Hi Alkin It is sad to say but no one other than white guys have served as our nation's president. There are two black people in they election for 2004 - Reverend Al Sharpton and a female. Maybe one day they will let a minority run our country. I think discrimination does play a big part in the running and they are running our country into the ground. Hopefully they will. So pray.

Yes, that would be nice if there was a black president. Too bad only old, rich, white males will ever be president.

Hello. There has never been a Black President in the USA but they still have the same rights and can also become president.

Hi all, this question is hard not only for you, in Spain we speak spanish, gallego, vasco, and catalan. The real spanish language is basque or vasco, then my question is other why don´t an indian president in US? Like we have differents presidents and we will enjoy them for example some of them speak basque or catalan.

Unfortunately, discrimination issues will always exist. I personally like Howard Dean for your "rich white guy". However on the other side of the scale, I think Mosley Brawn would make an excellent President. I don't trust Sharpton's drastic change. Although he does have a way with the people.

Its not true that the USA presidents are always rich white guys. Abe Lincoln wasn't. He was born in a log cabin, remember?

I agree and there was almost a black president. Martin Luther King Jr. probably would have been if he wasn't assassinated.

No there hasn't, there have only been rich white men. Always (they were the 1st people to vote) but who knows? Times could change right? We were looking in Civics who can really be president and basically you need a lot of money but with the world that we are living in, it'll happen soon. Hillary Clinton should just run and get everything over with, she would win, in my opinion.

Hi, nope there hasn't been a black president of the USA. Why do you want a black president over a white one? If it was up to me I wouldn't care what race he was as long as he/she is doing a good job, and if that happens to be a white guy then so be it. Mike

Hi All I would like to know if a black president has ruled the people of the United States before? I'm asking this question because all the presidents of the state that I have been familiar with are white guys. I hope discrimination does not exist when it comes to selecting a Head of State. The blacks should be given the same opportunity as the whites and vice versa. Moreover, we are all human beings. Akin
