    Did you been discriminated in France and America because of your brown / dark skin ?

      @francemakabu  10 месяцев назад +11

      Unfortunately yes! I had a job as a cashier at a grocery store in the rural parts of France and people didn’t want me to scan their items. In the US I had a couple of incidents. For example, one time a man called me the N word just for walking next to him on a public sidewalk. Another time some neighbors called the police on me because i was jogging on the road 😩

    France is a much better place to be if your black. While both the US and France have their own set of problems, The situation in France is over 400 times better than in the states. Unlike the US, France never enacted or enforced de jure (government imposed racism) against lawfully free people/citizens. Such acts such as the Jim Crow laws were not just legalized racism. They were racism mandates that were enforced by government and its agencies against lawfully free people or US citizens (post slavery). Humans aren't naturally racist. It has nothing to do with whether a country is homogeneous or not in terms of race. In the US de facto (in the street) racism stems from de jure racism. The government required the segregation of schools in order to teach and groom the de jure superior race to hate the de jure inferior race. This is what often causes the "fear thy neighbor" scenario, which doesn't really exist in France. While de facto discrimination does exist in France, it's nothing like the situation in the US. In France, it's just who likes you vs who doesn't. No country wide culture/system/violence like in the states. As a mixed African-American, I was treated 85 times better in France than in the US. This had nothing to do with me being American, as the Americans tend to tell the big fat lie about France, which is that the French are rude. When I went there, not a rule sole was there. I also used to work with blacks from France and they told me they had similar experiences as me. I also got to interact with some locals in France of multiple ethnicities, they told me the exact same story.
    France also never had organized racism like the KKK.
    Unlike the US, France doesn't collect racial stats. Believe it or not, this is actually a good thing because, don't forget that in the US, the people who collect racial data, are those who invented racism, government. Worse than that, they put a name with it. This is how people get pulled over for driving while black. All they have to do is run the tag number and all the data is right there in front of them. In France, the cops must see their target in person. Another advantage of France is that the government didn't administratively segregate the population by race or religion. So, in France, finding a black is like finding a needle in a haystack, in the US, everything is on the government imposed map.
    Even police brutality is different in France. In the US, most is targeted to minority neighborhoods where people are just trying to make it in life normally; whereas, in France, most police brutality is survivable and the bulk of it occurs during or near sites of protests. It also more evenly affects the races (not not in al 100% manner though). Even there, it's still a huge problem an needs work.
    Fun fact: During the darkest days of Jim Crow. Wealthier African-Americans fled to France to escape de jure and deadly American racism.

    I talked to a lot of black ppl in France. They like black Americans...but it seems like they dislike the dark skin ppl. Even though I've talked to black france ppl....they are pretty mean to me...but they are nice to my friends. I left the room to use the bathroom and I can hear the ppl from France talked about me like I was the most horrific looking person in that room. My friend ask why....they said omg he is so black. No worries.... I've heard it all my life. It's not a difference in America. They cool....but I wouldn't fit in. Beautiful place though.

      @@jermaineparker3235 it's mainly because black is not a monolith group. All black people don't came from the same country even more in Europe. It's not like in America where they pretty much have the same culture. I'm Europe all black people have differents cultures from each other and also religions. A congolese is not going to be the same to a black french Islander, a Nigerian or a black American. We are not the same. Many Christian black actually quite don't like to be around muslim black. They don't like them and they will just ignore them.
      I'm french, congolese born, and many black people don't like to see their kids being around other black kids even more if there was some issues like stupid drama and such (like "you stole my husband" kind of shit. The main reason you will see a black kid in France with an other black kid is because they have the same country origins or because their parents are friends or family.

That's exactly how it was when I was growing up in the U.S. I NEVER expected to wear wigs before turning like 50 or 60+! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 So, actually, this is something that started with the younger generation in the U S., probably around the mid- New Millennium (2000's). 😕🤷🏽‍♀️

    Je trouve le sujet intéressant, dommage que ce soit aussi court parce qu'il y a beaucoup de choses à dire. Je te rejoins sur certains points notamment, pour les cheveux et la méconnaissance de la France pour les cheveux des femmes noires. Par contre, la discrimination est bien là. Mais comme tu dis, elle ne se ressent pas quand on vit en banlieue.
    J'aurai rajouté une cinquième catégorie, celle de l'amour. J'entends par là le regard qu'ont les hommes noirs envers les femmes noires. En France, il n'est pas toujours positif et on a tendance à nous mettre rapidement dans la case de «sœurs». Cela est sûrement différent au States. En tout cas je l'espère.

    In France when you come to an appointment for a new job, it is customary to dress well out of respect and pilitesse towards your interlocutor. It is not your personality or your intrinsic qualities that are judged at that time. But if you do not make the effort to dress well when it is customary, it is permissible to doubt the respect you have for the company or the person who receives you. That doesn’t mean you have to show up in a suit unless the job requires it. A city dress is usually enough. How can you say that you would have been discriminated against if you had lived elsewhere or if you had another job. What are you basing yourself on? It is true that in France there are racists as everywhere else. However, you may be more open to being discriminated against by your attitude rather than by your ethnicity. This is what many people in neighborhoods in France (and I was one of them) who think they are suffering from racism, do not understand.

    Interesting comments. Thank you. I was interested in your comments on discrimination in the US and in France. I am French/African American man and lived extensively in both countries. I am writing a book on my experiences in those countries as well as other countries I have lived in. It is a mixture of different experiences vis a vis racism around the world. On the subject of discrimination, we have not had the same impression. In France people are more tolerent of people with a high melanin content but discriminate against middle eastern people. They also are very unaware, do not care or do not seem to place much interest in the ten of thousands of Africans who drown in the Mediterranean sea while attempting to reach Europe. I would love to have your comments on Africa. Did you spend much time there and do you feel that Africans are racists vis a vis lighter skins europeans and ethnic groups on the continent?

      France doesn't "really" have racial discrimination, given race being defined by natural human body characteristics. Most acts of discrimination in France are religious connotated, which is NOT the same same as racial discrimination, as it is possible for one to change or even lie about/hide their religion. Many people just blur the line between the two, which is dumb.

    I don't know people just like traveling and living where they find a suitable lifestyle. I think the main reason people complain so much about racism in the USA is because of the media and very small percentage of people complain to other people world wide, overall the entire people of America have people from the entire world and people look bad on any group who says things like white this black that when talking in a bad way and not addressing there own color of people like themselves. So for instance here in America people like to be many ways introverted piece of mind not want attention and don't like others almost yelling when they talk. Ok yet other people like to be extroverted always attention seeking and talking so load you can hear them clear when not even near. Overall America has mixed people of any color and family nomatter where you go in America, no one listens to negative people anymore, that's why negative people are so jealous, almost everyone is mixed in some type of way in America nowdays.

    I loved the black women when I lived in Washington DC. But what compromising, what make it vicious in the US is that this country is competitive everywhere and everything is based on money. But I don't like here that you imply, if you would had gotten a higher job position you would probably have been more discriminated against because you are a black girl. How can you just pretend and ascertain while you have not lived the situation. It is commenting things like that encourage racism and contributes to it. That's why I will stop watching the video and certainly you can stay in the US and not come back in France, we won't regret you here.

    This is a personal perspective and it is interesting.... You don't talk about all possibilities of discrimination, but the employment perspective was valid.

      @@andre1987eph Perspective is important. American Black people in Japan are not that offended by the xenophobia or racism of Japanese people. The reason is that there is no prior nasty history between American Blacks and Japanese. IN addition, the Japanese racism has a component rooted in naive ignorance and curiosity. Jamaicans were slaves just like American blacks. However, they grew up not seeing themselves as perennially oppressed. When Jamaicans come to America they navigate society quite well because they do not have the mindset of a perennial victim. Jamaicans and Nigerians simply have better self esteem because they did not grow up in a country where the media and politicians told them they were going nowhere 24/7 due to dark skin.
