We read:
"Zemmour's "controversial" remarks included his observation that most drug dealers in France were black or Arab, and that employers "have the right" to deny employment to those two groups of people.
Zemmour's criminal speech occurred on a popular talk show during a discussion of why French police seem to stop minorities more than whites. Said Zemmour: "But why are they stopped 17 times? Why? Because most dealers are blacks and Arabs. That's a fact."
So Zemmour wound up in the French dock, and must now pay $14,000 to five groups that sued him for racism.
According to the New York Times, the French court said Zemmour had "gone beyond the permitted bounds of the right to freedom of speech," and that ". . . Zemmour had a particular responsibility to respect those limits as a 'professional of the media and of expression.'"

It now appears that one has only to speak the truth in France to go "beyond permitted bounds" of free speech!
Dear France,
Rights? I do not think that word means what you think it means. Perhaps the 6th Republic, now inevitable, will figure it out.
The French, like the Brits, will get all this nonsense sorted out when Sharia Law takes effect. And it won't be long.
I understand the french symbol is a rooster Its just too bad the french chicken has become so pathetic
Local paper stopped listing the race of the local bad boys if they were black. I quit buying the paper. Stormewaters
