As far as the whole controversy over his grandmother, I don't know any more facts than in the article. But I don't think the claim could be totally outrageous. The points about miscegenation should be noted. Besides, if she really loved Mr. Ford, then to me it is not a very far fetched notion that a white woman would say that she was really black, if not for love for her husband, than at least to keep him from being targetted by bigoted whites for lynching.
Just my 06 cents worth.

Judging from the photo of the woman, she appears to be as black as I am... albeit a lighter shade. I don't know where he got that lie from.
