Paris Is Getting Shit Crunk
It's recently been brought to my attention that the various hoods of northeast Paris have been pretty much in open insurrection since over a week ago. This comes as no huge surprise, because not only is Paris one of the gullier cities in Europe, it's notorious for having fucked up police and shitty race relations in general. Not only that, it seems that homeboys over there have finally decided to pick up on the rioting traditions of the United States and decided to start cold burning shit!
Youths armed with gasoline bombs fanned out from Paris' poor, troubled suburbs to shatter the tranquility of leafier towns, torching 900 vehicles, a nursery school and other targets Saturday in the worst wave of arson since the urban violence began more than a week ago...
...The violence — originally concentrated in neighborhoods northeast of Paris with large immigrant populations — is forcing France to confront anger long-simmering in its suburbs, where many Africans and their French-born children live on society's margins, struggling with unemployment, poor housing, racial discrimination, crime and a lack of opportunity.
When I was in Paris, most of the Algerians and Africans were pretty gully looking, and we were instructed to not speak or interact with them in any way whatsoever. Which was pretty retarded because those that I did talk to were cool as hell but that's beside the point. What I'm trying to say here is that this is obviously Detroit Civil Rights-style rioting. This is almost on a revolution scale right here. From my talks with hip hop dudes over in Paris it seems like Paris cops are always wilin' out and beating people down, and apparently the shooting of two African teenagers in the area was the last straw. It's been said that every society is three meals away from revolution, and this incident is a perfect example.
I'm not trying to justify what's going on here, but judging by translated MC Solaar lyrics and what I saw whilst in the "ghetto" of the big P, the bakra had it coming to him. France, like most Western countries, is horribly racist and classist, and Africans living there ALWAYS get fucked with. I did some chillin' in the red light district and other nasty parts of Paris, and obviously those places could easily rival the nastiest hoods of the USA. 12 year old prostitutes walking around, crackheads, gang dudes chillin' on what were presumably project steps, shit is really messed up over there. Obviously this is a reaction to conditions that were set up by somebody. Maybe that somebody will think about it next time they wanna shoot 2 kids just for running. Niyabinghi.
