And LSU fans here give Alabama fans hell about talking about the 1960’s. Living in the past they scream. But 387 BC? That is different.
You have to realize, the French that were sent to Louisiana weren't the best and brightest.
Hence why we have LSU fans now.

What heritage are people from Alabama even from generally? It’s so funny that their state is made up of a bunch of fricking inbred retards that look like their grandfathers were kicked out of Amish camps for being too stupid and they would still talk about the genetics of any other state. When I lived in Alabama, if I would’ve seen another grown man with a 50 IQ and a Pete Rose frat swoop haircut I would’ve thrown up.

I don’t know if you’re just being dense or you’re truly ignorant to this, but given that France has easily given up or has been whipped often throughout history, this has led to the stigma that the French are pussies
They’re likely referring to this, and they’re using it to troll
Must’ve triggered you bad because here you are making a thread about it seeking validation

The Frogs managed to lose to Germany in 1870 before Germany was even a country.

Since you love France so much, you need to brush up on your Arabic. That is what they will be speaking there in 20 years. Maybe less.
I typically disagree with everything you say but you’re not wrong on this one. Same with UK. 7 out of 10 new elementary school enrollments in the UK are from the Middle East, or something like that. Crazy.
Back to the French, it’s just an old stereotype that everyone likes to say, but it’s true historically especially since WW2 and maybe even since the revolution. And as an aside I’ve been to France many times and the French are jerks.

I’m the biggest Francophile on tRant so I support you 100%.
I enjoyed the French people and culture when I went to Paris last year. Sure, they can be a little snooty and curt. But we have some important things in common. We share a love of Liberty, and we share a history of violent revolution against a tyrannical monarchy. I’d say that makes them valuable allies, particularly in todays world of Globalism and a push for a One World Government. We need more countries like France in the world, not less.
As for WWII, Germany was a juggernaut. Hard to blame the French for getting steamrolled. Had England been connected to the European mainland, they would’ve gotten fricked too. The Belgians and Dutch got taken extremely quickly but we don’t consider them to be pussies. It took 2 of the biggest countries in the world, the US and Russia, teaming up to defeat the Germans.
I think a lot of the contemporary hate towards the French stems from their disapproval of the US invasion of Iraq after 9/11. Remember “Freedom Fries”? A lot of people in the US got worked up into a lather about France by the media. In hindsight, it’s clear that the French were correct that our invasion of Iraq was a dumb idea.

Why would you screen shot posts that are in this very thread? That is stupid. But you are of French decent.
If you want to see what sacrifice looks like, you should visit the Normandy American Cemetery. And while you are there, you should just go ahead and stay.

I have zero French heritage. I’m just trying to figure out why Alabama fans think being French or having bloodlines that go back to France is an insult
It’s not just Alabama fans. Everyone despises the fricking surrender frogs known as the French.

Were you not taught that the only reason the French sent limited aide to the colonies was that it was an inexpensive means to hurt the British? And that the official French aide didn’t arrive until the war was all but over? That the threat of French armies has more powerful in the war than actual French armies?
France didn’t recognize the colonials as an independent nation until 1778
Napoleon sold the US the Louisiana Purchase because he thought the US was so weak that he could reclaim it my force once he took Europe.
That sending troops and ships at the end of the war was the sole time French helped the US. In the war of 1812 the French sat it out. In the conflict with the Barbary pirates the French stayed home, in the Spanish American war they, like all of Europe sent diplomats not troops. By WWI we were not willing to go to their aid until Britain was threatened, ditto for WWII. We did invade the French colony of indochina (Vietnam) but only after the French withdrawal.
To say France was such an important ally is short sighted at best and a product of a lazy education. Confusing the friend of my enemy as a true friend does not reflect reality. France was Englands enemy and the US used that in the war with England, nothing more nothing less. Remember the French and Indian war was still fresh in most colonists minds and distrust of the French was the norm.
I am glad I avoided the us public school system

Because your ancestors were the rejects and misfits the French exiled to Loserana.

You should probably quit this argument. Just like the French quit when they were attacked by Germany

millions of French men who sacrificed themselves for their country
Those men don’t exist anymore. The bulk of the strength of the French bloodline died out during the Napoleonic wars.
What was left is what has given us:
Catastrophic arse whoopings at the hands of the Germans - resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in resources and thousands of allied lives lost over the course of 2 World Wars in which the French couldn’t defend themselves due to their own limp wrists.
Withdrawal from Vietnam, which left Americans paying the bill for French ineptitude in one of the most difficult military conflicts in World History.
Internationally, we are saddled with bleeding heart pussies in Canada who demand French be spoken by government officials, to include a law requiring all announcements on Canadian airplanes to be made in English and in French.
The LSU fanbase and football program, which may be the largest collective group of pussies on the entire internet & sports world. Yellow pants to match their yellow bellies.
Hope this helps.
