I love this! Rickie destroys French racism so easily! She doesn’t even address the white fragility of French “laïcité.” She doesn’t go there. She attacks it for what it is-racism. This is a great artist who doesn’t play with her host. She calls them out when she’s the guest! I love her and I love France. I love everything about it. But they have to confront their structural racism without phony appeals to irreligion. Some people are religious. Not me, maybe not you either. But we have to respect it. This idea of secularism has been a ruse in France. It must be put into perspective. I don’t like religion, but we must respect people who do. Rickie is making us think.
