what u.s.a. president had black blood in him

[steve @ home]

given that homo sapiens evolved in africa i suppose the answer is 'all of them'!

Chester A Arthur

[Cetti]

There appears to have been five presidents with black ancestry, but only Thomas Jefferson's link has been established via DNA - his father being half black.

[dotjhawkes]

Well my answer was well researched, Chester A Arthur built a school in harlem for the african americans. I know that cos it was in Die Hard With A Veston

[Cetti]

I think it's a case of take your pick dennish, as this site names the five believed to have black ancestry - check out the names. With dot's name you now have six!http://www.bigissueground.com/history/blair-blackuspresidents.shtml

[lepers]

now why did i think u meant literal black blood? that would have been interesting too!

[jno]

Cetti it's interesting if bewildering that the contributors to that link think there were black presidents before Washington, who was after all the first president (as I thought all Americans knew). Makes me wonder if their expertise on the subject amounts to much. Intriguing, though.

[Cetti]

Yes I agree jno. Some sites even have George W and Ronnie Reagan included....the mind boggles!
