We'll get a black, gay president when a qualified one runs for office. In the last election suitability for the job trumped the race card. It will eventually happen with all irrational prejudices.

So how long do you guys think it will be before a BLACK GAY president comes to power in your once great nation ????

Is the insinuation that skin color or sexual orientation have ANYTHING to do with someone being a good leader or a nation being great....? Honestly I find the opening post abrasive, and rude.

A liar is a liar.

The color of skin, or choice of sexual partners - has very little to do, with the character makeup of a person.


And, PS the pre-great-nation phase - ended when Kennedy took a bullet.

Well, since Obama is the last Imam we won't live to see the hilarity ensue.

Yes, what possible connection to Islam could Barrack Hussein Obama have

You do realise that every Presidential candidate must be seen going to church?

is it not so, name me one President that did not

But hell, so what? Morgan Freeman (I think) did a good job as Mandela, and if he can act like our President he can act like yours for four years. But then the US would never allow an actor to be President - how silly of me!

I am British

Besides all those black dude actors are hetero, and the OP wants a GAY black president.
We all know pretty much what ya gotta do to be "gay". But what do ya have to do to be black - how many totally African ancestors do you need?
Perhaps Tom Cruise will come out of the closet eventually and go for a DNA test. Then you can all have yourselves your first Scientology Prez!
Or how about John Travolta - we all know those moves tell us there is a black man AND a gay man in that in that whale of an Italian body.
Then we won't have "Shock and Awe", we'll have "Grease Lightnin"!
No? How about Little Richard for Prez? I can hear the inaugeration speech now: "Oow, oow, ooh my soul! I told all ya people I was beautiful, and good golly miss molly look at me now!"
If only - the white establishment will steal and co-opt. The first gay black prez will be:
Mr Vanilla Ice!!!!

you keep on rocking the jungle juice

We've already had several gay black presidents. Not literally of course, but as far as it matters anyway. Pray tell, what exactly is the difference between George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Ru Paul? Chemically speaking, they're more than 99% the same thing, and if you go by sex appeal they all may as well be the same damn person as far as I'm concerned (as I find any one of them just slightly less objectionable than a bear trap in terms of mating).

We do, afterall, have a black president right now. And not only have I not finally had to make good on my great-great-grandfather's debt of 40 acres and a mule, but in fact I've never heard so many racist jokes in my life. But if he were also gay I'm supposed to believe that he'd run amok on our whole way of life?

Doesn't sound right to me. Afterall, it's pretty likely that we've had gay presidents as well. James Buchanan probably screwed William Rufus DeVane King silly- in fact the two lived together and people referred to King as Buchanan's wife (though president Jackson preferred to call King "Aunt Fancy") and yet America survived King being second in line for the presidency on two separate occasions AND Buchanan becoming president afterward.

I'm guessing that if we had a gay black president, he'd be so busy not offending us that he'd be lucky if he had time left over to do his job (which would make him fit in splendidly with everyone else in American politics today). Afterall, let's not forget that this is the same country where Joe Lewis had to pretend he didn't like watermelon just to avoid being ridiculed.

How do you know I am not a gay black guy, other than my repeated mentions of being a straight white guy (which, by the way, is a perfectly reasonable thing for a gay black guy to claim to be in a world as backwards as ours)?

Seriously, how can you tell I'm not gay and black? Is it the fact that I used to be a neo-con, or the fact that I am now a socialist? Is it the fact I was a Marine, or the fact that I have been incarcerated? Is it that I was a hardcore Christian or that I later became a Satanist?

If I can sit here, consistently maintaining the most ridiculous shade of white you've ever seen in your life and writing letters to Chasey Lain that even The Bloodhound Gang would think twice about mailing, while absolutely everything about my actions and my mode of thinking thrashes wildly from one polar extreme to the other, then how am I supposed to characterize an unspecified individual from the future given only his race and sexual orientation? And how am I supposed to have any faith in anyone who thinks they know the answer?
