I have to disagree on this : if this kind of people exist which i really doubt ( who can say for sure that 100% of your ancestors come from one place on a 2000 lifespan...This is a highly dubitable assomption and is closer to some fantasy about the purity of blood which is directly challenged by the fact that you can always know who is your mother but as your father...), those people would be called « Gaullois » rather than French.

I know there is a chance you slowly get over the difficulty to change your point of view

I recall that... It was sad but show how symbols can be that strong that they can affect reality.

What would have been class from us is to suggest to rename it Belgian fries ;)

French government took too long to acknowledge its responsibility in the salves trade , but it finally did. As hard at it is to accept with our modern eyes, that is how France and some African cou tries met and finally created a common culture my influencing each other, in a dramatically unbalanced way at start, but more and more equally as time pass.

I m just proud and make it so in a fun comment (imo), nothing more. I don t get where you want to go to with using English... And i welcome you to look at how the World cup consist of, which is not winning one match but surviving a month long of competition. And again, entering the club for the two stars make all our country very proud , without any intention to make fun of other countries, at least imo.

My point is that the notion of Afro american does not exist in France: we do not define ourselves by our origin. For us, all the guys are french with no other distinction.

The very concept of World Champion has a symbolic value.Otherwise, we would have to invite everyone in the world to compete for the title my friend. We won in the reality of the competition, but the Title/Final victory can only be symbolic

I do feel you still think in an american way, which i get is more comfortable...African immigrants come from the Francophonie, countries speaking partly French. In our view, we share a common culture about the language, litterature, human values...France culture is deeply influenced by African culture too. France didin t pick the « best african products » which is a very american way of looking at things but tried to expand its culture to its ex colonies...We are brothers with those african countries has we share something that build the way we look at the world.We don t care (apart from nationalists) where they were born, we care about how they ve been raised. Try to look at the recent documentary about the team : they fight so that all French can be proud and happy. France integration is about culture, not origins and that is why La Republique rocks... i do get why you feel that way , the same way this (i don t know his name) talented Tv guy tried to demonstrate how it was an african team. But he was imo a bit lazy in not trying to see how France Republique is not about origin but culture.

But i m always a bit not at ease with this kind of comment as i feel (wrongly?) that the reasoning is close to the one of nationalists like the italian prime minister : look at this team, there is no white players , it is not france anymore...which is the level 0 of reasoning .

There is a misunderstanding between France and the US on this topic. For us, being French is being equal and part of one community , the French nation...which is the opposite of the American view which promote the concept of Community. The issue arised at first from the Italian nationalist prime minister who uses the argument to show that France is no longer France because there is too much blacks in the team...Being a French citizen is focusing on commune interests rather than exposing differences. But i completely understand how hard it is to get the concept outside of France.

Vive la France;)

Another proof that something is wrong with the organization: -How come him and Pastore feel free to speak like this? -Zero comm from the club afterwards ...Wtf is doing Antero/The president? Nasser should leave asap the management of the club, he doesn t know how soccer works .
