Don't worry, I get extremely bored on weekends and extended breaks, too. Then again, I have next to nothing to do outside the house, aside from riding my bike...

Damn, a black president would have been cool, but a black president who's also a prince? That'd be the greatest thing ever.

By the end of his campaign, various people will no doubt be left with the impression she's black, white, christian, Jewish and muslim, a practicing Buddhist, with leanings towards confucianism.

Yeah, you're right. It's sad that things like that will be said maliciously to hurt his chances at the presidency. For the record though, his mom was white American, originally Christian, but with no real religious affiliation. His father was a black Kenyan, and a Muslim. His stepfather was an Indonesian, also Muslim. However, he raised to tolerate all religions, and never really raised in one. As he grew older, he joined the Christian religion by choice.

And if that black president who is a prince was also Eddie Murphy, that'd be amazing!

See, I don't understand that. Why wouldnt it be "color-blind"? Why is it "cool" to have a Black President of America, simply for being Black? Would it be "cool" to have a White leader of...Congo, just for being White in a majority black nation?

It's cool to be the first one of something. That's all this is.

It's wonderful to see a synthesis of trendwhore politics with internet stupidity. I can imagine a successful Vin Diesel/Spears '12 campaign if the political system keeps on progressing like this.

It would be cool to be the white leader of Congo if it weren't because the last time that happened the white leaders of Congo were Belgian colonialists. And it wasn't that long ago.

If the US had been controlled by blacks colonialists, then it would be cool to become the first white leader of the US.

There have been many white leaders in Black majority nations and it has never been a question of triumphing over the adversity that a black or mixed race American has had to triumph over.

It would also be "cool" to have a female president of the US. It's about all people having an equal opportunity, regardless of colour, sex, creed etc.

So damn straight it would be great if there could be a black president of the US.

What is the real problem that you have with multi-culturalism? Are you sure that you don't resent/have certain prejudices toward minorities? Just checking....
