What Is More Historic? The 1st Black Prez vs The 1st Female?
What is more historic? Having a black president or having a female president?
Lets say Hillary Clinton wins the next election, in the history books, lets say 30 years+ from now, who would be viewed as a bigger barrier buster....her or Obama?
I was talking with a friend the other and she said that the US had historically been more sexist than racist, and I asked her how so? And she said that black men were allowed to vote before white females but on the other hand white females as a whole were not enslaved though they were denied some rights as well so I don't know, I don't want to come as insensitive to women but I believe the first black president was something very huge
It's amazing how far people's views of blacks have come in America, from being enslaved to running the nation. I'd still say a female president would be more groundbreaking, seeing how the role of a woman has changed throughout human history.

This shouldn't be a competition both are historic for their own reasons. There's no reason to compare the two feats.
Female.
The fact a woman would hold the position of most powerful person in the world is far more of an achievement than just another man. Sexism and the suppression of women's rights have been present since the existence of human beings on this earth whereas racism against black people has been going on for only a few centuries (and for example wasn't a big issue in most European countries).
It'd be a great victory for humanity if a woman would become president of the US, the most powerful country on earth. Not to talk **** about the battle against racism cuz I really respect that but I think a female president would set an example for the entire world, not just countries with a high percentage of black people.
