Report This!
Researching Obama's roots reveals that on his father's side, he is descended from Arab slave traders. They operated under an extended grant from Queen Victoria, who gave them the right to continue the slave trade in exchange for helping the British defeat the Madhi Army in southern Sudan and the Upper Nile region. Today, the British again face the Madhi Army, albeit this time the Shiite, not the Sunnis as in 19th-century Sudan.Telling America's black community that while their ancestors were breaking the shackles of slavery, Obama's ancestors were enslaving and trading black Africans would hardly make it as an Oprah bestseller. Being the son of a poor Kenyan goat herder plays much better than being the son of a highly placed Arab African who operated at the top of the Kenyan government following his education at Columbia. Thus, the way he portrays his father in the book is a lie.
I kept after this guy to provide some evidence for this claim and he finally provided this link. The underlying article is here and it's a doozy. It's based on "research" by historian Leroy Vaughn, author of Black People and Their Place in World History but it makes no mention of Obama's Arab ancestry. That's what the first link did and it was posted by someone who goes by the screen name " teckel" and teckel doesn't provide any evidence.
