African americans are just that - americans. Just as american as any other human living there. Actually, a little less american than the indians, but whatever. When you elect, say, and Indian or Arab, then we can talk.
Well they can't do that , even if the arab or indian gets citizenship they still can't be elected as the office is only open to natural americans .
So for example while Bustamante was a hispanic he could get elected for state governement and could run for president , but Arnie who is "white" could run for state government but not for president .
So while you mention Sarko as an example of a son of an immigrant being elected as President I suppose Ireland can go one better by having had several actual immigrants elected as President and several minorities elected to that office too .
Ireland the banana republic that is the true leader of freedom and beacon of democracy in the western world .
