The colors of the flags are not the only colors France and the United States have in common. Truth in black and white. (Verite en blanc et noir.) For nearly three weeks race riots have continued in the land of "Equality, liberty, and fraternity". The rioting is the result of an accidental killing by the French police of two youths, of Black African descent. Zyed Benna, 17, and Bouna Traore, aged 15 were electrocuted at an electricity sub-station in Clichy-sous-Bois. According to police reports their deaths occurred when they ran from the police.

The trouble has spread across France and into Brussels, and Germany as well. It appears the US isn’t the only place in the world that does not wholeheartedly embrace people of color.
