Obama is great ... great grandson of first US slave?

[RetArmySgt]

I think they are reaching pretty hard to get him reelected that there are pulling this now.

President Obama related to country

"... President Obama is related to John Punch, the first black African enslaved for life in America..."

"...and six past presidents, including George W. Bush..."

The things that come immediately to mind would most likely come across as racist in type. So, I'll just say bullshit.

 

[TXDARKHORSE361]

Just wow.

 

[lalonguecarabine]

I'm sure glad I wore my boots today...

Man they'll say anything at all to try to earn favor. There is no such thing as truth to his campaign or staff.

It will be interesting to see how the run off election goes tomorrow.

Gotta say I wouldn't be surprised if its true, but that is because there is probably someone on this forum related to the same man.

If you go back far enough you learn that you have many distant relatives and at some point the connections become meaningless to an extent.

Hell, my kids are related to George Jones but I'm not calling him to hang out.

I may also very well be a descendant of the first black slave in America, or possibly one of the first Irish immigrants who were working in the mills and living in conditions that in many cases were worse than what many slaves endured.

Point being, WTF does it matter.

What the article fails to mention is that the DNA trace-work was done by this guy:

Be careful you don't step in the bull shit.

 

[stdreb27]

lol, but wasn't it a black guy who went to court to keep his indentured servants?

Hey...Beeker is the shit...lol

Those guys (Indentured servants) usually had it worse than slaves. Their masters only had them for a certain period of time and then usually had to provide them with land at the end of their term. As a result they were usually treated worse than slaves as the slaves were property (an investment). At least that's how things started out.

I read somewhere the majority of Americans can trace their heritage back to European rolyalty if they just went back far enough.

Its good to see complete horse shit stories like this. Maybe if it goes viral enough normal people will see this and realize how fucking stupid these obama groupies are. Sounds like more racism and affirmative action crap to me.

 

[firefree]

That race baiting bastard will say or do anything to steal this election. IMHO

And yet, they still can't produce a real birth certificate.....

 

[Mexican_Hippie]

I knew he was related to Bush.

Couple of spend-a-holics.

Name a single president, Democrat or Republican, that spent more money than Bush - besides Obama.

Yeah, thought so, because there isn't one.
