Black Woman Commanded Ship That Saved Captain From Somali Pirates
By News One April 27, 2009 9:26 am
While the facts surrounding the kidnapping and rescue of the Maersk Alabama Captain Richard Phillips have been widely reported, less well-known is that ship which saved him was commanded by a black woman, Rear Admiral Michelle Howard.
Howard received the assignment of leading the U.S. Navy’s counter-piracy task force just three days before the Maersk Alabama was attacked by Somalia pirates.
“It’s probably one of the most exciting missions the Navy has been on in for a long while,” Howard told the Navy Times.

Theres no duch thing as a light skinned black african.Light skinned black comes from race mixing and forceing mixed race children to be seen as black only by the one drop rul.this is where we get the light skin black from, This rule was created during the time of slavery in our country. The rule basically stated that a person with as little as one drop of black was black no matter how light they were. But neggggress love to keep the rule alive by claming anyone with black blood.

For all extensively purposes she is NOT white but IS AFRICAN-American so that should take out this ludicrous “is she really black?” debate. The bottom line is this is the first time I’ve heard of this story and I wonder why?!?!? SHE COMMANDERED THE RESCUING SHIP FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!! The mainstream media will carelessly leave this news out but will surely report on Somali pirates taking hostages every chance they get.
lord we as black people still have a long way to go!! when we call our selves n****r’s. or that a cracker on top posting late like the clan under darkness
Why do n****ress need to point out anyone who seem or look black as black?

Just because a person is high yellow do not make them mixed. Anyways you see it, she is black, and its better than seeing a BLACK person making a fool of themselves making nationwide news.
mixxedd. not black sweetheart. but w/ anyother black story..dont see it on the news. WHATSOEVER
what d hell is dat..calling dat mixed lady a black woman..must accept d fact dat ppl are now mixing ok..having a white parent definately does not make one black because d other parent is black..just like barack obama..peace n luv
Now this is what I’m talking about…..only heard this from a black website…not reported in the main mass media. Racist punks.
First post….????
Wow a rear admiral she is pretty high up there, good story
