Answer 1

black female

Condoleezza Rice

Answer 2

Of all these the one that would have the largest appeal would be a black female.

Powerful, highly educated white women are viewed with intense skepticism by the well-to-do white men who largely contribute to political campaigns. And just look at how some people react to Hilary Clinton (it's really unjustified).

And then there are still whole swathes of the country that would have a tough time throwing support behind a black man as their leader.

That's terrible, but I think its the world we live in.

However, there is something "disarming" about black women, even very powerful, highly educated black women. Now I'm not saying that Toni Morrison or Angela Davis could be president. But Oprah...? Yeah, I think Oprah would have a helluva shot, with the right ticket / platform.

Or put your question this way: Hilary Clinton, Colin Powell, or Condi Rice.

Me, I'd pick Powell (better yet, Barack Obama). But I think Condi would have an advantage over the other two. She could get the "white guy" vote, plus sweep up large parts of the black community who wouldn't normally vote for someone with her ideas on government, foreign policy, etc.

Answer 3

I would rather not presuppose the qualification of one minority over another especially when the female gender is actually the greater number in population, unless of course you refer to minority as something else; stature possibly or self-esteem maybe or even chip on the shoulder. For all of the political correctness and fadism in public debate, the office of president surprisingly gets serious consideration by the voting public. Your question while poorly worded is an interesting exercises but any answer is just as valid and possible as the other. What we think at this point is irrelevant because there is no basis for a logical conclusion. Only smoke from wistful conjecture.



That was my answer, Oh ye of the class conscious.
I simply find your supplied answers to be to directed and limiting. I prefered my own answer to yours.
Besides, this is not the poll area of Yahoo Q&A, this is an open question area of politics and government.
You are thus, off topic in this forum.

Answer 4

I do not think America is ready to have a non.white president-- a female? maybe.

The emmancipation of the woman took place in the 1920's. (voting rights)
The final count for the black population has not fallen, pls remember that the ownership of slaves was just recently (1995) abolished in Mississippi. One should not let labels and propaganda divert us from the facts! Equal rights is a paper tiger, used only to fault our foes! Never to serve our people

Answer 5

a black male-like osama barak-prob. don't have name quite right-he spoke at dem. convention last election-hillary i believe is unelectable unless a really lame opponent is running-she's not Bill which is not a good thing despite some people's dislike of Bill-if Denzel Washington would run, he'd win by a wide margin-he's attractive and well-spoken-we have a lot of racism still but a sharp candidate can overcome much of that-for a female to win, i really think she'd have to come from the Republican side to have the funds to buy the election like Bush did. We still are uncomfortable w/ a female being in charge of our weapons-we don't like you using our remote, for chrissake!!!

Answer 6

Well in this coming election, the only minorities we have going are:
1. Hillary
2. Condi

So, it probably won't be a black male. I am viciously left wing, but I am inclined to vote for Ms. Rice. Hillary has been selling out her constituency in this little pre-pre-primary election she has been trying to win to get the nomination. Condi would probably be another Bush, but would probably do the job better than the current Bush. Probably better than his old man, too.

Answer 7

I believe it will be a white male of european ancestry around 1776.......Did you fall asleep in grade school or skip it altogether!? If what you are trying to ask is which will be the first minority elected as the next President of the U.S., I think it will more than likely be Condoleeza Rice, who is a black woman of impeccable qualifications and integrity. She has my vote anyway.

Answer 8

Black male.

Like it or not, the public has more trust for men than women on issues like national defense. This disparity will be greater than for social issues which women may have an advantage on.

Answer 9

itd be cool if it was a black male, but most likely some dumb white woman

Answer 10

Doesn't matter. Think about WHAT the candidates are saying, then close your eyes, and picture that they are all orange and androgynous.
