Too friggin funny!

There are a lot of bigots in Africa, and a good number of them aren't white. Then there's the corruption, nepotism and other traits Africa's known for, such as hacking off limbs during Civil Wars. Can't figure out why this is supposed to be funny or what the guy wrote that was so outrageous? That Obama attended a black radical church?

Here's another line: "Obama was born in Hawaii, where he spent most of his childhood raised by his mother, a white American from Kansas." Hmmm, well, his mother left Kansas when she was 3, and there was a good amount of time when Obama was raised by his grandparents, but they're going to detain this author for not having a work permit for doing some blogging and everyone's happy because they think he exaggerated and misstated the facts. Meanwhile, there's been some ability to ignore that the kids of Obama's famous step-grannie Sarah are named Omar, Zeituni, Yusuf and Sayed, instead hiding being the silly idea that all Kenyans are Christians. No wonder people get the idea that maybe something's being hidden.
