You think ther isn't a hope in hell! Are you sure yall r black Martin Luther King had a dream and people in those days didn't believe that segragation laws would be stopped but da were. To grow as a race we must first see da dream and then work towards it nothing ever happens without thought and determination. Be positive the white man has brain washed uinto thinkinit is impossible to become a prime minister. If u put your mind to anything u can achieve it .

confused3i'm confused r u sayin der wont be a black prime minister becoz towards da end u seemed to sway to the other side of the argument pleaz. clarify.

and what u said about black street crime it will benefit white people becoz dey won't think der gonna get mugged by sum black guy. A black person won't just become a prime minister just 2 benefit the standard of livin 4 blacks but also other issues tony blair doesn't just talk about whites but other things as well if yeah get my drift

No disrespect sweetbeckyboo

White tax payers money is used 4 blacks der are blacks in public schools, on nhs, students who get grants 4 higher education, blacks in da military blacks on income support same as der r whites da government tries notto differ. It is individuals who do dis if u get a rascist teacher it ain't da governments fault. Do you get my drift

A lot of ppl strayed off da topic, but going back to the title of this thread:

I was reading something a few years ago that the next pope in line after John Paul II is an African man from Nigeria.

Never say Never

Triniman: when the Pope dead, we will see who is right ok, if you think the recent rift in the anglican Church was big over gay Bishops..just wait for the suggestion that the Vatican is even thinking about a Nigerian pope.....read my lips; IT WON'T HAPPEN!!!

Others cast their eyes to the right of the apostolic palace, to the window of a cardinal who could become very famous very soon. Francis Arinze is tipped by some to succeed John Paul II and become the first African in 1,500 years to sit on the throne of St Peter.
Cardinal Arinze was first touted as papabile - "popeable" - by another Vatican analyst, Peter Hebblethwaite, in 1992. Since then he has stayed on the notional shortlist of successors, seldom putting a foot wrong in the writings, speeches and diplomacy by which cardinals are evaluated.
Any open backing for a candidacy is frowned upon in as much as it anticipates the incumbent's death. However, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, a confidant of John Paul and the Vatican's theological watchdog, came close when he said electing an African pope "would be a positive sign for the whole of Christendom".
For all its condemnation of racism, the western world still has reservations about the third world," Cardinal Ratzinger said. "Yet, in Africa for example, we have truly great figures whom we can only admire. They are fully up to the job." Two Latin American cardinals recently swelled that chorus.
