Black Frenchmen (Afro-French) are having a racial riot in the suburbs of Paris.
Lack of Jobs and discrimination are blamed for the riots.

France is about to learn what it's like to ride a tiger and then feel the results of having to dismount. After decades of unlimited immigration into France, mostly from their former colonies, Les Froggies du Blanc are rapidly becoming the minority, and with the growing militancy of their Muslim population, troubles are a'brewing. Likely before the end of the year, there will be some very serious attacks there, and with each one, a more strident police action will follow, which will bring about more attacks ad nauseum, and ultimately, some form of capitulation, aka Les Vichy.

When I was in High School, a friend of mine with French relatives had a visit from his French cousin who was our age. I even remember his name, Fillipe Henri Marie Berdeux. Nice guy and we had fun showing him around and drinking beer etc. He told us that the "Black Feet", which were north african moslems, were moving to his country and causing problems. He said that he feared that if nothing was done they would take over France one day. This was in 1966. Sounds a bit prophetic to me. Good luck Frenchies.

This is beginning to spread out more and more. It's far from over and the issues will only get worse.

Just don't send in any American troops let the Frogs deal with it.

I can just see it now... the riots lead to hearings and blue ribbon commissions, which then lead to civil rights legislation showing favoritism toward the oppressed minority, which then leads to them reminding their nation about their suffering for the next 387 years at every possible opportunity.

The Ottoman empire always did want a stronghold in the former Franco domains.

When in France do what the French do, burn Paris. Hitler's question to his generals as the German Army retreated "Is Paris Burning?". Yes it is but only 60 years later.

The French
never seem to have had too much of a problem with the racial thing. Algeria did give them something to worry about with Muslims, though they didn't mind them as trading partners (did we, for that matter?)
And they didn't burn Gay Paris, though they did get the hell shot out of it with Le Resistance. Personally, letting the Free French Forces lead the way into Paris was good politics and sound tactics (better them than us) - almost as good as letting the Russians "liberate" Berlin.

Why DID, the "French" come to our aid in our time of peril during the American Revolution?
