The untalented Jewish cultural revolutionary Bob Dylan (Robert Zimmerman) made racist statements against Croats in a French publication, but will not be charged under the country’s Orwellian speech-crime laws, presumably because he is a Jew.
From the Local:
The legendary American musician was preliminarily charged with the offence in November after comments made to Rolling Stone magazine in a 2012 interview sparked a complaint from the Council of Croats in France (CRICCF).
“If you got a slave master or Klan in your blood, blacks can sense that. That stuff lingers to this day. Just like Jews can sense Nazi blood and the Serbs can sense Croatian blood,” Dylan was quoted as saying in answer to a question about race relations in the United States.
The judge ruled the 72-year-old musician had not given his consent for his comments to be published in the French-language edition of Rolling Stone, which was the basis of CRICCF’s complaint.
But she ordered the director of the magazine’s French edition to stand trial over the charges.
“I’m very happy the justice system understood that Bob Dylan never intended to hurt or defame anyone,” his lawyer Thierry Marembert told AFP.
The charge against him carried a maximum sentence of one year in prison and a fine of up to €45,000 ($62,000), although in practice penalties are usually far smaller.
