A black president in the future Sure why not but I don't see what difference it makes whether he is black, white, grey, hispanic, or anything else.
I have always voted for the guy who I think will do the best job for America. I would even vote for a woman (sorry Hillary that is NOT you) if she were the best candidate.
I would not vote for anyone that felt the need to bring his slave heritage into the campaign. That is a stupid crutch and a smart man who would be president has long ago put that behind him.
You know. One whose parents are both black and have a legacy going back to slavery and grew up in a black household. I don't think so to be honest. I think we will see a Hispanic president before that.
Certainly. The black community just needs to put a strong person up there, just like anyone else. Sure, some racists will oppose any black candidate, but as Obama's election demonstrates, the rantings of a minority don't trump the good sense of the majority.
I bet Oprah could win the presidency in 2016 if she announced tomorrow.

If Obama represents the policies and thinking blacks like I won't be voting for one.
I want to know why it is important to have a president of any particular skin color. A lot of blacks were real excited when Obama was elected. I guess it was a sort of pride thing. I get that, but also think that focusing on race rather than qualifications is a bad approach.
Don't worry about our approach. Worry about yours.

He's whatever he says he is.
The whole "he's just as white as he is black" is just your silly ass attempt at poking black folks and trying to remind us that Obama winning was really no victory for blacks.
You can deal with your batch of sour grapes much better than trying to belittle black people online.

Well first off the best person for the job ought to be the number 1 criteria.
Second of all when that person is there hopefully the People will be smart enough to lend them that support regardless of race or gender.
Third there never should be any order of race/ethnicity/gender to "achieve".
There never should be any goal of putting anyone in Office due to any of those variable factors.
Always the best person not anything else.
