  1. Uuuhm nah. Not that I care whatever race the president is at all - because it shouldn't matter. You KNOW that just because a man is black doesn't make him a good man, or a good leader, which is the key part. If I were to give any preference to any specific identity for the presidency, it would be a woman. Someone like the legend, the notorious Ruth Bader Ginsberg! Rest in peace, you fantastic woman. It's way past due time to turn politics female dominated. Now OBVS, someone being a woman, or black for that matter, or any other minority/disenfranchised person doesn't automatically make them a good choice. OBVS - Marjorie TRAITOR Greene, Candace Owens, Sinema, Larry Elder, all terrible people who would be AWFUL, despite not being the traditional white male. For instance, Bernie Sanders, an obvs old, white male, despite being the "traditional" white male identity wise, would obvs be a FAR BETTER choice than say Larry Elder (black male, right wing extremist), Candace Owens (a black female white supremacist) or let's say K. Sinema. Obvs, choosing a president based simply on either their race and/or gender is incredibly unwise. I absolutely root for diversity, and believe the political landscape would be far, far better if it were to become A HELLA LOT MORE diverse, but simply stepping away from the usual and boring white, old male is incredibly unwise. What I do wish tho, is for none of this to actually matter, or factor in to people's decision making as they vote for elected officials in general. THAT would be wonderful! Someone's race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion or lack thereof shouldn't be any factor at all with this. Someone's background, how they happened to be born and live their life shouldn't have any role at all, the content of their character should be what matters. Their morals, values, intellect and actual policies should be what we base our voting decisions on, not their race, gender or anything else. Unfortunately, it's incredibly clear that America is not ready and mature enough for that. Sure, ONE man who was black got elected twice for the presidency. Woooow, way to break the mold.. 😐😒 When you consider a half white, half black male to break the mold, and view that as some progressive achievement demonstrating how much America is moving forward and is becoming more equal, then I don't know what to even say.. especially considering the fact that half the country lost their minds, even questioning if he's actually born in America, enraging half the country.. then no. That just goes to show just how racist and misogonystic America is. Take Hillary into consideration as well - sure, she absolutely have a lot to be critisized, but sooooo many people - even white women like herself, couldn't bare the thought of her becoming president - again, not because of everything you could validly critizise her for, but simply because the thought of a WOMAN being president was somehow too outrageous of an idea for people to swallow - that says A LOT. AmeriKKKa have a looooong way to go. The amount of blatant racism and misogony is OUTRAGEOUS, and seriously needs to be heavily checked and corrected, ffs. You're not living in the 21st century like the rest of the developed world, you're regressing back so hard, you'd thinknit was the 18th century. It's gross, check yourself, America. You're delusional to claim to be the most free, liberated, equal and "best" country in the world. Anyone who thinks America somehow is leading the world with a moral standing, freedom, rights and and democracy is totally, and utterly ridicoulously delusional. America truly is among the worst. You COULD be different and reach the top, but instead of admitting to your flaws to actively improve, you double down on the inequality and injustice, and do nothing but regress. It seems that your blind pride and arrogance destroys the very fabric of the American dream and it's supposed ideals. Greed, selfishness, individualism, imperialism and arrogance have destroyed any chance of greatness you had. You're too caught up in everything but actually strenghtening and improving the nation. Your fasade is more important for you than actual action. If America did the right thing, you wouldn't need to prop up the fasade - your actions would speak loudly and clearly for itself. America is a total failure.

  2.  @marknelson6103  Not that I agree with OP, but black people are not a monolith. Just like white people, like all your presidents who were all white (except for Obama, obvs) did both better and worse than Obama, depending on your own views of what a good presidency looks like. Obama did a whole lot of good things, and a whole lot of bad things.. just like every other president. Obama at least, was one of the better ones. You've done A WHOLE LOT WORSE both BEFORE and AFTER Obama. Reagan, Bush, 45 etc weren't exactly shining stars, but they're not black, so they get a bigger pass by people like you. He didn't get the white pass like every other president did. I mean.. he even got ridicoulously critized for silly stuff like wearing a tan suit and ordering fckn dijon mustard on a hotdog. C'mon, seriously. That's just pathetic, and it clearly shows how people were grasping at straws, looking for ANY and EVERY excuse to critisize him. That says more about people like you than him.
