A Black Man is Running for President in France!

Patrick Lozès, founder and former president of CRAN - the Conseil Représentatif des Associations Noirs - is running for president in France!

Although census records in France do not report population by ethnic category, Lozès believes that the black population consists of approximately 5 million persons, of which 80% are French citizens. Similarly, the majority of the "Arab-Maghreb" population of 6 million persons is also French. Though his candidacy will undoubtedly appeal to these segments of the population, Lozès says that he intends to campaign among all of France's approximately 61 million citizens. He says that he believes in France, that he has confidence in its values, and that he knows what he "owes to the Republic."

Lozès will be the second black candidate for France's highest elected office. The first was Christiane Taubira, deputy for French Guiana in the National Assembly (analogous to the U.S. House of Representatives), who ran for president in 2002.

France's next presidential election will be held in April 2012.

It's not a 100 metre sprint so there is a good chance of a paleface winning.

And I wonder if they too will hand out the Jim Jones' like Kool-Aid! They can elect him, and the French fools who vote for him can then all line up in Paris holding each other, crying with their hands in the air.

OK I'll shut up now. I am even disgusting myself with this one.

So wait a minute... a black guy and a veiled muslim woman are running for president in France, who else is running? They really won't have much of a choice, it seems.
