18. Ack. Wow. "The African ancestors on his father's side were of Arabic descent". bzzzt.
They were not. The come from a distinct African tribal group. And it's unlikely that they were slave traders, but so the fuck what if they were? What does that have to do with anything? Furthermore, Obama, walking down any street in this country, would be seen as a black man. It's that simple. And he identifies as a black man, though he's certainly open and affirmative about his white heritage and family.

Your post is reprehensible.
