France is years ahead of other colonial powers in so many ways, then an imperialist overlord in others It’s weird.

I like Florianne of Martinique tho.

Don't really follow nor care about beauty pageants, how so? :jbhmm:
There's a musical chairs scenario at play with the story. These women are past contenders in the two contests for Miss France.
One was runner up at the most recent one.,The winner stepped away, so that the runner up could compete.
Seems like an effort by France to promote/project itself a certain way internationally. You made a similar comment about the Baker honor last year.

Name some examples besides these token gestures
Josephine Baker is referenced earlier, but a handful of AA artists and intellectuals lived or relocated to France during the Jim Crow era because of the differences between the social and legal restrictions between the two countries.

This isn’t a token gesture.

Imagine the UK sending a dark skin Jamaican chick as their female skin emissary.

French involvement in Mail insurrection at great personal expense with a hostile regime.

Leading direct investor in Africa and makes more trips to the continent than any other colonial power,

Lack of a commonwealth (one might argue that’s because they kept their holdings)

Francophone lands hold the most Blacks in the world where they do better than those living in Anglopgone countries (Blacks in France are more politically active than Blacks in the United Kingdom, for example with much more high level positions like the recent minister of education). Obama gets elected in France way before England or Germany.

Dont wanna derail the God’s thread, I’m aware of continued evil they do to our ppl.

both Martinique and Guadeloupe are french overseas regions, Jamaica is an independent nation.

please tell me you're a Frenchman and not one of them francophone c00ns in France thinking they are French :gucci:

The French got kicked out of Mali cause they were tired of the exploitation and disrespect, They made great profits off of that land, what expense?
In what francophone countries are black people doing better than the rest? Mali, Congo, Haiti, Cote D'Ivoire? which one? How are they doing compared to Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Kenya etc.

not doubting that. But these are french colonies. Don't see the need to celebrate a colonizer telling its subjects you can finally send some of your women to represent us in a pageant, most people from those nations might rather independence
