Aya Nakamura, the most listened-to French singer in the world, faced a wave of racist online attacks by members of the country's far-right after reports that Pres. Macron asked her if she would perform a song during the Paris Olympics opening ceremony. @vladduthiersCBS has more.
@CBSNews @vladduthiersCBS The “far-right” you say!!! Nope, people fed up with the invasion… it’s not racist
@CBSNews @vladduthiersCBS Louder and just to know fair right is about to take the Power in France and you should listen to what They say… you are not ready for this…
@CBSNews @reginalddhunter @vladduthiersCBS As soon as you mentioned changing the French language, it was more than enough. All French are extremists when it comes to protecting their language, way too many anecdotes. Near on all French are right-wing then when it comes to their language. 😐
@CBSNews @vladduthiersCBS ha ha ha...so interesting. The French need a lesson in THEIR history. I only have to think of the GREAT, Chavalier de St Georges or three generations of Alexander Dumas or more contemporary Blaise Diagny..sorry far righters you are intertwined with AFRICAN if you like it or not!
@CBSNews @reginalddhunter @vladduthiersCBS What is French culture? Which bits do they want to pick and choose? Culture and how you perceive it is a constantly moving feast. The only time things stop is when you die.
@CBSNews @vladduthiersCBS @Trevornoah could you follow up with the French ambassador.
@CBSNews @vladduthiersCBS Great job, Vlad. 👏🏾 Giving us factual information to process. That’s journalism.
@CBSNews @vladduthiersCBS As some on the right want to replace her with a Canadian singer.... Yeah, let's talk about the racism they claim is non-existent and magically can get over until it doesn't serve them.
