"Black Americans, don't be surprised if someone slyly offers you 'niggerheads' for dessert: They're racist as all get-out in France. They just won't admit it - even to themselves - just ask the Jews.

But, of course, they demand that Americans must have a black president, while France doesn't have a black anything. They don't even like printing the word 'black' in newspapers. Hell, I once went to the equivalent of a Home Depot in France and they didn't even have black paint!"

"In a country that takes pride and expends considerable energy to ensure that the principle of "egalite" (equality) is strictly adhered to, there are some racial references practically embedded in the language and culture here.

"Negre" is the N-word in France, and it is used in ways that would raise eyebrows elsewhere. A "negre," for example, is a ghostwriter in French, "tete de negre" is the name for a chocolate pastry, and "petit negre" is the way one refers to poor or pidgin French."

I don't know what I was thinking, America. 

The liberals must've got to me.

Maybe - if we tone down the rhetoric - then, together, we can once again re-establish that "common ground" we used to have, regarding the issue of race, in America. I'll go first:

"A convenience store owner in Miami Gardens, Fla., installed 16 cameras in his Quickstop a year ago. The aim was not to surveil shoppers, but rather the police repeatedly harassing the store’s black workers.

One employee, 28-year-old Earl Sampson, has been stopped by cops 258 times in four years, searched more than 100 times and arrested 56 times. The most serious offense Sampson has ever been found to have committed throughout all these stops was low-level marijuana possession. He has even been stopped dozens of times by cops for 'trespassing' in the store where he works."

And they got it on tape:

So - we can agree "things are improving" now - yes?
