Thread: What would happen if the United States elected a Black President?

If Obama gets elected as president.....he will of course make history.......
I think that America is totally ready for a fresh face.....either a black man or a woman.....
Come one.....anybody is better that Bush....I can't wait for the day when he leaves office.....
I think that Obama has a lot of great ideas for the future and he will bring a fresh perspective to the modern day politics..
He is very popular........I mean...he did win the Iowa caucus...and that does speak a lot of words for the upcoming election.......

It wont happen this time, He just wont carry the south. There are too many racist & sexist ppl in this county still. There not ready for a black or woman president. Maybe in the next one or more in likely the one after that.

Yes anyone is better that bush, but to racist a black man isn't. Thats why the Democrats always lose, they pick the wrong ppl to represent them. Can you say Al Gore? If they would pick some older lookin white guy like Clinton, hed win in a landslide.

i have to i think its possible but if it were to happen i think there would be problems.
cause the rasist wouldn't like being run by a black man.

and as for a women i dont thnk any women is suited for being able to rule over so many people. I have my resons and i am women my self so yea.

Maybe fifty years down the road this country will be ready for a Black President. Just the fact that Obama is the first black candidate to win in the Iowa caucus is a sign that some Americans are comfortable with a Black man running the country.

Countless other nations have had strong successful woman leaders in the past. So why can't we follow the trend? Pakistan had Bhutto (who died recently died. Which is a shame.) France has a female president (can't think of her name), Britan also had Margret Thatcher.

I would actually want Obama to succeed, granted he maybe young but he seems dedicated and could really help this country out. Same with Hillary.

What is the worst thing that could happen when a black persident is elected. most of the damage is done alreay. like the war and other stuff.Does colour really matter when electing for a president or a leader in this world.

what would it matter if America got a black president. I dont understand why white people discriminate black people
