"According to the ancestry.com genealogists, Reverend Sharpton's great-grandfather Coleman Sharpton was freed and went on to organize an uprising with a number of other slaves, including one Jeremiah Obama.

"Well, now I'm more excited than when I found out my old babysitter might have been related to George Washington's neice's hairdresser," Smith recalled. "We reverse-historied the family lines forward to the present day, and sure enough: presidential candidate Barak Obama's great, great uncle was once owned by presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton's great, great, great second cousin."

I would think Fox News and Coulter could really run with this information; don't you think?

They just need to be reminded once in a while of how much they are both still hated by their right wing adversaries.
This is what we call "political perspective" in America.

I suppose anything is possible. After all, we are all related somehow. Obama and Hillary could become kissing cousins if one of them gets the nod and makes the other their running mate.

We all share the motichondrial gene, called the EVE gene, so we are all related. This has been extensively researched and DNA taken from all races and nationalities proves this to be true!

Erm, wasn't his dad straight from Africa? I thought that's what all the BS about he's not Black enough was about. He's not descended from slaves.

I heard on the radio a lot of black people complaining that Owg wham was not a real black man because he was half.
At an old workplace a lot of the black people had a belif the light skinned blacks were no good and could not be trusted.
A lot of them more prejudice than the whites.

Actually these stories at the links below came out long before the Al Sharpton Clinton story which I find much more interesting!
