Africa?

I believe she was born in Mozambique, the daughter of a wealthy Portuguese doctor - back in the days when that was a Portuguese colony. The family had enough money to send her off to private schools in Europe. She was in Switzerland at the time she met John Heinz.

There was a big flap a few weeks ago when she insisted that she be referred to in the press as an "African-American". A large number of prominent A-A's loudly objected! Heh heh.

So I suppose she wants to be our first black first lady. LOL.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Portuguese rulers of Mozambique operate the country under a system much like South African Apartheid? If so, where's the outcry over a privileged (and clearly spoiled) child of the twentieth century cousin to American slavery sitting one election away from the White House?
