Unless Dunham was photoshopped into the picture, then it really doesn’t matter regarding the point I was making. The fogger claim is to explain away the listing of Barack Sr. as African because there was some stigma that the Dunhams attached to the word Negro. Barack Sr. wasn’t the only person in the photo that matches that description.

There's only one person in this saga who would have objected to being called a negro. And that person is the man from Kenya, whose father spent two years in a prison after being rounded up by the British...for probable involvement in the mau mau uprising.

UHURU! FREEDOM FROM WHITE RULE. AFRICAN FOR AFRICANS. AFRICA FOR BLACK PEOPLE!

Negro is a term associated with SLAVES. He wasn't going to tolerate being called a NEGRO! He was going to become an important man in a new government upon Independence, there's no way he would allow himself to be categorized with such a derogatory term.
