In the case of France, they have a long history of colonial racism that has targeted Arab and Black people in particular in France. You know, in any society, the policing that we see and discrimination that takes place reflects the biases of that society and that society's history. Are these demonstrations about this one killing or something bigger?įLEMING: Oh, it's about something much bigger. Thanks for having me.įADEL: Thank you for being here. She's a sociology professor at Stony Brook University and the author of "Resurrecting Slavery: Racial Legacies And White Supremacy In France." Good morning.ĬRYSTAL FLEMING: Good morning. Joining me now to discuss this is Crystal Fleming. The killing is fueling anger over police violence in France, especially toward racial minorities. The demonstrations are showing no signs of abating and were triggered by the fatal police shooting of a 17-year-old of North African descent in a Paris suburb earlier this week. For the third straight night in France, police clashed with protesters in major cities across the country.
