"Instead of limiting our mourning to looking nostalgically back at old photos of a beehived, bikini-clad Bardot and playing “Bonnie and Clyde” on a loop, let’s ask ourselves the hard questions about how Bardot’s embodiment of prototypically “perfect” white womanhood relied upon systemic marginalization and outright racism (problems that persist in France to this day). After all, if we rush to sanitize our onetime icons in death, what message are we sending to those who are still living?"

Someone misspelled ‘heralded’......

Oh, it’s vogue. Never mind.

But in this moment of steadily rising Islamophobia, it’s hard to square those celebrations with the opinions of a woman who railed against immigration and publicly stated her opposition to the so-called “Islamisation of France” in her 2003 book A Cry in the Silence.

There wouldn’t be any Islamophobia if they quit trying to kill everyone.

One of the reasons I never got into drinking was because I didn’t have any Bardot.
She was a woman who was herself, and God forbid any woman be herself in this supposedly liberated age. RIP.

We need a new term to use for people like these. How about Islamo-idiots?
They are obviously too stupid to understand why any rational person should be phobic when it comes to Islam.

The question is "why would anyone want to sanitize Brigitte Bardot?".
She was perfect in every way.

I don’t get it, either. It’s pretty obvious Christians and Jews are in their crosshairs. Anyone that can’t see that is being purposefully BLIND to the FACTS.

Why would anyone want to sanitize her? Well, back on the day, I would have volunteered to give her a warm soapy shower....

She was pretty much liberal in every other way, especially on the subject of abortion.
