  1. And now to the big misfortune of the Western world and of France in particular, you are trying to poison Western societies and France in particular with your cancer that is Anglo-Saxon society and WASP…

    A society which is not a real national population of living together but a series of communities closed on themselves, often even racist, who live next to each other! You are the dumbass of this world.

    France is not your cancer of Anglo-Saxon society!

    Modern France was built on one people and one nation living TOGETHER in one and the same community: The French community which has always been enriched by new contributions to make it a new single national entity richer than the previous one. !

    In France we are not black, we are not Catholic, we are not Protestant, we are not Muslim, we are first and foremost the rest French and French citizen!

    JB is not black, is not Catholic or Protestant, stop wanting to inject us with your disease and current cancer of Anglo-Saxon society, JB is above all FRENCH, A FRENCH CITIZEN and a French heroine!

  2. She born US but she died 100% French.

    — Her heroic acts and her military engagement for the benefit of France at war —

    JB to the head of the French intelligence services at the start of WW2:

    "France did what I am, France gave me everything, I in turn am ready to give everything to France. You can dispose of me as you do will until my life that I give to France. "

    From the start of WW2, JB actively engaged in the war for the benefit of the military intelligence of her (new and second) country (I recall that she was naturalized as a French citizen in 1937).

    During "the funny war" from 1939 to June 1940, she made free song tours for the benefit of the French army, and raised funds to aid the war effort.

    After the sad defeat of June 1940, she refused until the Liberation in 1944 to perform and sing in front of the German Nazi occupiers.

    But above all, she actively continued to be a French intelligence agent taking advantage of her notoriety and her knowledge of a famous artist but now within the internal French Resistance for the benefit of the Free French armed forces and General De Gaulle based in England and French Africa.

    To thank her, in 1943, General De Gaulle himself offered her the emblem of Free France, a gold jewel in the shape of a Cross of Lorraine.

    And her involvement in the French resistance from the inside was not a walk in the park, she simply risked her life!

    For example, by hiding French resistance fighters, French and foreign Jews in his castle. They reported after anecdotes of German soldiers searching the castle while they (French resistance fighters) were hidden deep in the cellars and dungeons of the castle!

    Excerpts from President Macron's speech for JB's entry into the Pantheon:

    – "You were born abroad but basically there is no more French than you".

    – "You loved France more than anything …"

    – And the end of the speech: "And when at the end of your career, adapting the words of one of your greatest successes, you proclaim" My country is Paris ", each of us this evening sings this refrain sounding like a hymn to love: My France is Joséphine."

    While with her wealth, after June 1940 she could have left far from France, she chose to stay and fight in the Internal Resistance, risking her fortune and her life!

    A Grande Dame, a Grande Frenchwoman of the 20th century!

    She fully deserves to enter the Pantheon!

    Especially for a Dame who was not born French but who became French in the depths of her soul and her sacrifices for France. In France we summarize that by the sentence "Française par les actions et le sang versé pour la France" -> French by actions and bloodshed for France.

    She is an example to follow for all French citizens of the 21st century.

    In a private capacity, I'm even happier because I'm one of the proud French citizens who signed a petition a year and a half ago for her to enter the Pantheon!

    And now to the big misfortune of the Western world and of France in particular, you are trying to poison Western societies and France in particular with your cancer that is Anglo-Saxon society and WASP…

    A society which is not a real national population of living together but a series of communities closed on themselves, often even racist, who live next to each other! You are the dumbass of this world.

  4. Getting tired of global African pandering. France isn't even France anymore. It's becoming more of a middle eastern/African country by the day.

  9. Joséphine Baker was a few American who spoke French perfectly, when you decide to move and live in an other country, you have to embrace its culture, to integrate with the local population and be able to speak the local language…….if not you have to leave these country and go to an other country. These rule is the rule for all foreigners living in any country.

  12. Yaay🤗💪♥️😍🥰😘 so Spike Lee when are you going to make a movie about JoJo? I want to see that banana dance and all her heroism recreated on the big screen IMAX and I want to see Mya play JoJo… not that any other movie producer couldn't do it but I know you'll put some umh on it 😄

  17. “You know, friends, that I do not lie to you when I tell you I have walked into the palaces of kings and queens and into the houses of presidents. And much more. But I could not walk into a hotel in America and get a cup of coffee, and that made me mad. And when I get mad, you know that I open my big mouth.” Josephine Baker

  23. OMG, EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED

  24. She is honored in this way and some petty tour guide takes issue with it? Does he not understand the risk she exposed herself to? Gonna complain about stereotypes and skirts? Some body tap him in the nuts with a pitchfork please!

  29. Josephine Baker , an entertainer, activist was also a pilot….As an African American college-educated female, it is disgraceful that Jim Crow America never gave so many Black artists their flowers here at home…the racism is still prevalent here.

  30. The questions is: Why dirty media like CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC AND ABC coverage nothing about context of Hunter Biden' notebook , the deals between Hunter Biden with China Electric power and the possibility Hunter Biden and your own dealings (Paintings) to money laundring. Why this media hide all informations for your own audience? You, Joe Biden followers should think about this and try to be honest with you same!

  33. MAN COME ON it was not about her dance… she is not being honored for her performances it was for her ability to move encrypted data. I am pleased for her to be recognized because they would have definitely killed her if she got caught no questions. I coming to her defense because in order to make it she had to play to what ever audience.

  34. It's nice to give somebody finally they just do only after their died.👎🏼 when you could have gave them they're just due while she was alive.‼️ the racism that went on during that time was horrible. and in humane but thank God she has a name for herself Long live a gorgeous lady. Rip Josephine Baker 👌🏼🎇🎊🥰💯‼️😇🥃💫👌🏼😎📺😉✔️💫

  39. Wonderful! Vive La Baker (as she is called in France)! I lived and studied and loved in France and as a Black girl, teenager, I felt tremendous welcome and like home (except in French!). In the Basque Country of Pau, I lived with a lovely gentleman named Roger who said as a boy he’d never forget the sight of the Black American soldiers who liberated his town marching through and he was happy to return the favor of welcome to me. What goes around comes around! 🇫🇷🇺🇸🥰

  41. this life is temporary a nice news is believing in Jesuchrist you have the salvation and eternal life

    Romans 10 : 9 and 10 , St John 14 : 6 , St John 3 : 16 , St John 1 : 12
