Not only does McCain have a whole bunch of black relatives, from back in the day when the McCain family of Teoc, Mississippi, owned a plantation and had numerous African slaves on that plantation, but McCain totally ignores that entire part of his family. Some of the black relatives are relatives just in name because their ancestors were owned by the McCain family, but they are not mixed race. Other McCains are mixed race from when white McCain men, back in the day, had sex with their black slaves. For real.
McCain's brother and several other white McCain relatives often make the trek back to Teoc where a giant reunion is planned every year, by Teresa and Charles McCain, black relatives of John McCain. McCain never accepts the invitations and never acknowledges that part of his family history. Indeed, in the 2000 campaign, he claimed his family never owned slaves.
Salt in the wounds: several black and white McCain family members at this year's reunion reported they would not be voting for their candidate, even if he was a relative.
