Just some information to all the foolish people who are intimidated by a name that isn't European...i'm talking about (see below)
BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
Barrack means..."BLESSED" in Swahili
Hussein means..."HANDSOME ONE"...in Arabic
Obama...is just his surname which of course was his fathers last name and has African roots...
Just like your name it has a meaning and your last name too...if you look it up you will probably be surprised what you find out...
My first name is Hebrew ( I am far from being Hebrew! lol!)
My middle name is derived from England and the Scots ancestry (I'm far from that too lol!)
My last name is also Scottish / English) I in no way fit into any of those categories...my mother liked the names she picked and hey I had no choice on my last name! geese it was my fathers last name so I inherited it! PLAIN AND SIMPLE FOLKZ! We need to stop judging people by their names and associating them with other things that have nothing to do with nothing in this political race!...people do that because their stupid...STOP THE NONSENSE!
I really thought Americans were better than that but I guess racism will never be erased...sad but true :(
