Good for Ilya Somin. Teapot Dome aside, Warren Harding actually promoted equal rights for black Americans, reversed many of Woodrow Wilson's destructive policies, and, though it goes unmentioned here, slashed taxes to promote economic prosperity. I don't know whether he was truly our first black president, but he is definitely an underrated one.
