I have recently been shown a handful of anti-Obama wacko websites. :rolleyes: Two claimed he wasn’t African-American because he didn’t come from slave lineage. Come on, his pa is from Kenya! That’s as close as you can get.

Another had the idea that he is Asian-American. I can’t begin to explain that one. The path of “reasoning” took so many odd turns that I got dizzy. There are bushels of lies and hate out there. Some of it is toxic and vicious, but seeded with a tiny particle of truth.
