Bruh. Let me have my figure of speech.
In any event I find it hilarious empire is now being trotted out as a net positive for cultural relations. Brown people were fighting for France because brutally decided they were in charge of their lands
I'm sure that left a good taste in their mouths.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
By the way, Strike, have you ever heard of the classicist Victor Davis Hanson?The idea that Frances imperial subjects were fighting for the republic in the world wars is absurd.
He once wrote a book in which he presented the cases that:
1. The Thebans were true democrats motivated in fighting Sparta by the moral imperative of freeing the helots.
2. The Unionists were true democrats motivated in fighting the Confederacy by the moral imperative of freeing the Negro slaves.
3. The Americans were true democrats motivated in fighting the Nazis and Japanese by the moral imperative of freeing the world from fascist tyranny.
You would get a real kick out of it...

Oh that changes everything.
We found the Steve Jobs of revolutionary France.
Does that really change your mind? 1 man? 1 man who is not tangentially related to the issue at hand.
"At one point a half black man in France was well regarded".
That would be like me pointing to Crispus Attucks and saying the American revolution was spearheaded by black Americans.

It is one example of many that shows that Africans have been better treated in France then the US. If you read about Dumas then you would learn about his mentor:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chev...e_Saint-George
It was in 1793 Dumas made General in Chief, it took until 1975 for an African American to reach the equivalent rank in the U.S.
Toussaint Louverture was the second African-Frenchman to be a four star equivalent for France in 1797.
You are very wrong about France's integration. U.S. isn't the leader in this, yes better then Australia but that is because we are borderline apartheid until the sixties.

You are talking about single cases of high born men reaching high rank in the military. You are not talking about the mass integration of millions of people from a different cultural group. It's worth pointing out both of your Steve Jobs were steeped in French culture from the time they were born.
If you think this is proof of a successfully integrated society, we may just have to agree to disagree. The same goes for all this dick measuring of high up governmental positions. 1 or 2 success stories does not translate to mass integration.
Yea, you mad.I tend to get mad at the mouthbreather crew on the right.
I can't seem to find the ones that aren't mouthbreathers on the internet, they go full retard anonymously.
