I don’t think it’s a reasonable presumption to claim that ”immigrants got a raw deal in France.”
I’ll qualify that a bit by saying that if you’re an immigrant who insists on flouting the laws of France by presuming that you can torch cars on the streets, burn down buildings, create mayhem and destroy property without consequence then I would hope that those immigrants do get a raw deal.
I’ll put myself in the role of the victims of those crimes noted above who work for a living, pay taxes, value their life and property and are struggling to deal with the challenges of making a living.
It’s not all about you.
They do and did.
What happened in Clichy-sous-Bois was an explosion of all the hatred against immigrants. They had enough.
Police brutality during identity checks against immigrants is a fact.
In fact; In April 2005, Amnesty international referred to this in their annual report.
Don't you think that it won't backfire on you when you use violence instead of lending a hand and actually getting these people out of the horrible situation they are in, get them of the streets without using violence, create a healthy environment, being a part of the society.
Banlieues are the product of discrimination in many fields of social and economic life.
They're islolated from the main cities, that's enough proof that they have been forgotten a long time ago.
They are being pushed further outside the society.
Don't take on the victim role, you have and will always pay taxes no matter what the situation is. Please, as if you offered, it's your obligation.
If they got a chance to work for a living, they would.
Try finding a job as an immigrant.
Youth unemployment in the banlieus is more than 40 percent, three times the national average.
Do you really think that they enjoy vandalism, unemployment?
They are protesting against oppression and racism.
Insurance will cover, right?
