So does this mean the illegitimate black child was right all along?

ohhhhhhhhhhh snap!

Now, this is what a Fark headline should be: deadpan, subtle, and forcing everyone to click the link out of sheer curiosity. And a decent payoff, too. +1

Anyone else wonder how much intermingling happened way back when?

McCain in 2000: "Personally, I see the battle flag as a symbol of heritage. I have ancestors who have fought for the Confederacy, none of whom owned slaves. I believe they fought honorably."

McCain in 2000 (a bit later) "I knew we fought in the Civil War, but no, I had no idea. I guess thinking about it, I guess when you really think about it logically, it shouldn't be a surprise. They had a plantation and they fought in the Civil War so I guess that it makes sense. . . When you think about it, they owned a plantation, why didn't I think about that before?"

I understand why John McCain must feel frustrated: he knows he's a better man, a better politician and a better American than the current president.
What John McCain fails to understand is that he's still just a turd.

Before anyone calls this a waffle, I suggest they attempt a little genealogy work on any family in (from) the South. It's always difficult because the records are so fragmentary. And the pass-me-down word-of-mouth stories? Usually 'highly edited'.

FTFA - "Each family has evolved to the point to see in each other positive things. And if we live as brothers and sisters, that's positive," said Lillie McCain, 56, a psychology professor at Mott Community College.

That's pretty cool.

FTFA: "Our grandfather was able to purchase land that his grandfather had worked as a slave," Joyce McCain explained. "He instilled in us to never sell the land. The ownership is still there."

Looks like there's a little more there there. Land records and all.

Maybe McCain should have run for President four years ago.

This link under "more local news headlines" made me a little nervous:

Congo rebels take camp as civilians flee fighting

Just when it looks like Detroit is making some headway, here comes some farkers from another continent to knock their dicks in the dirt again.

I dont know about you guys, but the best part was the comments at the end

FTA:
I am astounded that a Detroit city Newspaper would stoop so low as to run a cover story saying that the Republican presidential nominee and his family were slave owners. This does nothing to unite the country and serves only to fuel hatred and racism. There is only one appropriate response to this story: I urge everyone who subscribes to the Detroit Free Press to cancel their subscriptions. As responsible citizens, we can no longer support this kind of hate mongering and blind partisanship from a once great newspaper.

HOW DARE THE PRESS RECOGNIZE THAT PEOPLE LONG AGO OWNED SLAVES! DONT YOU KNOW WE HAVE TO PRETEND LIKE THINGS BEFORE 1988 NEVER HAPPENED?

This is bad news...for Alabama

Wait...so did McCain's great-great-gandfather pull a Jefferson with his slaves?

Shneebly is a troll, probably from the McCain camp. I've never seen that name on Freep.com before and that's the only comment listed under that name. And he's getting rightly routed for such a stupid comment.

McCain abandoned Michigan and Palin contridicts him on it, and Obama has a 22% lead in the polls. Idiots like Shneebly are just wasting their breath keyboard strokes posting at this point.

Kind of a cool story about a pair of families adopting each other over a long period, and the headline was kinda vaguely clever, but this is the most irrelevant to anything story I've ever read. Ever. And I'm on here enough that someone randomly sponsored my TFness.

FarKnight: Wait...so did McCain's great-great-gandfather pull a Jefferson with his slaves?

Were there any who didn't? Seriously, I'm always puzzled by white American puzzlement that slaves were taken advantage of sexually, male and female -- and child.

If you've ever seen a real African next to an African American, you'd understand that most Black people in the United States are at least part white, thanks to slavery and the attention slave women got from their white slave-masters. Why else do you think people were so determined to keep slavery around? For the cotton-picking and cooking? Nope. It was ALWAYS about sex. Why pay a prostitute when you can purchase a whole stable of concubines who will ALSO do some labor around the plantation? Even better, these slaves will have children, who will grow up and be just as "useful" as their mothers were to the master.

Slavery was not about cheap labor or the southern economy. It was about getting some black p*ssy whenever you wanted it, without all that guilt and shame that comes from soliciting unmarried white girls. It was always about sex. The labor was just a bonus.

So yes, most African Americans are lighter skinned, and have completely different features than their true-blooded ancestors. That's par for the course in America - - We're all mutts here.

/Welsh-Cheyenne American, myself.

ZeroCorpse: Slavery was not about cheap labor or the southern economy. It was about getting some black p*ssy whenever you wanted it, without all that guilt and shame that comes from soliciting unmarried white girls.

And I would also like to point out that once you go Black, you never go back. I'd imagine slave owners found their lily-white, boring wives completely uninteresting after shagging an African. Black girls are just plain addictive, because they're so damn sexy and strong. There's a reason Jefferson fell in love with his slave.

i think this story is hilarious....whats the difference we're all connected to each other in the big gene pool...

I thought this comment was hilarious, but for different reasons.

I was just pointing out the silliness of using the commonly tossed out caveat of "Sure, my family fought for the Confederacy, but it's okay, because they weren't slaveowners," without actually checking first. Even back in 2000, McCain's mavrickness was compromised by his need to appeal to the redneck base of the G.O.P.
