04/03/2008: "Americans "ready for black president""

The number of Americans who believe that the country is ready for a black president is rising, a poll released Thursday suggested.

More than three quarters, 76 percent, of respondents in a CNN/Essence Magazine/Opinion Research Corp. poll said the country is ready to be led by an African-American, up 14 percentage points since December 2006.

The poll was conducted by telephone from March 26 to April 2, with 2,184 Americans questioned, including 1,014 blacks and 1,001 whites.

[ I thought being non-racist meant judging people on their abilities, not whether or not they're black presidents. Hmm. ]
