I am just asking.<BR/><BR/>When I traveled to France 3 years ago I saw brown skinned people from all different origins - Africans, Indians, Caribbeans. (I fell in love more than 25 times - or maybe it was lust.) They have a larger diversity of Black people (origin wise and general looks and features) than we do here in the states.<BR/><BR/>My point is that "slavery and colonialism" while a significant source of Black people into France is certainly not the only channel. <BR/><BR/>Your comment was odd to me because absent any context it would be like a Frenchman seeing Vanessa Williams and then wondering if she was any relation to Kunta Kente'.Constructive Feedbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13417405356099504421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-45025718888875926582008-12-12T14:12:00.000-08:002008-12-12T14:12:00.000-08:00Constructive Feedback said...KeWayne:Do you mind i...Constructive Feedback said...<BR/>KeWayne:<BR/>Do you mind if I ask you a question?<BR/>Why was it that upon first seeing 3 French women with African roots you were motivated to think about "Slavery"?<BR/>**************************<BR/>CF,<BR/>Good question. When I read David's post, something clicked about the French and their antagonistic attitude towards America regarding slavery. I recalled reading where the French were very much involved in the slave trade and I asked if anybody had "...some insight on this phenomenon".<BR/><BR/>It wasn't a comment about the French or about the slavery issue in general; just a request for information.

Algerians are well-represented in soccer (Zinedine Zidane, considered the greatest player of all time by many, was of Algerian descent). Not to mention so many of the black players.<BR/><BR/>Just before the World Cup began in 2006, a french politician commented that the national team doesn't really represent France (due to the prevalence of players with African heritage). There was some outrage over that comment. <BR/><BR/>In any case, this woman is gorgeous...of mixed descent and can speak fluent French?

When I raised an eyebrow at him, he explained that the French make a BIG distinction between the two. He said that black was, well, REALLY black. I also learned that my teacher was métis as well. And all this time I thought he was just a regular black guy from Martinique.<BR/><BR/>My teacher also told me that previous winner, from Reunion, wasn't white. Again, she was a métisse, but I don't know what she was mixed with. <BR/><BR/>There is also some controversy surrounding Chloé Mortaud because she is franco-Américaine. It's the first time that a girl with a dual nationality has represented the country. She'll be at the Miss Universe pageant so you can check her out.<BR/><BR/>KeWayne, I too liked contestant #2, Miss Mayotte. Her interview, at least what I understood, was very dynamic. This law student wants to be France's Obama. Sadly for her, her makeup on the show just didn't "pop" and her hair just wasn't happening. <BR/><BR/>I checked out the Miss France web site (all in an effort to improve my French, of course) and was surprised by the number of girls whom I'd call black. None, however, would meet the French criteria for black. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for this one UBM.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-89470632950474017142008-12-09T23:08:00.000-08:002008-12-09T23:08:00.000-08:00If this is the dating game, I'll select mademoisel...<EM>If this is the dating game, I'll select mademoiselle #2 - what a smile...!!!</EM><BR/><BR/>I'm right there with you, KeWayne.
