Yes, tell that to Bill Gates, the late Steve Jobs, Larry Paige & Sergei Brin yada, yada, yada.
Not the mysterious William T Herman but William T. Sherman.
The offer of 40 acres and a mule is no longer on the table.
The value of that has been paid many times over.
This has turned up as a later find:
B. President Obama’s African Forebears Were Slave Traders
In the 18th century, Muslim slavers moved into the interior of Kenya for the purpose of exploiting blood rivalries between local tribes. Muslims encouraged warring tribes, Obama Jr’s Luo ancestors included, to capture “prisoners of war” and sell them into slavery.
Kenya tribe leaders, also exported slaves and ivory that had been exchanged by Africans from the interior for salt, cloth, beads, and metal goods. The slaves were then marched to the coast and shipped to Muslim Zanzibar (an island South of Kenya), to be traded again.
African slaves and ivory became hugely profitable and Zanzibar Muslims grew rich on the trade. Slave trading continued despite the public outrage in Europe demanding an end to all slave trade.
The British, eventually brought their forceful anti-slavery message directly to the Muslim Sultan.
After years of pressure, the Sultan finally relented and agreed to ban slavery in 1847. It was not until 1876, 11 years after the American Civil War had ended, that the sale of slaves was finally prohibited in Zanzibar.
Guess Who Bought These Slaves?
Obama’s American Forebears Were Slave Owners
Many people know that Democratic presidential candidate Obama Jr’s father was from Kenya and his mother from Kansas. But, (quoting a Mar.2, 2007 report in the Baltimore Sun), “an intriguing sliver of his [Obama Jr.] family history has received almost no attention until now: It appears that forebears of his white mother owned slaves, according to genealogical research and census records.
” . . . The records could add a new dimension to questions by some who have asked whether Obama – who was raised in East Asia and Hawaii and educated at Columbia and Harvard – is attuned to the struggles of American blacks descended from West African slaves.”
While many including Obama blame white people for slavery, they need to check the facts first.
The Meaning Of The Post Is: Obama’s relatives never were brought here into slavery, because Obama’s Muslim family were the ones rounding up the African slaves. Obama loathes white people calling them: Devils, Haunting Ghosts, Ignorant, Oppressors, etc… When it was the European white Christians that fought and died to end slavery, both in Africa and America.
As Obama says: his grandfather, Hussein Onyango Obama is Arab. Obama’s maternal grandmother, Akuma, was kidnapped, raped and enslaved by Oyango until she finally escaped, like many girls he had before. So his own grandmother in Africa was a slave to his Arabic Muslim Grandfather. This is according to Sarah Obama, Barack’s step-grandmother and mentioned in Barack’s own Memoir.
So both his African-Arabic Muslim grandfather and his white grandparents owned slaves.
