Mrs. Davis is on the far right, holding infant.

Jefferson Davis, Jr. He looks more like Mrs. Davis than his father.

*That is not true. I have been in Saudi Arabia, and there were many Jews at the place where I was (Chiniquy).

Chiniquy’s note:

Mrs Davis late in her life was a strong supporter of Booker T. Washington.

I don’t know if she found out at this late stage of her life, or perhaps she had always been aware that, she had African ancestry.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — Oct 13, 2014, 1:32 PM ET

A century and a half after Confederate officer James Malbone wrote his Civil War diary partly in code, a couple of Yankees have figured out why he took the precaution: He liked to gossip.

Sprinkled amid entries on camp recipes and casualties are encrypted passages in which Malbone dishes on such juicy topics as a fellow soldier who got caught in bed with another man’s wife.

Malbone also writes about meeting the wife of Confederate President Jefferson Davis and describes her looks in an apparent echo of rumors at the time that she may have been of mixed race.

“That’s pretty shocking,” said Kent D. Boklan, the Queens College computer science professor and former National Security Agency cryptographer who deciphered Malbone’s code with little difficulty. “It’s a military diary and you expect military information, but you don’t expect the first lady of the Confederacy to make an appearance in this diary.”

According to Boklan, Malbone’s encrypted entry about Varina Howell Davis describes her as “dark complected” with “very very brown skin dark eyes” and “high cheek bones wide mouth.”

Davis’ wife was a well-educated woman for her time, and as a result, was the target of “all kind of gossipy innuendos from the ladies” in Richmond, Virginia, the Confederate capital, according to Sam Craghead of the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond.

Malbone, a lieutenant with the 6th Virginia Infantry Regiment, was severely wounded in the arm at the Battle of Chancellorsville in 1863. Assigned to light duty behind the lines, he used a leather-bound pocket diary to jot down his thoughts and even a poem.

Many of the entries were in a code he devised himself, consisting of a variety of symbols, including punctuation marks and a dollar sign, that corresponded to letters of the alphabet.

Other entries — names of deserters, costs of supplies — were written in plain text because the diary would have been submitted to his superiors so they could copy the information for their official records, according to Jim Gandy, librarian at the New York State Military Museum.

Gandy said the journal probably came into the possession of a New York soldier at the end of the war and wound up in the state’s vast collection. It is the only Confederate diary in the museum. There is no record there of Malbone’s ultimate fate.

It wasn’t until 2012 that a museum volunteer discovered the diary was written partly in code. The museum contacted Boklan, who had broken Union and Confederate codes used in other documents, and he completed the deciphering after working on it for a week in January.

“Technically, this is not very hard to break,” Boklan said. “There were some odd things. With a little bit of work and patience everything worked out.”

(Chiniquy’s comment below)

Many Caucasian Americans today, have African ancestry.

The majority of them are not even aware of it.

Here is a picture of three mixed race slaves from New Orleans in the 19th century. The boys name was Charley Taylor. His father was Alexander Withers:

During the 1940s, the blonde hair, blue eyes African American leader of the NAACP; Walter White wrote:

“Every year, thousands of light skinned Negroes “cross over” and live their lives as white people.”

Walter White’s family in Georgia.

I am sure that the majority of these people who “Crossed Over,” never told their spouses or children, that they were of African descent.

In fact many of these ‘crossed over white’s’ children, became more racist against people of African descent than other Caucasians.

The reason they became more racists was because these “Cross Overs” fathers and mothers; made sure that they didn’t do or say anything, that would make other Caucasians suspect that they were of African descent.

They made sure that they didn’t listen to music by African Americans; that they didn’t eat food that was stereotyped as “Negro food” (watermelon, fried chicken etc.); that they didn’t read Negro newspapers or go to movies with African American actors.

This rigid pattern against doing anything that would be perceived as, what people of African descent would do; in time made their offspring develop a dislike for people of African descent and everything considered “black.”

Over the past 40 years since I have lived in the United States of America; I have met many Caucasian racists that I knew were of African descent.

Some of them have even been leaders of local KKK or skinhead groups.

A few years ago I read about a Caucasian racist, who was trying to create an ‘all white’ city.

He found out through a DNA test that he had African ancestry 🙂

I would caution any Caucasian who has a deep seated hatred for people of African descent; to question where that hatred came from 🙂

Most likely some of their recent ancestors, were African Americans who were “passing” as ‘whites’ 🙂

As an example is the mulatto J. Edgar Hoover, the former Director of the FBI.

https://chiniquy.wordpress.com/2016/02/08/j-edgar-hoover-had-black-ancestors/

Hoover, hated African Americans with a passion.

He never wanted any of his associates in the FBI or the government, to suspect that he was mixed race.

So he was extremely biased against his own people.

Many of the present day descendants of these passing white, have now inherited the same problem, that many people of African descent in Europe and the Americas suffer from:

Hatred of their own African ancestry.
