ok im black and must say is this supposse to be offensive come on now. he looks like he going to die in the next five years. im very dissapointed that ppl will actually care what a old man has to say.
Everyone needs to grow up and stop being so sensitive, the only thing that makes anyone a different colour is melanin in the skin, our natural sun protection. We are all the same.
the problem is not with the joke or expression, it is about the quote that follow: HE DOESN'T KNOW IF NIGGER HAVE EVER WORKED HARD.
in other words he use the expression, but don't recognize how hard some niggers have work. maybe he is going to tell us that the slavery was an invention.
I, the first recognize that some of my brothersdo bad stuffs, but it is not a reason to you use it to erase all the people who work all day long and die in slavery.
This is a situation where you have to appreciate a persons skill at thier art without endorsing either them or their views. Gurlain as a perfume house have created some of the greatest fragrences the world has known. How much of this has been the result of JPG's input is a question I can't answer. Clearly the old fool did not even recognise how offensive his comments would be to the modern audience but this is noooo excuse and possibly even makes it worse. But Mitsuko is fantastic all the same!
As far as I can tell, "work like a negro" (or nigger) - or colored, in my language - is a common expression in many languages that dates back to the times people from Africa were brought overseas for labour. It has a lot more to do with former slavery than it does with racism.
So when black people call themselves Nigger all the time in rap songs and films, that is ok, but suddenly if somebody else says it all hell breaks loose? If people don't like the term then stop using it yourself otherwise what is the difference whether a black or white man says it...
@seanzscorpio ive noticed only white people say this comment. its a shame we dont have a derogatory name for you guys, it really is. Because youll never understand. Yet you still try to have an opinion on the matter when you should just shut the FUCK up and there wont BE controversies like this.
@m0sas Im actually asian. Either your deaf or dumb? Have you listened to any rap song lately? Maybe you should "shut the FUCK up" if you think only white have an opinion? In that simple line you prove yourself as a wanker who needs to read a little more rather than guess who has an opinion and who doesn't...
@seanzscorpio you think cause your asian it changes anything? Thats even worse bc you REALLY dont know what the fuck your talking about. If you want racism to stop being 'such a big deal' or brought up then STOP BRINGING IT UP. What he said was racist. He knows it, about 90% of the comments aside from assholes like you know it, & so do i. so fuck off. and heads up, dont call an american a 'wanker' lmao..it just makes you look stupid.
@seanzscorpio also in your response to rap songs...theres a HUGE difference btween calling a fellow black person nigga and a white man calling a black person a nigger. If you seriously think they are the same thing then YOU need to go read some books and educate your damn self. I--we, african americans dont have to explain and im not going to. The word is essentially off limits to other races for a reason, and im all for it staying that way.
@QuantumQuacks "Jews are simply lucky" LMFAO! You think it's luck? Luck that the vaccinating needle was invented? The theory of relativity? The Micro-processor chip? Jews have a good work ethic born out of thousands of years of culture against adversity. Jews lived in terrible conditions forced upon them & they have still been winning Nobel prizes for the last 105 years. 180 to Jews & 3 (yes 3) to Muslims. 14 million Jews & 1.4 billion muslims, the answer is education. Seems like you need it!
@pcmacro Negro is a Negro and not a black, black is a term that denotes sad, depression, is a pure color,negro is the shit instead of every negro, and to see a noble man of France as JP Guerlain humiliated for a phrase we say everyone in europe, we who are not negroes or apes, is a serious chutzpah.
God did not make men equal, because the negroes do not please God, and I hate them also for this that they are doing against Guerlain!
@QuantumQuacks "Holier than thou," not quite--just calling it as it WAS and IS. The French rolled over in WWII and the USA liberated their country. Do you know your world history? Call me all the names you want, it won't change this fact, dumbass. Also my "respect" comment was a REPLY to someone else earlier in this comment thread and had nothing to do with Jean-Paul, you ignorant fuck---get with the program before you make a fool of yourself again! It must suck being so stupid!
@QuantumQuacks i dont believe in luck in politics... And for the rest, it seems that we are saying the same thing : money > developped world, resources, wealthness, lobbying,.... that's why i say that jews are powerful in politics today.
TYPICAL, THIS IS WHAT THEY DO, IGNORANCE OF SELF, THEIR JUST DUE IS COMING EVERY EMPIRE FALLS, NO EXCEPTIONS, THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE OF THE EARTH SHALL PREVAIL, WE WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH, HAHAHAHAHAA
What gets me is, as I listened to the video again, the moment he mentions how hard he worked the interviewer laughs in the background. ;-) I love Louis Vuitton's products as I do Hermes. I think this fellows comments are no more racist than the lyrics within the vast majority of rap hip hop. A black can use this word in any context and become vastly wealth in doing so however a white simply utters and is a "hate" crime or "racism"...
I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you...many creeds are blatant rip-offs...but I do like some of them...I think Guerlain is top-notch though. But honestly -- this is an old guy, you can't expect him to keep up with what is considered politically correct speech...it's funny to me that people took what he said so seriously.
The U.S. Protects groups of people from getting hurt when ignorant white people make hurtful comments. White people need to get over themselves, whether in france, the U.S.And everywhere else. Hes white Euro garbage and he wrong for refering to his labor to how blacks worked years ago. I hate white people, all of them. I dedicate my life to hold them back and see them suffer.
@Vinnyfuckinb - You cannot live in hate, if you live in hate, it means that you are traumatized and you need to cure yourself. The ideal is to live in peace. You cannot have making people suffer as a goal. As a goal, you should have bigger things in your mind, positive things. Hating just damages yourself without damaging the others.
@Vinnyfuckinb To be honest I don't think it is fair how people judge by skin colour rather than by personality or talent. But what you have just said is complete hypocritical, don't hate white people just because a few are racist. Surely this kind of hate holds us all back, regardless of skin colour.
White people kill me with their racism toward blacks. Come on you have the world and yet you still find time to comment negativley about blacks. What is the real deal, why do blacks bother you guys so much? You guys run the world. If blacks are so low and we recieve so much welfare, why waste your time to comment. I think I know why.
If he actually "worked like a nigger" on this perfume, it probably smells like crap because he would have quit working almost immediately and applied for state or government assisted welfare.
It's incredible that the host LAUGHS when he says this.
@comlax22 He actually talked about negres or niggers as a symbol of hardwork and then realized that he was probably wrong...he does not give a fuck what people think he does not live in america...freedom of speech in france is a lot more respected than the US.
@bahraouik He's almost old enough to remember the US liberating his pussy country from the Nazis. Perhaps he should indeed have more respect, as should those arrogant French in general.
@bahraouik freedom of speech in France?? my ass, maybe freedom of speech when you want to spit on black people 'cause in France nobody gives a damn about how bad the black community can be treated, but let's try to say something about jews that is not in the taste of the jew community you will see immediately reaction in gouvernment or politics or association...
Freedom of speech in France exist to protect white people's interest , or jew community, if you don't fit in those you're just shit...
@gerico9 the black community isnt the only one to suffer from the past. & you cant compare jewish and black past. Cruelty is cruelty, there are no different levels of cruelty. You should be against it no matter the colour, the origin, the religion and all that stuff. We must be treaten in the same way, without distinctions. white=black=jew, we are exactly the same. Human at the end. You dont want to be treated differently because youre black, so dont make your colour a source of difference.
@rispostaautomatica Sorry maybe you misunderstood me. I don't want to make any difference between people black white or whatever (by the way for me jew is religion, so it means that you can be black and jew too.) I was talking about the rules that exist in france, I'm not here to put oil on the fire, I was just reacting to the comment about freedom of speech in France, which is exactly like I was describing in my answer to @bahraouik.
Cruelty is cruelty...it's true. Go now explain this France
@gerico9 yes, jew is a religion for me too. i could have written muslim or whatever but there are mainly comments about jewish, black and white people here.
@gerico9 and yes, your comment to bahraouik sounds a bit "anti jew", to me. what i wanted to say is that there are not only problems against black people in France. Sadly.
But i'm glad it was a misunderstanding. And hope one day France and people in general, will learn from the past. But i think money is the first if not the only source of problems. Maybe that's why jewish community is so powerful in politics today?
ok im black and must say is this supposse to be offensive come on now. he looks like he going to die in the next five years. im very dissapointed that ppl will actually care what a old man has to say.
