I really have to LMAO @ all you wanna be race crusaders that see racists and racism everywhere you look. If you've ever laughed at the Wayans Brothers, In Living Color, Saturday Night Live or even Animal House. You have to laugh at this, even if it's just a little bit. LOL

Would one of you cry-baby race crusaders explain to me how this post was racist, after all Obama is half "WHITE" and half "BLACK". That being said how many of you crusaders would cry if the book title stated " Where are all the Black women", huh.


LMAO

From ABC 7 News:
Obama's Ancestors May Have Owned Slaves

Washington (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama, who would be the first black president, has white ancestors who owned slaves, according to a genealogical researcher. The researcher, William Addams Reitwiesner, says the discovery is part of his first draft of research into Obama's roots. Obama's father was from Kenya and his mother was a white woman from Kansas.

Obama wrote in his autobiography, "Dreams from My Father," that while one of his great-great-grandfathers was a decorated Union soldier, family rumors also say he is distantly related to Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy.

Reitwiesner found in 1850 Census records from Kentucky that one of Obama's great-great-great-great grandfathers, George Washington Overall, owned a 15-year-old girl and a 25-year-old man. The same records show that one of Obama's great-great-great-great-great-grandmothers, Mary Duvall, also owned two black slaves - a 60-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman.

The Baltimore Sun first reported Reitwiesner's work and asked genealogical experts to review it, but they would not confirm the findings.

Obama spokesman Bill Burton said the senator's ancestors "are representative of America."

"While a relative owned slaves, another fought for the Union in the Civil War," Burton said. "And it is a true measure of progress that the descendant of a slave owner would come to marry a student from Kenya and produce a son who would grow up to be a candidate for president of the United States."

Reitwiesner found that two other presidential candidates were descendants of slave owners - Republican John McCain and Democrat John Edwards.

The New York Daily News reported recently that genealogists found that relatives of former segregationist Sen. Strom Thurmond appear to have owned the ancestors of civil rights activist Al Sharpton.



You guys want to hold down that whole "Roots" thing. I'm trying to pay attention to the issues.

The fact that a possible future Anerican President or VP (under Hillary) would have a Kenyan goat herder for a father couldn't have been written any funnier for a movie.

^ Cool movie even though watching a middle- aged, paunchy, white guy (Michael Douglas) dancing around the fire was stretching it a little. LOL!

I don't know if Mr. Barak Hussein Obama can throw a spear but he certainly can fling bull with the very best!

Not to get off on a tangent, but wouldn't it be something if someone invented a baboon ass line of colorful clothing? LMAO!

I felt Michael Douglas was perfect for the part in the movie, "The Ghost and the Darkness", and Obama would have been a great Masai Warrior for the movie as well..dancing and chanting and sticking his spear up in the air.....LOL

Have you noticed how its always the lower class illiterate whites that are against the blacks. They must feel threatened.

I feel threatened by ignorant trash eating up my caviar to look 'posh' and they dont even know how to spell it. What a crying shame.
