Being American-born and -raised and Kenyan Luo descended via my biological father,
Having given the bulk of my adulthood into the service of this great nation,
Having taken much heat for being a black Republican—heat from Democrats/Liberals/Leftists--and Conservatives!--both black and white ,
Having been open in my embrace of the Free Gift of Salvation from Jesus Christ,
Knowing the centuries of havoc that Islamists and Islamic conquerors have wrecked and continue to wreck upon “abd” aka black Africans,
Having wondered whether my biological father is dead or alive as he flees his own countrymen,
Having never met said biological father face-to-face, Having attempted to dispel some of the ignorance regarding the contemporary chaos in Kenya and regarding the Luo tribe—membership of which Obama and I happen to share,
And having pointed out that Obama and his cousin, Raila Odinga, have deep communist roots (as do most European-/American-educated Africans over 60), I, nonetheless, have to put up with crap like this from an alleged ally:
You seem pretty unhinged and living in your own fantasy Baldilocks. Communists? They don't practise FGM do they? [Neither do Luos.] I hear all the Mungali [sic] leadership have reverted [sic] to Islam [sic]. Why are you covering for Islam?

In reply, BL@KBIRD, I cordially invite you to do something for me...
Go fornicate yourself.

Yes, that last line isn't very Christian. I'm sure everyone will get over it.

Dear Juliette,
The Christian version is: "Be fruitful and multiply, alone".

Once in a while, using Christian language just won't get the message across.

Baldilocks--
As a second generation American of Ukrainian Cossack and East German military lineage I say "just be yourself" and justify/apologize to no one about your lineage and faith. The only thing that counts is that we are all Americans and damn proud of it.

Well, that got the point across rather nicely. ;)
