 merrie says: - a maternal great-grandparent (Sen. Obama's great-great grandparent, thus the 6.25% ethnic contribution to the senator's ethnic composition.). As you can see for yourself, Sen. Obama's African-American ethnic claim, when properly researched and documented, is a lie. The question no one wants to answer - particularly Mr. Obama and his supporters, is, "Why do you think he has an Arabic name? Why does his father have an Arabic name? Why does every ancestor on his father's side have an Arabic name?" The answer is obvious: They have Arabic names because his father's side of the family tree is Arabic. That means that Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side. He is 43.75% Arabic, and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. http://conservablogs.com/velvethammer/2008/01/25/obamas-family-tree/ How would the senator convince Americans still reeling from 9/11, Afghanistan, and Iraq, that now is the time for America's first Arab-American president. Many will find these truths unsettling. I'm often asked, "But I thought his father was Kenyan. How could Mr. Obama not be African-American, how could his ethnic composition be so Arabic?" The definitive clue to that answer is to look at his name, his father's name, and the names of all his ancestors on his father's side. They are all Arabic. Researching his roots reveal that on his father's side, he is descended from Arab slave traders. They operated under an extended grant from Queen Victoria, who gave them the right to continue the slave trade in exchange for helping the British defeat the Madhi Army in southern Sudan and the Upper Nile region. Funny how circular is history; now the Brit... Meh...I couldn't care less if he were martian, it is his politics I detest. Aren't most/all common Muslim names also Arab names? I imagine a lot of Arab names that don't belong to prominent figures in the Koran (or other important Muslim books) aren't used as Muslim names. I gather "Barrack" "Hussein" and "Obama" are not Muslim names but only Arab ones? If B. Hussein Obama is truly only 6.25% black, those are some powerful black genes, because he looks more black than Arab or anything else. What does it matter? Are we still so backwards as to argue how much "black blood" he's got? Are we still so rigid as to condemn a man's entire life based on an Arabic name he received at birth? The measure of the man is what counts, not what his ancestors chose to call him, nor what percentage of non-Caucasian blood he's got.
