Is Barrack really black? Is he black enough? LOL Now we find his ancestors owned slaves.... LOL Who really cares. I certainly don't......We just found out Mitt Romney's grandad had 6 wives... who cares.....I don't. What these men have done with their lives is more important to me. The fact that Barrack hasn't done a whole lot is much more important than what his ancestors did. I just think this whole thing is ridiculous.

I think there were two, both field hands. My grant uncle was also an overseers in the early 20th century on Stella Plantation, when things weren't much better than in the previous century. What this has to do with anything is beyond me, unless somebody comes looking for reperations. What's shocking to me is the number of people in this country who are not descended from apes, but apparently migrated here from some lush garden at the edge of the big flat disk, and where on a clear day you could lean over and see the giant turtle holding up the world. It may not be sensative to worry about these people, but I don't know if I want somone in charge of the FAA who believes that airplanes are held in the air by the grace of God.
