I wrote my thesis on parts of this and i am an immigrant in France. Today in France no demographic info is taken by the government on race or ethnicity: you are expected to be French before absolutely anything else. The Republic comes before religion, family, country of origin etc. You’re explaining this perfectly.

As a black French person, thank you!🙏 I’m from Guadeloupe and even though we have political demands because of our history. I find it extremely offensive when non-French people question whether or not I’m French…

When my husband and I toured Versailles we sat in the garden and the palace and kept saying "well we know why the French Revolution happened" - the wealth disparities that exist don't have to happen. I'm glad younger generations actually want different.

Well if I was born in China and my parents are white - would the Chinese REALLY think I’m Chinese ? No

Everyone forgets the French Revolution didn’t even work because they had the Bourbons afterwords. Like they had to keep doing it 😅

Also people talk about blacks in France as an anomaly which is very weird because they’ve always been there. One of Napoleon’s generals was black. Some of the most famous French literature (the count of montecristo, and the three musketeers) were written by a black french man. We have famous classical black french artists also. Surely they were not the norm, but they werent exactly outside the landscape either. When it comes to “french arabs” as well, one has to understand that for about 125 years Algeria was an integral part of France, not just a colony, it was literal French territory. Albert Camus, french literature nobel laureate, was born in Algeria. Jean Luc Melenchon was born in Morocco. This is why even in French politics, some of the most far right figures that are anti-immigrant all have north african names and ancestry: Eric Zemmour, Sarah Knafo, Cyril Hanouna and Jean Messiah are respectively Algerian, Tunisian, Moroccan and Egyptian… and they’re all super far right public figures that have hard anti-immigration stances lol. So from a French perspective, there isnt really a debate around immigration regarding recent protests.

very well explained, I just wanted to add that in between those five republics we've also had a couple of empires, a constitutional monarchy and the collabo Vichy government, so more than 5 overhauls😂

I would argue that French colonization practices went against being the og of human rights

You also forgot to mention that France has no money. France was just kicked out of its west African colonies 3 years ago. Up until 3 years ago they were allowed to mine minerals and were also collecting colonial taxes from countries like Burkina Faso. They have been cut off. There is no money. The economy has fallen. What are they fighting for? Where is the money to come from?

And they said all those books I randomly read on the French and the French Revolution was pointless. 😁 I understood all the points you were making.

There’s a fundamental difference between American and French democracy: we have different ideas about where rights come from. In the American tradition, your rights are inherent. The government doesn’t give them to you, you have them before government, and government exists to protect them. That’s the natural-rights tradition behind the American Republic. France has a different constitutional tradition, where rights are defined and guaranteed through the republican state. And that difference matters when you ask, Why isn’t America protesting like France? We’re not operating from exactly the same conception of liberty.
