Since the election, I've been hearing rumors that Obama is only the first black president by SKIN color, not on technicality. They say that back in the old days, if you had 4% "black blood" then you were considered black...no matter what color your skin looked. If that's true then, that would make Abe Lincoln "black" because he had 8% "black blood". Even if he's not technically considered black, please direct me to some sites that could tell me a little bit about his bloodline.

Thanx!!!
 
Abraham Lincoln is half black. His mom had an affair with a black slave from a Kentucky Plantation and tricked the husband into believing the child was his.
 
Yeah i heard the same thing....i also heard that BECAUSE he was somewhat black that he is looking to the right on the penny, compared to everyone else on the nickel dime and quarter looking to the left...i think they flipped the guy on the newer nickel but if you have an older one you'll see what i'm saying...plus pennies are brown and the others are silver...
