"And it is a true measure of progress that the descendant of a slave owner would come to marry a student from Kenya"

Slave guilt offset marriage?

Blacks in the USA did own slaves. "Blacks" (Zulu's) owned slaves in Africa and sold them to traders that brought them here.

While the black community tries to imply whites invented slavery at the forming of this nation, slavery dates back to the beginnings of man. Only USA and Britain (majority white) have actually owtlawed the practice hundreds of years ago. As a point slavery is done legally today in Africa as blacke own blacks.

Hillary Clinton camp in full attack.

So now let us see and hear Osama Obama stand up in front of the NAACP and crow about "victims of slavery"....hehehe.

[JoeGar]

Should Obama apologize? Should he pay reparations to himself?

[Uncle Miltie]

Did his mother's slave owning forebearers own his father's ancestors?

If so, he'd owe himself reparations!

Inquiring minds want to know.....

[L98Fiero]

For the record, I suspect lots of black people are.

It's crap like this that keeps a lot of good people from entering politics! What on earth difference does it make what your ancestors did through the ages? Everyone has the odd character in their geneaology.

Obama Hussein is not responsible for what his ancestors did. He is responsible for what he says and does.

"While a relative owned slaves, another fought for the Union in the Civil War,"

"And that is why I will only pay half of the reparations money you whiteys have to pay..."

Obama is all things to all people.

[Young Werther]

Si he should look in the mirror and say:

Font Color="white">I'm sorry!"

As a genealogist myself, I did some tracking, and also looked at Mr. Reitweisner's work. The tree appears solid. The Mareen Duvall book is very well known in genealogical circles and if St Barack had Duvall ancestors, he has slaveowner ancestors.

[xrp]

Does this mean he has to pay reparations to himself or to Al Sharpton/Jesse Jackson?

[FixitGuy]

Slavery happened, the Crusades happened, the Inquisition happened. Time to stop whining and move on and cure the evil that Mohammad left.

[Reaganesque]

...great-great-great-great-grandfathers...great-great-great-great-great-grandmothers...

First Romney is held to account for his great-great-great grandfather's actions now Obama is being held to account for this. I think both stories have Clinton fingerprints all over them. And this from the couple who believe that they can't be held responsible for what they did 10 seconds ago. They are a contaminant to the body politic of this country.

[BnBlFlag]

Well, there goes Obama's share of the reparations!

[Chi-townChief]

Man, he must owe some serious reparations!

[carola]

Mr. Reitweisner's genealogies are fun to browse (www.wargs.com). Obama is a cousin to Christopher Reeve, Brad Pitt, Howard Dean, Brit Hume, Katharine Hepburn, Harry Truman, VP Cheney, Senator Robert Byrd, John Hinckley, both Presidents Bush, Jon Benet Ramsey and Georgia O'Keefe, among many others.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

It's meaningless, but it's fair game cuz the media are jumping up and down over the Romney Mormon thing.

[TKDietz]

So what? Who the heck cares what someone's great-great-great-great grandparents did. This is too ridiculous to even comment on.
