“The protest leader also got some facts wrong, saying that when Obama was born, he could not ride the same busses as white people, or “stay in the same hotels.”

Depends on where you are: Maybe that’s true in Kenya, who knows?

South Africans actually had different buses. I think in Kenya whites and upper crust native Kenyan tribal leaders and business people didn't need to ride buses ~ that had cars.

Obama's father died in a car wreck in fact ~ a very rare occurence in Africa!

Obama was born in 1961. Jim Crow Laws were abolished in 1964. The author is not mathematically inclined.
