was there black presidents before ?

In my day , I never heard that there was. Slavery kept the blacks as "prisoners" in the white man's world. Sad but true. The color of someones skin in these times, shouldn't matter. We have the privilege of voting for who is running and who we want and even write-ins. What a candidate stands for and what a candidate proposes to accomplish should matter and not what race they are.

Secretary Of State Condoleezza Rice

Former Secretary Of State Colin Powell

The Secretary Of State is the second office in line of succession to the Presidency of the United States, after only the Vice President. If the President and the Vice President were to suddenly die in office while a substantial amount of the President's term still remained, the Secretary Of State would succeed immediately to serve out the President's term. The Secretary Of State is an appointed cabinet post in the executive branch, a direct appointment by the President. The current Secretary Of State Condoleezza Rice (serving 2005 - present), and her predecessor Colin Powell (served 2001 - 2005), are the closest the United States has come to electing a black President.

That's just some weird conspiracy theory. People would know if there had been a black president, no matter how short of a term he ran... also there was no president before George Washington. He was the first president and the only to be unanimously voted into the White House.

There have been other Black folk RUN for president of the U.S.

I think your teacher is wrong.....make her prove it.

Clinton was said to be the first Black president.

Obama won't be the first Black even if he wins as he's just half Black.

The Supreme Court (higher than the president) had a Black first.

There are many Black folk in the Senate and the House.

Yes, but it has been refuted by scholars. His name was John Hanson

Ask your teacher to give credible sources for the info............... And if the teacher get's mad, go to your parents for back up......

Your teacher is either a racist or an idiot; come to think of it, a racist IS an idiot....

Yeah, I know, how "christian" of me....I calls it likes ah sees it.

First Obama is not Black. he is half white and half bedoin muslim.

I would ask you teacher to provied you with sources of her claim or is it just a conspericy of hers.

Ignorance is no excuse for not knowing.

Ignorance is cureable but stupidity is inherited.

Think about what your saying poster asking if GW was black it was the 1800's you dope.
