I don't really know much about the guy so I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but isn't Marco Rubio white?
He is Cuban American.

Yeah, I know. I'm also aware that in the US Hispanic is considered a race instead of just people from spanish speaking countries. But since there can be white Hispanics like him I wondered if he would still be considered a Non-White president if elected or the "hispanic" part is the one that takes precedence when determining your race.
Sorry, but I'm not really well versed in this area Tongue
Yes Rubio is white rather than Amerindian. But the media describes him as Hispanic, and it would be politically incorrect to describe him as anything else.

First, there were a lot of Amerindians in Cuba, so he might be. 

Second, while not a "race," Hispanics are definitely a minority group.
I thought that all Amerindians died on most islands after the spanish made a visit, so you only had black slaves and the Spanish.

Well, unless you're about 90 years old now, there will be plenty of white Presidents in your lifetime.  In fact, I believe Obama will be the only non white President for some time to come.

Just sayin'.

I think there may be more half-white presidents.  Hillary Clinton will run for president again, But if she gets the nomination, I don't think she will win overall.  I think Jeb Bush's son will make a good president since he is half Mexican.  There may some day be a real practicing Muslim as president. 

Please. Please. Just stop!

...Americans ... I doubt if they care about the amount of melanin in his/her skin.

Wow, you're very wrong there.  This is their number one consideration.

Nonsense.  All the ones who have a job already are free to indulge in their racism - that's something like 95% of whites.

unemployment is over 10%.  That effects everyone because of government programs and debt issues.

Obama will turn it around in the 2nd Debate. he even admit to being too "Nice" in the first Debate.

Obama needed to appear as the "safe Black guy" in order to keep the media on his side. 

If he went at Romney too hard, the media will label him the "angry black guy" and that will turn off white swing voters. 

White swing voters cannot handle any Black person who appears "dangerous or violent" even if they are just being assertive and strong-willed.  White people are easily intimidated by big Black Men, and Obama is acutely aware of this double-standard because his own white grandmother said that she was afraid of a homeless Black man who accosted her in Hawaii, and she didn't want to walk to work alone because of that incident.

No, they were enslaved (including ones brought in from Central America), though small pox killed a lot.

The numbers in Hispaniola dropped from the hundreds of thousands to a few hundred within about 50 years. They left no trace in the population. I don't expect Cuba would be any different.

No, dude, unemployment overall is about 7.8%, and it is lower among whites than among the subject races.  Bureau of Labor statistics says that unemployment among whites is 7%, so I stand corrected, white who have a job are 93%, not 95%.

It's just Milhouse, people. Read any of his posts about gay marriage or Paul "big biceps" Ryan and it's clear he's a "special" case scared of his own errection--mostly because he's secretly afraid he'll allow a gay do things with it.

I think that Black Unemployment is the hidden issue in this election.  Its a shame Obama is ignoring and taking for granted the Black Unemployed.

But not over.  If we start seeing good polls for Romney in OH and in some of NV, CO, IA, WI and NH, it is over.

Some of that was intermarriage (of which I am proof of a few hundred miles to the north).

I think Romney just sealed the deal.  Obama needs some major shake up now.

Obama as the communicator who can pass executive orders isn't done polically, but legislatively, yes he was done after the November 4th elections.

From what I've seen of oppebo's posts, I don't see what was so interesting about him.

Why both of you would re-re-bump and re-re-re bump respectively is beyond me.
