The connection to FMD was where he came from and who he was sent to Hawaii by, in 1948.
CHICAGO, MARXISM/LENINISM CENTRAL.
What you think you know about FMD’s ‘sexual desires’ were the result of the pornographic books he wrote in an effort to earn a living, just before his wife finally left him.
He had five children. He was an unashamed communist, like uncounted thousands of other American citizens. That didn’t make him a rapist of little boys.
I have grave doubts that obama wrote that poem ‘Pop’ - Helen left FMD in 1970, iirc. Some woman named Weatherly-Williams, who herself had mixed-race children, is the ONLY source that exists that maintains she ever saw FMD, zero and the boy together.
He was in Hawaii from 1970 until he graduated in 1979. Surely someone else would have seen them? ‘Dreams’ tells us that Frank and Stanley Armour took him to nightclubs. Frankly, (no pun) Stanley Armour just doesn’t look the type, and Madelyn would have had kittens...she was a Bank Vice President. How does that work?

I believe he did write it. He wanted to express his gayness subtly in poetry form. His friends say he was pretty open in his neighborhood circle with his homosexuality, even turning tricks for $. At the same time, there were many closeted gay artists who loved hinting subtly at their gayness back then. I believe he didn’t see what happened with Frank as abuse; he thought it was cool.
