Jesse Jackson Just Said Teresa Heinz-Kerry is an African-American
Fox News ^

Posted on 07/27/2004 2:13:55 PM PDT by Recovering_Democrat

On "The Big Story" with John Gibson, just now, Jesse Jackson was being interviewed by John. When asked his opinion of Heinz-Kerry, he said that she is a "free spirit". She was born in Mozambique, he observed, and is now an American citizen. Jesse Jackson then opined that this makes Teresa an African American.

I s'pose now anything considered an "attack" on Teresa will now be labeled racist.

She was born in Mozambique,

This may arguably make Terasa the only authentic African American in the Democratic Party...

Some African-born white kid in a high school tried to make this argument, wanting to join an African American social club on campus. The school administration was not amused and a suspension ensued. Where's the ACLU when you need them?

Got it.

She's a white Mozambiquian though, correct?

Yes, she has a better claim to Africa than people who are descended from people who taken off the continent hundreds of years ago.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

If she were a citizen of Mozambique, became naturalized in the US, that sure does make her an African-American, if anybody wants to hyphenate her. My son-in-law was born and raised in Zimbawe, and as soon as the paper work comes through, he will be an African-American. The fact that his grandparents emigrated from Scotland to Africa does not make him a Scottish-American--he and his parents were born and raised in Africa.

You mean that most people sold into slavery by their families, friends, and neighboring villages. They weren't kidnapped by "whitey", they were beaten in war, and sold by their fellow "black men". Frankly, if ANYONE should be sued for restitution, isn't it the people still in Africa? I mean, they're the ones who sold black American's into slavery...

Granted, she's from Africa. But wouldn't that make her a "white colonialist"?

20$ says that within two weeks she's seen at a photo op in traditional African garb.
