...we faught the law and the law....



To my amazement I found black men still fighting for their legal rights in Paris... I know France is very socialist and everybody is striking on every ocassion they get, but I know from a friend who visited Paris in summer that the black activists where gathering signatures for the same petition back in August... So, allez, Les Pantheres Noires!!!

The irony of their protest was that they where playing some old Michael Jackson songs - not quite the proudest of his own pigmentation. I think some Bob Dylan songs would have suited the ocassion better. "Like a Rolling Stone" or "Hurricane" sang with an African accent like the one of the guy on Montparnasse - that guy was unbelievable...
