Is America Ready for a Minority President?

Either case, people should be elected based on their political platforms. Not based on their party affiliation, religion, race, sex and gender, sexual orientation, etc. So I don't think we "need" a minority president unless that person has something to offer besides being a minority.

I think you know full well what I meant and it has nothing to do with choosing a minority who isn't qualified. So let me rephrase...we need a minority president who IS qualified. And yes we do "need" one since we all know that years upon years of White male leadership can't possibly be good for a diverse and progressive country, as we like to think we are. In my opinion both Hillary and Obama are qualified.
