Do you think America will ever have a Black President Again?

What about Hispanic, Asian or something else?

Do you think that the presidents should represent the diverse 'melting pot' of America?

I'm not saying to vote for them solely because of the color of their skin, surely they need to know how to do the job, but America has been so divided, after 45 presidents, do you think there is a chance of change? What about a woman?
Do you think it's possible?
Why or Why not

Obama is half white -

@MarmeeMarch Odd how that's only true when it suits, don't you think? Regardless of who you are? Humans have been categorized by their percentage of black blood for a very long time. If 1/16 black is black, so is 1/2 black.

@Mamapolo2016 Oh ok so lets adopt the mentality of the old slave masters in how we tell who is black or not. It does not suit me, and it is not a racial comment it is a fact. The poster is wondering if we are going to have another black prez. again - I am still waiting for the first one.

@MarmeeMarch You may do as you please. it did not by any wild stretch of the imagination end with slave owners.

@Mamapolo2016 So if someone is clearly white but has 1/16 black genetic makeup that makes him 100 percent black ? - ok then / I wish I could give somebody a fraction of what I owe them and say its paid up in full.

@MarmeeMarch

Although never codified into federal law, the one-drop rule was used as recently as 1980, when a Louisiana woman was denied her request to be classified as white on her birth certificate because of a black ancestor four generations back.

Baseless mockery does not a truth make.

@Mamapolo2016 So I guess it suits many people - weather for the birth certificate thing - or applying to college or a job. So yep the door swings both ways with reg to opportunity.

@MarmeeMarch I'm done here.

But first, let's see. Four generations back. Four generations back means one of her great great grandparents was black.

Great Grandparent was half black.

Grandparent was 1/4 black.

Parent was 1/8 black.

She was 1/16 black, but she was black in Lousiana bureaucracy and obviously as of 1980 somebody was keeping track of such things in Louisiana.
