Did We Already Vote For Our First Black President?

Will Americans vote for a black president? If the notorious
historian William Estabrook Chancellor was right, we already did. In
the early 1920s, Chancellor helped assemble a controversial
biographical portrait accusing President Warren Harding of covering up
his family’s “colored” past. According to the family tree Chancellor
created, Harding was actually the great-grandson of a black woman.
Under the one-drop rule of American race relations, Chancellor claimed,
the country had inadvertently elected its “first Negro president.”
In today’s presidential landscape, many Americans view the prospect of
a black man in the Oval Office as a sign of progress — evidence of a
“postracial” national consciousness. In the white-supremacist heyday of
the 1920s (the Ku Klux Klan
had a major revival during the Harding years), the taint of “Negro
blood” was political death. The Harding forces hit back hard against
Chancellor, driving him out of his job and destroying all but a handful
of published copies of his book.
What do you think about the 'pregnant man' on Oprah?

Thomas Beatie, a former woman who is now a pregnant man, defended his
decision today to have a baby, saying he has a "right to have a
biological child."
Despite removing his breasts, growing a wispy beard and legally having
his gender changed from female to male, Beatie, 34, kept his female sex
organs intact because he hoped to have a child some day.
After years of struggling with his sexual identity and deciding
to live as a man, he did the most womanly thing possible -- he became
pregnant.
In an exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey, Beatie said his
lifelong desire to have children motivated him to use his still working
female reproductive organs when he learned that Nancy, his wife of five
years, was unable to conceive.
"I actually opted not to do anything to my reproductive organs
because I wanted to have a child one day. I see pregnancy as a process
and it doesn't define who I am," Beatie told Winfrey.
