It is entirely possible (especially with the "rules" of ethnicity at the time) that Lincoln would have been regarded as black had his lineage been investigated fully.

Yes... I was only informed about the new things happening in "the election"... Thankfully BBC wasn't only about that (but still a big part was)... so I did find out how dramatically Hamilton won... And I have to say that I fully agree with Brainer ... After seeing videos of random Americans not knowing to show on a map where is Australia ... and mixing it with Iraq... I feel offended by the pressure that I have to know so much about them, their culture and history...

Most people I know don't "go on and on" about American politics but were pretty glued to this one; some even stayed up all night to watch it. I didn't go that far - nothing disturbs my sleep - but I woke up early to see the result. To be fair, this was a more interesting election than usual, and a historical one.

Or regional politics? Maybe those that go on and on about american politics really dont have anything in life anymore to focus on .. or the things more close to home would trigger something for real ..

One day, you will have a problem or crisis that you can't think your way out of. And there your friend will be with a bit of backwoods way of thinking that will change your entire outlook... or maybe not. Mensa member he is not :) Keep him around for amusement.
