Pic of President Obama on Drudge looks like Malcolm X to me.

Does anyone else here think the glasses on President Obama in the picture on Drudge make him look like a lot like Malcolm X?

[Bridge_toofar]

Possibly through her Kenyan husband who was active in the
African-American issues?

Malcolm X was “friends” with Stanley Dunham? Malcolm X wasn’t too crazy about white people, especially white women. In fact when an excited white liberal woman came up to him, asking what she could do to “help his cause”, he said “Nothing!”.

[Bridge_toofar]

The person on left has straight hair...very unlikely from a negroid ancestry.

Ann Dunham was born in 1942....Malcolm X was still around in the 1960’s before he was assassinated. So the connection is not implausible.

Did that incident really happen or was it just some dramatic license from the 1992 Spike Lee film? I've read the Alex Haley book and don't recall it being mentioned in "The Autobiography of Malcolm X".

The reason that I do NOT believe that Malcolm is Barrys dad is that I cannot believe the Narcissist In Chief could ever keep from divulging such information about Himself being such a Superior Individual.

AND... were he able to keep quiet, I can't believe the likes of Oprah Winfrey could -- it's just too juicy.

Ha! I had the same thought: how could he help but have trumpeted it for years years ago?

Got sidetracked, and now back online for a minute.

To All: Check out the amazing numbers of photos scattered throughout this thread. Thanks, hennie pennie.

Take away the legend that Stanley Ann Dunham was the mother and what have you? A three year old boy who showed up in Hawaii at the same time as Maya Angelou is shown with her brother Bailey Johnson Jr in Hawaii, shortly after MX visited Maya in Ghana:

It's not a plot hatched in the sixties, it simply started out as a means to keep an affair conducted in the middle east by MX a secret and protect the child. Before he returned from his last trip to Egypt shortly before he was assassinated in the US, MX wrote that he expected to be killed - not in the US - but in the middle east. There's a LOT you don't know about MX. He made his first trip to egypt-africa in 1959.

And no, I am NOT suggesting Maya was the mother. She wasn't working in Cairo for 'The Arab Voice' until 1960:

"...In New York City, she later married South African freedom fighter and civil rights advocate Vusumzi Make in 1960. They moved to Cairo, Egypt, where she became editor of the weekly newspaper, The Arab Observer, and Guy began elementary school. Maya Angelou continually took writing and teaching positions as she and Guy adjusted to African lifestyles. She and her son left Egypt for Ghana as her second marriage was coming to an end in 1963..."

MAYA KNOWS! And if Maya knows, so does Oprah. And neither of them are telling.

I’ve always thought he looked like a hybrid of Malcom X with a smattering of his grandfather Dunham mixed in. I see no resemblance to Frank Marshall Davis nor Barak Sr.

Hey everybody.... come on and look at this pic of Jimi Hendrix .... come on over here, NOW..... I'd never ever heard of this theory, this is utterly ... weird.....

[hennie pennie]

Obama mentions Jimi Hendrix????????

[justiceseeker93]

Malcolm X was a friend of Barack's mother.

I hate to rain on the parade, but is there any record of Malcolm X being in or around Seattle or Hawaii about the time little O would have been conceived (late 1960)? I believe Malcolm was based in New York at the time.

[Just A Nobody]

Thanks for the ping, js.

Yes, I read something that connected Stanley Ann and MX being in the same place at the same time around the "right" time. Can't remember the particulars, but Fred may.

I just got in, but will look for the info.

It is in the book. In fact, Malcolm X regretted saying it, and was “evolving” on his views of whites after he took a Hajj and met “good” Muslims who were blond haired and blue eyed. He discovered that Elijah Mohammed was a fraud who was sleeping with anything he could get his paws on, and wasn’t living the life of a “true” Muslim. I think this is why he was assassinatd, in fact, because he wasn’t useful to the Black Muslim movement anymore, and indeed was a threat to expose the hypocrisy.

Listen to Cashill’s interview...he says Hendrix is one of 3 possible candidates as the baby-daddy. His opinion is that Malcom X is not possible.

His new book “Deconstructing Obama’ is out on Feb. 15th.

[Jedidah]

Surreal, to suggest that it’s ridiculous for a POTUS to be the son of two US citizens.

(I get your point, no clarification needed.)

These days, it feels like we’re chasing the White Rabbit.

[autumnraine]

Well, since we can’t be POSITIVE that Obama was conceived, since we don’t know EXACTLY when he was born...

That being said, Malcolm X WAS in Seattle in 1961 for the beginning of the World’s Fair. Apparently he and MLK spoke at the Seattle Center in mid 1961.

[hennie pennie]

Wow, thanks for the heads up, I’ll have to read his new book, this is just fascinating. But I must say that the idea of Jimi Hendrix as the birth father of the President of the United States is alarming, LOL

[hennie pennie]

Doesn’t Bailey have a chin remarkably similar to BHO’s chin?
