Who was the first black male first lady?

On Larry King, he tells Michelle, "You're going to the first black female first lady," uh huh, Larry.

1. He's right; her presence as the first black first lady would only be overshadowed by

the first black president! Yes We Can!

3. Yes, but the way he worded that statement was weird.

5. Because the alternative is a male, perhaps?

King might be suggesting that the alternative to Michelle Obama is Bill Clinton.

6. Well I know they call him the first black president, but I doubt he's really black! :D

11. He isn't. But "they" still call him that.

I never understood why Clinton was "the first black president". He didn't do a whole lot for black people, and his humble upbringings are not exactly a new thing (Lincoln? LBJ? Carter?).

9. I don't want a first lady, I want a woman president

we haven't had any of those and its time. There's no need to elect a less qualified man if the better candidate is a woman. Let the men take the first ___ role for a change.
