Here is video of President Obama and his family touring the Cape Coast Castle in Ghana today. The castle was used as a slave trading post by the British in the 1600's, and was the last place in Africa many African slaves saw before they were taken away aboard slave ships. . . . . . (Watch Video)

is this where where obama’s muslim ancestors delivered africans for shipment to the colonies?

This is where Barack Obama’s ancestors sold Michelle Obama’s ancestors to Hillary Clinton’s ancestors.

Yep, MO’s ancestors may have left Africa through this place. Slavery was tragic, I despise the thought of it but I wonder if she gave any thought to where she would be today if her ancestors had not been brought to this country.

Perhaps, but note the point is to stick it to the British at every turn. Our most loyal ally forever and Obama just has this animosity towards UK most likely due to his ne'er-do-well Father's hatred toward the Brits. Meanwhile his Muslim brothers continue slave trading to this day.

Best line of the month! (so far)

Africans should consider the port as the “Gates to Heaven”, for those who escaped the ignorance, poverty and violence of Africa...

America’s descendants of slaves should compare their lives to those who were left behind....

America’s blacks are the most unappreciative benefactors of the greatest generosity and opportunity to excel EVER shown by ANY race or people as the Americans have shown them...

Far too many blacks have repaid that generosity with hatred, criminal acts, constant bitching about discrimination and insufficient “welfare” benefits, and trashing neighborhoods and cities where their numbers have become any significant percent of the general population....

There are exceptions — but not many.

They should revere the Cape Coast Castle as their gateway to freedom.  Otherwise, today they could be eating bugs and grubs and living under despotic African goon dictators......
