About 300 people gathered this afternoon on the Champs-Elysées, in front of the perfumer Guerlain’s shop. Mania against the comments made by the former leader of the group, Jean-Paul Guerlain on the set of the news 13 hours of France 2, with regard to the "negroes". Some associations are calling for a boycott of Guerlain products. Rokhaya DIALLO’s reactions "We are tired of watching television and feeling insulted, without any official reaction condemning his words." "What I would like Mr Guerlain to realize is that his good fortune is also due to those so-called niggers who do not work that much and who have not worked that much. This power and its fortune is built on slavery and colonialism. '" and Benoit HAMON "This is called ordinary racism. As a white person I am rarely, if ever, a victim of racism in France. But I feel insulted as if as a citizen of the Republic, in the name of the equality of all citizens before the law and in the name of the fact that it is unbearable that discrimination or an act of rejection be carried out on an individual in the name of what he is, of his skin color, of his birth, of his origin.
