His dad was mostly Arab.

Arabs can look very dark.

Your link is utter nonsense.

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.

Total nonsense.

The British had been fighting slavery for almost a century at this point. In fact, the mahdist revolt in the Sudan occurred largely because they had insisted on stopping the slave trade, the basis of the Sudanese economy.

The idea that Vicky or her officials would do any such thing is truly ludicrous.

FTM, one look at Papa Obama makes it pretty clear he is African, not Arab. East African, to be sure, which has considerable differences from the West African physical type we're more familiar with, but still African, not Arab.
