A new twist to an intriguing family history
baltimoresun.com
"WASHINGTON // Many people know that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's father was from Kenya and his mother from Kansas.
But an intriguing sliver of his family history has received almost no attention until now: It appears that forebears of his white mother owned slaves, according to genealogical research and census records."
Should this be something noteworthy? No.
Will it have an impact on his presidential run? Not as much as it would have if he were a Republican candidate.
Many on the left ... including black activists, Sharpton, Jackson, Farrakhan, et al ... who push reparations and generally find fault with America for being "white" ..... should .... in order to remain consistent... have a problem with this "supposed problem" ... but they won't.
This is fine by me, I guess. I just wish they would stop race baiting and playing the race card so we could become a "color blind" country. But then they would be out of busine$$.
