You Can't Love a Country without Acknowledging its Atrocities: "Octobre 17" by Médine Analaysis

The Song I Discuss:    • Médine - 17 Octobre (Official Audio)   A (too) brief summary of the events (from a French governmental news source in 2021):    • October 17, 1961: A massacre of Algerians ...   To love a country is to acknowledge its faults, and I love France. I also hate that this event happened. I hate that it was covered up. I hate that it is so rarely mentioned. I hate that the memorial plaque it is routinely vandalized by clueless tourists and that the French government doesn't seem to care. Guest appearance from my late father on this one, was a bit tough to hear his voice. Thanks to the amazing work of Medine. ‪@medine‬ It is my hope that no trip to Paris will ever happen without acknowledging this dark chapter which still has much to teach us about intolerance, xenophobia and police brutality.
