Yes that was said on his part. But he was a politician. Do we really know the intent of his words in speaking that way during a time when America was filled with concentration camps and extrajudicial executions? The atmosphere back then was paranoia. Many people passed for white, and might have pretended to be racist, when in fact neither representation on their part was true. Many people were part Indian, like Elvis Presley, who was a half breed.

Take a look at this photo...

Jacob Lincoln

The man above was Abraham Lincoln's 1st cousin. Does that look like a white man? I am not so sure it does.

Look at this one...

The President's Brother, Wesley Enlow

The photo above is of President Lincoln's brother. Does that look like a white man? Not to me it doesn't.

So I don't read too much into the President's racist comments. The main point was that he freed the slaves.

Is Barack Obama the first Black President? I am not so sure about that either.

They both look white to me.
