Question:
Every single American president has been a heterosexual, Christian, white man. Is this just a coincidence or are Americans bigots?

There hasn't been a single homosexual or transgendered president.

There has never been a Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, atheist, Scientologist or Tarvuist president.

There has never been a president without at least one white parent. There has never been a black, Asian, Hispanic, Arab, Hmong or Comanchee president.

This is not a coincidence.

We really don't know whether there has been a homosexual president. Most gays stayed in the closet until just recently, especially if they were in politics. No one could run openly as any of the things you listed. It was a HUGE deal when Kennedy ran because he was Catholic and people thought he'd be taking orders from the Pope.

Until the 20th century, the only people who could vote were white males, so it's really not surprising that they held all the offices. Women make up more than 50% of the population, but a small minority of legislators, and there's never been a woman president or vice president either. Since they are a majority, not a minority, lets worry about them first.

Here is some math for your head. It's all about percentages.



Presidents were bound to be white Christians for a considerable time since only in the last 50 years have there been any substantial numbers of people that weren't white Christians that could vote (much less get voted into lower offices). Basically only in the last 12 Presidential terms was there even a chance that a non-Christian non-white person would even stand a chance or be remotely qualified (no thanks to Demokkkrats). Obama basically confirms this theory.



Of course since this is logic and science, and liberals hate me because I am a conservative, I will get thumbed down. Have at it. You make me laugh.

Be careful because the cons like to say the president is muslim as if it is some sort of insult, or it is illegal. Most cons still have that "witch hunt" mentality about them. They just can't stand people who are different than they are or have different beliefs. So yes I would say this country is full of bigots.

Even if we had a president that was gay or not christian, they wouldn't dare tell because they'd surely be burned at the stake.

idk would you vote for a gay guy? the only thing in his agenda is GAY RIGHTS.....

same with transgendered.

And they are married cause they usually have a certain age and usually people get married.

And america is still white dominated, taking up most of the population. And like what the first 30 presidents lived in a virtually all white america.

And Christians wouldn't vote for a muslim or anyone of other religion. And christians make up like a VERY large percentage.

And world image too. America is led by a Jew? no wonder the support for israel. America is led by gays? Rest of world : LOLOlOloLoLoLolLlOolLLoLL

Could you imagine a transgender caring about anyone or anything besides transgender issues? They're quite easily the most self obsessed, biased group ever, and I could never see the majority of Americans voting for one.

It isn't bigoted to choose leaders that are like the majority of us. Do you ever whine about China not having a gay black president?



This shaming that liberals like to do won't sway me to vote for anyone just to prove a lack of bigotry. For the sake of your party, you need to stop this bullshit. You are turning more and more people off with it.

Obama isn't white, but otherwise your statement appears to be correct (although we can't know about sexual orientation).



Race plays a factor in elections. Reasonable people may disagree on the degree to which race plays a part, but anyone who flat-denies this is either ignorant or stupid.

That is probably not 100% true.. We may have had a gay president.. Pretty sure we have had atheist presidents..Obama is only 1/2 white.

No, it's not a coincidence, it's a matter of math, probability and common sense.

So? Anyone has a right to run for President. No one stops anyone. They go through the "primary" process and whoever wins the primary runs against their opponent.

We are not a "Muslim" nation as a whole...so, why would a Muslim run for President?

As has been mentioned already, JFK was a Catholic. Also Richard Nixon was a Quaker. And as history has shown over the years, America has been a nation of bigots.

Most are bigots, whether they admit it or not. This is being revealed as we speak.
