http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Cain Republican presidential candidate, hell he even gave his support to newt when he bowed out the race, and newt has a black middle name, least in my neck of the woods 'leroy'.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_West_(politician) the tea party lot and many conservatives at one point didn't just want former congressman west to run for president I think they wanted to make him king of the world or some shyt. when she started talking about fixing bayonets and told president obama to 'get the hell out of 'his' country and take his communism with him' .
loads of conservatives want this guy to run ' Dr. Benjamin Carson'

And these are just black conservatives, compare that to my country UK, we have a few black and racial minority members of parliament,but never has one held a cabinet position and run a key office of state, let alone ran for election as leader of a party to be PM even with the left wing parties we are much much behind the US. I remember george bush's cabinet and advisors there was a number of african americans in senior positions.That is why ,when I hear british liberals on TV, alwayswhite liberals sneer about the US and racism I think you are sitting in a big fukk off glass house,we are a very racist country beneath the surface. , I I think president obama broke the ceiling though,I thought the campaign he ran in 2008 was masterful. Not a fan of his politics, but was very impressed in many other ways.
