I guess someone forgot to tell her that Obama’s ancestors were the ones selling her ancestors into slavery.

I've been thinking the same thing for months!

Not likely. Obama's African ancestors are from East Africa, whereas hers are from the West.

If Obama's ancestors included slave-traders, probable if you go back far enough, they sold slaves to Muslim Arabs who exported them to the Middle East. There the males were generally castrated and the females used as drudge labor. In very few cases were they allowed to have children.

Thus, despite the fact that more blacks over the centuries were shipped to the Middle East than across the Atlantic, few of their descendants are found there today.
