  • I totally agree with you here. These rules don’t make racism disappear but make it far more difficult to use it as a tool (passively or on-purpose).

    At least if someone (anybody, including politician, company) use these terms, they will be immediatly stopped with more ease than your current system.

    You still have a need for watcher (justice system, neutral party like associations) to keep track BUT nothing official can track your race in any documents at all level. That include the resume of an employe or even a customers service listing. You will have immediate sanction and bad PR for the company/individual if you do that.

    Same for your religion or your political party by the way. They are too much officialy tracked and categorized!

    Racism will always exists unfortunately but all these laws can reduce the global impact on the population. And put on shame the one using it as discriminative element.


  • We are in 2024 and they still use the word “race” to segregate the American population in several groups. So no surprise a DNA service could be so popular in the USA.

    If they were American citizen and just that - without subdivision and the legal right to ask or use their gene, color skin or whatever_they_think_is_important_to_distinguish_themself - well a lot of issues and strange “behaviour” (aka racisme) would have disapeared.

    Or at least decreased as nobody would have the legal tools and data to enforce it: gerrymanding, blaming a vote on a “community”, having your town split in “community” sectors and no shame at all to call it like that officially! Which others country put “chinatown” on their map?

    As a teenager, I was shocked by this fact when visiting the USA 25 years ago. That and the fact i have found in a normal marketplace unprotected ammunition sold near the baby milk. “baby stuff, baby stuff, 9mm ammo… what!?!”

    This DNA service is just the result of this global problem: the american society and its laws are still allowing passive racism.

    So americans want to prove (to themself, to others?) via DNA results that they can’t be racist because they have a black friend sorry : black DNA ancestors.

    Some will tell you: “ho it’s just for fun”. But is fun really the only motivation here?

    And congrat to them as they don’t only expose themself (genetic data are priceless and should be protected at all costs) but also they expose all their children, children’s children, etc. These chidren probably wouldn’t have agreed to that if they were born.




  • I remember and will never forget the media, politic and the following “french frog white flag bashing” when we told you the reasons invoked for this war were bullshit…

    But more important, I will always remember the deadly attacks we got in our country following the global destabilisation you created in the world. They couldn’t access USA so they targeted the Europe instead… Charlie Hebdo, the Bataclan and many more…

    I have participated to a retrospective meeting leaded by the colonel in charge of Paris when several sites and the Bataclan were attacked. And how he had to choose where to send the help and how many vehicules he could afford, trying to know if another attack will happens in another site. In this meeting I’ve also heard the phone call of people crying for help and being executed by these fanatics…

    Knowing that 6 days before I was in this same fucking place listening Nobuo Uematsu playing final fantasy music… I’m sure you understand why I will never forget that.

    I’m lucky this concert was not on the same day of the football/soccer game they initialy targeted but couldn’t due to the enhanced security this day (a minister was there with my company boss and some others colleagues). So they started to travel in the city, shooting at random (like bars) before entering in the concert room and massacre everybody inside…

    All of that for the $ of your dear GOP members… The fucking $ you put in all conversations like it’s the ultimate goal of a life. More important than a life… A child life in a school for example…

    Please USA, clean your shit, i’m sick seeing the world being impacted by your politics…



  • Ho, sorry for my reaction

    I see so many people not grasping how serious the situation is (or just saying: he’s jockiiiing) that my blood boil. Also because last summer, I saw my grandmother cry while she was remembering how she lost her sister during the first days of the WWII (killed in her house due to the bombing of the train station nearby). She was 5~6 yo and her sister 10yo. All of that because people didn’t react strongly enough to stop a party and a crazy man.

    Good luck for the election


  • When we should start to worry? When it’s too late?

    Young, I couldn’t comprehend how Hitler was elected, disgraced then could come back and how the people let that happening.

    Decades later, i really understand: complacency.

    Someone bringing the presidency position just casually say in front of the press that he want to hurt its opponent… In public.

    Imagine what he say in private, with all his yes men and psycho writer of project 2025 for example… And we know it’s not an accident, he reference hitler more than once… He is in admiration with dictators… he want to be one of them…

    Yeah, please “don’t exaggerate”.

    Don’t learn from the history. You’re lucky he is also stupid and old…

    X is no more a social media… It’s a rogue social media not following the rules of the country it operate in.

    You talks about double standards… Try first to not mixing totally not related root cause. Censoring vs Legals.

    X could have been able to avoid that if the company had proper leadership in place.
