Would you rather have a black Christian president, or a white muslim president of the USA?

Answer 1

want the most qualified person for the job.

Answer 2

The fact that we are asking such a loaded question to ourselves is itself suggestive of the growing maturity of our nation. Leave alone distant past even a few years back and to some extent even now this would have been a chimeral possibility .

While considering this exciting option my heart ,as they say, comes in my mouth. Do I really-am I really being asked this question or is it a projection of my mind? But with the concrete example of India before us I think we should gather our wits together ask us this question to ourselves quite seriously.If it could happen in India ,a country which an Englishman of the 19th century remakred was a logical impossibility to exist what with the bewieldering plurality of the population ,poverty and prejudices why could not happen here where we pride ourself of a successfully working old vintage of democracy ? It is really astrounding to observe that in India, an admittedly Hindu majority country, the Roman Catholic Chrstian ,a minuscle minority , president of a majority party who could have been the premier herself nominates a Sikh, another similarly minuscle minority which in not too distant past had been charged with ambition of seceding from India and where a Muslim,a minority which was not only merely suspected but did vivesect the country, as a President(not even the first president there were at least two more). Can we not with our avowed and amply supported claims of a working democracy think of such a possibility.

I know that even if I am given two distinctly separate possibilities to even think of a non-Christian as a potential candidate for the Presidentship of the country would be a lega impossibility what with the loaded Christian slant of the Preamble. Still the choice would be quite exciting. Yes a black Christian president!

If only I were to be given a little more latitude I would like the Presidently preferably to be a black Muslim. If we could bring ourselves to this we would be taking away a heady load of the Muslim bashing that has been unjustifiably thrust on our head and heart.

Both the communities richly deserve some such gesture even as an expitiation of our past.Will a White Christian God or Black Muslim Allah grant us this prayer? May be we do not deserve it but we need it and promise to make ourselves worth of the divine trust.

Answer 3

I would rather have an atheist as president then either of the 2 choices given. At least they do not have a religious agenda to push and can think on a more logical plane.

Answer 4

What have you got against White people? Plenty of them have been President.
What have you got against Black people? I'd vote for Colin Powell any day.
What have you got against Christians? Only one catholic ever made the post, but the rest were still Christian.
What have you got against Muslims? Just because they all seem to want to go Jihad on us doesn't make them ALL evil, or does it?

Answer 5

Religion and race do not matter. What matters to me is that the President can take a stand and act on principal rather than the opinion polls.

Answer 6

the ethical Majority based, with the aid of Jerry Falwell in 1979 and finally dissolved in 1989 exchange right into a conservative political company of u . s . a . of america which had an schedule of evangelical Christian-orientated political lobbying. They inspired: -outlawing abortion -opposition to state acceptance and acceptance of homosexuality -opposition to the equivalent Rights exchange and Strategic arms disadvantage Talks -enforcement of a usual imaginitive and prescient of relatives existence -censorship of media shops that sell an 'anti-relatives' schedule. With those objectives in strategies I doubt they could have depended on the two a girl or a Minority (black or in any different case) to accomplish their campaign.

Answer 7

A black Christian one....our country was based on Christian morals...not Muslim ones..besides a Muslim would never get elected...at least i don't think so.

Answer 8

Black Christian any day! A Muslim running this country, are you kidding me!

Answer 9

Who ever would run the country better!!! We need to move past the race and religion issue and realize were all human, otherwise were on a road to destruction.

Answer 10

a white christian

Answer 11
