I’m of the opinion that grand dad Stanley is really his father and Stanley Ann raised him until he was old enough for the grand parents to handle and indoctrinate him. There is no BC, but it could be a girl in Seattle is the mom and Stanley Ann picked him up in August of ‘61 and granny put the announcement in Hawaii papers. There is no evidence that Stanley Ann was ever pregnant or was ever married before Lolo.Maybe someday we will know.
That’s a completely reasonable set of assumptions, and one I think is completely possible because it would account for his physical features (ears, chin) and lack of resemblance to BHO Sr.
I’ve also been kicking around the notion that he is somehow related to Louis Farrakhan (if not his son). For some reason he seems to have been considered a prince within the Nation of Islam during his “lost years”.
I don’t think he is a Muslim by birth, but is a black nationalist Moslem indoctrinated into NOI tradition. Being related to or raised around Louis Farrakhan would explain many of his attitudes and mannerisms. It would also account for his somewhat casual approach to Islam, which some FReepers ascribe to taqqiyah. I think it’s because he’s not truly Muslim but belongs to the Nation of Islam.
