The Racial Question

The racial question 

 There is a black female politician 
says Portugal is not black enough her liking
I find this preposterous.
The Portuguese who settled in Africa to make
their wealth mixed freely with the local black
population, as a result, blackness seeped in
and blended with Muslim blood.
Algarve was once a Muslim province
to the extent, the Iberians have a laid back 
attitude to time.
The female politician may get her to wish fulfilled
with a shrinking white population 
and black people from former colonies arriving
I think the day will come in the near future 
the Africanization of Portugal.
