Would there ever be a minority president? and why?

Answer 1

Absolutely. It has to be the right person at the right time. Personally, I think Bill Clinton would have been hard-pressed to defeat Colin Powell in 1996, as a for instance.

I used to think that it would help her/her chances if that minority candidate was nominated by the Republicans. Democrats traditionally have been more appealing to minorities, and thus the political switch would be interesting. However, 2008 is shaping up as an odd year. Obama seems to have the star power and money to be a serious contender, and the way Iraq is going the Republicans may be in big trouble to figure out a way to get to 50 percent.

Answer 2

I'm not sure if we are ready yet, but we certainly may be tested in the next election. I'm afraid that people out of the cities are still too backwards to understand that all men and women are created equal and that anyone from any race can do the job. The cities are more open and have elected women and blacks to high offices, they would not be opposed, but in places like Mississippi and Kansas, well, they just may not be ready. And that is unfortunate, because the two best candidates are a woman and a black.

Answer 3

Yes, this country will not always be predominantly Caucasian. Eventually, the majority non-Caucasians will vote into office a minority Caucasian. It's a simple matter of demographic changes currently happening within the U.S..

Answer 4

I think so. If someone ran for the Presidency and was qualified and i thought he would make a good president I wouldn't care what color he or she was,I would vote for he or she.Minority does not make one stupid.Lack of education does.

Answer 5

Kennedy was an Irish catholic. Is that minority enough.
