Non caucasian male for president?

I think we will have a caucasian female for president way before we have a non-caucasian male.  Lots of people are not racist (or not very racist), but way more than you may think, are.

No, because People are going to be looking and judging if a black guy is president. He would have to be the best president ever, the slightest mistake everyone will regret picking a black person as president. You know how it is, people will not look at him/her as what good they could do. But they will be look at as when will he make a mistake and screw up. But there can be, but only if they are the best ever.\n\nEX my friends like to play Madden football video games because that all their use to. When I showed them ESPN 2k5 and said if they play it they would like it. But instead of playing it to like it, they played it to find all the faults in the game. None of the things they said where faults in the game, it just that it's different then what they are use too. The point is, they wasn't trying to like the game, but trying to find any faults in it. That way they can go back knowing that change isn't good. Same with a black president, even if he's better tahn any white president. People will remember his faults and not always his qualities, and no one is perfect.

I think it is rather likely there will be a black president sometime during the 21st Century.  There are several well-qualified potential candidates now but I don't see most of them seeking the office.

That would be so great!!  But the canidate would have to stay away from selling out.  We have so many that make it in politics because of our voting power, but then get tripped up with all the hoopla surrounding them.  Henry Cisneros comes to mind, in this instance, he forgot where he came from.  If you watched the Alma Awards the president of La Raza, a Latina, was so well spoken and her agenda sounded refreshing for a change. She would be a prime canidate, but I don't know her name!!? :(  I think it is foolish to believe white old men are the only ones capable of running our country.  I'm prepping my son for the great opportunity to become President of the United States, So Watch out America, He's Laaaaaaatino! :  )

We need a President that won't bullsh*t, mislead, or disregard the constitutional rights of the people.  Is doesn't matter what sex or race or religion they happen to be.  I can't think of any good candidates to suggest - male or female but I added a link that might help settle the debate between your Uncles. It is the website of THE CENTER FOR AMERICAN WOMEN AND POLITICS.

Yes there will be a woman president someday - of course it will happen. Whoever is qualified (male or female) will become elected, and at this point there isn't anyone standing out. While I know a woman will become President, I sure hope the first isn't Hillary Clinton - Condi would be a better choice.

I think that some Caucasians are worried about minorities like us taking their place in the political and business world. Politics and business equals control and Caucasians know that, so they may be intimidated by that.

Everybody gets there a different way.  The only actual restrictions that I can think of off-hand is that you must be at least 35 years old and you must have been born in the United States.\n\nAlthough all of our past Presidents have been white males, they have had many different backgrounds, but perhaps the most popular aside from being born into wealth is probably being a lawyer or a general in the military.

Well 1st of all I do question why are we even using the term African-American on Blacks that weren't even born in Africa.\n\nJesse Peterson who is Black himself said it best when he said "I am not an African-American, I am an American."\n\nAs far as Black president I would like to see either Alan Keyes or Condoleeza Rice as President.\n\nAlthough heck if we had to go for someone in Hollywood then definetly Denzel Washington.\n\nOk I disagree with the fact Morgan Freeman did support Kerry for President in 2004 but I gotta say I am imprssed though with a lot of his intellegence and respectful behavior though :)\n\nFor instance I liked the points he raised on how wrong it is to confine the History of Blacks to just one Month because Black History is part of American History.\n\nIt's like yeah I prefer to look at figures from History Black and White not based on what Skin Color they had but based upon who they were and what they did.\n\nGeorge Washington Carver is a great inspiration to a lot of people for example and seriously his accomplishments by the grace of God are more important than Skin color.\n\nI would like to see a Black person become President someday but I don't want such a person to be elected based on Skin color, I want the person elected because he/she is the person for the job.\n\nFor instance in my State Michigan a Black man named Keith Butler is running but I decided that I was going to check things on different Republicans running for U.S. Senate to see exactly who I should support such as where candidates stood on the issues.\n\nIt appears that yes Keith Butler and I do see eye to eye on enough issues for me to decide im supporting him for U.S. Senate.

If anyone knew the answer to that, they wouldn't be wasting their time answer questions here.\n\nI can tell you that the next American president, will be a white male, over the age of 35, with no criminal record, a wife and two children with a 98% probability.

There could be, if the cards were played right.\n\nSee, although this is probably not the way it would go, ANY form of race or minority (other than White) could make it into Presidential office if they did the right things. See, here's a theoretical play-by-play:\n\n* The early campaigning days. Running as a black candidate will pick up the "excluded minority supporting" votes as well as blacks with chips on their shoulders (such as Black Panther).\n* The counterarguments. Essentially, if any opponent were to disagree, they could play the minority card, discount the opponent as a "hater" and/or "racist" and rally "diversity and tolerance" voters to their side.\n* The issues. With little room for doubt, a Black candidate would be mostly Liberal, given that Conservatives are stereotyped to be racists. Recall that Kanye West claimed that "George Bush doesn't care about blacks" (or something to that extent).\n\nThis is a defeatist possibility, but entirely possible. I'm sure that in a more realistic situation, a black candidate would run with dignity, honor, and respect for his fellow competitors, regardless of race.

How about "He's not George W. Bush. Vote for _______"?

I am not a racist. I didnt vote Republican last time. I do prefer SUV's.

Probably for the same reason that there have been no other minorities in the presidency.\n\nIs it fair?  Of course not, but sadly enough, that's how it is.

I would definitely vote for a woman. The idea that women are too emotional is a stereotype. Even so, I'd rather have someone who is emotional and sensitive over someone whose emotion is expressed in mindless bravado, like the current president. Unfortunately, the red states will never go for a woman and the GOP won't have a woman as their candidate until the 22nd century. They seem to run about 100 years behind progress.

I dont think it would really matter. In fact I think a strong assertive woman...who is still compassionate and realistic would work nicely. We dont need anyone whos a bit obsessed or overly driven about becoming the president. Just someone who feels they have something to offer. Not some agenda or thing to proove.
