If the problem of racism in American discourse is typified by the N-word
outburst of comedian Michael Richards followed by his abject apology, the
French variant is altogether more toxic. The latest outrage came from
second-string TV personality and self-appointed social commentator Pascal
Sevran, whose recently published book included the obscenely racist idea
that the "black [penis] is responsible for famine in Africa." Elaborating
in a newspaper interview, Sevran said, "Africa is dying from all the
children born there" to parents supposedly too sexually undisciplined or
dumb to realize they could not feed them all. The answer to the
problem? "We need sterilize half the planet," Sevran emphatically
replied. Known as an relentless attention-seeker, the defiant Sevran drew
only limited fire for his comments, and a public rebuke from his public
television employer — though not the cancellation of his Sunday program
that many demanded. Appalled at the light punishment, the government of
Niger (itself a victim of recent famines) announced it would file libel
charges against Sevran in French courts.
Sevran's prurient opinions are but the latest addition to the growing
racist chatter in the French mainstream. A month earlier, a Socialist
political kingpin in the Montpellier region sparked fury — and possible
expulsion from the party — by lamenting that France's national soccer team
fielded "9 blacks out of 11" starting players. "I'm ashamed of this
country," in which "the whites are lousy," he groused, and would soon be
fielding teams "where all 11 players are black." That echoed a comment a
year earlier by philosopher Alain Finkelkraut, who — seeking to explain
the 2005 rioting by youths descended from immigrants in France's suburbs —
made allusion to France's "white-black-Arab" soccer side that won the 1998
World Cup and became an icon of French social integration. " Today, [the
team is] black-black-black, and it's the laughingstock of
Europe," Finkelkraut complained.
Even some black Frenchmen have joined the bigoted chorus: In November, the
black comic known as Dieudonn? made a conspicuous appearance at the annual
congress of Jean-Marie Le Pen's National Front party — much to the
pleasure of extreme-rightists looking to lose their racist stigma without
changing their xenophobic positions. For the last two years, the
self-described leftist Dieudonn? had outdone even Le Pen in Jew-baiting,
delivering a series of brazenly anti-Semitic remarks, belittling the
Holocaust and depicting Jews as racist persecutors of blacks and
Arabs. Though that earned him general condemnation, Dieudonn?'s
high-profile fraternizing with a party treated as a pariah by most French
minorities and voters indicated that he, too, was looking for a more
effective manner to promote his divisive positions. His flirtation with Le
Pen found support from Ahmed Moualek, a blogger and influential voice from
France's blighted suburban housing projects who said he'd rather debate
with "an intelligent racist than with a stupid anti-racist," noting that
while Le Pen's "language can at times shock people, he's an honest man."
The rising torrent of racist language and publicly expressed racist
attitudes may be a sign less that racism is spreading, than that the
boundaries of mainstream tolerance are changing. As in the U.S., France
has seen an increase in provocative shock content in entertainment and
commentary, whether for comic effect or political impact. Interior
Minister and presidential hopeful Nicolas Sarkozy drew protests when he
used a racially loaded term to denounce young men rioting in the suburbs
last year — an outcry that also coincided with his jump in polls. The
street patois of those ethnically diverse projects, meanwhile, has also
long contained its own racially aggressive "shock" element, with the
rejoinder "ta race" (your race) a kind of generic, all-purpose
slight. Clearly, the political "filter" in the U.S. public square that
prompts a Michael Richards or a Mel Gibson to grovel apologetically
following publicly recorded racial insults is considerably less developed
in France. Indeed, last year's riots were a stark reminder of how poorly
France has done in integrating its diversity, remaining locked in an
officially "color-blind" national ideology that often simply avoids
confronting the problems of racial inequality. France counts no blacks or
Arabs as members of parliament, and its corporate boardrooms don't fare
much better.
France rejects affirmative action as incompatible with its republican
ideals of color-blind equality for all citizens. Nice in theory, but
that's not working in practice: discrimination continues, inequality is
rife, and notions of color-blindness don't square with the rising chorus
of racially loaded commentary. Color-blindness may also function to keep
France blind to racial discrimination and inequality, but the rising tide
of anger in the projects and racist chatter in the mainstream suggests
that the French may soon have no choice but to openly confront what
color-blindness prefers not to see.

This is why Time magazine sucks and people are abandoning the mainstream
media- it's nothing but PC pabulum. Boring, predictable, conforming,
whiney.
