excerpt:

Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian, that from his mother. What those who want Mr. Obama to write history by becoming “America’s first African-American president” ignore is that his father was ethnically Arabic, with only 1 relative ethnically African Negro - a maternal great-grandparent (Sen. Obama’s great-great grandparent, thus the 6.25% ethnic contribution to the senator’s ethnic composition.).

That means that Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother’s side. He is 43.75% Arabic, and 6.25% African Negro from his father’s side.

Put another way, his father could honestly claim African-American ethnic classification. He was the last generation able to do so.

I don’t know who Kenneth Lamb is, but the information is wrong. The Luo tribes are not arab. The Luo actually left their ancestral homeland because of arab conquest. The Luo are black Africans and very dark skinned.
arabs are notoriously racist. They don’t like black people.
