First Black President Will Be a Republican

This is prediction I made a while back, and have lately been wondering if I was wrong. It appears Alicia Colon of the New York Sun predicts the same things...

Is America ready for a black president? Absolutely; it has been for some time. We probably would have had one by now if the black community had ever supported a conservative the way they are now supporting one of the most liberal. More than likely the first black president will be a Republican....

The blacks who have attained the strongest national leadership roles have been Republicans: the first black secretary of state, Colin Powell, and the first black female secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice.

Republicans have been ready for a black president since Lincoln.

Another big problem that she doesn't mention is that the MSM routinely ignore black Republicans, and pretend they don't exist, even though there are quite a few of them. Somehow typecasting blacks as always Democrats doesn't fit the "standard" definition of racist. Wonder how that works?

It is worth noticing that when a black Republican achieves notoriety it's someone immensely qualified. When black Democrats achieve notoriety is is almost always someone of questionable if not miniscule qualifications. Handing positions to blacks because of their skin color presumes they lack the ability to achieve it any other way. Democrats obviously believe this while Republicans obviously don't. Yet look who the MSM consistently portray as friendly to blacks.
