Aren't these more conservative/far right party doing the protests? From what I understand it's tension because the more liberal candidate, Macron, won and people were pissed because the conservative campaign kept blaming immigrants for the country's problems. It didn't help Macron upped the retirement age.

Anyways, the main difference is once America puts that call into the National Guard, everybody calms down - the police and the protestors. That's why that kind of stuff doesn't get to that point here.

If enough Americans take to the streets like France even the National Guard won't be able to calm them down. Remember national guard is state funded so some of their own family will be in the streets rioting too.

If they call the full on military then I don't know.

I believe I see white and black all races rioting in these videos. Their main thing is they dislike the government so they put that before their racism( which France also has an issue with) but Americans put racism first before anything else lol.

Just my thoughts on the matter.

I think Harlem writer James Baldwin went over to Paris for a while because he felt like he could work as a writer there more easily than in the US.
Pretty much every black musician, poet, actor, thespian went over to Europe during these times and realized they were treated significantly better. They said they felt human. They much preferred doing shows in Europe than say a Copa Cabana where they had to enter through the help doors or use a black only bathroom or drink from a colored water fountain.

I went to Germany in 2002 and went all through Europe (France, Italy, Luxembourg, England etc... sampling all that Lord put forth there..... The finest broads there, IME, were called "war babies". Pretty much mixed with black and the black father or mother went back to the states.

In my experience as a black man I felt more comfortable in Europe than IN AmeriKKKa. I have been called ****** 3 times in my life. ALL in SFL when I was not even yet a teen.
