I really wonder what Monsieur Gobry’s attitude is towards the blacks in Paris, though; he is a bit too removed from the USA to even open his mouth on the matters here.
Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry is an entrepreneur and writer based in Paris. His writing has appeared at Forbes, The Atlantic, Commentary Magazine, The Daily Beast, The Federalist, Quartz and other places.
The reason I don’t like to talk about race is I absolutely cannot stand hypocrisy. And when you talk to anyone on the left about race, that’s all you get.
Very interesting observations on the subject of conservatives and race. Is worth discussing.
Cannot allow the complete and total refutation of every premise of this stupid Ferguson argument to derail the infinite-victim narrative. That would be a travesty. On the other hand, the burning down of all those businesses in Ferguson is a justified, but otherwise forgotten wisp of a vague memory. Because in a just society, we would have no racism but it would be OK if I burned down your house if I felt like there was. Is that about right?
No scab can be left unpicked. The scab-pickers are both more intelligent and morally superior to those who somehow are so ignorant that they have the ability to leave the scab alone. You know how it is. If you don’t, you’re one of them.
If he is ‘based in Paris’ why is he commenting on issues in the USA?
He should simply STFU unless he lives here!
Stopped reading when he implied global warming is a problem. One can say I have been slightly obsessed about this subject for 15 years, and read all information regarding this topic vociferously and daily, I also have the math, science, and engineering background to understand it. Global warming will someday be known as the biggest hoax perpetrated on planet earth, and entire majors at universities will be devoted to how it is possible to get such a large population of the earth to uniformly believe something without expending the slightest bit of critical thought.
Racism would die in this country if the Democrats would just let it.
"Global Warming" is utter bullsh*t. It is just the communist left trying to impose world control through scare tactics. If you understand how gases absorb and re-radiate heat, you realize quickly that their "greenhouse" gas arguments are utter crap.
Water vapor is the most powerful and most dominant "greenhouse" gas, and if their theory were correct, life would be impossible on Planet Earth.
Their theory is incorrect, in fact it is a bald faced lie.
I think this guy is an idiot. Conservatives don’t NEED to talk about race. Liberals do enough.
Who care?
I have decided to embrace being a racist. Hell, maybe old Al Gore Sr. was right after all.
And what planet are you living on? I've had a few good interactions with police, but i've had plenty of bad ones, including being forced to lie on the ground with my hands behind my back because they thought I *might* have been one of the people who held up a Jewelry store. I've been threatened, brow beat and harassed, and even ticketed when I didn't deserve it.
I've had them hold their hand on their gun in a threatening manner, and talk at me in an arrogant and nasty tone.
I could detail several non-positive experiences I and my friends have had with police officers, so I don't know where the author gets this idea.
I don't believe a word of it coming from the Eric Holder "Justice" department. They went in looking for a racist scape goat, and when they couldn't find one, they created one.
He should get out of Paris.
Minimum wage is a problem, it is pricing people who want to work but lack degrees or experience out of the market. A lack of a job is a leading cause of poverty.
For five dollars an hour I will hire someone to wash my windows. At sixteen I will do it myself. The wage of the window washer is now zero.
Global Warming (or is it Global Climate Change or Global Climate Chaos or what ever stupid name they have hung on it this week) is a flat out hoax.
A very small amount of reading of history shows that the planet warms, the planet cools when the sun wishes and we can do very little if anything about it.
It is not that I am unwilling to talk about these things but honestly it is like trying to explain to a toddler that no, little people are not trapped in the TV and we don't need to break the glass to let them out.
Eventually you just tell the kid to quit harping on the matter and put him in the naughty corner if he does not comply.
Sadly you can not do this to liberals because they are past their majority.
I for one have no interest in talking about all of the various shades of skin color. That is where the current definition of race has devolved.
Conservatives, at least this one, do not give a shiite about race as long as a person acts civilized, speaks English normally, and behaves like most any other American. Regional quirks not-withstanding of course.
It may be just me, but when I hear negro music, ebonics, or similar inner city garbage, I go to Defcon 2. Liberals do not like it?
Try acting like Americans, and stop condemning those that do as "acting white".
Even in Madison, WI Blacks are accusing that city of racism in the wake of the police shooting of Tony Robinson. I guess that myth of White liberals being racially tolerant was a myth. Honestly, it doesn’t matter what your political ideology is you cannot have a rational discussion about race with Black people. Their mindset is one where everyone is a racist.

Been aware of and have listened to the same crap since 1962. I'm over it. That simple.
I’m a conservative who doesn’t like to talk about race because I judge people as individuals and not as members of groups.
