There was more white blood in him that ONE Irish grandfather.
I visited Kenya some years ago. Africans are EBONY, like BLACK as the proverbial ace of spades. Clay had WAY MORE white than one granddaddy.
African-Americans in Africa look WHITE. I saw a couple there. Haha, they were confused at their treatment. They got treated like whites because they dressed, acted and LOOKED "white." They probably had an Irish granddaddy too. Harhar...and a whole lot more Eurorelatives!!
Sure. It is my belief that many, if not most male slave owners spent time in the slave cabins as occupation and recreation, if not avocation, because it ‘improved the stock’. Lee family slaves, Davis family slaves were not unusual, but rather the usual: decendents of slave mothers and slave owner fathers.
