Many Americans believe that Obama was the first black president of North American, including myself, until I found this article, correcting the popular belief. A man named Vicente Guerrero, the second president of the Republic of Mexico in 1829, was the first black president or as his opponents referred to him, "el Negro Guerrero" . Race was and still is important to many civilians, many believe the color of your skin is an indication of an individual's mental capabilities. Over 179 years later, would America break the barriers of racializing the qualifications for presidency. Does this imply America is less socially evolved then Mexico and other countries?
