Obama’s family owned slaves.

“On his mother’s side the 44th president’s (a) descendant of slave owners

” Obama’s great-great-great-great-grandfather, George Washington Overall... owned two slaves in Kentucky: a 15-year-old girl and a 25-year-old man... Obama’s great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, Mary Duvall, also owned a pair of slaves listed in an 1850 census record. They were a 60-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman. In fact, the Duvalls were a wealthy family whose members were descended from a major landowner, Maureen Duvall, whose estate owned at least 18 slaves in the 17th century.”

there’s slavery today in Africa. No moral outrage from the American left about it, though.
