Hi there,\n\nThe president of Tanzania is Mr. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete who was elected in December 2005. \n\nA handsome, light-skinned man born in the historic town of Bagamoyo, he showed his passion for politics from his school days. \n\nSoon after completing his university studies he opted for a low-paying job as a secretary general of a CCM branch in rural Tanzania, instead of taking a well-paying job in town. \n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

I'd probably say white female president.  If you look in history white women got more rights before blacks did.
