13 Fake Black US Presidents
Posted: 01 Jan 2014 09:57 PM PST
Iwas 27 years old in 1972 when I saw my first film (The Man) with a black US
President Since then movies and TV have, for the most part, portrayed black US
presidents as men with courage, fortitude, intelligence, and who are good
leaders not afraid to make difficult decisions without hesitation. At the
bottom of this article, I will cover the few exceptions where they are depicted
as incompetent morons unsuited for the Presidency.
So here are 13 fake black US Presidents as seen in film and on TV (click on any
panel for larger view):
Mosaic made with Mosaic Maker
Legend
# Actor Role Medium Title
1 Barack Obama The Messiah Documentary 2016 Obama's America
2 Dennis Dexter Haysbert President David Palmer TV Series 24
3 D.B. Woodside President Wayne Palmer TV Series 24
4 James Earl Jones President Douglas Dilman Novel/Film The Man
5 Chris Rock President Mays Gilliam Film Head of State
6 Terry Crews President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho Film
Idiocracy
7 Tom Lister Jr. President Lindberg Film The Fifth Element
8 Danny Glover President Thomas Wilson Film 2012
9 Blair Underwood President Elias Martinez TV Series Event
10 Jamie Foxx President Sawyer Film White House Down
11 Roger Cross President Film Polar Storm
12 Louis Gossett Jr. President Ryan Gordon TV Film Solar Attack
13 Morgan Freeman President Tom Beck film Deep Impact
While President David Palmer in the hit TV series 24 acts like the kind of
president we can all admire, Chris Rock in Head of State and Terry Crews in
Idiocracy both act more like Barack Obama, an incompetent, inexperienced
political tyro who shouldn't even have been elected dog catcher let alone
President of the most powerful country in the world.
It should be noted that in many films, such as Deep Impact and 2012, disaster
strikes during the reign of a black president. We see this of course during the
Obama Presidency in which this country is experiencing the greatest disaster in
her history, the rise of our first American dictator.
