a happy future while keeping a cultural connection with the past important in these changing times. down in the harbor a fisherman is unloading his catch of halibut it's been a good day fisherman can earn huge sums here maybe eight thousand dollars a week in some amounts most of the cash goes the national fishing conglomerate which is expanding its operations into remote communities and one of the reasons why the fishermen do so well is because winters are getting shorter and the summer season is expanding open water for quite a a much slower time and we can ship our. goats to denmark to export them a little longer than we usually but that expanding season and less ice means a traditional form of transport is not as necessary as it once was all along greenland's coastal towns and settlements there are sled dogs everywhere that part

5:21 pm
al-jazeera out. where everything. from the ok i enjoy the street and i'm really could be allowed to date france clock while at a race in the wake of a world cup when some are asking what does it mean to be friends and we are diving into a topic pitch by a member of a community and my case listen during the world cup a lot of people joke that they would support the black an african team and by the time the final rolled around that black african team somehow more entrenched and i saw a line conversation tweets going viral this conversation around citizenship and
5:22 pm
race and religion in france and i wanted to hear from actual french people especially minorities black and muslim and others about what it feels like what it means to be french and and to observe this global conversation about the impact of the team on contemporary french citizenship south african comedian travel no added fuel to the debate on nationality with a joke about france's wealth cup when referring to the large number of players of african descent. so what happened was let's start at the beginning of france won the world cup. and so on the show we celebrated that and i had this joke where. i said africa won the world. while his show has drawn fierce criticism no continues to stand by his remarks
5:23 pm
meanwhile the conversation on what it means to be french rolls on and here to discuss that from france required the other she's a writer journalist and t.v. host a b e t france in paris pierre haski is a better and journalist and commentator. our dean he's the deputy city counselor for the paris suburbs and sent to me and in new york louis sarkozy he's a french philosophy and religion student at new york university he's also the son of the former french president nicolas sarkozy and everybody is good to have you here and for those of you watching live on you tube you can leave your comments in the chat box and we will try and get them into this show so french guests yes it's lovely to have you. for disclosure i am of african descent i know that may have been a surprise to some of you i didn't realize as i was following the means and the jokes about the french team that within france there was some friction some tension about
5:24 pm
these jokes let me show you that moment when i realized and this is from one of our producers senior producer of al-jazeera he's based in france and he says dear twitter it is time to stop this front on african team nonsense if you don't understand why that's hope for them best to just sit let france enjoy this moment the idea of it being full p.s. can you explain why some people would find what seemed to be a little bit of teasing a little bit of a joke why that would be so painful for french people. you know when. other people make the same joke as martin le pen the leader of the far right in france about the french team being an african team there's a problem and that problem is that it implies that you cannot be french and black or french an arab and that's that's the core of the issue obviously there are
5:25 pm
a lot to say and we will come to that later probably about discrimination about the lack of equality of chances within the french society for minorities but the basic thing is that this team is seen by. very very large majority of french as the french national team and joking as trevor never said oh africa won the world cup is a way of denying those players their frenchness although they are born in france they have played with the national team they are they have full citizenship and that's where that's where the problem lies. i i don't really agree with the end of what you say and i was fully agreed with someone when he said that in a way i want to work on because we all know that player is to play
5:26 pm
in the french national team have to be french but we also know that they have. a sentence and we know that many of the french players. their parents come from africa or from other countries and i think that we should really think about what is being french today and i think that we can be french from african descendants and be fully fully integrated into french national team so. that's what trevor said. i agree completely i agree with what you say he says not to say i can time when he was on the way. but i could have. i'm very interested in that conversation because everyone seems to understand that when you're african you kind of the french at the same time i
5:27 pm
understand why it is problematic to refer to french players as african in the french context but it should be because you have many people from the far right who deny the fact that they are french by saying that they are from growth that they don't belong and that they are africans so in the french context i mean from people from the far right it means denying the fact that they are french but as myself being a woman from african descent i'm french but my tummy comes from africa i can understand why people of african descent all around the world and i think it's important to say a true going to south africa how they can relate to that success and how no have how did you have the will to to share that moment of joy you know that it's not because you i think in that you've got you can abuse french at the same time so i understand that i would be angry if someone from the far right political landscape was said that those cases are african because in the french context it means something different but from someone who is from african descent trying to share
5:28 pm
you know heavy trade you know come on come encourage a common belonging to the. over genes with the african continent isn't it something because we don't have so many opportunities to see peoples african descent descent being fed a great ice as a national hero so i understand you know what he what he wanted what do you did want to say it so to try and i want to take your point and push it a step further you mentioned contacts and i think that's what's so important here so this is a tweet got from john paul he says these i didn't to tarion at the right of the far right meaning the ultra right were the first to say that the french team should better be called the team of africans so of course that is what a lot of people have a problem with but on the plus side is that this person on twitter and i'll give this to you louis kutcher conny says bringing. get back to national identity to say the french national team which they rightly are are not african smacks of supremacy
5:29 pm
and implies that they must choose one or the other which sides being racist and this person's view is factually correct can you talk to us about that but the having to choose aspect well of course well i think it's a very personal choice to make to begin with i mean it is choice that these players need to make themselves i don't think anybody could make it for them the problem i had is that other people were trying to certain the nationality on to the french that it was excusing them it was go ahead we were going to take our cause my side out of it i just had a chat and tragically in team sorry about that carry on the government no worries no worries so my problem is that most of the articles i've read at least the people saying that it was really an african team were reason criteria is to deny the french this that could very well played to me so as i heard my and my colleagues and i forget what his name what you said while the other african ancestry well my ancestry is from gary and i don't have a french name either socceroos he's hardly a french name so if they are not crimes then my french and to me if he's the sole
5:30 pm
difference i see skin pigmentation and this is where i see that the problem and perhaps a discriminatory underpinnings of this whole theory is that every criteria that is being used to deny their freshness quote unquote could very well be applied to me or anybody who has ancestry from outside the country and according to the to the four of us we're not denied his house i'm sure he may think that he will or source and of course and i know that you're not always a number but just the fact that we're having this conversation means that some people don't adhere to them fully for example look us up on this whose parents are from spain no but nobody seems to be denying his frenchness despite having a spanish name right on your and nobody would say point. so you're opposed to his son you're. well people tell you i'm not facing the same racism as people from african or from not africa ascendance of course the only prayer is we are questioning the the frenchness are black or arabs we never question
5:31 pm
the fact that for example all trends among say if you go that's all spanish and french if i just lay example myself you know so i think that's the way people. the way people dress their french ness is very. fine the word. dutch with a different tree come from europe from africa it's obvious to me. there's a problem but. i think there's a problem there of confusion between identity on one side what makes you french and on the other side the fact that there is racism there is discrimination there's a lack of equality in the country i think these are two different issues and the same standard should be used to define frenchness whether you come from hungary
5:32 pm
spain or like me i'm jus from tunisia i was born there my family was in tunisia before the french arrived in tunisia to the french by accident and i feel one hundred percent french so that's the whole issue then there is the question of discrimination and defy the fact that this society has done division for you. yes one question for you. do people get you back to you always seems like a several times do people question your frenchness. no because there's a difference between visible minorities and non visible already and we all know you are real knowing that so have i only just came here i want to jump in here because i hear the point you were making machines and p.r. here the point you're making here you mentioned earlier that there are two different issues here you know the racism that minority groups often face and this
5:33 pm
issue of being called something other than french our community though is linking those two things so this is a common we've got live on you tube this person says racism is alive in france make no mistake people are being denied jobs and rents because of their ethnicity and minorities are profiled by police too so that's one aspect of this we also got a video comment from someone who says this is what it takes to be considered french this is are the francois own and he's actually in kazakhstan but this is what he has to say have a listen to story clean friends conception of politicians as always been civic conceptions meaning that the attachment to the french nation is solely based on people's willingness and desire to belong to really join the french.
