weaktwosA researcher claims that Obama's Ancestors may have owned slaves.
Doesn't that make him even more qualified to be president? After all, some of our Founding Fathers owned slaves.
All kidding aside, though. Given the practices of certain slave owners, aren't some "authentically black" Americans related to people who owned slaves?
I mean, can you control who your great great grandfather was? Jesus, Mary and Joseph, people. Should it matter where you come from in America? I thought it mattered what you do and where you're going, here.

Which is absurd, since Obama's father is from AFRICA! He has a closer tie to Africa then the so-called true-black community...
Seems that people will go after you on whatever they want to if they're going to go after you no matter how hypocritical it makes them.
