Is America (US) ready for a black president?

1) Yes, Condi or Obama are accepted widely.

2) No, not yet.

What do you think?

Welcome to sciforums. Did you sign up because you were burning to ask that specific question?

I am not from outer-space if that's what you mean.

I just thought it was a little odd for a first post, that's all. Never mind.

We need David Palmer.

wonder what wouldbve happened if jamwes brow bexcame president? i think, in some ways, al shaerpton would be bettter than the ones mentioned.

It'll be a pretty cold day in Hell when the US elects a black president. We have a looooonnnnnnng, long ways to go to accept a black president ...or a woman, for that matter. Tokens are okay, but not for the biggies.

I think Hillary should count as a man, just ask Bill.

[Athelwulf]

I sure hope it is. But we'll just have to see.

Of course, I wouldn't pick a black guy over a white guy merely for being black — nor vice versa. I'm interested in merit, as should everyone be.

I would not like either a black person or a woman. On account of the fact that I'm a white male, I like my government representatives to be as similar to me as possible.

Condi Rice for 2008? Female and black.

Sometimes I wonder if its only possible if they represented a conservative party. Like Thatcher did in the UK to become the first female Prime Minister.

[Prince_James]

For the record: I'd like to see Maggie Thatcher naked.

Condoleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeza Rice is mixed race isn't she?

What about the other one?

No, America is not ready for a Black President. I think Obama will be Vice President if Hilary can win. I'd think Hilary will have a difficult time winning being a woman, I think a Black President would not even get a chance to run. We saw what happened to Martin Luther King, maybe he could have been the first Black President, or at least involved in politics, and he was assasinated.

Wow this is the most honest political post I've ever seen from you.

[spidergoat]

America is ready for a black or woman president. Long overdue in fact. Of course they should be good candidates on their own merits in addition to the incidental nature of their race or sex.

Condi doesn't have a chance in hell.

Hillary says she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, first to climb Mt. Everest, but unfortunately for Hillary and her fabulous tale, Sir Edmund climbed Everest four years after she was born, so maybe they waited four years to name her just to have a muy macho name for her?

[spidergoat]

IAC, what does that have to do with anything?

[JetPilot]

I think we need a mixture. Micheal Jackson would make both blacks and whites happy.

[IceAgeCivilizations]

We were talking about electable (or not) candidates, did you know that Sir Edmund stuff about Hillary? Fascinating, she'll lie about that, so what more would be in store?
