to keep it short, the far right wing racist party (le pen) was actually voted into power a few yrs ago. but they had a re election and covered it up saying most ppl didnt vote

1. Regarding the bolded: Le Pen was NOT voted in power, he finished SECOND behind Chirac (you might want to read the link you shared)
2. Regarding the underscored: If you knew anything about French politics, you would know that presidential elections have always been decided in two rounds. It's not a "re election", it's the second round of the election, just like every single presidential election that has taken place in France.

Any more :duck: you wanna share with us?

it was 12yrs ago, so spare my memory

but "finishing SECOND" is just as bad as first. :camby:


we're talking about a far right wing party (sophisticated kkk) :mindblown:



How does this rise to such prominence without fuel to the fire :aicmon:



muthafukkers gotta stop defending white supremacy



thats basically what this thread boils down to. Those ignorant to white supremacy and those not ignorant to white supremacy

France is racist and will always be racist. Just like England, just like America *insert the rest of the colonizers* No point defending that of which is chiseled in stone

It's a good thing there will always be a place for us in the Islamic world.

Yeah why should a black person be so concerned with racism? omg! Get a grip! I should freely travel the world without worrying about a thing! Russia seems like a safe place for black folks. Brb getting airplane ticket:

I reported the extremely offensive post above

Considering we was speaking of race relations in Europe 100 years ago, this post was unnecessary and uncalled for.

Way to move goalposts. I won't "spare your memory" when you're posting bullshyt breh, AND posting a wikipedia link you obviously didn't even take time to read. Comparing the FN to a "sophisticated KKK" now? :dead:

black love, unity, and music
If you think that sums up French aggression against Africans go pick up a book

Also the rest haven part is a lie, the french army in both world wars was segregated. In comparison to the German and Russian armies which were not

Many well traveled black intellects of the time Padmore, Robeson etc spoke of france in the early 20th century with great disgust in regards to racial discrimination.

This is fukking nonsense. Robeson, Richard wright, and countless other musicians thrived in france during the early 1900s. Stop it breh.

Whut so you're finally coming ? Is it definitive or you're gonna change your mind in a few months :lolbron:

Anyway,
How's the food there?
Can't answer to that. There are some nice restaurants there are some averages ones and some shytty ones. Like everything just go on critics site to know about the restaurant's rep but usually I'm pretty satisfied when I'm eating out.

Fast foods are good IMO. I know Mickey D has a bed rep in the US but here, it's proper. You have Quick which the belgian McDo (fries are better, burgers smaller but I feel like they taste better. Burger King has finally come back to France since last year but there are only a couples ones in France and two in Paris.

How much is a teacher's salary (English teacher)?
A starter begins nicely but progress slowly. I think somebody fresh out of teaching school is paid like 1500 € ($2K a month) and teachers have also plenty of bonuses (cheaper apartments and a lifetime job among others) but they don't choose where they'll go teaching, it's the state that tell them where they'll go. Usually, a young teacher will teach in a tough area.

What's the minimum amount of French I need to know to be able to live there for 8 months?
At least be able to ask for things when you go shopping or to the boulangerie for your bread. If you can understand most of what you hear but you can't really talk French fluently you'll be good. Just know the basics.

Will I be able to secure Arab tings?
Lulz. There are plenty of Arab (but I know you mean muslim) brehettes, don't worry.

What are the gun laws?
Illegal unless you have an hunting permit. But you can find them in the black market if you're bout that life.

Do all the cars really look like Scions?
They look like european cars.

Will I need a car if I'm gonna be there for 8 months?
If you stay in Paris or in the closer outskirts, nope. Because transportation is efficient.

Any slang I need to know?
If you want to understand your pupils yeah. The ones you need to know I can't tell because it differs depending where you are in the Parisian area.

lol many black musicians thrived in USA in the early 1900s, I guess that makes racial discrimination in the USA invalid right?

I'd suggest looking into the civil rights struggle in France, they have a deep history of black movements over there

White supremacy is global, thinking otherwise is uncivilized. Let alone a country of grave imperialist action like France

The French are generally obnoxious... It's not surprise that everyone hates them in Europe.
They love high-spending American tourists though:jawalrus:
