An African American president - When ?
 

I'm sure we will have a woman president before we have an african american one.

by 2050 ?

Al Sharpton 2008

Condi Rice perhaps? That'll be long before 2050 and a double whammy for the Republicans.

I hope soon...i'm sick of the medical marijuana b.s.

P Diddy 2008

he would probably get sickle cell anemia anyways and die.

old black men dont do too well.

i thought it was going to be colin powell for sure, but he's so fed up..

"go get the car Colin" "go wash the hellicopter"....

cunnilingus rice is a good one, she is another puppet just like curious george...

where can I find some nude pics of that hot Rice babe?

and to answer your question, you'll have a black president as soon there's a (democratically elected) white one in South Africa -------> NEVER

Wanna see a black president? Watch 24.

I think the first AA President will be Colin Powell. You heard it here first.

He is black, right?

After the revolution, when whitey's blood runs red in the streets.

rather funny coming from an idiot. did not expect it to be you who posted that.

Can't believe you started an almost intelligent thread.

Barak Obama...I'd put money on it

not Condi and not Powell...they won't pull enough crossover votes

Not for a long while.

no time soon

the red states wouldnt vote for Kerry you think they will vote for a black guy!? :1orglaugh

OPRAH will be the first though if it does. you people are idiots if you think different. :2 cents:

lol... :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

This is the guy the liberals are whippi... ermm I mean grooming for first Black prez.

that's one hell of toss up. chauvinism and racial intolerance are are almost equally ingraned in most people. i think we will see a female president before a black one.

As God told Jesse Jackson, "Not in my lifetime".

I believe that Barack Obama certainly will have a shot, probably in 2012. Considering he's only 44 now and gaining in reputation and popularity, he's certainly the rising new star of the Democratic Party. :thumbsup

The black man had the right to vote before women did . . . black president before a female . . . predict 2525

Hillary will be elected first
 

hillary will get elected and this will clear the way for an african american..

Having sickle cell anemia is funny to you?

Grow up :thumbsup

Barack Obama 2012 for sure with a REALLY outside chance of 2008...but my guess is they will save up for 2012 after whatever loser they decide to nominate in '08

I strongly freel he'll win. Although , being in seattle I have a pretty skewed perception i suppose....I just think that the parts of the south where they think gay people should die at the stake and they still don't think of black people like they do white people ...should go off and start their own boring arian nation country...seriously, who needs that type of bullshit in America

Hopefully soon... I'd love to see it in my lifetime

Never.

They'll miss their window unfortunately, because the census data shows that in the next 50 years both Latino and Asian minority bases will explode in size far beyond African American population growth rates (no "11 welfare kids per black mom" jokes, lol, apparantly that stereotype isn't accurate afterall). :1orglaugh

Census data also shows that Latinos and Asians report a much higher willingness to vote, and to be involved in politics, than African Americans.

If it doesn't happen in the next 10 years, it never will, and that's not going to happen due to the United States being a few decades away from accepting African-Americans in a leadership posistion. Obama or not, this country is currently ruled by "Nascar Dads", hence why the Republicans keep winning despite the odds being against them, and those good old boys will never vote for some "black sob".

why is that?

I would love to see it happen

The rapture will happen long before that ever does. America is based on way too much hatred and fear for anything like that to ever happen.

yeah because many european presidents are black :2 cents:

Why? So the Democrats can win again?

Many are and have been women.

condi rice is a republican :helpme

A little slow on the ball today, huh?

We are not ready to see a black president.

not really... but you would love it, wouldn't you?

he meant that if condi rice was battling against a democrat candidate for presidency, the dems would win because americans wouldn't elect a woman.

but my comment, "I would love to see it happen" was to say "I would love to see condi rice WIN the elections", so.........

an outsiders view
 

having spent time in the US and studied it's politics and political institutions and spoken to a lot of "normal" american citizens, I have to agree you'll have a woman a long time before an african-american president.
I wouldn't be surprised if you even have a latino president before.

I would love to be proved wrong.

I.

I put my money on him too. Smart Guy..
Maybe Vice first,, so 2016
He is definitly somebody to watch for

who gives a fuck? its about the capacaties of the president, not about the race.

I want Micheal as a prez
though can't do anythign about it
but still.. originally african american and now white

best of both worlds

I am aware of that. My comment implies that the only way the Democrats stand a chance in winning is if the Republicans nominate a chick.

A black chick? hahaha only way that could happen is if she ran against Hillary

and why would you want to see that happen? who would she have as a VP? because she would never survive the 4 years

you sure walked away with a lot of misconceptions. remember, history repeats itself, and you can be sure that there will be a black man before any woman

You'd have one right now if Colin Powell had run. I would have voted for him.

just because I really like her and her politics, and I think she would actually make a great president.

but you're probably right that she wouldn't win the elections.

Barak Obama would make a great candidate, he's very well spoken


I think Oprah could stand a reasonable chance, just look at how people voted for the terminator, and he can't even speak english!

People voted Gray Davis out, Arnold was just the lesser of the evils when it came to his (Davis) replacement. He's not very loved as far as I can see.
