John Hanson- The nation's 1st *black* President

A forgotten name- John Hanson.

The first president of the United States under the Articles of Confederations. Have you ever heard of the various conspiracy theories that he was, in fact, black?

Take a look: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1213738470863255924#

 

I don't normally believe people with speech impediments.

On a serious note, this video is fueled with CNN fueled ignorance. I got to 5 minutes, didn't hear anything on the topic at hand, so I shut it off because I didn't want to hear the retard who can't pronounce 'r' talk anymore.

 

I'm not referring to just the video. The video was to provide a small amount of insight on the topic but not to present the entirety of the matter.

 

Black is the skin color. Not the traits. So no, he was not the first black president >.>.

 

What do you mean by the traits? He was rumored to have a parent(s) that were African American.

 

K, but he, himself, is not black. You may have black traits, but are not black yourself.

 

Pretty cool stuff, thanks for sharing. He could be african, but not black.

 

Even if he was, I think most Americans consider presidents to start at George Washington, not those officials who presided over congress under the Articles of Confederation.

 

I would be more impressed if it would have happened back in those times than nowadays.

 

Are you dumb? Just because their skin colour isn't 'black' doesn't mean they are not African. You don't necessarily have to have black skin to be African. I'm not saying he is African, which is most likely crap, but you get the point.

 

i know right? the quality is poor was it for a school project or something

 

..South African, then?

 

Under our current government, George Washington was the first president, not George Washington.

 

South African was not controlled by Britain at that time. I think.

How the fuck am I dumb? Being black is a skin color. You can be African, *Woohoo, no one gives a fuck* and not be black. But being black, is all that matters. Because racists, based their hatred, on skin color. Mainly.
