Jean-Luc Mélenchon wants to close the debate. The chief Dissenters criticized Wednesday, June 17 the notion of “privileged white”, considering that those who use it “have never seen a white poor”.

“You have to love France without exclusive, this is not the color that will separate the French,” argued Jean-Luc Mélenchon in an issue of its new online media, Insubordination. “The three or four people who think (the existence of a privilege white) have never seen a white poor”, a-t-he crazy.
“The only separatism, it is the one of the rich”
“At the time of the Algerian war, it was “The all whites settlers”, yet mine have never been colonized, were poor, were abused, certainly less than the other,” said the native of Tangier. “But it is true that each time that the mep BIA Younous Omarjee going on in this station, it is controlled because he is black,” said Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
“Those who build this “privilege”, it is those who create this situation by not controlling that the member of the european parliament black, and not the other”, he added. He has asked to be “against the communities, not in the sense of friendships, but that the rights would apply only to the interior of the latter and not elsewhere in the country.” But in France, according to him, “the only separatism is one of the rich who live by themselves in their ghetto”.
