Are we (america) ready to have a black president? - Not personality, or educational background, or origin.... Are we as a nation ready for a black Mr. President?

Shameful but truth is I think America would prefer a woman president over a Black man sitting in the President's seat. I made this comment about five years before I knew anything about Obama or Hilary running. It would be a "big" event if either a woman or Black man were elected. I just look at history, women really had a Civil Rights movement that really pushed for the rights of women before the Black Civil Rights was successful. Blacks didn't see a big change until the Civil Rights movement in 1965 when Martin Luther King Jr. advocated for us. I don't when America will be ready, I just imagine a woman taking the presidency before a Black man, no matter how intelligent the man may be.

To tell you the truth, I would not put a black person in the office now becuase of what Bush is doing. Everything Bush messed up will be put on him. You know how racist and screwed America is. They're not ashamed to quickly blame a black person if something goes wrong. Regardless, that it was not his doing. I would say at this present time, it's not a good idea. It's the same with a women being president.

I would like to hope so, but I'm not sure.
As the events of the past week remind us, America may never resolve its neuroses over race.
My personal opinion is that the public will be ready for a black president before it is ready for a woman president. Not that either group should be discriminated against, but I think issues over gender cut even deeper.

A White Male Will Always Run America. Anyone Else Is To Much Of A Target.

I think the US has come far enough to elect a black man or even a woman as president. Why not if they are qualified. We've sure elected some very non-qualified middle aged white males in the past.

I think America would be more than willing to elect a black president. but it's simplistic to exclude personality or education or anything. After all, ALL of those things, factor into whether or not someone will make a good president.

Absolutely.
At this point, America really doesn't care what race or gender the president is, we just want the best person for the job.

yes, I know there is plenty of intolerance and ignorance out there, but I am certain Obama could do at very least as good a job as Bush. I think Obama would actually be a very good president because unlike everyone else, he at least appears to care about the good of the country, not just his own personal agenda and that of his party.

no to many riots from racist clubs gangs and organization(KKK) i would hate to see some poor African American who went through all the trouble of getting elected actually did it just to get assassinated. maybe in a few decades the nation will be ready and have done away with the KKK and Neo-Nazi's along with the other racists gangs
