Last week, the Marseillaise was booed during a friendly match between the Team Tunisia our national team.
It was an immediate outcry from the politico-media, with the key measures of emotional rapids highly demagogic. 
speech, again, focused on the event itself, calling for immediate sanctions and condemnation. I have not seen much critical discourse the question of why this event, the question "why?" this animosity vis-à-vis a symbol of our country: anthem.
In July 2006, I wondered what became national sentiment in this country . Today I come to the conclusion that we are far from this, and despite the successive generations, some still do not feel French. It is a fact. Yet another component of our society is ready for the "feel French? Here is the question! If this were the case, the daily injustices experienced by the very people who whistle would be marginal. In my post from March 2007 named "Between justice and injustice" , I note that this marginality is actually a generality.
should therefore French in France which are not regarded as such by other French, and which therefore do not feel French themselves. It is a form of schizophrenia or traumatic perfectly these "second-class French" are in fact rejected everywhere. Do not forget that in the country of origin of their parents or grandparents, they are anything but "home". Unlike
analysis to conclude that punch so behind that they need only return "home", I argue that these whistles are illustrating their attachment to France . And then there! "He smoked the Titophe what?" Will tell you!
Let me explain: These whistles are an expression of pain, a constant frustration for the rejection and consistently downplayed or even denied. It is pain to dream finally full members of this society one of whose symbols is his anthem. They would be able to sing in unison, with all their fellow citizens, their commitment to a country that considers them part of his. But this is not the case. So, refusing hypocrisy, these whistles are reacting to the rejection of which they experience every day. Is directly related hatred of the West mentioned Jean Ziegler.
This speech, you say, is much easier. Every twist is not only one side and plovers are also sometimes the architects of their own rejection. True, but it's a vicious circle he'll have to open one day, if we do not want that to continue in was increasing dangerously.
These whistlers when they are treated as ordinary citizens, will be the first to defend the Marseillaise, as it will also be their anthem with them. For now, they do not simply. Offer them!
I close with a somewhat provocative question: La Marseillaise, is not one of the strongest symbols of the colonial era?
I can not resist the temptation to share this version of La Marseillaise given by the eternal Graeme Allwright:
La Marseillaise
For all children of the earth
Singin 'love and freedom. Against
all the hatred and wars
The banner of hope is lifted
The standard of justice and peace.
Gathering Strength, courage
To overcome the misery and fear reign
That deep in our hearts the joy
friendship and sharing.
The flame that enlightens us,
Crossing borders
Let's go, go, friends, supportive
Walk toward the light.
Graeme Allwright, Sylvie Dien
