Most people are surprised to learn that the United States of America has had Presidents
and a Vice President of African Descent. From the 17th century through the mid 19th
century, the names of five presidents had been loudly proclaimed by Caucasians of those
times as being of African ancestry.
The information expressed on this topic was obtained from the writings of
author J.A. Rogers. He was one of the most renowned writers on the topic of
race mixing in the 20th century and around the world. He has written numerous books
on this topic. From Superman to Man, Sex and Race, World's Greatest Men of Color,
Nature Knows No Color Line, Five Negro Presidents, Africa's Gift to America, 100 Amazing
Fact About The Negro With Complete Proof, etc.
Bear in mind that regardless of what variation of skin hues found among people of
African descent, what denotes African ancestry is the possession of 1/16 part African
blood. Which if you took your self, the genetic origin of a single
African gene originated 4 - 5 generations ago. Meaning you can appear to be
Caucasian but still bear children of color.
THOMAS JEFFERSON - He was the son of a half breed Indian squaw and a
Virginia Mulatto (half African-half Caucasian) father. In a published paper of
that time, "The Johnny-Cake Papers," he was called "A NIGGER."
He also fathered mulatto daughters.
ANDREW JACKSON - He was born on a farm in Carolina. His father
was a slave on that farm. His oldest brother was sold as a slave in Carolina.
His mother was Irish.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN - He was said to have been the illegitimate son of a
Negro by a Caucasian women named Nancy Hanks. In his campaign for the presidency, he
was often referred to as a Negro and depicted as a Negro. He was called Abram
Africanus the first. What gave strength to this statement was that his hair
was more Negroid (wool like) that Caucasian (straight). So was his skin color.
Of his father he said, "His face was round, his complexion swarthy
(dark), hair, black and course, eyes brown. He described himself as having a
dark complexion with course black hair and dark eyes. W.H. Herndon, his
closest friend and law partner said he had "very dark skin."
WARREN G. HARDING - Shortly before the 1920 election, Americans were
amazed to read in the papers that Mr. Harding was a Negro. His father was George
Tryon Harding, an obvious mulatto. His mother was Phobe Dickerson, a Caucasian
Midwife. Extreme measures were taken by the U.S. Government to suppress this
information during that time. His sister was employed in a Negro public school
in Washington D.C. She also lived within the Negro community in Washington
D.C.
The fifth president was not named in his publication.
General Colin Powell at the height of his popularity in the 1980's, during the
Gulf War Campaign, stated that when history tells his story he probably wont be remembered
as an African American. He will be remembered for what he did, not for who he was.
And so goes the history of the United States. How many people of influence
did we read about in our history classes that were of African descent and we didn't know
it then or now.
OTHER HISTORICAL FIGURES OF AFRICAN DESCENT
HANNIBAL HAMLIN - He was Vice President to Abraham Lincoln.
While a U.S. Senator from Maine, he was often verbally attacked from the
floor because of his dark skin. So according to this information the United States
has had a sitting President and Vice President of African Descent at the same time.
But because when history is recorded, and recorded primarily by Caucasians,
color is never mentioned, so it is assumed that people of that stature are always
Caucasian.
ALEXANDER HAMILTON -
New York delegate
to the Constitutional Convention (1787), major author of the Federalist papers, and
first secretary of the Treasury
of the United States (1789-95), who was the foremost champion of a strong central government for the new United States.
His ancestry has long been disputed. He was born on
the Island of Nevis in the West Indies. Native Virgin Islander's have insisted that
he was colored. His brother, James (same mother, same father) also migrated to the
United States where he was treated as a Negro because of his dark color and
hair. He fathered two dark skinned sons.
ALEXANDER PUSHKIN - Russia's greatest poet, was a direct descendant
from Abram P. Hannibal, an unmixed Sudanese African. Hannibal had been adopted
by Peter the Great of Russia. Hannibal's descendants married into German,
Russian, Dutch and other royal families. It was stated during that time that a
coal black baby might yet be born in the English royal family.
WINSTON CHURCHILL - His grandmother was of African descent. She
was considered 1/4th Negro.
DAVID MICHAEL - Marquis of Milford Haven, cousin to the Queen of
England and a direct descendant of Queen Victoria. He had black blood. His
mother was the daughter of the Grand Duke Michael of Russia.
