Black Presidents of the USA?

Question

Please read fully before you reply.
At least five former presidents of the United States had Black people among their ancestors. If one considers the fact that European men far outnumbered European women during the founding of this country, and that the rape and impregnation of an African female slave was not considered a crime, it is even more surprising that more former presidents could not be documented with having Black ancestors. The president’s names include Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Warren Harding, and Calvin Coolidge.
The best case for Black ancestry is against Warren G. Harding, our 29th president from 1921 until 1923. Harding himself never denied his ancestry. Black ancestors were identified among both parents of President Harding. Harding's only academic credentials included education at Iberia College, which was founded in order to educate fugitive slaves.
More to come. I just think that it should be recognised in our childrens history books

Answer 1

Thank you for educating us. I've been to our First President George Washington's Mount Vernon home a few times. Your right, the history books do not tell you everything. I explored the slave quarters, etc. -- a shameful part of America's history. There are PBS documentaries ongoing (past and present).

Answer 2

You said it yourself when you called Warren G. Harding "the best case". While there is some evidence to support the hypothesis that the men you speak of had black ancestry, there's nowhere near enough evidence to prove it to reasonable standards (with the possible exception of Harding). If conjecture like this belongs in a history book at all, it's only as a footnote.

Answer 3

Now I remember this! I believe this is true but it will never be put into American history books because of the racist views of people in power. What a shame though.

And many people that could pass for anything other than Black would typically never mention they have an ounce of Black blood.

Answer 4

Then rewrite the history books if you want it in there so badly.

I'd support you (-=

Answer 5

The history books will be rewritten when blacks get off of their azzes and vote.
