 Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was.

Jackie O, perhaps America?s most emulated and admired First Lady, descended from a family known as the van Salee?s, who were described as ?mulatto? in the 17th century. This family traced its lineage in part to a Dutch mariner named Jan Jensen, who turned Turk (what some Europeans called ?going native?), which was more popular than common history reveals.
It is widely believed Jensen fathered two children, Anthony and Abraham van Salee, by a Moorish concubine. Following a dispute with his white wife, Anthony van Salee was exiled to territory across the river, where he became Brooklyn?s first settler. Until a few decades ago, this property adjoining Coney Island was called Turk?s Island after Anthony van Salle ? the term ?Turk,? in his day being synonymous with Moor (North African). A descendant, John van Salee De Grasse, born in 1825, was the first black American formally educated as a doctor. When Jackie Kennedy was asked about her van Salee roots during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, she called her ancestors ?Jewish.? Of course, her socialite father, born in 1891, was nicknamed ?Black Jack? Bouvier for his swarthy complexion. In the 1960s, journalists described the First Lady?s features as ?French,? earning her the cover page of countless magazines, including film and fan publications. Not only Kennedy Onassis, but well-borns Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Vanderbilt (and thus Anderson Cooper), are van Salee descendants.

look what happened here

Either Professor Hershkowitz, or Tim Beard, former head of the Genealogical Department of the New York Public Library related this incident regarding van Salee genealogy. At the time the Kennedy administration began implementing its civil rights agenda, the New York Genealogical and Historical Society approached Mrs. Kennedy hoping to discuss the opportunity her African ancestry, through the Van Salees, could have in possibly assisting her husband to realize his social goals regarding race relations. Mrs. Kennedy insisted on referring to the van Salees as 'Jewish,' and the New York Genealogical Society did not push the subject further.

America's Van Salees Humphry Bogart and Ruth Gordon in a scene from the 1927 film "Saturday's Children." He is a Van Salee descendent and she is a Pendarvis descendent. A few years later, another descendant attempted to pass off the racial description of the van Salles in the official records as nothing more than malicious humor.

Abraham Lincoln was also rumored to be of African descent.

But I mean in Amer' we all know it's about what's on the surface that determines your perceived race.
And we know none of these people would've ever admitted to having this ancestry. So no they're not one of us.

They don't deserve the title of being "first". Obama proudly proclaims he's Black. Not correcting anyone saying "I'm biracial." Even though he very well could. So he's our first Black mess owt, and GODchelle is as well

Look I don't want to argue but there's something other than white there Fff and it's been proven that she has African American descendants but MESS

Not to disregard Jackie's lineage, but I think it's far more powerful for some to see a brown-skinned black woman and her daughters of the same complexion in the oval office

[GLOCK]
