Clan Obama is of the Muslim part of the Luo tribe. The Luo traditionally were the slave gatherers for the Arab slave trade headquartered in Mombasa and Lamu. Kenya was colonized in 1905, not all that long ago. The Obama ancestor who was arrested by the British more than likely was arrested for slave trading.
Suffice it to say that the Luo Muslims are not well liked in Kenya. The Kikuyu fear them, the Masai love killing them.
Mr. Darcy had his own email server in his basement, so what difference does it make?
” the Masai love killing them. “
Masai + 2
The Kenyan Obamas are both Muslim and Christians.
The Obama ancestor I believe you are referring to was his grandfather. While the records are vague, he was arrested in the 40s or 50s for anti-British activities, not slaving.
I have never seen any evidence that the Obama family was involved in the slave trade. If you have any, I’d like to see it.
