I thought France was known for remarkable equality and respect for people of African descent. Isn't that why so many talented African-Americans became expatriates to live in Paris last century?

It's like Chris Rock said (to paraphase), "Whites like Blacks like they like cream in coffee, just a little, not too much..." I can't remember.

I think France can willingly absorb people of whatever color who WISH to become FRENCH. By that I mean learn the French language, absorb the French culture, and become Frenchmen

The problem with Muslims is that they want to get a French check and live in France, while remaining culturally Islamic. They are thusly rejected by the French. As they would be by Americans under the same principles
