If we Americans elected an African-American President, whom would you want it to be?

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.

most unlikely is Micheal Jackson. I think it will be...I am not sure who would make a good president

Condeleza because she has the chops and what it takes to run a country.  Hilary is a very scary person....period\n\nand if Condeleza won...she would be the first woman and black president our country ever had...it would be historical.\n\nif Hilary ran and won...it would just be hysterical...we all would be running to Mexico to live.

I think the American people are ready for a woman president. I wouldn't VOTE for Hiliary Clinton but I would vote for Condelezza Rice. I think she would make a great president. She would also make a milstone for the United States becasue she would be the first woman president and the first african american president. I hope she runs for office.

I'd like to see Barack Obama or John Edwards win the 2008 election.

Anyone who is an American citizen, and was born in the US, can theoretically be president.\n\nIt'll be a long time before the US is ready to have a minority president.  Maybe not until the minority isn't the minority.

I would pick Ronald Reagan. He was a great guy.

Either someone who didnt want blacks to have equality or someone in government, maybe the CIA or FBI.

Every night I pray that we can get Clinton back into the White House! We had a surplus budget, we weren't fighting over oil. We could still travel outside the US and not have to lie that we are from some other country. We could look other Americans in the eyes and not be ashamed, because 9 months after a natural disaster, they are still homeless, displaced and forgotten...... Hilary will work also, and Obama would be divine..................... Can you imagine what those uptight republicans would think with a woman president and a black vice president.... They would be spouting for the next 8 years!

Yes i think we will someday. i think the first step however has to be a Vice Presifent of a different race. i dont think that our country will make that big of a jump from all white presidents to a president of a different race. from what i have read so far Obama seems to be the best bet he is young and doesnt seem to take much shit. i dont know if the big money in government will allow him to make that far but i sure hope he tries.

If there were a black person who was qualified for the job.  Right now there doesn't seem to be. (If you aren't qualified you need connections like Bush) \n\n Many Americans would've voted for Colin Powell had he run way back then.\n\n I think if there were to be a black president though he would have to be a republican.  I don't see a black democrat making it.  \n\n On top of that, the odds of them getting killed while in office will be higher then for other presidents.  \n\nThere will probably be a Hispanic president before there is a black president, and a minority president before there is a woman.  \n\nI don't think it really matters who is in office at this point, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, male, female I don't see any real change coming anytime soon.  \n\nI'd personally like to see a Native American president.  \nIf we are going to elect anyone based on race, that to me would seem the most correct.

Who else would want to be Bush?

I would say its most likely to happen within the next decade or the decade following it.  I base this solely on the fact that there is not an African American candidate running for either party with a chance to win in the last election of this decade, the 2008 election (As Obama would be the African American candidate that is expected to make a bid at it, and his age and experience would contribute to a likely loss)

I actually think that the possibility exists for a black woman to be the next president of the US.  Condy Rice I feel would make an EXCELLENT president and not just of the NFL which is HER dream job.

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.
