The minister you're talking about is Leopold Sedar Senghor who coined the term "negritude"... Later, under President Francois Mitterand, another black fellow was appointed Secretary of Sports --notice the subtlety here: he was not appointed "minister" but merely "secrétaire d'Etat aux Sports", ranking lower than a "Ministre".

> Look at the French, they have millions of North Africans and not one single one on the cabinet!

Do you realize why? Because during every election the French national football (soccer for us oveher) team is on TV and all North Africans are watching Zidane!
