Is the dark chocolate lady in the background that should have gotten the position, the marionette politicians we have that seeking white validation always find some Syrian or indian Ron saunders or Caucasian or light skin for these post as though they are apologizing for our skin color, I remembered that Gaston said he appointed the late asot as tourism minister because white people feel comfortable doing business with white people, and that continued with max Fernandez appointment, robin better get back young so he can be the next tourism minister since they are are all white men.
Ms. Hechme is mixed Arab/Negro…What does that have to do with it…As long as you can do the job….Congrats Zeina.
