Does anyone know of Theodore Roosevelt or any other past president having a black parent of half black parent?

I was listening to some old ladies talk in my mom's shop and they said Teddie Roosevelt had a black parent. I'm trying to find out if there is any truth to this story. If anyone knows anything please tell me and leave a reference source! Thanks!Does anyone know of Theodore Roosevelt or any other past president having a black parent of half black parent?
TR having a black or half-black parent? Hogwash!





Warren G. Harding was thought to have some black heritage. During the [1920] campaign, rumors spread that Harding's great-great-grandfather was a West Indian black and that other blacks might be found in his family tree.Does anyone know of Theodore Roosevelt or any other past president having a black parent of half black parent?
This is entirely a myth.





His family tree is clearly accessible and there are no blacks in his back ground.





As far as can 'actually' be proven there are no black ancestors in the back ground of any past president.
Theodore father was Theodore Roosevelt senior


there is a picture of him http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Ro鈥?/a>





Martha Bulloch Roosevelt was his mother

If that were true, and if anyone had known about it, he would never have held any appointed or elected political office, much less the presidency.





The world was a much more bigoted place back then.
Definitely not true. Roosevelt's family was an upper-class society family from New York and they really knew who they were marrying. The rumor is about Warren Harding, but the connection was many generations back, if true at all.
