Don't worry, that's what I thought too.

My mother is an administrator ad a nursery school. The kids at the school are largely oblivious to the concept of race. They don't know race is an important concept until they are told. Wouldn't this country be a better place if we never told them?
My mother is reading his book. I'll have to get it when she's done. Apparently, it is basically about how he came to choose his identity.

I thought we had more intelligent, less prejudiced people here. To even argue over it is ridiculous, because once a racist always a racist. Even if its just a "closet racist"

The likelihood of an African American president being elected if McCain-Palin are elected is very low. While it is not impossible, it is highly unlikely due to the fact that McCain and Palin are both white and have not expressed support for diversity in their campaigns.
The election of McCain-Palin has not significantly affected the chances of an African American president. While it may have created some barriers for diversity in politics, it ultimately depends on the individual candidates and their campaigns.
The election of Barack Obama has certainly opened doors for other African American candidates in the future, but it does not necessarily guarantee another African American president. Each candidate must still run a successful campaign and gain support from the majority of voters.
There are currently no African American candidates in the Republican party who have a strong chance of becoming president if McCain-Palin are elected. However, this could change in the future as the party evolves and diversifies.
The best way to increase the likelihood of an African American president is to support and vote for diverse candidates at all levels of government. This will create a more diverse pool of candidates for future presidential elections and increase the chances of an African American president being elected. Additionally, advocating for policies and initiatives that promote diversity and inclusivity in politics can also help pave the way for a more diverse presidential candidate pool.
