"To be considered black in the United States not even half of one's ancestry must be African black. But will one-fourth do, or one-eighth, or less? The nation's answer to the question 'Who is black?" has long been that a black is any person with any known African black ancestry."

QUOTE(danishcookiez @ Apr 30 2005, 9:52 PM) my history teacher was always going on about how abraham lincoln and alex hamilton and a few other presidents were black  There are five presidents RUMORED to Black: Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abe Lincoln, Warren Harding, and possibly Eisenhower. There is a book written by a Black woman that argued for the rumor. If you're interested, do try to find it. However, it is ONLY A RUMOR and not a fact. Your teacher should have made that clear. |
