The article is very misleading. Because this man only inherited one half of each parent's DNA (and they inherited only one half from each of their parents, and so on), he could be (and likely is) of African descent. This type of DNA test does not show it, because the African was simply "washed out", so to speak. In Ford's case, he should not get a DNA test, he should get a grip.

Harold Ford married this weekend
I posted this story on my blog and already have some (ahem) - interesting comments about his new spouse.

The discussion is quite interesting.

Setting aside the obvious, they look like such the odd couple. He is quite handsome in a traditional, reserved, stuffy, nerdy kind of way (with that side part - what is that about?). By contrast, she looks like a California beach, let it all hang out person. I have to say that I was surprised at her looks. I thought he would have picked a drop dead gorgeous woman (no matter the race). Maybe it's just the pic that I saw but ... she doesn't appear to be anywhere near drop dead gorgeous. Is she rich? Old money by chance?

They look related to me.
The pic in that blog isn't too flattering for either. But they are both attractive people.

DSTChaos, can you give me the blog url? I couldn't find it referenced on Greekchat. Maybe I was searching in the wrong threads.

It is Blacksocialite's blog that is linked in her signature. I figured she didn't want a cut and paste of her words on here.

Thanks!
Ms. Emily may be a relative of one of the Morgan Stanley founders. She contributed $4100 to Harold Ford, Jr's campaign for Senator.
As soon as I learn more, I'll share with those who are interested.

Maybe not. Aren't there campaign contribution limits?
