Perhaps he was unaware of them. Perhaps he felt no need to. Maybe he felt it increased his credibility in his community and lent him some street cred that he did not have as a mulatto.

It still stands though that BHO never claimed to have been born anywhere but Hawaii. Even when he was trying to cultivate a black identity by attending a church that pushed racism and liberation theology.

His mother never claimed that he was ever born anywhere other than Hawaii as well.

"Street cred"????

What street cred?

He is half African, at most, not American 'descended from slaves'--or even freemen black, not "inner city" black, not "ghetto" black, not 'back of the bus Jim-Crow black, not even poor-dirt-road/floor-rural-field-hand black. He HAS NO 'American black experience', even as a birthright--he even claims to have gone to a school where children from 'mixed marriages' were generally accepted.

Where is the 'downtroddenness' in all that? Columbia? Harvard?

Street cred? Don't make me laugh. He's a fraud all the way around, capitalizing on suntan while selling America a bill of goods.
