“There were arabs involved in the slave trade in Africa, and this is speculated to be the source.”
It’s irrelevant though. His ancestory stays in Africa. One of the descendents(Obama’s grandfather) converted from Christianity to Islam.
It’s a moot point really. The only issue facing Obama was the “Black enough” Issue, and that was clearly demonstrated bu the Chicago community during the race he lost. It was a big issue in that race. He apparently got the point, and could well have decided to circumvent the issue this time.
Which makes me think, perhaps the man contrived the issue so that it would become necessary to show his COLB conspicuously enough to insert the “African” thing into the minds of those he needed to convince, and get it out there into the mainstream media... Who the heck knows.
Getting “found out” as having a Long Form saying Caucasian would indeed be really embarrassing under just about any scenario that one could speculate on. The lawyer who made the claim that the information contained in the long form was embarrassing may well have been referring to that. It might not disqualify him from the position of POTUS, but it sure would make him look very bad in the Black Community.
