5914, black man will probably be president first
Posted by Zorasmoon, Fri Feb-28-03 06:25 AM
You asked: "let me ask you something a white female co-worker asked me a few years back: 'Which do you think will come first in this country, a Black man as president, or a woman, and why?"

I said previously: "Don't forget, black men HAD the right to vote before white women. This country tends to put sexism before racism"

You kind of answered the question for me.

"For some time now, the inequalities that are embedded into the American system have bothered me.
