do you think this country is ready for a woman president?

Question

by that i mean do you think a woman could get voted in. do you think a black man could get voted in? i think a woman could, but i'm not sure if a black man could. there is still to much racisim.

Answer 1

No, and Im not only a "feminist", but an "optimist". We women are deluded if we honestly think that we are honestly in that position. Even some women would not vote for a female president. Im doing my part, and get called "Feminist" like its a bad name.

Feminism is the radical notion that women are people.

Still hasnt caught on yet, especially with other women.

Aside from all else, Im voting for Obama in the primary (if it matters, Im white),. I just believe in the same as him a little more than the othe candidates. But should Clinton win the primary, Ill support her 100%.

Answer 2

I'll put it this way.
Is there another country where there is less racism?
Really? How do you measure that? Do we ignore all other measures just for that one?

We have one of the top three if not THE least racist country in the world. We may have a REPUTATION, but reputations aren't reality. We have free speech, so the fact is that tons of people say things that in other countries (not all, let's not get in a twit, folks) would NEVER say out loud, either due to social rules or actual laws.

If you base your opinion on the free press, we're the worst country in every possible way.

Silly.

We'll be ready for it when the person who runs is NOT a woman President, but a President who happens to be a woman. Same for any other group, whether Mormon, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Minority (you mean you wouldn't vote for them if they could prove they were qualified in all ways but the number of years they had lived? You wouldn't have voted for Kennedy?).

We'll be ready for them when they represent ALL of us, not primarily their minority status.

We have enough trouble with political bigotry. We won't even tolerate half the country. We need to get over that before we start yelling at each other over racial bigotry or sexism to make it worse.

Enough "We're racist" talk. DO something about it in a positive way. Example:

"We are ready for a ________ President, aren't we?
By that, I mean, we do think that anyone of any minority status can get voted in if qualified. We are a strong country that has learned from our past, with only some vocal racism as a remnant of the foolish choices some of us used to make. Is there still some racism? Yes. Is it enough to explain why a President can't happen to also be of some minority category as well? We're past that, right?"

Positive. Hating America and beating our chest in anguish is out. We're tired of it. We're tired of the anti-America crowd. We're tired of suffering over things WE, as individuals, NEVER DID! Talk about bigotry! We suffer because of what other people did, just because we're of the same race?

No MORE!

Answer 3

the country could be waiting for a women president yet no longer Hilary Clinton she isn't the main suitable person and that i genuinely do no longer choose to make sure invoice Clinton back interior the White abode, she says she would be in a position to be the determination maker yet invoice might have a great impression and in my opinion he's a blubbering fool along with his head up his #%$#

Answer 4

If you want to use real world examples. Clinton is much much more loathed in the American South than Obama. People there are more likely to vote for Obama because of white guilt. They just simply hate Clinton.

If you can't win at least some of the South, you can't be president. Unless you're Abraham Lincoln

Answer 5

I dunno. I think a woman could get voted in, but maybe there would be shenanigans like there were in 2000 against Al Gore to use the Supreme Court or the Electoral College to keep her out of the White House.

My gut feeling is that bigotry against women is stronger than that against black men. I bet Obama would actually get into the White House (as opposed to simply winning the election, which Gore did) way sooner than Hilary Clinton would.

For shame!

Answer 6

I'm a man and would vote for a woman not hillary though as she along with her husband bill were involved witr the arkansas land scandal and 2 I defy anyone in this country to invest 1000 dollars into anything and come out in one year with a profit of 100,000 dollars as hillary did still want to vote for her?Not me you have to have integrity if you want me to vote for you and hillary doesn't have that!!!

Answer 7

NOT a woman who proposes to socialize medicine (Canada has 55% tax brackets and you still pay $100/month - in hopes you can get an appointment)

and $5,000 to every new born American

and $1,000 to everybody's IRA

and HOW are we going to pay for Social Security and Medicare?

We may be on the way in a different direction - when our country becomes 51% Muslim due to immigration -
it will all be over in 6 years of elections - *sigh*

Answer 8

I think so on both accounts. The white majority is getting smaller by the day, and I'm sure there's plenty of whites who would vote for a candidate they like no matter what ethnicity. I'd probably vote for Obama if he won the Democratic nomination. He's better than most of the Republican candidates, in my opinion.

Answer 9

If the United States is not ready to choose a Woman or an African American, then it can go strait to Hell!

Because it is not going anywhere else.

Answer 10

Intelligent people are everywhere, regardless of sex, colour, race or religious beliefs. Why should there be issues if a women would became president or a black person, or an oriental??
