The Black McCains

Posted by Kim S. on October 22, 2008

“Yes, Virginia, Sen. John McCain does have black relatives in Mississippi.”

I found this video over at Politico. It appears that Sen. McCain ancestors owned some slaves in Oxford, Mississippi about 150 years ago and many of there descendants still live in area. The video is very interesting. However, family ties doesn’t mean Sen. McCain is getting their votes.

Digg!
