So a white guy runs for and wins the Presidency and then proceeds to screw-up royally (ie Jimmy Carter) and so we turn around and NOT elect someone like Ronal Regan because he is a white guy too?

As for me this line from Saara's 'Killer Angels' comes to mind: "No two things on this earth are equal or have an equal chance, not a leaf nor a tree. There's many a man worse than me, and some that are better, but I don't think race or country matters a damm. What matters is justice. 'Tis why I'm here, I'll be treated as I deserve, not as my father deserved."

Who said anything about policy screw-ups. But thank you for demonstrating my point.
