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.

Sorry Fred, but I have to point out that the original African colonials do not include the Europeans at all. The Europeans were relatively very late comers to the colonization of Sub-Sahara Africa. Preceding the Europeans by many centuries were the Arabs and Arab slave traders. preceding the Arabs were many others ranging from the Carthaginians to the Egyptians and others.

Obama’s paternal ancestors include members of the Luo tribe and Jo Luo culture. Their ancestry can be traced to a number of haplogroups which for the most part are confined to a presence in Africa in the areas of South Sudan, Uganda, and Kenya with lesser exceptions. There are one or more haplogroups which indicate descent from Cushite or perhaps some Ethiopian ancestry.

There has been some “speculation” about the role of the Luo as Muslim and/or Arab slave traders with connections to the Arab slave trading colonies in East Africa.
