Obama Related To First US Slave (Yeah.. Right..)

Threw his White Mother no less...

Ancestry website: Obama's mother descended from first US slave - U.S. News


Im sure there was hundreds of "First Slave" in the US..

Haha isn't his mom the white one? They never keep the story straight.

It's a confusing article because Obama's Y-DNA was not involved in this at all, since Y-DNA is only carried by males. The only Y-DNA that can be used is from males who are descended from a straight male-line from this person, so that is what they used to determine the African genetics.

Obama is a 9th cousin to me through his mother's side, but not through the line that goes back to "Punch" - it's through a 17th centry person named Suzanna Hinckley, and both Obama & I are also cousins to the G.W. Bush family, with G.W. Bush being approximately an 11th cousin to each of us through the Suzannah Hinckley line. Through various branches, Bush is related to millions of Americans with Colonial New England ancestry. I have at least one other line that connects Bush to me as a distant cousin, which is John Howland, an indentured servant who came over on the Mayflower.

You spelled the last word wrong, which is not a surprise. Next time, don't try to impress the crowd, use the nine letter word that begins with "B", and ends in "t", that you're more familiar with.

Not long ago a young girl discovered that ALL of the presidents, except one, are related - albeit distantly.

Obama Related To Pitt, Clinton to Jolie
Researchers find remarkable family connections for the candidates
3/26/2008
Associated Press

Boston - This could make for one odd family reunion: Barack Obama is a distant cousin of actor Brad Pitt, and Hillary Rodham Clinton is related to Pitt's girlfriend, Angelina Jolie.

Researchers at the New England Historic Genealogical Society found some remarkable family connections for the three presidential candidates — Democratic rivals Obama and Clinton, and Republican John McCain.

Clinton, who is of French-Canadian descent on her mother's side, is also a distant cousin of singers Madonna, Celine Dion and Alanis Morissette. Obama, the son of a white woman from Kansas and a black man from Kenya, can call six U.S. presidents, including George W. Bush, his cousins. McCain is a sixth cousin of first lady Laura Bush.

Genealogist Christopher Child said that while the candidates often focus on pointing out differences between them, their ancestry shows they are more alike than they think.
"It shows that lots of different people can be related, people you wouldn't necessarily expect," Child said.

Obama has a prolific presidential lineage that features Democrats and Republicans. His distant cousins include President George W. Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush, Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson, Harry S. Truman and James Madison. Other Obama cousins include Vice President Dick Cheney, British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill and Civil War General Robert E. Lee.

"His kinships are across the political spectrum," Child said

Obama and President Bush are 10th cousins, once removed, linked by Samuel Hinkley of Cape Cod, who died in 1662.

Pitt and Obama are ninth cousins, linked by Edwin Hickman, who died in Virginia in 1769.

Are All But One US Presidents Related?

Conspiracy theories belong in Pandoras box, Garrison.

You are right, that particular article did suggest that the presidential family bloodlines and relationships were rather ominous. So, I changed the link to something softer, which has the same info without the woo woo.

I'm curious what this word is. At first I thought "bullshit", but that's 8 letters.

Ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! Snap!

Yeah, I added a extra symbol, a question mark, in my mind due to wondering why people are so skeptical of the report that Obama's mother was a descendant of Punch, the first Black slave in America.

A symbol is not a letter.


Keep failing troll.

This whole thread is bullshit, because there is convincing evidence of Obama being a descendant of John Punch, and those who dispute it have no way to disprove it.

Oh, you mean, sorta like the belief in a deity that created the universe?
