Will Britain's First Black Prime Minister Please Stand Up

In the giddy aftermath of Barack Obama becoming the first Black President of America, it has raised questions of whether now is the time for Britain to experience the same.

However to my way of thinking Britain has already overcome many of the barriers that have been holding black people back in the United States.

Britain already has a good number of intelligent and influential black people within the highest ranks in the country, ranging from the media, politics and business.

For a long time people in Britain have felt that they were always a step or two behind America, however in many cases I think we are ahead.
