Bennet would have been immediately indicted in France
Advertisements [?]
I must say that I don't understand the "defense" of Bennet, AL Franken and Springer put on AAR today.

It doesn't matter that Bennet said that it should be "immoral" or "reprehensible". He stated that it's because you are black that you are likely to become a criminal. That was the meaning of his "supposition". Which is blatant racist hate speech.

Hate speech has nothing to do with freedom of expression and is illegal in many European countries.

To give you an example a known black French standup comedian become controversial for statements comparing Sharon to Hitler. He got an SMS from a known top showproducer on national TV : "do you think it would be funny with a joke about black people smelling ?". Which means he indirectly implied that black people are smelling.

Today the tribunal condemned the producer and the president of the company to 5000 and 4000 euros each for "racial harrassment".

Obviously you can be fired because you say bullshit or allow a nipple to be shown but mass abortion of blacks is OK... what's next ?
