How can a country that hails Josephine Baker take the racist Zemmour seriously? | Kenan Malik

  1. For what it’s worth, Zemmour himself said he considered Josephine Baker as an exemple for all immigrants for how ” french” she became. He said ” Joséphine Baker est l’exemple de la réussite du modèle d’assimilation à l’ancienne que je veux restaurer».

    And as others redditors said, there are many opinions in France.
    Take the USA : their latests presidents were Obama, Trump and Biden…

  2. >African Americans may have felt free in France, but for others, freedom was as circumscribed as it was for blacks in America.

    Dire ça à l’époque de la ségrégation raciale, franchement faut pas s’étouffer. J’étais prêt à m’intéresser à un point de vue externe mais je peux pas continuer après ça.

  3. How can a country that is completely unable to manage its own issues with racism and xenophobia try to give lesson to its closest neighbour?
