The Inauguration

[Cynical Ninja]

Just as a side note... I recall several years ago, while watching the show '24 Hours', I was saying to my husband "I bet this whole thing with the 'black president' is subtly preparing Americans for a future black candidate".

Now we have a dark skinned president for the first time in our country's history. It's probably just a coincidence, but it's a little creepy to me to think that mainstream media could influence such a large decision for our country. Not that I care what color his skin is, but it's a fact that a lot of people do still care, so I'm still a bit surprised that he even got in.

Who was the first on-screen black president?

I know Morgan Freeman (who else!) played the president in the film Deep Impact.
