Mexico elects first female president

Are there any black women presidents in history? If so where? Maybe that is what people are afraid of.

Liberia had a black female president.

As far as the U.S., we've had a black president who the current one served as VP for not that long ago. Kamala is also the first black and Indian VP, so a black/Indian woman as President is not that much of a stretch.

A woman also won the nomination for president by a major political party and even won the popular vote. Women have already been chosen for VP by both of the main political parties, (Sarah Palin, Harris).

I doubt that America is honestly that unprepared for a nonwhite woman president given our recent history of choosing blacks and women for the first and second highest offices.

You're playing dumb. Your history of posts is one of white supremacist rhetoric, despite your claims of Indian heritage. It's with this background of yours that my post was based on.

If someone on this forum known for hating Jews brought up the Mexican president's Jewish ancestry––unprompted––how would you respond?

But maybe I'm jumping the gun maybe you actually do ...[text shortened]... a black U.S. presidential candidate's race on a thread about Mexican politics. Let's give you that.

See, there it is again... white supremacist rhetoric .. What the hell is that?

Also the thread is about Mexico but as usual someone brought in US politics.

Will she be tough on corruption, cartels and immigration?
Nope. But neither did the male Presidents of the past.
Mexico could be beautiful and prosperous but they just don't want that.

Culture.

We now know that "Culture" is the favored dog-whistle for racism.

But you do you.

Would you consider yourself a racist? I only ask because you are sounding a bit like one. She has said she is of Indian and Black ancestry, don't you listen to what she says. When you look at her do you see a black woman or an East Indian woman?

A bit?

To be honest, Im not up to date with your society's definition of these terms which youall use to describe people who ask uncomfortable [but relevant] questions, and frankly I dont care to be. Some of these terms are like homophobia, islamophobia, bigot, racist, nazi, redneck ... and a whole bunch of others.

So to answer your question, I dont see anything but a woman. How ...[text shortened]... can elections. The question I asked remain unanswered because you chose to attack me. I wonder why?

Being an avowed sexist is just barely a step up from being an avowed racist.

You forgot Geraldine Ferraro in 1984. She was Walter Mondale's running mate. A gutsy move back then.

Mexico's first female president vows 'it's time for women'

The passing of the presidential sash every six years is always an important and symbolic occasion in Mexico.

But on Tuesday, when it was placed over the shoulder of Claudia Sheinbaum - the first woman to hold the highest office in the country - it wa ...[text shortened]... and outside the congressional chamber, she raised her fist in victory, savouring the moment.

I wonder, if Harris wins, will Canada follow suit?

Ahhh, looked it up, I see they already had their first (and only) woman Prime Minister in Kim Campbell for 4.5 months in 1993.
