"Current Values" represents the deputy Danièle Obono as a slave

His name is featured on the magazine's front page this week. “Danièle Obono in the days of slavery! Is it announced on the cover of Valeurs Actuelles . Behind this title hides an episode of the newspaper's “political-fiction of the summer” which has fun imagining a parallel reality. In the August 27 edition, the journalists set out to tell the story of "Obono the African, where the rebellious MP experiences the responsibility of Africans in the horrors of slavery", in the words of the article.

In addition to accumulating stereotypes over the seven pages devoted to this subject, the illustrations of the magazine are shocking. Among them, a drawing representing Danièle Obono, chains around her neck, as a slave. The MP reacted on her Twitter account on Friday. “It seems 'That We-Can-Could-Nothing-Say', she comments. Fortunately, we can still write racist shit in a tea towel illustrated by the images of a black African French deputy repainted as a slave… The extreme right, odious, stupid and cruel. In short, equal to itself. "
