For awhile, a story has been going around that Sen. Barack Obama Jr. isn’t really African-American at all, that he’s 7/16th Arab and only 1/16th sub-Saharan African. Well, it’s not true. Here’s a picture of his parents.
It’s quite possible that Barack Obama Sr. might have been a little bit Arab, and it’s certainly possible that some of Sen. Obama’s ancestors sold their fellow black Africans to Arab slavetraders. But this rumor that Barack Obama Sr. was 7/8th Arab is silly.
