Genderism in South Africa and USA
Apartheid in South Africa was not only about race: it was also about gender. In those days, women were not allowed to enter a bar or join the Toastmasters Association. Even if a woman earned a higher salary than her husband, she was not allowed to open a credit account in a shop without her husband's permission (read "Murder @ Work" for more insights on the topic).
All that has changed. And yet, in the run-up to the 2009 General Elections, there is no sign of women candidates. I imagine South Africa is simply not ready for a woman president. What about USA?
Says Earl Ofari Hutchinson in "The Ethnic Presidency: How Race Affects the Race to the White House":
(...) There were also mixed signals if whether being a woman would help more than hurt Clinton even with women in a wide segment of America. In a Newsweek poll in July 2007, fewer voters said they would vote for a woman candidate for president than a black candidate. Hillary scored just as dismal when asked whether the country was ready for a female president. More said no to this question than said no for a black president. The gender reluctance by big chunks of voters was in part offset by the experience factor. Hillary scored big on this in the polls.
The Hillary distaste in part explained why in February 2007 Hollywood mogul David Geffen, a long time Clinton family cheerleader and campaign bankroller sucker punched Clinton with the knock that she would polarize voters. The implication was that she would be a disaster for the Democrats if she were to get the party presidential bid. Geffen rapped Clinton at the moment that he and some other Hollywood movie big shots pumped a reported cool million dollars into Obama’s campaign coffers. (...)
At the same moment, a slew of conservative hit groups loudly announced they had sunk loads of cash into a pack of “stop Hillary” websites, muckraking pieces and scheduled attack ads on her. They vowed this was just the start of a freewheeling, no holds barred disinformation effort to sabotage her campaign.

Will America accept a black president?
It's ironic if you think about it. South Africa, the echelon of apartheid during the better part of the 20th century, has a black president. Continually since 1994, in fact. (My book, "Murder @ Work", explores how South Africans reacted to that.)
Now the world's eyes are on USA. Would America accept a black president?
The Ethnic Presidency: How Race Decides the Race to the White House is an explosive look at how racial and ethnic conflict has openly and covertly played a crucial role the past three decades in influencing, shaping and ultimately deciding who bags the world’s biggest political prize, the White House. It tells how racial politics will play an even bigger role in the 2008 presidential election and future elections.
It examines Obamamania, the Hillary and Bill factor, the soaring Latino vote, the silent but potent Asian-American vote, the immigration wars, the GOP’s love-hate relationship with black and Latino America, and Bush’s effort to recast the GOP from a clubby, ole white guys party to a party of racial diversity.
