IS JOHN MCCAIN A BLACK MAN? 10/20 - In this bizarre "Fox-like" story CNN covers the Wall Street Journal's story about the descendants of John McCain's ancestor's slaves. Lillie McCain speaks as well as the writer of the story Douglas Blackmon. They also agree that there's a good chance Senator John McCain has some black blood in him since it was common for the owners and slaves to have sexual relations...

Normally, the story of John McCain's black family -- the ones who are planning to vote for Barack Obama -- might elicit some modest interest in terms of what it says about the complexity of race relations in America.

But what's been even more interesting has been how John McCain has responded to the story ever since it surfaced.

Initially, back when he first was doing the "Maverick" schtick in the 2000 primaries, he actually denied that the aristocratic Southerners from whom he was descended were slaveholders. But it really became impossible for McCain to deny their existence after a 2000 report in Salon in the course of which reporters showed him photographs and birth records in person and he had to concede to their existence.

One account, In the South Florida Times, describes how McCain has handled the connection publicly and privately:

White and black members of the McCain family have met on the plantation several times over the last 15 years, but one invited guest has been conspicuously absent: Sen. John Sidney McCain.

Why he hasnt come is anybodys guess, said Charles McCain Jr., 60, a distant cousin of John McCain who is black. I think the best I can come up with, is that he doesnt have time, or he has just distanced himself, or it doesnt mean that much to him.

Other relatives are not as generous.

Lillie McCain, 56, another distant cousin of John McCain who is black, said the Republican presidential nominee is trying to hide his past, and refuses to accept the familys history.

After hearing him in 2000 claim his family never owned slaves, I sent him an email, she recalled. I told him no matter how much he denies it, it will not make it untrue, and he should accept this and embrace it.

She said the senator never responded to her email.

How relavent is this really. How many black americans are currently slaves? How many former slaves or owners are even alive. Was slavery wrong? DAMN RIGHT IT WAS WRONG. But if we dont learn from our past and stop regurgitateing it, how can we ever come together as a country.

PS to all you idiots at CNN. Fuck you and quit trying to divide our country worse than it already is. Try to be part of the solution and not the damn problem.

What political bs. CNN has totally lost their creditability with this crap. Just about any family thats been in america for 150 years or more had something to do with slavery. As if Sen. McCain has even met any of his ancestors that owned slaves, what relevance does this have on his character, except to inflame the black vote. People have enough personal issues that they have to overcome without blaming stuff their ancestors have done.

so my mc Cain was a nigger !! I knew it !!1

[MrBenjammin07]

you know what, it was bad his family owned slaves, but so what, that doesn't mean mccain wants it or that he's a bad person. Am i a bad person because my grandpa's extremely racist (he voted for Wallace in 68 and won't even watch tv with black people on it). No, i doubt mccain hates blacks because he used to own them. However i will agree that dumb rednecks who say slavery was okay are stupid, but we should move on, who cares if someone's black or white or this crap. I care more about the person

@filmtress WTF!

THE FIRST THING SOLD ON THE STOCK MARKET WAS WHAT SLAVES

[BobbieandSteveDooley]

Oh I completely understand, I'm a history teacher my dear!

You get screwed over every time you pay your taxes and it will never end till you die or till the world explodes!

If the blacks came here voluntarily you would never hear a word from them but since it was under force it's all our fault!

I'm amazed that so many dumb rednecks have a internet connection, everyone says that the "blacks" are the problem in this country,I'm white and Ive been screwed over by way more white people, and so has everyone else. But yet 1 black man does you wrong and the whole race pays for it.

[novaclub25]

@BobbieandSteveDooley Your complaining about taxes, and how inconveniant this all is to you. I'd like to see how much you complain if you had your freedom taken away for generations, even your children are considered nothing more than farm equipment. Then maybe you would understand why this is such a big deal.

[BobbieandSteveDooley]

What is THE most devastating event EVER in American history?

SLAVERY.....

WHY, because slave trader's forced black's here to America and even their own tribal leaders sold them off to the slave trader's for profit.

America will NEVER, EVER live down slavery. It costs American taxpayers billions & billions of dollars every year and it will NEVER, EVER end!

Just imagine America WITHOUT black's, wouldn't it be just wonderful!
