    From what I've seen its not that they're turning her down as not black enough, its that its racist to have such high expectations of a black woman.

      I can see where they could be coming from with that via the criticism of the trope of having an Atlas-like black female leader who has to carry the weight of the world left to her by incompetent white men. The idea being that white leaders should own up to and fix some of their own problems instead of giving them all to a member of an oppressed class to remedy.

        I mean, I guess, but it's honestly more problematic to assume that white men have to fix all the problems they caused before allowing a black woman to be in power.
