Some americans makimg a trip in some of our subburbs or watching a
documentary on FOX would imagine that all our country is covered with
tags and grafittis and gangs... I've visited Harlem and I've never
generalized what I've seen. (I've seen about a hundred cops round Wall
Street and in the City but only one patrol car in Harlem...). As I
would not generalize the racism of some Alabama, Mississipi or Texas
inhabitants according to the racist crimes we've heard about and the
statistics of courts or death penalty...
Every country as lacks, every country did historical crime in the name
of their own interests. If french did some mistakes and crimes
Americans are not in the top ten angels...
