No. There was a black woman who ran for president. This was a VERY long time ago.

Plus Obama is the sixth black president.

No there has never been a black president before. [except for Obama] And there may have been a black person running for president but did not make it so that does not count as a president.

Yes, Barack Obama is the first black President of the United States of America.

Though he is half black and half white, he is still considered black by many around the world and he does not mind the title of being the "First black president of the US".

Yes, Obama is the first black president of the U.S. Although, there were many more amazing black people that helped sculpt this country before him.

Matter of fact he is the only black man that has ever been the president of the US.

Obama has been correctly referred to as the first "black President", but it is technically incorrect to list him as "African American" since his mother was caucasian (Scotch-Irish). It is more accurate to refer to Obama's ethnicity as "mixed race".

Yes, he is. (Note that the term "Negro" is old-fashioned and may be perceived as offensive nowadays; the preferred term today is "African American" or simply "black.")

Barack Obama hails from a white mother and an african father who (may) have been a muslim. Jesse Jackson was the first African American to run for president in 1984 for the Demecratic party.
