But there are way too many people who won't elect a black candidate and a woman who won't attract female voters isn't winning either.
If we wait for "America to be ready", we will wait forever...change is never comfortable and sometimes it comes at great expense. Kennedy "couldn't win" because he was Catholic (I'm old enough to remember all the comments about the pope moving to the White House)...but he did win! If you allow folks to sit back in their comfortable easy chairs and decide they are "ready" for change, it won't happen...but make them take chance, present them with an opportunity and sometimes...folks will surprise you! Gandhi and King succeeded because they appealed to people's conscience and "inner goodness"...present people with a choice and educate them on the importance of eliminating bigotry and who knows? Some folks will never vote for a woman or a black...hopefully they are in the minority...it's way past time we find out!
