The Earliest Time for a Black President

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Straha gave the correct answer.  a traditionally "black" politician, with roots in the civil rights movement and a descendant of slaves, would have no chance nationally.

Agreed.  I think Colin Powell would have had a decent shot of winning in 1996 had he been the GOP nominee and Perot had stayed out of it.  Having both necessary event happen would been problematic, and he'd still have to show he could run a decent political campaign.
