Mbappé

It feels really nice when you think poorly (very poorly) of someone and then you are proven wrong. That's what has happened to me recently with the French football player, Mbappé, after reading this exemplary interview.

I have to say that I don't like football, watching it and even less playing. I particularly hate the business around it, the idolatry for some players that in too many occasions are just a bunch of arrogant rednecks... Anyway, 3 years ago, due to some personal circunstances, I quite followed the world cup, and I first knew about this French player, Kylian Mbappé. The guy seemed quite humble, well behaved, a normal French guy born to immigrant parents, that having grown up in a poor neighbourhood (in the infamous Seine-Saint-Denis department) was very far away from Anti-French Maghrebian scum (racaille) like Benzema...

However, in the last year a couple of things made me think that Mbappé was just one more "Francais de papier", with no other interest in France than sucking it dry... After the brutal murder by an Islamist of French teacher Samuel Patty several members of the French National team recorded a video to promote respect for the Educational System and its workers. How odd that not a single Muslim player decided to take part in that video... Mbappé was also missing, which even led some people to fear that he had converted to Islam (he was raised as a Christian)... Little after that I found that he had given a signed t-shirt to an Islamist Russian MMA Champio that had asked for "punishing" Charlie Hebdo and its readers. Yes, it's pretty likely that Mbappé knew nothing about this... but well, it didn't smell good to me. By the way, a Russian Islamist... if you still think that Putin is a protector of Christianity you better face reality... Putin is in pretty good terms with the Islamists ruling Chechnya, he did not side at all with Christian Armenians against Turkish Islamist Azerbaijan scum... and so on, and so on...

So when I read the aforementioned interview I was pretty delighted. Mbappé is an idol for many French youngsters, many of them young guys of immigrant descent living in bad areas. All the French youth (but particularly those of non-French ancestry) are subject day after day to a massive stream of anti-French propaganda, vomited by the Left, the Islamists and the Indigenists... "You have to hate France for its evil past and its evil present, you have to identify with the culture of your ancestors rather than the culture of this country, you have to reject to assimilate..." So when the child of 2 immigrants says what he says in that interview, it's important, really important. Many others have said it, like Patrice Quarteron, but they can not reach such a crowd as Mbappé.

I'm going to translate below (sorry for my lack of skills) part of the interview:

• Are you very attached to France?
  Absolutely. I was born in France, I've grown up in France, France has given everything to me. And I try to give in return, each time that I play with the National Team. I think that my love for France does not need to be proved. Playing for France is above anything.
  
  
• Let's talk about your origins (Cameroonian and Algerian). Is Identity a concern for you?
  No. But I can understand that you ask me about. For me, that's always been clear: I've been born in France, my parents are French, I've grown up in France. I'm 100% French. For sure, I'm very proud of my origins, because that's part of my history, my roots. But me, my contry, it's France.
  
  
• You often talk about "the New France". Do you define yourself as black or arab?
  Not at all. For me, saying that you are black, arab, white, is creating a wall, and in this new France, there are no walls, we are all together.
  
  
• However, there are strong tensions around this issues...
  We should not see France darker that it is! For sure I think that there are problems in this country, but I swear to you, me, someone who is lucky to travel a lot, that this is a very good country.
  
  
• Your parents enrolled you in a private, catholique school. Are you religious?
  I am a believer, but not a practitioner. This college was chosen because of its calm, it gave me an environment that I needed. I was a turbulent, hyperactive child.
  
  
• Your love for France, it comes from your parents?
  I've always been educated with this form of recognition for France, because France does things for other people, and to me and my parents, she has given us a lot. Therefore you have to be proud of your country. The Americans are proud of being Americans. Why French peopler are not proud of being French?
  

The interview was originally published in a "progressist" magazine, so I can imagine that the journalist was a Left-wing idiot. The questions are very insistent on the same topic, very inquisitional, as if he was expecting the typical answer that the Left loves ("France is evil, France is racist, you evil colonizers...") and as he was getting just the contrary he could not understand it and continued to insist, anxious for a "normal" answer. No way, question after question the answers are perfect, I can taste the feeling of dismay of the blood thirsty Leftist journalist :-D

An additional, very important point. You can read that he attended a Catholic School. We can guess that if he had attended a Public School in Seine Sant Denis, with a majority of Left wing teachers and a 90% of muslim pupils, Mbappé would be now quite a different (worse) person, maybe he would be closer to Benzemá than to the person he is.
