I was in Paris back in 1989 and it was all fucked even back then.

I recall getting back home to America and weathering all the questions from friends and family: "What is France like? What is Paris like? Is it beautiful?"

Any my first answer was always the same: "Well, apparently to be Parisian, you have to be black."

In 1989, I was astounded by the number of black people in Paris. It blew me away. And I grew up in San Francisco, which, while not exactly Detroit, isn't North Dakota either. The French have been fucking themselves over with immigration for many many years and without a very bloody revolution, it seems nothing will change.
