The question is will white people support a black candidate? Black people have already been though the test.

But also understand the signifigance here. There have been 43 white president and 0 black presidents.
Soon to be 44 white (Male) Presidents and 0 black Presidents

Yes that's something we Americans need to try and talk to our elected officials to change, age cap for President, congress, Senate ... I do know people such as Ted Kennedy should be the exception for he's done so much for this country for the past 40 years.

And no Hispanic, Asian, Native American, Jewish, Muslim or female presidents either. And blacks only make up 15% of the population.
