Answer 1

It depends on what he stands for. A president’s ethnicity should have little bearing on his viability as a candidate for the highest office in the land. I will tell you one thing though. If this hypothetical black candidate embodied all the traits that have been commonly associated with black people – you know the whole victim mentality; idolization of wealth; the vilification of hard work; preference for easy routes to success; childish resentment for past injustices and resulting feeling of entitlement; and anti-intellectualism – I wouldn’t vote for him at all.

When black politicians start behaving and speaking more like Martin Luther King, and less like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, then they will have political legitimacy. They need to stop drawing a line in the sand demarking them from us. You are not AFRICAN American; you are just American. Once black politicians realize this fact, and begin to see beyond racial agendas, that is when America will embrace them.

Answer 2

The problem that America is experiencing right now is we focus too much on the package any message comes in.......like a child that likes a nicely wrapped b-day present.....If we really are a nation of equality like all of our leaders like to pontificate then this race or sex should make no difference when it comes to an elected official......The reason why Karl Rove chose GWB to be his puppet is because he knew he came in a package that majority of America could relate to......"gee I'll vote for him because he reminds me of a guy that might belong to my church.....the other guy seems too smart and educated for me to understand"....watch "Bush's Brain" if UR interested to learn more about this

To answer your question....My political views are truly colorblind as would be my voting....do I think the nation is ready.....my answer would be NO......but anything is possible......heck I never thought GWB would get re-elected and he somehow did....the pendulum always swings 2 ways.

Answer 3

Well, Jerry Falwell recently stated he would rather vote for "The Devil" than Hillary Clinton.

As for me, I would vote for the person I thought best qualified to repair all the damage that's been done to the country and the world during The Bushista Regime.

Seriously, color or gender would have no bearing on my decision. I would base it on whoever I believed was the better man (or woman)

Answer 4

Depends on the candidate. If the candidate was someone who made a living being divisive and turning every issue into black vs. white (like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, or Louis Farrakhan) then I would not vote for that candidate. If the candidate was more like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who stood on a platform of equality and bringing all our respective races together, then I would vote for him/her.

Answer 5

I'd vote for that black president that was on the TV show "24."
I can't think of any black politicians who have indicated that they are interested in that position. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton?

Answer 6

Sure --Are you going to get Colin Powell to run?

Now I'm not jumping on Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, or Harold Ford.

Answer 7

Colin Powell or Condoleeza Rice most definitely!

Answer 8

If he or she was qualified, YES! I think most Americans would too. When are we going to get over our stigmas about color, sex, and religion? We need a good leader who embodies American ideals: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Answer 9

I want a female, because I think we need someone understands the meaning of nuturing, and the importance of a future for children in the country. I don't care if she's green.

Answer 10

It wouldnt' matter the color. What does he stand for. Is he just about being black? Is that his platform, then no I would not. Give me soemthing else to go on, crazy. Why is it about him being black? My goodness.
