Obama’s white mother may be descendant of a black slave

Ancestry.com say they have evidence that “strongly suggests” Obama's mother is descended from a very early American slave. I'm skeptical, but not really up on how certain one can be on these things.
Freepers react to this complexity with their usual hilariously offensive attempts at racial analysis.

Bob is reminded that he read on the Internets that Obama's dad's ancestors totally had slaves.

I have to wonder — Did his father’s ancestor capture the slave that his mother’s ancestor bought? :=)

donmeaker takes the above anti-Obama jab seriously, and analyzes the odds:

Unlikely, since Kenya is east africa and most slaves came from Ghana-Nigeria-Senegal-Gambia West Africa.

Unless you hold with the Frank Marshall Davis is his father idea, in which case it becomes possible.

Sacajaweau totally knows genetics....and..... ellipsis......

Here’s the problem.....Black is dominant....Mulatto at best....but I doubt it....Ancestry.com has millions of errors based on plain old guessing.

edge919 is still into the one drop rule of days gone by:

Using the one drop rule, Obama’s mama’s race should have been coded as Negro on his long-from birth certificate. Now Obama can really claim some street cred with the African-American community.

alice_in_bubbaland doesn't really wonder much about Obama, methinks:

I really could care less. I just want to know why he’s a Muslim and a friggin Communist.

JohnD9207 is enraged at anything that won't hurt Obama's reelection chances, and this trivia is no different:

I don't understand what this has to do with anything. Lets say that mitts 11th great grandmother was black...would that suddenly shift 50% of the black vote to him? I see crap like this as more crud to talk about rather than his economic policies, close association with liberation theology, communist, Marxist, domestic terrorist ties. Socialist and Communist members of his administration should be a topic of conversation, but is ignored by most.

1_Rain_Drop is still clinging to the "Obama's past is a mystery" bit, despite no non-Freepers caring.

Amazing!

We have info on the first documented African Slave, yet all documents are missing on the first African pres0dent.
