Assume they are both equally qualified and all that.

Due to the human psyche I think a woman would have a harder time due to the fact that women through the ages have been viewed as the weaker sex and the fact that women voters are outnumbered by men. Men will also listen to other men more often than a woman.

I think it would probably be harder for a black man to be elected than a white woman. If anything, most people (even Republicans) don't seem against the idea of having a female president, though unfortunately, she would be expected to conform to society's standards of behavior regarding how women should behave. Hillary Clinton doesn't do this, and that's the reason why she's so unpopular with a lot of people.

Well, black people are a minority in the US, whereas the proportion of women to men is relatively equal. Therefore, if most women voted for the woman, and most black people voted for the black man, the woman would win. Although that does assume that people will only vote for people who are the most like them. (And doesn't take black women's views into account).
The UK has had a woman Prime Minister, but not a black one. So I'd think a female president would come before a black one.

Umm...ok. seem up some heritage. women ought to no longer own land, vote, or have issues that adult males ought to. immediately, women of all races receives a fee a lot less then adult males, fantastically white adult males. at the same time as did we decide a women president? Do you recommend Governor? Who seems extra threatening to you- a guy of any race or a lady? i do not comprehend what you recommend, yet... extra women are instructors because extra female visit school to get the training. i'm airborne dirt and dust unfavorable. i visit school on loans and loans in problem-free words. all people can visit school to be a instructor in the adventure that they have got the brains. I in no way reported i replaced right into a minority. yet somewhat, I stay in l. a., and in case you regarded on the inhabitants demographics white individuals are a minority. i imagine it truly is unhappy that you're full of a lot anger. If it makes you sense more effective to argue that you as a black male are extra of a minority- go ahead. You win- do you want a cookie? If human beings like you keep putting ahead that human beings are different because of their pores and skin coloration there is continually going be a reason to wrestle over something. good luck to you.

as racist as the world is today against black people in general, a black man would have to harder time to be president. black people have to struggle for everything... everyone cannot be a singer, or basketball player or football player or rapper. so for those of us who are not "celebrity status" that are black, we suffer. so that means everything we try to do has to be hard, and long, whereas if a white man had to do something, it would happen in a flash and he didn't even blink yet. it is harder for black people period. the white man is always trying to keep us down, when in reality whether you want to believe it or not, the government puts things in our community to make us the way we are. they put weed and crack in black neighborhoods and herion and that other **** in white neighborhoods. just like they try to say all black people have aids. does white people have aids, but nobody talks about the blond haired blue eyed peoples illness, lack of money, etc they only talk about those WITH and not WITHOUT.

I think it would be harder for a white woman. Woman are still not respected in positions of power by a lot of people. The chauvinistic men will not allow it to happen.

I think it would be harder for a white woman. I just think there are people who don't think a woman would be capable of running the country.

I think that depends on who the two people are. In a Hillary vs. Barrack election, I think Barrack Obama has the better chance, as he represents the views of the country (war, patriot act) better than Hillary.

I think that would depend on the white woman and the black man. Of the ones that we are seeing now, neither.
