ID4 doesn't have a black president. The president is the jet jockey who blows up the ship over Area 51. The black guy in that movie was Will Smith, who infected and blew up the mothership.

Didn't Deep Impact have Morgan Freeman as president?

It's not a movie, but didn't the president from TV "drama" 24, get bumped off? Wasn't he black? Wasn't his brother president after and had to deal there a spate of bombings in LA, including a dirty bomb?

No no. Black President just means "see this is really the future". The future is now!

Well, that's not very nice, is it (quite articulate, though)? I guess not everyone has a sense of humor about these things. Rolling Eyes

I have a sense of humor....when things are funny. Make jokes, mock his elitism, mock his toothy smile, mock his inexperience etc......

Racial stereotypes aren't very funny.

Watermelons? Someone explain to me why that's racist? I'm not American, by the way?
