Did Obama apologize for his Luo tribe’s slave-raiding and slave-trading proclivities yet??

Africa was known to support slave trading... what's the deal here? this article tries to make it seem like the Holocaust.... Arabs and Africans got rich from slave trading If mechele fought back tears, perhaps they were tears from fatigue/stress/hangover/cameras, etc. any of which will do it

“do what we can to fight against the kinds of evils” of the the Wesat African Arab/Muslim slave trade ?
Hmmmm....any Muslims still invading Black Africa and being “Evil” ?
Trying to get 200 year old Sympathy from this Trip ? Repriations ? You’re NOT the President of Africa....But you can stay and rule if you want, ignore what the people want, just do your Marxist thing in Africa, it will be a lot easier....no constitution to slow you down.

Not one issue raised on this thread will be asked by MSM. . .not one.
Recollection is that it is Obama's side of the family that were the 'Arab/African slavers' - while Michelle's probably were working in our cotton fields. (Obama did need seem 'authentic' black for his story.) There 'genes' probably met a long time ago; in a much different circumstance.

Does it hurt his black half or his white half?

Both sides were slave-owners...
Guess that’s enough to give him a bellyache at the thought...
Just how does one rave at those there white folks in America about guilt for past slavery ???

Before the visit, Michelle Obama, whose great-great-grandfather, Jim Robinson, her oldest known relative, was born into slavery on a rice plantation in South Carolina, was made "Queen of the Cape Coast" by traditional chiefs of the region. I've never seen her in a cape but wasn't she also recently crowned "Queen Of The Too Small, Too Tight Cardigan?"

AMERICAS first lady, Michelle Obama, fought back tears yesterday as she toured a former Dutch slaving fort similar to the one in which it is believed her ancestors were held before being shipped to work on plantations in the deep south of the United States. Wouldn't it be funny if it was Obama's ancestors who were the ones who sold Michelle's ancestors into slavery?

Ghanaians are jubilant that the first black American president has honoured their country with his first visit to sub-Saharan Africa. They have greeted the trip more as a homecoming than an official visit. Akwaaba[welcome home], proclaim banners strung across Ghanas main highways. Gee, they left out the part about him returning to the continent of his birth. I wonder how they managed to forget to mention that part?

Coincidently, 0bama flew near Tripoli where Muslims enslaved white people, including Americans.
To: DefeatHitlery08
That was the allegation by one of the Obamas, I forget which. Who are we to question the Marxists’ savior? /s.
