There Won't be another Black President in America

It was a quirk of fate that propelled Barack Obama as President of the United States of America. I am afraid there won't be another black president.  Obama became president  without majority support of the white community. The whites never expected he would become president and when he became president, it was a Teutonic shock for them, at least the majority.

What is the reason the whites never accepted him as one of them? The fact that he is Afro American went against him. His good work like not starting a fresh war, normalisation of relations with Cuba, war on terror , Obamacare among others were trashed. It was made out that he was the worst president America had. In reality he brought a lot of pragmatism to the presidency. He did in a way change the perception of America abroad. Unfortunately it did not gel with the whites.

On my visit to America, I found the Blacks and Latinos rooting for Obama but only a small minority  of whites felt Obama was a success.  To talk of  America as a land of opportunity must thus be taken with a pinch of salt.
