but the judge didn't keep the racism charge ...
so even the visible part could be rendered invisible 🙁

Sorry to read.
I wrote computer programs to scrape the internet for Black People murdered in police custody and extended that to historical figures

Do you know if there is a source in english or french or any other language which
1. lists those Black People and people of color who have been murdered or attacked in France
2. and/or similar historical figures in France?

You misread me above
The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle helps me slow down
I'm literal
Those who read between the lines often munderstand me
I'm aware that muslims are numerous and persecuted in France
You could have asked me whether I knew about muslims in France but you preferred to assume that I didn't which is a fair assumption but assumptions can always be wrong.
That could be miscontrued as anti-Black racist
