How's this "racist" if France acknowledges Human "Races"? Do you understand that there's a clear difference between Race in French and in English?
After the Declaration of Human Rights, in 1789, France officially doesn't believe in Races.
Do not compare it to the complicated history of Blacks in America and the Algerian Case.
Watch the video that I linked that tackles France not recognising race. It is absolute BS.
When France signed the Declaration of Human Rights, they were still a slave-owning state. When they outlawed it in 1848, they just continued indentured labour which was glorified slavery until the 1960's.
France had a bigger slave issue than the US, they crippled Haiti's economy to this day through reparations because they refused continued slavery. 122 years of debt payments by the French turned one of the richest colonies in the world into the disaster it is today.
France had psuedo-slavery in all of its colonies well into the 20th century and effectively shunned its victims until extremely recently.
As far as I know, the 5th Republic doesn't recognise Vichy's Regime, while it is legitimate to talk about the Sedif Massacre, it's dishonesty of you saying that "we are not taught enough about Colonialism" while you took the 2005 example (do you understand that School Programs change each other years, and ever since "l'Ecole de la Méthode" in late 19h, early 20th centuries, we teach children about France's History with less of a "Roman National" for a "Vérité Historique"?)
I used the 2005 legislation example to show the thinking of the political class in France. The fact that such a legislation got majority support is baffling. The fact that Chiraq still had no chance of repealing it through the National Assembly despite the backlash is also flabbergasting.
Anyhow, as of "L'Afrance" (French-African team) is another pegorative term from retarded football right wingers, and Trevor Noah doesn't have any clue of actual French's Geopoliics in Africa, besides a few known Scandals.
He discusses the term having an alt-right meaning but his main point was about France's so-called national "colour-blindness".
