He claims his father was a Lou from Kenya.
I have read that posting on FR and have it among my 1-2 ft high stack of reference/research documents from before the early 2000s. I reiterate I have not seen to my recollection that Obama has actually ever claimed he had African blood in his veins and he did not say any such thing in an interview with Barbara Walters in 2010. If you can point me to such an admission please do so. Until I see such verified information/admission I will keep open that he could be of another dark skin bloodline. I myself as a young boy was often taken alongside my playmates as a Negro and while serving in the Philippines in WWII I was often taken as a dark skinned Filipino. I certainly am not of either ethnic people. As such skin color is not an absolute indicator of having African blood in one’s veins.
So you are assuming that because the title of that post is OBAMA THE AFRICAN COLONIAL, it means the author of the article believes he’s of African heritage?
The original African Colonials were Portugese, French, English, Belgian, Dutch...and probably a few more I’ve forgotten.
Sorry I mentioned it.
In 1995 Barack Obama wrote a book which, in part, is about having African blood in his veins called “Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.”
On the cover of the book are pictures of his Kenyan Luo tribe relatives, Habiba Akumu Hussein and Barack Obama, Sr. (Obama’s paternal grandmother and his father as a young boy).
He claims his father was a Lou from Kenya.

“My father was a foreign student, born and raised in a small village in Kenya. He grew up herding goats, went to school in a tin- roof shack. His father, my grandfather, was a cook, a domestic servant to the British. ...”
Maybe he’s the son and grandson of a white foreign student and white cook, respectively, who happened to be in Kenya.
"Admission" is the wrong word. Zero's African blood has always been a central plank of his "legend" (as it's called in tradecraft). It made him a millionaire and catapulted him into the White House. Here he was proclaiming his African heritage before a national audience in 2004:

Of course, it's conceivable he came by his black genes through another route, e.g., FMD or Malcolm X. But it's extremely unlikely. Nor is it of much relevance. He believes the Kenyan anti-colonial commie BHO, Sr. to be his daddy and the source of his dreams (no doubt heavily interpreted early on by FMD), and that's made him what he is: our first anti-American president.
