Did you read this part:

“Researching his roots reveal that on his father’s side, he is descended from Arab slave traders. They operated under an extended grant from Queen Victoria, who gave them the right to continue the slave trade in exchange for helping the British defeat the Madhi Army in southern Sudan and the Upper Nile region. Funny how circular is history; now the British again face the Madhi Army, albeit this time Shiite, not Sunni, as in nineteenth century Sudan.

But telling America’s black community that while their ancestors were breaking the shackles of slavery, Mr. Obama’s ancestors were placing those shackles upon their wrists would hardly play as an Oprah Winfrey best-seller.”

YIKES!

THIS part has to get out there more than any others!!!!!!!!

So were his ancestors the ones who purchased human beings from tribes who originally kidnapped them from their homes, OR were his the ones who actually did the kidnapping???

Either way: HE is the oppressor!!!!
