Congrats to Jokic on winning the bronze. Would've beat France too, but got the bad draw. I hope one day normal Americans will realize that draw is just a myth. It doesn't exist lol

I'm not going to muddy this thread even more and delve into the socioeconomic impact of refugees in Europe, I'll just point out the big fray with the Curry family was president Macron was in the vicinity and the Curry family were being ping-ponged around the place and French police acted with more aggression towards the brown woman holding an infant than the English police did to the race rioters that took over their country. would Ayesha's infant have been attacked if she did not look North African and instead looked like, say, Emmanuel Macron's teacherwife? I'll leave it to the more discerning of NT to make that call. To move it here on popular (GBG's) request. If there is a video of an incident please share here. I wouldn't be surprised if they gave them instructions in French, they didn't understand and didn't react trying to get an explanation in English, police made physical contact, like grabbing an arm (no excess force and pointing, not really considered an issue in many EU countries and as far as I know in US you tend to put much bigger emphasis on non-consensual physical contact of such kind) and that triggered escalation. I would be more inclined to readout the story the way you are if it was some other EU country or some other certain areas of France. Regarding protests: Again don't compare English police to French police. Do you know why almost all French protests turn into riots? No it's not the protesters. One of the tactics of breaking up the protests is to instigate an incident and that give police the right to intervene. Most police would use this tactic only as a last result, and only in high impact situations by minority protestors (e.g. 2 dozen protestors blocking a major highway for a long period...) French police is different - they actively seek and instigate incidents, and that has been their tactics for a long time, decades... As a protester you are aware of this, so you either give in to the police intervention and end the protests, or you do what French protesters have done over the decades - adapt and play their game - they want issues they get issues. So I have no doubt you would have seen swifter reaction of the French police to something happening like what happened in England.

you can hear Sonya Curry in the video saying "they told us to go here and they told us to go there and then they told us to go over there" so there was some baseline of understanding between the police and the family and the police were acting overzealously, perhaps because they were not coordinating with Macrons security detail.
if there's some migrant crime, either real or misinformation cooked up by the fascist right, that serves as a tipping point in France, I don't know how the French police would react. I'm going to take a wild guess and assume La Pen supporters are over-represented among French police, would they really take the baton to "French patriots" that are "defending their land" from the "savage hordes"? I honestly doubt it. that would not be a pro-Palestine or pro-worker protest, they have no problem exercising extreme prejudice for those. this would be hitting home for them, so to speak.

Those kind of protests you're referring to are impossible in Paris. Police would intervene blazingly fast in order to stop from the opposing side clashing with the fascist protests. And that side is a lot lot bigger in Paris. Paris has a long history of long and violent protests against police brutality. La Haine is a really good move that has that as a central topic. Generally a good watch. Again I am not trying defend France w.r.t racism, hope you realize that, it's just that I'd like to point out the differences. And what you explain happened to S. Curry I'm still not convinced it has anything to do with skin color. France is probably the only country in EU that has US style ghettos - parts of it's territory that are a no-go zone that police basically lost control of... (parts of Marseille)

yes, I do believe the circumstantial evidence support that an Arab-passing woman holding her infant child that was assaulted by police in a country that won't hire you if you have an Arabic sounding name: www.france24.com/en/20200208-french-govt-study-reveals-minorities-face-discrimination-for-jobs-at-major-firms ... was a victim of racialized abuse. particularity since we've watched Aeysha for over a decade and know this goofy tik-tok dancing chef-mom is quite literally the last human being on this planet to give the police a reason to act hostile towards her. the golden rule in these kind of situations is, "would the police have acted in this manner if she was white". the answer is a clear No in my view.

Ok, we disagree, and it’s fine. But how do you consider her arab-passing?

Ayesha would easily be mistaken for Algerian, Moroccan or Egyptian if she lived in France.

The thing is - Paris is very PRO-MACRON. Le Pen's support is in all of the cities and lands outside of Paris. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I wouldn't make that assumption too easily.

State of NT. Mods slow killed this place by letting bullying and aggressive attitudes form this place. Now they want to delete every non-nuggets conversation that happens in the wrong threads. When actual Nuggets engagement is shockingly low considering our Michael Jordan is in his prime.
Why yall obsessed with killing the place we all care for? Sticky should been made mod 10 years ago.

Sticky should been made mod 10 years ago. why are those two issues being merged into one? the bullying/aggressive stuff will be taken care of. however the non nugget stuff in the wrong threads just shouldnt be there. if the thread is called "nugget trade ideas" or "nuggets at suns" why would anyone post political or anything non-nugget related in there anyways? seems like two different issues here.

Im looking forward to buttermans insults towards me being untouched because the mods have bias Im defintely going to do my best to just shut those types of discussions down quicker. Again I dont have any excuses but (and here they come) I just got so over reading them that I would skip pages of posts, not realizing how bad it got. And moderating on my phone just isnt as easy as it is on a computer. I just want to talk nuggets. all the other stuff isnt necessary here IMO.
