are angry and at the same time neurotic about their experience. It is the result the enduring trauma that is racism. White people have nothing to complain about
