And what do you suppose would happen if we DID elect a president who wasn't white and/or male?...Would people believe that he/she was only a token, elected in order to show how progressively diverse we have become?...If so, Would they be correct?

Would he/she feel the unbelievable pressure of being constantly aware that every move they make and every word they speak would be held up to the strongest scrutiny EVER in history, and that they would set an example for every other minority who might ever consider running for President?..Always waiting for the masses to avow "See?...We KNEW that wouldn't work"...And fear that their failure would mean the death of any chance that any minority might ever have thereafter?...Americans (in general) DO have a tendency to attribute the actions of a few, to an entire race, group, gender, etcetera...

Would they be assassinated?...Unfortunately...We (the country as a whole) aren't as 'progressive' as we would like to believe or have the rest of the world think...


Even if someone of another race and/or gender WAS actually given a chance...They would never REALLY be given a chance...
