How many black people have been nominated and run for president in the past 232 years?
Blacks have succeeded in many fields of endeavor.

Yeah, I know that.

How many have tried to get a party nomination for the presidency? I know of only one but I don't remember his name.

Blanche Kelso Bruce, 1880. <http://prince.org/msg/105/261048>. I thought I remembered one, was probably thinking of Frederick Douglass.

No it wasn't Douglas. The fellow I was thinking about has a doctorate degree and is alive today.


It isn't color that attracts or detracts voters, it's the media hype and promised Bull Shit.

... and the people who swallow it whole and pass it on.
