1870: it is always the Second Empire in France, it is question of the restoration of the slavery as it was the case with Napoleon 1st in 1802; the slavery of non-whites has just been abolished in the US, it still exists in Cuba, Brazil; The massive deportations of non-white colonized people from India, Africa and China, to make up for the lack of "e;furniture-slaves"e; and to work in the service of the "e;beke"e;, are topical. This "e;Lubin affair"e; is significant of the racist (antimelanist) and colonialist arrogance of the French power, particularly the beke who consider non-whites (melanoderms) still as their slaves, as their "e;furniture"e;, their "e;imported ebony from Africa, denying the humanity of non-white people. Is it necessary to recall the existence of the codified laws in the Black Code and its ordinances including that of 9 February 1779 which "e;formally forbids negroes to wear clothes identical to those of whites, requires respect and submission for all whites in general"e;.
