Sos Racisme
SOS Racism is a French association created in 1985 which is as dedicated to the fight against racism , the anti-Semitism and more generally all forms of discrimination History of the movement SOS Racism was born in a particular context. Indeed, in the early 1980s, two major events will particularly strengthen the internal tensions in French society. First, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, France realizes that people Saharan and North African living in its territory will not leave their homes once the age of Retirement arrived Preparation 15 October 1984, SOS Racisme was founded. Close to the Socialist Party since its inception , the latter comes a year after the " march of the beurs. " Several personalities from the PS themselves from movements Trotskyists (such as Julien Dray or Harlem Desire ) and other leftist movements involved in the creation of the association . A book, Secret History of SOS Racisme , written by Serge Malik, one of the founders of the movement, denounced the political exploitation of racism through SOS Racism . This use policy also explains Philippe Juhem as "hostility and mistrust that the associations of the" beur movement "manifest against SOS." Julien Dray's ambition and the founders of SOS Racisme is to build what they call a "mass movement" whose ability to mobilize more important than the details of its program. The founders quickly develop an "official history" of the association: an anecdote related to "racism Ambient is systematically disseminated to journalists for the thesis of a "spontaneous movement from the moral outrage of a bunch of friends." Jacques Attali in his book "Verbatim" (1993) argues that her association was created "from scratch" from the Elysee. This version is challenged by current studies that highlight the role, however, financial support from the socialist government in launching the association (see budget). The watchwords of the association are those of miscegenation and brotherhood symbolized by the slogan "Hands off my man" - found by journalist Didier Franois, a friend of Julien Dray - enrolled in a yellow hand created by communicating the Christian Michel . Dominique Sopo, president of SOS Racisme, witnessed by Charlie Hebdo in cartoons case . On the occasion of the cartoons, SOS Racisme affirmed a strong commitment to secularism, considered a fundamental pillar of both living together and as an essential condition for the existence of a democratic system Claims The objectives of the association is, in his words, to build a "mixed republic" that ensures equality for all Activities According to Philippe Juhem, author of "SOS-Racism, history of mobilizing" apolitical " , "the legend that SOS was created from two student loans 50 000 francs ... It is more likely that the association has received at the time of creation of money from the Elysee office that allowed the militants to the UNEF-ID Villetaneuse to meet the initial expenses - rental seat , launching the first series of the badge - that necessitated the introduction of SOS. This payment has obviously been kept secret so as not to dent the image of autonomy "apolitical" of the debtor.. " The activity of the association is mainly provided by grants from the French government or other institutions dependent: according to the Report of Audit and Control for the year 2009 published in the Official Journal , the total amount of donations , memberships and grants amounted to 904,596. The donee is the largest FASILD (Relief Fund and support for integration and the fight against discrimination) with 348,000 and 80,000 for the Ministry of National Education, 46.000 for the Ministry of Youth and Sports. The City of Paris and the Ile de France Regional Council will each for 40,000 and 35,000. Finally the Development Council of Community Life managed by the Office for Youth participates for 30,000. The principal private donor is Pierre Berge , Saint Laurent Rive founder left and close officially at least since the 80s of the Socialist Party. Note again the presence of American philanthropic organization the Ford Foundation. The total public subsidy thus amounts to 64% of total donations and grants. It has been stressed repeatedly by extremely low membership in the association's budget. With 18,669, they represent less than 2% of revenue. Personalities of the extreme right as Jean-Marie Le Pen have sometimes accused the anti-racist associations such as SOS Racisme to practice a form of racism " anti-white "and" anti-French ": "Anti-racism, political instrument today, as was the pre-war anti-fascism is not a non-racism. It is a reverse racism, anti-French racism, anti-white, anti-Christian. " SOS Racism, for its part, presented his project as a struggle against all forms of racism and racial discrimination "SOS Racism said in the evening in a statement that" after having contacted the family of the deceased, "she decided to become a civil party. The association said it was "outraged by the inhumane and racist attitude of the people who booed Raphael Clin after he was hit by a motorcycle." SOS Racisme has never practiced worldliness on the varied forms of racism. We want to educate the French public but also from immigrant. Background

In the show We're not lying , Zemmour also qualifies SOS Racisme "harmful" and believes that the association, whose work he says aggravates racism is a "war machine politics" manipulated by the left allow the National Front to grow in the presidential elections and destabilize the right . Positions of SOS Racism vis--vis racism "anti-white"
More generally, Samuel Thomas, a leader of SOS Racisme recognizes that racism is in all segments of the French population, including those of immigrant origin. He therefore finds it necessary to educate as well as each other. He refuses, however, the term " anti-white racism "because he not only would favor a communitarian logic, but also because the term is exploited by the far right . The association says it wants to fight against racism, making no distinction between communitarian and adversarial forms of racism. Shortly after the 2005 petition against the "anti-white ratonnade," he said on this subject:
The association has also positioned in 2009, in the case of assaulting a white passenger in a RATP bus by a gang of young (and filmed by a surveillance camera). The association described the assault as "racist" and strongly condemn . She deplores the same time the recovery made by the far right of this news item . As she says on her official website:
SOS Racisme has learned, like everyone else, the video of the racist attack which took place in a bus RATP. We wish first to condemn this aggression, and remember that racism exists, unfortunately for all. SOS Racism is not fooled by the recovery has been made of this video. We deplore the use made by some of the racist attack in order to convey their own ideas and positions racist pretext to denounce racism anti-white. " These people were to fight against racism by dressing in clothes of anti-racism, SOS Racisme is very vigilant vis--vis these developments. "
The case of false testimony at trial Vauvert
On 16 May 1999 , Mounir Oubajja, 18 was shot down by Joel Elias, a truck driver for 36 years, who shot into believing that we were trying to steal his car. This tragic event, taken by all the media in Paris, was immediately portrayed as a racist murder, emblematic of the problems of the suburbs. The motive is even more clear that three young people who attended the scene say, in written statements for Justice, having heard the gunman uttering racial slurs.
Yet in December 2000 , at the trial of Joel Elias before the Assize Court of Nimes, the three witnesses to show evasive. And eventually recognize that their version of events they have been more or less dictated by Samuel Thomas, vice president of SOS-Racisme, came to "investigate" in the city a few days after the murder. Chairmen of SOS Racisme Wednesday 4 October 2006 , Dominique Sopo accepted a mediation mission at the request of Nicolas Sarkozy , Minister of the Interior, concerning the case thrown out of Cachan. He has accepted this mission with Patrick Gaubert , president of the International League against Racism and Antisemitism. According to the Ministry of Interior and explanations of Claude Gueant , this mission would have started several days before the announcement to the press. Mediation Mission
