The McCain family has a proud tradition in the United States. They fought for integration of the south, resisted the Ku Klux Klan, led civil rights campaigns and left a lasting mark on the politics of Mississippi.

But, despite contradictory statements made by Sen. John McCain, that branch of his family was once owned as slaves by the candidate's ancestors

On Monday morning's CNN Newsroom, reporter Kyra Phillips talked with Wall Street Journal's Atlanta Bureau Chief Douglas Blackmon and Lillie McCain, a black relative of John McCain.

"We've had the pleasure of meeting Joe McCain," explained Lillie. "He attends the reunions at Teoc {Mississippi} ... I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Senator McCain."

"Do you think it could make a difference with regard to diversity issues, issues of race, if John McCain did participate {in the reunions}?" asked Phillips.

"I think it probably could," said Ms. McCain. "It would give him an opportunity to know us. I e-mailed him back in 2000 to remind him of his ties to Teoc, Mississippi. snip

"The McCain campaign told me, when I talked to them about this, that he hasn't been to any of the family reunions simply because of scheduling conflicts," said Blackmon. "There's not a decision not to do that."

acknowledge because her father left that daughter piss poor while giving the entire family fortune to his second born. I think she's scared shitless she'll have to share.

Can you imagine the racist freaks who are voting McCain because he's white finding out that he has distant black relatives? And look at the treatment afforded adopted Meghan on this People cover. All the blonde McCains are prominent while Meghan is stuck down in the corner. They probably hoped she'd be obliterated by a mailing label.




The McCain's, both of them, are real pieces of work.
