The 2008 preseidential elections has observed both the liberal and conservative media in america capitalizing on the fact that america had democratically elected its first African-American president, as the results of the elections became self-evidently in favor of the junior senator from Illinois.
What the media has not done, however, is correctly publicize the fact that Barack Hussein OBAMA Jr. is not actually black, or even half black, for that matter. Although to their credit, the media did address the fact that OBAMA is half black by the virtue of his mother, Stanley Ann DUNHAM, being of less colorful ancestry.
Another thing that the media has failed to report, is the fact that even the senator’s father, Barack Hussein OBAMA Sr. is not purely of African (or African-American) descent, which has been the subject of some interest and research of dutch genealogists and writers at de Volkskrant, who have discovered the following fact about OBAMA’s great-grandparents:
Mr. Jelle Obbema, a Frisian, who around 1870 left Friesland for Kenya [made] a small fortune in the peppermint oil business. He was one of the founders of the famous Frisian King Peppermint company.
While in Kenya… Mr. Obbema had many love affairs. Offspring of these affairs were given the name Obama, the African version of the Frisian name Obbema. One of the sons was Sjoerd-Bark Obama, Barack Obama’s great-grandfather.
…finally, there is an Obbema Family Crest and on the crest are the words “Ja, wy kinne – Yes we can.”
This claim by the prestigious dutch publication was further backed and echoed by independent research findings submitted to Elsevier.nl, currently the world’s largest publisher of scientific papers, which reports that:
Senator Barack Obama, vying to be the first African-American president, has been known to have white ancestors who were in possession of slaves, according to a genealogist.
(Senator Barack Obama, die de eerste zwarte president van Amerika wil worden, heeft blanke voorouders die in het bezit waren van slaven, zegt een genetisch onderzoeker.)
Having acquired this new piece of fact, and after consulting a decent amount of sources online concerning the geneology of Barack Hussein Obama Jr., the following family tree (mapping also the “purity” of his caucasian counterpart) can be hypothesized:
Fifth Generation (Great Great Grandparents)
Jelle OBBEMA - ? (100% Caucasian + 100% African)
Fourth Generation (Great Grandparents)
Sjoerd-Barack OBAMA - Nyaoke (50% Caucasian/African + 100% African)
Third Generation (Grandparents)
Hussein Onyango OBAMA - Akumu (25% Caucasian/75% African + 100& African)
Second Generation (Parents)
Barack Hussein OBAMA Sr. - Stanley Ann DUNHAM (12.5% Caucasian/87.5% African + 100% Caucasian)
First Generation
Barack Hussein OBAMA Jr. (58.75% Caucasian/41.25% African)
Below is a picture of the man who started it all, Mr. Jelle Obbema of the King Peppermint fame:
Oh and on an unrelated note, it seems that our new president-elect is a Hammer’s fan.
