I have questions to ask

Body

Don’t get mad at me; I have questions to ask
Where is BLM when Blacks are killing other Blacks?
I’m not just talking about what’s going on in America
Take a look at what’s happening down in Africa
The whole world went nuts over George Floyd
Tell me how come there isn’t as much noise
about Christians routinely slaughtered in Nigeria
It’s obvious: all Black lives don’t matter!
 

Don’t get mad at me, I have questions to ask
How does mass immigration benefit the working class?
You supposedly want workers of the world to unite,
so why do you set people of color against Whites?  
Claiming that the latter, by mere virtue of their skin color,
are automatically on the side of the oppressor
I consider myself an individual,
and that’s exactly how I deal with other people 
No one is responsible for what their ancestors did
This is something I understood, even as a kid 
I’ll take the blame for my own misdeeds,
and I shall take pride only in what I achieve 
My patriotism is rooted in gratitude;
that’s why I do not give other people any attitude
You want to join in? You are welcome,
but when in Rome, do as the Romans like it used to be done

The immigration debate

Body

For decades, the debate on immigration has been framed, especially by people on the Left, as a Whites vs. people of color issue. It was a very convenient way to brand anyone who called for tougher immigration policies a racist, even when the reasons invoked had nothing whatsoever to do with race.

In France, it has become the major point of contention between Left and Right, even though that political divide predates immigration becoming such an important topic. Today, where you are on the political spectrum is pretty much determined by your stance on immigration, regardless of your views on the economy or of your position on other issues such as same-sex marriage. Being in favor of stricter immigration policies automatically places you on the Right. In fact, lawlessness is slowly becoming so normal that all it takes for you to be called a fascist is to ask that the law be enforced. 

To me, all this is completely ridiculous. In Denmark, for instance, Left and Right have managed to reach an agreement on immigration and this doesn't really surprise me.

I think the issue should be approached from a practical and pragmatic, not from an ideological and dogmatic perspective.

As a matter of fact, I believe that if leftists actually cared about working class people as they so often claim to, they would have a stronger stance than the Right on immigration. It seems to me that mass immigration benefits the capital more than it does the proletariat, as it gives the former unlimited access to cheaper labor. Besides, it is working class people who have to cohabit with the newcomers whose way of life does not always match theirs. In the 1980’s, the late leader of the French Communist Party Georges Marchais called for a halt to immigration, both illegal and legal. arguing that it made no sense to let other workers in when there are already many jobless ones in the country.

Progressives claim they want to build a less patriarchal, more LGBTQ-inclusive society, yet they insist on bringing in people whose attitudes towards women and LGBTQ people are not exactly in line with their agenda. 

I think things will have to change eventually. As long as it was only White folks who complained about the massive influx of foreigners, it was really easy to play the race card. But on both sides of the Atlantic, there are also people of color and people who are themselves of foreign descent who denounce the ill effects of immigration, especially illegal. I have to say, sometimes it is quite fun to watch if you bear in mind that most of them probably support the politicians who created this situation.

A couple of years ago, there were clashes in my hometown between North Africans and Chechens. Later on, judging that the prefect had not handled the situation properly, members of the North-African community launched a demonstration to ask his resignation. Their complaint: police had not been sent in to protect them, which I found hilarious knowing that the police are not usually welcome in their neighborhood.

Writing a message to a friend about a great moment

Body

Hello, my friend, I'd like to talk to you about the last concert that I attended. It was a huge event, I think you have already heard about it, in case you don't know, it's called Rock in Rio! The night was so great, although it was raining, my wife that was with me didn't like that, because she wanted to enjoy all the rides that they had, but I was most interested in the music, so, even under the rain I enjoyed, but actually, the mud bother me a bit, it wasn't too much however we couldn't sit when we felt tired, we had to find a better place to rest even with the event crowed.
Take off all those problems, the good times made it worth it, because in that event we were able to watch and to listen to the last concert of the huge band Foo Fighters with their drummer Taylor Hawkins still alive. They were great as always, they played all their big successes and the concert lasted more than two hours long, because it had too much time that the band hasn't been in my country.
One of the biggest moments took place when Taylor Hawkins played a drum solo and afterward took over the microphone and started singing a Queen's famous song.
It was really a great time and we will never forget that.

Wondring if language exchange is effective

Hello every one, 

This is Mosab from Libya and this is my first time using Mixxer. 

I have a query and hope you could answer me. Without any refrences or guidlins it seems that pairs could not get an advantages of their chatting as there would be a huge gab. I belive plenty of pairs would fall in during their exchange and end up by just having only one or couple of non useful meating. 

So, out of what i was saying.Has somebody got an advantage out of those meeting. If so let us know how did you manage to do it.

I really don´t know what to say

Body

My dear friend,

Here I´m as usual with nothing new to say. I only want you to know that I´m here, as usual. 

There is almost three years since I saw you for the last time and it cannot pass a day without remembering you. I feel better now, but the first year was awful. They say time heals and in some way it´s true, but losing you was as losing a part of me myself. I felt as if I lost my childhood, being old as I am. Life will not ever be the same, as when you discover that Father Christmas is not who you think it was.
