The only people I’ve ever met who said Africa was their home were people who actually were from Africa. Not people whose father, whom they never knew and with whom they never lived, much less lived in Africa.

I’m not saying you get from Michelle’s remark to “he was born there.” I’m just saying it’s ridiculous how romantic these people are about Africa, all the while the POTUS seems fairly remote from the American experience.

Yet, those who have never been to AFRICA and do not know their actual genealogical line use the term AFRICAN-AMERICAN to specify their race.

Their only 'proof' of this claim, is that they watched the movie, ROOTS.

Yeah, most dictators seem that way.
