Five Former Black American Presidents
Yesterday, I came across a very interesting book review of Black People and their Place in the World by Dr. Leroy Vaughn. The review was written by J. Nayer Hardin.
Dr. Vaugh is an MD, MBA and Historian. He claims that at least 5 of our American Presidents have African heritage in their lineage. Hold onto your hats, because he has the evidence to back up his genealogical claims, which is further based on the research of Joel A. Rogers and Dr. Auset Bakhufu.
First of all, Thomas Jefferson’s own mother, Jane Randolph Jefferson was a half-breed Indian and his father was a mulatto. there was a famous book written about Jefferson called “The Johnny Cake Papers,” by Thomas Hazard in 1869. Of course, it is also well known that Thomas Jefferson had several children with a slave, Sally Hemmings. Apparently, after his mother’s death in 1776, Jefferson tried to erase all evidence of his mother.
William Chancellor wrote a book on the genealogy of Warren Harding and claimed he had African ancestors. Apparently the Department of Justice bought up all copies of the book and destroyed them. Warren Harding’s credentials are from Iberia college, which was originally founded to educate fugitive slaves.
Then there is a famous example of Andrew Jackson, whose own brother was sold into slavery, according to David Coyles’ book “Ordeals of the Presidency.” According to the story, after Andrew Jackson Sr. died, Mrs Jackson went to the Crawford ranch were she conceived Andrew by a slaveman.
Calvin Coolidge’s mother’s maiden name was Moor. According to the traditions of the times, this name was given to people of African origins.
Last, but not least, is Abraham Lincoln, whose own father was reportedly sterile from childhood mumps, according to William Herndon, Lincoln’s law partner. Lincoln’s mother was reportedly from an Ethiopian tribe and his father was African. During the elections, his opponents called him “Abraham Africanus the First.” He reportedly had dark skin and coarse hair.
So, when Americans think that they have broken a barrier in casting a vote for Barack Obama, they need to think again. The barrier has already been broken and rather than voting on the basis of color, they need to focus on his judgment, character, past associations and lack of experience.
In this weeks Newsweek, Obambi is being compared to Abraham Lincoln. However, according to the Gateway Pundit Lincoln was a Republican, wouldn’t call for a surrender in war and didn’t have terrorists, socialists and radicals as friends. However, there may be some unconscious comparison as both were bi-racial.
