Morgan Freeman: Obama's not America's first black president

[TalkRadio]

“They just conveniently forget that Barack had a mama, and she was white — very white, American, Kansas, middle of America,” Freeman said. “There was no argument about who he is or what he is. America’s first black president hasn’t arisen yet. He’s not America’s first black president — he’s America’s first mixed-race president.”

Since Obama's a mulatto claiming he's black, he's guilty of cultural appropriation.

Since Obama's a mulatto claiming he's black, he's guilty of cultural appropriation.

In reality this is nothing more than the liberals, and many conservatives as well, perpetuating of the "just one drop" pollution of the blood. The reality is that, at least in the US, very few can make the claim of 'purity.'

1. John Hanson (a Moor) was actually the 1st President of the United States, he served from 1781 – 1782 and he was black. The new country was actually formed on March 1, 1781 with the adoption of The Articles of Confederation. This document was actually proposed on June 11, 1776, but not agreed upon by Congress until November 15, 1777. Maryland refused to sign this document until Virginia and New York ceded their western lands (Maryland was afraid that these states would gain too much power in the new government from such large amounts of land).

Once the signing took place in 1781, a President was needed to run the country. John Hanson was chosen unanimously by Congress (which included George Washington). In fact, all the other potential candidates refused to run against him, as he was a major player in the revolution and an extremely influential member of Congress.

As President, Hanson ordered all foreign troops off American soil, as well as removal of all foreign flags. He established the Great Seal of the United States, which all Presidents since have been required to use on all Official Documents. He declared that the 4th Thursday of every November to be Thanksgiving Day, which is still true today. Even though elected, one variable that was never thought through was that America was not going to accept a Black President during the heart of the enslavement period. Enter George Washington.

2. Thomas Jefferson was the 3rd President of the United States, he served from 1801 – 1809 and he was black. His mother a half-breed Indian squaw and his father a mulatto (half white and half black) from Virginia. He fathered numerous children with Sally Hemmings, a mulatto slave with whom he lived with in Europe.

3. Andrew Jackson was the 7th President of the United States. He served from 1829 – 1837 and he was black. His mother was a white woman from Ireland who had Andrew Jackson with a black man. His father’s other children (Andrew Jackson’s stepbrother) was sold into slavery.

4. Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States, he served from 1861 – 1865 and he was black. His mother was from an Ethiopian Tribe and his father was an African American. It was told that his father was Thomas Lincoln, a man to cover the truth, but he was sterile from childhood mumps and was later castrated, making it impossible for him to have been his father. Lincoln’s nickname “Abraham Africa-nus the First.”

5. Warren Harding was the 28th President of the United States, he served from 1921 – 1923 and he was black. Harding never denied his ancestry. When Republican leaders called on Harding to deny his “Negro” history, he said, “How should I know whether or not one of my ancestors might have jumped the fence?”

6. Calvin Coolidge was the 29th President of the United States, he served from 1923 – 1929 and he was black. He proudly admitted that his mother was dark but claimed it was because of a mixed Indian ancestry. His mother’s maiden name was “Moor.” In Europe the name “Moor” was given to all Black people just as in America the name “Negro” was used.

7. Dwight E. Eisenhower was the 33rd President of the United States, he served from 1953 – 1961 and he was black. His mother, Ida Elizabeth Stover Eisenhower, an anti-war advocate, was half black.

There was a whole lot of hanky panky going on in the United States between blacks and whites.

A significant amount of "white" southerners have some ancestor(s) that "passed".

Barack is just the first "openly" black president.

The Constitution was ratified in 1788, Hanson died in 1782.

As long as you aren't feigning an orgasm all is good.

Hanson's past is murky and there are two others that can make the claim regarding the 'Confederation.' But the 'Confederation' was a failure which led to the formation of the United States. Neither Hanson, nor the others, can make a claim to being the first president of a nation that didn't exist at the time.

 

[Sean Renaud]

so does this make racists hate Obama less?

Course not, it's just supposed to detract even more from his legacy and any possible accomplishments of blacks.

 

[Hypoxia]

Forget black, white, red, all that. Who was the first cross-dressing president?

With all due respect to Morgan Freeman, Obama's black enough.

Sally Hemings—a quadroon—not a mulatto—was 3/4 white but the 1/4 black in her was enough for her to be Jefferson's sex toy. Her children from him, octoroons, could also be sold as slaves.

All black enough.




As for Thoma's Jefferson's blackness:

Jane Randolph Jefferson

Marriage and family
Randolph married Peter Jefferson, a surveyor and minor planter, at her father's plantation, Dungeness, in Virginia in 1739. Shortly afterwards they established a home near Charlottesville, which they named Shadwell, after her London birthplace. [6] Together, they had the following children:

Nothing about him or his parents being black.





As for Sally Hemings,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Hemings

she was thus three-quarters European and a half-sister of Martha Jefferson.

Your other claims sound equally bogus, rae121452. Where are the sources?




Why am I wasting my time in this fucking echo chamber?

 

[WoundedKnee]

Freeman has said a few "unusual" things in the past few years.
Maxine Waters will probably not tell him to shut up. Pity.
It would be good career advice.
For both of them.

 

[rae121452]

One-drop rule
The one-drop rule is a social and legal principle of racial classification that was historically prominent in the United States asserting that any person with even one ancestor of sub-Saharan-African ancestry is considered black, its implications of racial purity being that anyone unable to pass for white in the context of the US racial hierarchy is assigned the lower status of being non-white or colored.

 

[loquere]

If his pigmentation is dark enough to allow for the type of discrimination he suffered, then he can be universally considered black.

The Morgan Freeman comment is fake, no legitimate source reported it.

For once we agree since the source is an NPR interview and if it was reported in the media, it would be one of those buried stories. Mr. Freeman has done the proper amount of virtue signaling to not be embarrassed by his peers.
