Not in the least. At the risk of sounding racist, which I am most definitely not, I do not believe the American public is ripe for a black president yet. But I’m not discounting the possibility given some of the populist candidates that the GOP is pushing.

I disagree. I think the country is willing to elect a black, a woman, or anyone else who captures their sense of leadership.
I don’t think there are any limits in American politics related to identity politics. If the person makes the right connection with voters, he/she will be elected.

America could certainly be ready for a black President, just not one with ‘Bamas heritage background and ideology.
