A 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.

I wonder if these people would be shocked to realise that even black people owned slave (granted a minority of those). Some bought back their family members and some just had the means to have slaves. Oi. How the hell is he supposed to rectify something that far in the past?

Now, if he had some indentured servants rumbling around his house, it's time for some explaining.
