This book is refreshing. He denounces the humor with some stereotyping of blacks in France and even unconsciously convey our self-proclaimed anti-racist: oversized sex, superior physical performance, rhythm in the blood, etc. But Gaston Kelmann is also critical with respect to the victimization of some minorities to discrimination against them. He calls angelic racism paternalism tends to treat black as a disabled through his every whim. But this book is also a plea for the French to the assimilation model. For him, by systematically bringing blacks to their real or perceived cultural backgrounds, even without ulterior motives, they are prevented from moving in the French culture, that of the country where they live: "By his school in Paris my daughter must have heard of the griot more than I who have lived more than twenty years in my hometown. The griot popular character of West Africa does not exist in the city of my childhood. [...] For me, griots have the same exotic as Scottish kilt wearers or Belgian or British bell players have to overcome my neighbor Savoyard origin. And have talk to my daughter griot, and present in him substitute, as the griot would build on its African roots, and in doing we invent my daughter, roots that are not mine, nor those of my mother "(p. 29-30). A book that shows that black is nothing more than a white with black skin.
