I dont want to get into an argument here, but the white French are pretty cool with the Jews,blacks,Arabs, etc and vice versa,the two guys I kicked it with the most in France were a French Jew and an Algerian, they were the best of friends, the Jewish cat even arranged a job for me back in the states. France is cool.

There is much more of an openess in regards to racial matters out there that actually kills the racism. Of course there is going to be some knuckle heads out there to fuck it up and the media will jump on it.

Prove it's not there.

As far as circumstantial evidence goes:

I didn't read your response, just Bbobb's. But, um, yeah, you're welcome, I guess. You knew your statement was dumb in the first place, glad you got that out of the way.

I certainly get the impression that there's a lot less racial tension in France than in America. The world cup victory in 1998 certainly represented France's 'Black Blanc Beur' face also.

Would you rather be black/hispanic in America or Jewish in France?

French in America or American in France?

A vote for Le Pen does not mean that the person actually believes in that repulsive little man's policies, it's called desperation. Unemployment in France has been too high for over a decade and people feel failed by the system. For most it's a wake up call for the government to make them listen. Nobody wants Le Pen to be prime minister but it certainly gave the left something to think about.

This is pretty sad, too - the French express their dislike of their socialist economy by...voting for an anti-semite and hating America. Makes sense, right? How about losing the fucking 35 hour work week, lowering taxes, and getting half a clue?

Most of those articles refer to some of Len Pen's bullshit or attacks by muslims on jews due to Israel's actions. Marseille has a huge immigrant population so sadly there is bound to be tension in times like these.

So you have failed to prove this so called anti-semitism in France. The actions of few do not represent the whole country.

Hell, if you told me you thought I was intelligent, I'd wonder what I was doing wrong. So, good to know I'm progressing in the right direction.

EDIT: Post deleted because I wasn't here when the initial post went down.

EDIT AGAIN: Okay so it appears that what's his face read Stones post but was presumptious in thinking.

So, what, until the BBC prints some article titled "54% of French Citizens say they would like to "kick a Jew down a flight of stairs"" French anti-semitism doesn't exist? Hear no evil, see no evil, eh? Good to see that you're carrying on a national tradition. (Ooh, I'm a bigot.)

And there's dipshits like that everywhere. A memorial for troops who died was vandalized where I live. If I knew who it was I would definitely beat them in the face with a large wooden bat.
