Rachel Khan: "The conviction of Taha Bouhafs reminds us that racism has no skin color"

Rachel Khan is a lawyer, screenwriter, actress and writer.

In her latest essay,

Racée

(L'Observatoire), she mocks new “decolonial” and “intersectional” ideologies.

To discover

"

Arab of service

", this insult which transpires contempt is recognized today by the correctional court of Paris as being a public insult because of the origin.

The journalist Taha Bouhafs is the one who is guilty of it.

As a reminder, the public prosecutor had requested as of June 9, 1500 euros fine against Taha Bouhafs evoking "

an intrinsically racist statement which falls within the scope of the law

".

The criminal court therefore followed.

The decision is important because behind these words it is all the racialist, indigenist and decolonial ideology which is pierced to date.

Thus, for the supporters of "state racism", all people of African origin (Maghreb or black Africa) whose thought is freed from all victimhood dogma, who invest in their own life, in their country, who espouse the republican values ​​of equality, freedom and justice, and who defend universalist principles are traitors to the cause.

For the so-called "anti-racists" it is unforgivable for the children of immigrants to serve a racist state which in reality should be avenged.

And, since the characteristic of these dogmas is to prioritize individuals, worse are those who have chosen to don the police uniform, (symbol of systemic racism) to work for the safety and security of citizens.

For the so-called "anti-racists", it is unforgivable for the children of immigrants to serve a racist state which in reality should be avenged.

From then on, any lost sheep must be brought back to its origin, which legitimized the "service Arab".

I naively believed that the fight against discrimination had the precise objective of enabling everyone to emancipate and in particular equal access to public employment (article 6 of the declaration of human and citizen rights) according to talent and competence without distinction of origin, handicap or religion ... Taha Bouhafs sees things differently, finding it legitimate to humiliate a woman cop because of North African origin.

If we follow the reasoning of this anti-racist militant, does this not recognize that for the benefits of the "cause" all Arabs must be assigned to an Arab job precisely so as not to be of service?

Enough with the jokes.

This decision of the criminal court is valuable.

Rachel Khan

We know that racialists (right and left alike) are driven by a morbid essentialism which draws an increasingly unfair and narrow box.

The assignment is a prison identity.

In this context, this decision of the criminal court is valuable.

First, because it shows that the surge of hatred online does not go unpunished and that the judgments of the “awake” pack have no place in a rule of law.

There is no such thing as judgment without trial in our republican ideal.

Then, it shows that our fundamental rights and duties are solid and that the correctional court opens the way to legally define what are the other insults such as "blacks of service", "

bounty

" and undoubtedly recognize that between "negress" and "house negress" the master signifier is the same.

This case law will be a landmark, it says that a skin color offers no impunity in the face of racism and reiterates that racism has no skin color.

Lack of pot, precisely, for a Taha Bouhafs who claimed to be anti-racist ...
