Does a black president signal a new era of racial equality?

To many people the idea of a black American president was little more than a dream. MANY has grave doubts as to whether Obama could win the white votes needed to take the White House. Those doubts were now answered obviously but does Obama’s win herald a new era of racial equality or is there a long way to go yet?

Especially when a man like Donlad Trump wins after Obama 2 terms?

Nobody cares anymore if the President is black or asian or whatever. Tolerance is mainstream now except when it comes to Trump and mental patients.
I agree to an extent.

People should be socially conscious about the diversity of leadership, mostly for moral reasons ( people of color aren't monolithic). It does a great service just to compute that they to have a chance of holding down a prestigious leadership role in a diverse atmosphere.

It's a step in the right direction, but I personally don't believe in identity politics.

Yeah, it's nice to see a black man or a woman become president. But policies and character are the most important aspects.

Everything else is inconsequential.

What dose being Black have to do with His failed Socialist policy? Black or white Socialism is a Failure 90 million American out of work. Lies on top of lies If you like your doctor you can keep Him or Her. If you like your insurance you can keep it. Taking Catholic Nuns to court because they won't uses contraceptive that Obama cares says they need, how retarded. Refusing to call Muslim Terrorist Terrorist. Thinking that one to two percent growth a year is prosperity when the biggest peace time expansion of 4 to 5 percent a year happen under Ronal Reagan for 8 years. Remember this fact of life Socialism works until you run out of the other Guys money. Don't vote for a persons color or lack of color vote for a persons Ideology and economics. Ask your self some it work or not?For over 50 White Liberal Democrats have keep Blacks poor with their failed policies the same number of Blacks are poor 15% in the 1960 war on poverty with 15% in 2016. Look at other minorities who did not follow the white Liberal Democratic way like Asian American,Arab American,Jewish American Cuban American they followed the Capitalist American way of hard work long hours day in and day out and achieve the American Capitalist Dreams of the Founding Fathers. Nobody can guaranty equal result in life all you can guaranty is opportunity but only you can take it or not. PS after inauguration in January every illegal executive order by Obama is out the window as if it never existed.

Obama was a corporatist. He worn the cap for his Wall Street donors.

No. Obama had to have a record equivalent to that of a superhero to get in office. Ppl slandered him constantly for smoking weed once in college , and he only got in because Blacks came out in mass.

Whereas trump can grab america by the punani break multiple laws etc and still get in, with flying fcking colors.

It was cool for historical purposes and minority morale but as for as civil rights and equality, it was a step but it didn't do as much as it was romanticized to do. Also a huge excuse for racists to deny racism. Hence where we're at today.

I'll miss him.

Did you not read a word I said? I said that having diverse leadership or minorties in leadership positions allows children or people of minorties to see that they too can have a place in esteemed offices or positions (moral reasons). Never did I once did speak on policy and what the effects would be if it was subject to diverse representation. Your kidding yourself if you think electing a black president isn't a step in the right direction for moral reasons.

It seems as if you wanted to copy & paste that response for sometime and found the opportunity to sound smart but nah...

Agreed but how does that make my response a no? Sure he was slandered, his citizenship was even questioned but again how does the knowlage that a black man held the highest position in the land not garner a morality post based on his election? I'm not saying he wasn't dragged through the mud and maligned because he was but that doesn't make his election any legitimate.

Because of the disparity between what was required of him, vs his counterparts.

Black guy: you wanna be president? you have to have the cleanest record in history, while being suave and a people's person.

White guy: You wanna be president? you got to be 35 or older and a citizen. Any bad records will be looked over.

Obama own biography He claims to be socialist with Sozetnitne( not quit sure the spelling of the Russian communist name) being His hero. Obama charm Wall Street with His lies and promises like He did with His lies and promises of Health Care. He is right now crying about Fidel Castro death.

You don't get it a life and a movement base on a lie is still a lie. The same number of Black Children are as poor as in the 1960 war on poverty 15% then 15% now in 2016 So He has not inspired Minorities to succeed the numbers say so. Old Hispanic saying from my Grandmother "beware of your own when trusting too much, they often will be the ones to stab you reaching for power" Have a Castro free Day.
