‘Part-Kenyan’ Obama dislikes Britain for its colonial past, say ‘dog whistle racist’ Boris & Farage

London Mayor Boris Johnson and UKIP leader Nigel Farage have been branded “racist” after alleging “part-Kenyan” Barack Obama dislikes Britain because of its history as a colonial power in Africa.
Johnson was likened to a right-wing Tea Party politician after his attack on Obama’s Brexit intervention seemed to get out of hand.

Writing in tabloid The Sun on the first day of Obama’s three-day visit to Britain, Johnson suggested the US president had an “ancestral dislike” of the British Empire because his father was from Kenya.

Kenya was formerly a British colony which achieved independence in 1963 after a bloody uprising.

Nigel Farage MEP backed Johnson’s comments on Friday, telling the BBC he thought Obama holds “a grudge” against Britain because of his family’s history.

Johnson, who is a leading light in the right-wing Eurosceptic “Leave” campaign in the upcoming EU referendum, made the comments in an article attacking the US president for intervening in the debate.

Obama wants the UK to stay in the EU, but critics said the US president did not have Britain’s best interests at heart.

Johnson began his article by lamenting the fact that a famous bust of WWII Prime Minister Winston Churchill had disappeared from the Oval Office after Obama entered the White House.

“No one was sure whether the president had himself been involved in the decision.

“Some said it was a snub to Britain. Some said it was a symbol of the part-Kenyan President’s ancestral dislike of the British Empire – of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender.”

Farage was quick to jump on the Obama-bashing bandwagon.

“I think Obama, because of his grandfather and Kenya and colonization, I think Obama bears a bit of a grudge against this country,” he told BBC Radio 4.


Speaking to the Guardian, the UKIP leader said: “It’s just that you know people emerge from colonialism with different views of the British.

“Some thought that they were benign and really rather good, and others saw them as foreign invaders that kept people suppressed. Obama’s family come from that second school of thought and it hasn’t quite left him yet.”

Labour Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell swiftly attacked Johnson for his comments.

“Mask slips again. Boris part-Kenyan Obama comment is yet another example of dog whistle racism from senior Tories. He should withdraw it,” McDonnell tweeted.

Kenya endured a brutal conflict in the 1950s known as the Mau Mau Uprising, when a group of Kikuyu Kenyans sought to expel the British.

Some 12,000 Mau Mau rebels were killed during the uprising. Britain stands accused of perpetrating war crimes in the conflict, which dragged on for eight years and is believed to have contributed to Kenya’s eventual independence.

That's your problem, you never think!
When "visitors" don't respect their host, WTF should their host respect them?

The Nobamas hate being black, but they like to ignore their history, especially her. They both have white blood in them and her family were even slave owners......but as far as "the poms" are concerned, when you invite somebody into your home and they pizz on the carpet, you are not going to be very happy with them. He needs to keep his big black gob shut!

Most people in their pre-retirement period are busy stuffing as much money away as possible.
Obama though has decided to devote this period to stuffing as many Muslims as he can into the USA as well as seeing that crooked Hillary receives as muchllegal protection against the FBI as possible.

Some people like to research the subject that they speak of and some people don't. 

Obama is a Muslim apostate.
He was converted to Christianity by another Muslim apostate.

If they converted...

Murdoch go's where the money is, if most Americans think that the light shines out of Obamas arse then thats Murdochs position also, if the American public turns on Obama, as is happening right now then thats Murdoch's position, Murdochs position is formulated by public opinion, he doesn't drive public opinion, he follows it like it is a money trail because thats all it is to him.
