The Central Jakarta administration will move the controversial "Little Barry" statue from its current location at Taman Menteng in Central Jakarta to state elementary school SDN 01 Menteng next week, an official says.
"We are currently discussing with officials from the school and its alumni association," city spokesman Cucu Ahmad Kurnia told reporters Friday. "We hope the move will happen next week."
US President Barack Obama attended the elementary school for almost two years when he spent part of his childhood in Jakarta.
Erected by the Jakarta-based Friends of Obama Foundation in December last year, the statue, which resembles Obama as a boy, recently sparked wide public criticism for insulting the nation's pride.
Just a few days after the Central Jakarta municipality unveiled the statue at Menteng Park, experts and a group of Facebook users demanded it be dismantled.
On Wednesday, the Central Jakarta District Court held a hearing to try a class action lawsuit by five plaintiffs representing 50,000 members of the "Take down the Barack Obama statue from Menteng Park" group on Facebook.
The five plaintiffs - Heru Nugroho, Protus Tanuhandaru, Daniel Rudi Haryanto, Andes Soesman and FX Agung Bimo Sutedjo - filed the suit against Jakarta governor, Central Jakarta mayor and the Jakarta Parks and Cemeteries Agency, saying the statue didn't deserve a place at the park and should be immediately removed.
Although appreciating the administration's plan to remove the statue, Heru said the group would go ahead with its lawsuit.
"We will only withdraw the lawsuit if the city administration publicly apologizes for its one-sided decision to permit the statue," he told The Jakarta Post.
Hawaiian-born Obama moved to Indonesia at the age of six to live with his mother, Ann Dunham, and Indonesian stepfather Lolo Soetoro.
Obama attended third grade at the school in 1968. He returned to Hawaii at the age of 10 to live with his maternal grandparents.
‘Dreams From My Father’:
Only Malcolm X’s autobiography seemed to offer something different. His repeated acts of self-creation spoke to me;
the blunt poetry of his words, his unadorned insistence on respect, promised a new and uncompromising order, martial
in its discipline, forged through sheer force of will. All the other stuff, the talk of blue-eyed devils and apocalypse, was
incidental to that program, I decided, religious baggage that Malcolm himself seemed to have safely abandoned toward
the end of his life. And yet, even as I imagined myself following Malcolm’s call, one line in the book stayed me. He
spoke of a wish he’d once had, the wish that the white blood that ran through him, there by an act of violence, might
somehow be expunged. I knew that, for Malcolm, that wish would never be incidental. I knew as well that traveling
down the road to self-respect my own white blood would never recede into mere abstraction. I was left to wonder what
else I would be severing if and when I left my mother and my grandparents at some uncharted border.
They do look alike. The person who revealed this story said Malcolm X had a secret son. I cannot find anything on a secret son. FBI followed him everywhere he went and there is no record of any indiscretions that anyone found.
And Malcolm X was against extra marital relations and said to be why he left the Islam group whatever it was called.
He had a white girlfriend early ‘50s I think. but after they all went to prison they never saw each other again. I think she turned on him from what I read.

Pieces don’t fit.
I think he/she was mocking all the misinformation. Like with Maya saying Obama was born in one hospital and then another report saying he was born elsewhere. Two different hospitals?
Am I wrong? I am blonde.
No problem, I’d rather see it a dozen times than miss a new one.
I believe Pops in that poem is FMD.
Only problem with that theory is that zero looks nothing like Obama Snr, there’s no evidence that Stanely Ann was EVER in Hawaii, and when the old man died, there was ONLY ONE offspring who could PROVE he was the biological child of Senior.
AND THAT WAS MARK!
“U. S. Army finds Malcolm “mentally disqualified for military service;” because of psychopathic personality inadequacies, sexual perversion, psychiatric rejection; is classified 4F.”

mmmmmmm,,,This piece seems to fit...
Who on earth is that fat dude next to Mark? I seem to remember knowing at one time.
No idea....not sure I want to find out. ;)
I have always thought FMD was Pops in the poem as well.
The morph is freaky but what’s super freaky is they sound just alike as well. There was once a youtube with comparing their intonation, cadence, etc. I’m not saying they’re related, but anything is possible with this guy. Perhaps someone knows the link.
Some people are pack rats and never throw away newspapers. Not even old ones. Especially if they detail some significant event. Especially if they're from a place where they honeymooned.
Many people chose Hawai'i as a honeymoon destination. Many saved old newspapers as mementoes.
The newspaper (actual newspaper, now yellowed and fragile pulp by now, likely) may be in someone's attic or garage, tucked away somewhere, forgotten... maybe. But that paper has the real birth announcements in it.
And the old racist Strom Thurmond had a secret black daughter. Seduction can trump principle.

The real question is whether the paths of X and Stanley Ann ever crossed, like the “au pair” summer in Chicago mentioned in O’s book.

This would explain why he did not go to her when she died of cancer. Also why she left him or why he was taken from her by his grandparents.
mojitojoe’s been dropping some hints.
