Warren G. Harding was the FIRST black president of the United States. His great-grandmother was black as were many other direct relatives. Just thought I would let some in the United States of Amnesia be aware of this FACT.

Black woman details ties to Warren G. Harding
Tuesday, February 05, 2008
By Monica Haynes, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
While others may view the stories about Warren G. Harding's black ancestry as rumor, Marsha Stewart sees it as fact.
Mrs. Stewart, a 60-year-old black woman who teaches at a high school in suburban Detroit, is a fifth cousin to the 29th president, according to her family history.
"When I grew up in the '50s, my grandparents said it's OK to talk about it in the family setting but it's not OK to talk about it outside of the family settings," Mrs. Stewart said.
Her 2005 book, "Warren Harding U.S. President 29: Death By Blackness," details her family connection to Harding.
"He was my great-grandmother's first cousin," Mrs. Stewart said. Adding that her great-grandmother, Mary Harding Norman, and Warren Harding's father, George Tryon Harding, were first cousins.
She traces their common ancestors back to the black settlers of Isabella, Montcalm and Mecosta counties in central Michigan. Warren Harding's immediate family remained in Ohio, but other branches moved to Michigan, according to Mrs. Stewart, who said those are the Hardings from whom she is descended.
"My mother talks about Warren Harding coming to a cousin's funeral in Michigan," Mrs. Stewart said. "When he drove in everybody sort of knew who he was. He attended the funeral, and he left."
She said she has been contacted by Warren Harding's grandchildren and great-grandchildren several times. "They tell me they've heard rumors that they have black blood."
While Warren Harding never really denied he may have had black ancestors, he never declared himself black.
When asked why she believes her cousin never did so, Mrs. Stewart said, "Because we live in America. To be a true American, [you can't be] black even though we've been here for centuries. That's just the truth."

Reminds me of Congressman G. K. Butterfield who is an African-American and member of the Congressional Black Caucus.

I think it was proven that everyone has evolved from a black man. So aren't we all just a little black (except for Goodrum)

All of Harding`s advisers openly admitted, amongst their circle, the fact that his great-grandmother was indeed black. You can read their notes in the Library of Congress.

George Kenneth Butterfield, Jr. (born April 27, 1947) is a Democratic Party politician. He currently represents North Carolina's 1st congressional district (map) in the United States House of Representatives. The district is located in the northeastern corner of the state.
Early life and education
He has black ancestry and, despite his appearance, identifies himself as a black man and not white.[1] Butterfield grew up in a prominent black family in Wilson, North Carolina. Both of his parents had white ancestors.[1] Butterfield's father emigrated to the United States from Bermuda and practiced dentistry in Wilson for fifty years.[citation needed] His mother was a Wilson native[citation needed] and worked as a classroom teacher for 48 years.[2] Butterfield's father was elected to the Wilson City Council in 1953[citation needed] making him one of the the first black officials elected in eastern North Carolina in the 20th century.[2] He was defeated in 1957 following a change in election procedure.[citation needed]
Butterfield graduated Charles H. Darden High School, and later, North Carolina Central University (NCCU) with degrees in Political Science and Sociology.[2] In 1974, he received a Juris Doctor degree from the NCCU School of Law launching his legal career.[2] Butterfield served honorably in the United States Army from 1968 to 1970.[citation needed]

Oprah is the 1st and only US black President, and Obama is her Vice President. She commanded him to run, funded his campaign and contributed to his popularity. Obama pays Oprah back now by doing as she commands...
...I kid, I kid! :)
-
Wait, how is he "black" and why does his white ancestry get ignored? On a fractional basis, what fraction of racial ancestry makes you black?
You try to educate but lack an education.
-
I wish these people would start speaking the truth and identify themselves as mixed race. Besides the mexican immigrants, I'll bet one of the fastest growing groups of people are mixed race individuals...and they should be identified as such. We gotta get past this black/white BS.
-
Let's everybody start mixing with everybody else until we're all the same color. :)

Didn't he also boink an underage girl in the White House? That may have been Chester Arthur (hence the use of the moniker "Chester" for pervs).
