Yes, there are several investigative stories out there on Obama’s family history. His family background was Muslim. He has no connections to the dominant Christian Kikuyu tribe there. His ancestors were slave traders who were rewarded by Queen Victoria with permission to live in the British colony of Kenya.
There was some speculation that these ancestors were actually Arab Muslims, not black, but that seems doubtful to me, from their appearance. At most I would think any Arab ancestors must have been in the minority.
As for apologizing for one’s ancestors, I only mention it because of the double standard among the politically correct. All white people need to apologize. And many black activists switched from Christian to Black Muslim, not seeming to realize that the original slavers were, in fact, mostly Arab and black Muslims in Africa, who sold captured Africans to ship captains.
I have seen this stated. I have never seen anything vaguely resembling proof. You got any?
The Luo had lived in Kenya for many centuries. They had no need to immigrate.

This is inaccurate, insofar as the Atlantic slave trade goes.
Muslims, Arab or black, were at best marginally involved with this trade, as the entire coastline was controlled by powerful pagan African states such as Dahomey and the Ashanti. They did not allow Muslims from the interior to bring their slaves to the coast for sale.
No doubt some of the slaves sold by the coastal peoples were originally captured by Muslims in the Sahel, but the coast peoples were the ones dealing with Europeans.
There was a major African slave trade for many centuries by Muslims, but it was across the Sahara to North Africa and from East Africa to the Middle East and India. Few if any of these folks made it across the Atlantic.
