...There have been threads about “oh look, a child of the Kenyan in the Kenyan archives born in 1961 in Kenya”. etc.

And everyone jumped onto the wagon, no one thought to ask themselves, when was the Peter Firstbrook book published, is it possible someone who read it picked up that bit about Kezia having a child while the kenyan was in Hawaii? No. Apparently it was far more exciting to suggest Stanley Ann Dunham went to Kenya to have a child. Rubbish.

Until people let go of that mother-myth, and realize the reason no one saw her in Hawaii or saw her pregnant was simply because she wasn't either...they'll find nothing.

First you have to empty your cup...

Clinging onto misconceptions is the very best way to never know the truth. It’s humbling to admit “Gosh, I really don’t know”. Or “Gosh, I thought something true that wasn’t”, or hardest of all admitting “Gee, I was totally wrong!”.

But everyone can use some humbling, it’s good for the soul.

Plus then people can see the truth so much more easily.

(In all areas of life.)
