First Black American President

Should have picked a different video. I'll look for other sources, but I'm pretty sure the information is accurate. As far as Illuminati, I don't know if that is real or urban legend.

They ARE mentioned in the history books but not as Presidents of the country now called the U.S. - because they weren't.

Actually, I did read the post.

And, if you researched the claims before simply repeating them, you'd know they are bullshit. In fact, you would know they were/are perpetuated by historical revisionists with an anti-white racist agenda and have little basis in reality. The principal proponent of the "previous black U.S. Presidents" rumour bases her theory on the idea that, because there were more European men than women in the U.S. in the past, they MUST have raped black women. (So, not only does she base her idea on an anti-white ideology... but throws in her "all men are rapists at heart" ideas too).

Even a cursory analysis of the claims shows how silly they are. Harding is cited as the "best case" but that claim is based on rumours circulated by Democratic opponents in the heart of Ku Klux Klan territory at a time when the KKK was at the height of it's power. (In a place controlled by an anti-black organisation, you can damage your opponent by claiming he is partly black.)

Another example is Coolidge: Those who circulate these stories say his mother's surname was "Moor" and the name "Moor" was given to all Black people in Europe just as the name Negro was used in America. That one made me snigger a bit: "Moor" is a surname that originated in Ireland, and, in some derivations, in Scotland and, to a lesser extent, England. It found it's way to the U.S. in the mass emigration of Irish, Scottish, and English people to there over the last few centuries.

Black people in Europe are NOT and have never been called "Moors" - they were/are called... wait for it... black people!

Historically, muslim Berbers and Arabs who occupied Spain and Portugal centuries ago were called Moors. Moroccans living in modern-day Spain are sometimes called Moors.

Equating the surname "Moor" with the Moors in Spain is idiotic.

If Barrack Obama wins the forthcoming U.S. election, fair play to him. I'm sure he'll do a great job. But he most definitely will NOT be the 6th black President. He'll be the first (if, again, you ignore the fact that his mother was white).

Tommy.
