Somebody pointed out that now it looks like his “white side” is blacker than his “black side”.

Claire: Hey there – quit slicing up syllogisms! Them razors can be dangerous.

I don’t care what he is as long as he is unemployed on November 7.

I read a plausible article yesterday that pointed out there is a *missing link*—so that it is not possible to connect P-Punch to OBoBo! ALSO: Harvard referred to OBoBo as a “Professor” teaching Constitutional Law—–NOT a “Law Professor”.

Why? Because OBoBo had to surrender his Law Degree, for some shenanigens previous! As did Moosechelle; in her case to avoid a criminal trial………….. ;^(

1) . Dick, my limited research in colonial Virginia records was pretty smooth compared to some because the Perrotts were semi important in the early 1600′s. Two or three generations later they had lost everything and scattered to hell and back. It’s extremely hard to get halfway provable information for poor white families when you go back even 3 or 4 generations. From my very limited experience I’ve concluded that at least half of ‘family trees’ are made up to suit the person doing the research.

And I’ve seen quite a few misspellings and made up spellings but never saw a ‘B’ confused with a ‘P’ for the first letter of a name. When used at the beginning of a word, they don’t sound a whole lot alike unless that character from Bill Cosby was the source.

Of course they decided the name was spelled wrong and Bunch was Punch or Punch was Bunch— wait!!!— more to come– will it be a walk back or a go forward??? The suspense is killing me—

I would note that Punch was sentenced – as in criminal proceedings.

Meanwhile, we find that the 1st legal slave – John Casor – was owned by a black man.

This is the case that set the precedent for slavery.

Ok -- maybe it's cuz I'm just a ignerunt redneck -- maybe it's the lack of coffee, but I'm having trouble following this:

John Punch [ first slave eva ] is the only likely person to have been the father of John Bunch. John Bunch’s father was white...

John P-Punch was black. [Re Negro John Punch (1640)*] [Unless we're talking about the John Punch, O.F.M., Irish Franciscan scholastic philosopher and theologian who originated the classic formulation of Ockham's Razor? Iron...] P-Punch begat with an unnamed white woman some free children. [ ...all children borne in this country shalbe held bond or free only according to the condition of the mother, [BUT] if any christian shall committ ffornication with a Negro man or woman, hee or shee soe offending shall pay double the ffines imposed by the former act.*] A black Slave begattin' with a free white woman? That's likely... *eyeroll*

John Bunch’s father was white, and so was his wife, which means that President Obama descends from the first known black-and-white couple

So maybe he meant that B-Bunch's mother was white, and his wife, too. Which means that his offspring were still 1/4 black. entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem
