Default Obama will not be the first Black President

I don't know the veracity of these claims, but I think it is kinda funny, huh?

On President's Day, Remember Your 5 Black Presidents

"Which other presidents hid their African ancestry? Well, it's not Bill Clinton, even though the Congressional Black Caucus honored him as the nation's "first Black president" at its 2001 annual awards dinner. Presidents Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge all had Black ancestors they kept in their genealogical closets, according to historians."

On another note, there have been 4 presidents who were assasignated, 3 republicans, 1 democrat. Can you name them? If not, why?

black is a color, thats mostly what the label is in reference to - color, appearance.

They were all black?

Jefferson was described as the "son of a half-breed Indian squaw and a Virginia mulatto father" (from the link)

Jackson, Coolidge, and Harding are merely speculation
(I would need to see a geneological tree...)

Although there is a little more evidence for Lincoln (but it could be speculation also).

Yeah, well ya have to read the article that I linked to. But not that it is important. I really take this garbage with the grain of salt.

I have a friend who is half black and half white. I asked him once how he decided which half to claim, genetically speaking. He said, "Other people decide for you"--meaning, that because he had wiry hair and a latte' complexion, he called himself "black."

Every half black person I've ever seen, from "regular" people, to movie stars, to muscians, to Presidential hopefuls, called themselves black for that very reason.

What's also interesting is that Obama isn't even black!

He is 50% white (from his mom) and his father was an Arab living in Kenya. His father has one black relative, his great-grandfather, making him 1/8 black, and Barack Obama 1/16 black!

I don't get the people who say "oh Barack Obama is someone like me." He's 6/25% black.
