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.

I would actually love to see both a Black man and a woman run for office at the same time, since this has never happened in the history of the us presidential elections, I think we all need to be open minded and think that both a woman or a black man are perfectly capable of runiing this country.  I also think this could happen as early as the 2008 elections with Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on the ticket.

Two senators and two representatives.\n\nEvery stae has two senators.  The number of representatives is dependent on the state's populatrion and can change after each census.

I could be that 69% of black families are born out of wedlock. 62% of Black families (up from 23% in 1967) are now headed by single women.

"The first black Member of Congress was Hiram Rhodes Revels (R-MS), who served in the Senate in the 41st Congress (1870)."

from the last census 3.2% of the Uk population identify themselves as black or mixed black of which approximatley half are women: 1.8%. As there are 60,000,000 people in Britain you can assume that  there are 1,080,000 black women, again this is approximate but as 64% of women are between 16&64 if there is an even split then 14400 women account for each age year then there are around 216,000 black and mixed women in the UK

J.C. Watts was the last one elected, remember.But, how many black republicans running for congressional office do you see? Blacks are statring to ebb away from the democratic party slowly, but they have to endure cultural pressure everytime they think outside of the democratic box. They get called things like "uncle tom" and "traitor" because they have a different political philosophy. To me that is not only a shame for the black culutre, but it hurts diveristy of thought. \n\nAnd the funny thing is that most blacks are conservative and are more inline with Republican values. Everything from the sanctity of marriage to school votures. On more issues then not, the black culture can be found in agreement with conservatives. \n\n But placing color (and gender) aside, we should NEVER vote for people based on their skin color. As a great man once said, we shouldn't judge people by the color of their skin, but on the content of their character. Is that so bad, or is King wrong? Republicans have voted for black people, they have held offices in the senate and in congress, and they have held some of the offices in the white house (Rice and Powell). Making such uneducated statements about half the country only makes you a bigot (and PLEASE look up the definition of the word bigot, it may change your life).\n\n\nGodspeed

There's only 2 senators per state, and they are part of the "senate".\nThe others' numbers are determined by population, and they vote in the House of Representatives.\nThe senators are a little higher on the ladder.
