I’m not sure it’s happened in a general though. Maybe a super small party but I’m not aware of a Green or Libertarian candidate that was Black
Comment on A Black woman has never lost the general election for POTUS in US history but 46 white men have lost

I get the feeling in OPs post, but for those unfamiliar, there are more people on the ballot other than the 2 main picks. This even varies by state, as they can have different criteria for defining who makes it to the ballot.
So perhaps a black woman has at some point ran for president (as in, made it to the ballot at least)?

At least one campaigned to be on the Democrat ballot in 1977. That counts as running for president, even if they don’t win the primary right?

That’s why I specified “general”. I’m not sure a Black woman was ever on a general election ballot
