Are a majority of French people sympathetic to the dangers of
Islamophobia?

Emmanuel Macron’s response to the killing of Samuel Paty and
whether the majority of the French people are sympathetic to the

French people are sympathetic to freedom of expression against
Jews that offends them. They call it a "hate crime" no matter
how truthful that expression may be. Ponder that for a
second....

If her views are indeed not shared by Jon, he would at least
divorce her. If he does not do so, there is no reason for us to
believe he does not share her views.

Update on the Arbery case:

--- Quote ---
> BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) — The man who fatally shot Ahmaud Arbery
had previously used racial slurs in a text message and on social
media, a prosecutor said Thursday as a judge weighed whether to
grant bond for the defendant and his father.
>
> Travis McMichael and his father, Gregory McMichael, have been
jailed since their arrests in May, more than two months after
Arbery was slain. The McMichaels, who are white, chased and
fatally shot the 25-year-old Black man after they spotted him
running in their neighborhood just outside the port city of
Brunswick.
> ...
> Then prosecutor Jesse Evans asked Langford about a text
message Travis McMichael had sent him last year that used a slur
for Black people when referring to a “crackhead ... with gold
teeth."
>
> Langford at first said he didn't recall receiving the message.
Then after reviewing a transcript of the exchange, he answered:
“He was referring to a raccoon, I believe.”
>
> Evans also cited a photo Langford posted to Facebook last year
to which Travis McMichael replied: “Sayonara,” along with an
offensive term for Asians followed by an expletive. Langford
said he didn't recall that, either.
> ...
> “These men are proud of what they have done,” Arbery's mother,
Wanda Cooper-Jones, told the judge as she asked him to deny them
bond. “They want to go home because they think in their selfish
minds that they are the good guys.”

In review:
HTML https://us.yahoo.com/news/karen-meme-changed-way-americans-060038260.html
--- Quote ---
> The specter of Karen persisted as Black Lives Matter protests
and civil unrest spread around the country following Floyd’s
murder and reckonings with racism began to roil institutions,
toppling careers as well as statues. More than just an amusing
meme, Karen allowed for a new kind of discourse about racism to
gain credence in the US.
>
> “We as a culture have adopted this stance that white women are
more virtuous and not complicit in upholding racism in
particular,” said Apryl Williams, a professor of communication
and media at the University of Michigan. “They just sort of go
along with it, but they’re not conscious actors. The Karen meme
says, no, they are conscious actors. These are deliberate
actions. They are complicit. And I think that’s why it strikes a
nerve with people.”
>
> Amy Cooper’s Karen status was cemented when she called the
police on Christian Cooper, a 57-year-old Black birdwatcher,
after he had asked her to leash her dog in New York City’s
Central Park. Not content with falsely alleging, twice, that “an
African American man” was “threatening me and my dog”, Cooper
put on a play for the 911 operator, changing the register of her
voice to one of distress and panic as she cried: “I am being
threatened by a man in the Ramble. Please send the cops
immediately.”
>
> It was through that performance that Amy Cooper took on the
mantle of an American archetype: the white woman who weaponizes
her vulnerability to exact violence upon a Black man. In
history, she is Carolyn Bryant, the adult white woman whose
complaint about a 14-year-old Emmett Till led to his torture and
murder at the hands of racist white adults. In literature, she
is Scarlett O’Hara sending her husband out to join a KKK
lynching party or Mayella Ewell testifying under oath that a
Black man who had helped her had raped her. In 2020, she is
simply Karen.
--- End Quote ---
Not an American archetype, but a Western colonial one. We have
collected here plenty of examples of Karens outside the US, but
they are all "white" (including Jewish), and it is because of
this that their false allegations are believed without burden of
evidence. As a matter of fact, the biggest Karen hoax in recent
history did not happen in the US at all:
HTML http://aryanism.net/blog/aryan-sanctuary/the-colocaust/
But anyway:
--- Quote ---
> Williams defines a Karen as a “white woman surveilling and
patrolling Black people in public spaces and then calling the
police on them for random, non-illegal infractions”. She has
been studying memes about Karen and her predecessors (BBQ Becky,
Permit Patty, Pool Patrol Paula, etc) for several years, and in
in the journal Social Media and Society, she traces Karen’s
historical lineage and makes the case for her societal
importance.
>
> “In the past, Black bodies were controlled in public spaces by
threats of violence, lynching, and routine, targeted racialized
terror that dictated who Black people could speak to, where they
were allowed to live, and in which spaces they were able to
exist,” she writes. “Presently, the routine act of calling the
police on Black people in public spaces extends this historical
practice of regulating Black bodies to maintain White
supremacist order.”
>
> According to Williams, “Becky”, or “BBQ Becky” – the name
given to a white woman who called the police on a group of Black
people for using a charcoal grill in Oakland, California – was
the more common moniker for that kind of white woman before the
coronavirus pandemic, when Karen took off. But the name is not
as important as what it signifies. “It’s a cultural shorthand
and it’s interchangeable with any number of names,” Williams
said. “If my friend were to call me and say, ‘I had an incident
with a woman today at the bank and it was a Susan,’ she wouldn’t
have to say anything else. I would say, ‘What did Susan do?’ and
I already know what’s coming.
>
> “This is a continuation of a historical legacy,” she added.
“We can trace it back to the Reconstruction period when
vigilante groups were assembled to patrol freed slaves … These
Karens and Beckys are still serving as that sort of extra-legal
patrolling. They aren’t actually part of the law, but they act
as enforcers of it. They extend the legal power, even though
they have no legal power.”
> ...
> Implicit bias offered both an explanation and a justification
for actions that, to those affected by them, still felt like
plain old racism. It’s not intentional, the story went; every
white person must still be granted the benefit of the doubt, the
assumption of perpetual racial innocence.
>
> But as the summer of Karen kicked off, it became clear that
people of color in America, and especially Black people, were no
longer prepared to accept the alibi offered by unconscious bias.
> ...
> Soon, social media feeds began to fill again with testimonials
of abuse from people of color, not so much #MeToo as #YouToo.
You, too, have been racist, the moment of reckoning warned, and
your co-workers and underlings are not going to keep your
secrets for you any more.
> ...
> “Becky and Karen memes provide a vital social function,”
Williams writes. “They restore agency to Black communities by
allowing them to exert a form of justice on perpetrators. In a
subversion and reversal of power dynamics, Black meme creators
police White supremacy and explicitly call for consequences.”
>
> Of course, any attempt by Black people to assert power against
white supremacy is instantly met by a backlash, and the backlash
against Karen memes was practically foreordained. Complaints
about Karen being sexist were noteworthy mostly for how neatly
they re-enacted the Karen dynamic. Confronted with evidence of
their own agency and complicity, some white women responded by
reasserting their victimhood.

OK, so we've brought awareness to the issue. And calling a Karen
a Karen does not persuade them to stop being one. So now what?
