Uhuru Kenyatta is the current President of Kenya, yes, and his father, Jomo Kenyatta, was the first president of his country.

Jomo was a political rival of Obama Senior, father of Hussein, former POTUS.

Do not underestimate the significance of this to either men, Uhuru and Hussein.

Hence the significance to POTUS Trump and his Admin.

The contrast between the two sets of father-sons has been lifelong both in terms of personal experiences and in terms of political achievements and goals.

Recently, Uhuru Kenyatta visited the WH.

The two big names in African anti-colonialism are Kwame Nkrumah, who led the freedom movement in Ghana, and Jomo Kenyatta, who spearheaded it in Kenya. "Spearhead" is an appropriate word here because Kenyata was known as the Burning Spear [anon's note: Jomo had changed his first name to Jomo which means burning spear] ; evidently Obama Jr. had taken this appellation fo the fathr of modern Kenya and assigned it to his own father. Barack Obama Sr. was actually a political opponent of Kenyatta. This is worth noting because it shows two very different strains of anti9-colonialism that developed in Kenya and in the Third World. Kenyatta was both pro-Western and a free market capitalist. […] Kenyatta argued that his goal was for Kenya to embrace Western values, but to do so as an independent nation. Rebuffing those who were calling for socialism, Kenyatta wrote, "Those Africans who think that when we have achieved our freedom they can walk into a shop and say this is my property, or go onto a farm and say this is my farm are very much mistaken, because this is not our aim."

This, however, was the aim of many socialists, and quite possibly it would have been supported by the senior Barack Obama. Obama Sr. and Kenyatta were from different tribes. Kenyatta was Kikuyu, whereas Obama Sr. was from the Luo tribe. Obama Sr.'s mentor was a fellow tribesman – the labor leader Tom Mboya. Mboya had helped to organize Obama Sr.'s trip to Ameria, and when Obama Sr. returned [anon's note: from his university education in Hawaii and the mainland] Mboya secured for him a series of government jobs, culminating in a position at the Ministry of Economic Planning and Development. Mboya was a socialist […] There were two tyhpes of socialists in Kenya at the time: the pro-Soviet socialists and the African socialists. […] the leader of the African group was Tom Mboya. […] wanted to develop an independent and distinctly African form of socialism.

All the socialists, of curse, rejected Kenyatta's free market approach.

Whether or not the biological parentage is masked so as to selected parentage advantageously, is not the point here.

Self-identification reveals something significant even where that self-identification is a mask – consciously or not.

Hussein and Kenyatta remain political opponents one generation removed. Yes, noteworthy. Dig moar, anons.

Fair enough, throw it into the hopper along with the rest of the background info on Hussein.

Significance of Kenyatta rivalry remains, however.

Quote

The senior Obama proposes that the state seize private land and turn it into "clan cooperatives" for growing food and manufacturing goods. He also proposes that taxes be raised, and no level of taxation is too high as long as "the benefits derived from public services by society measure up to the cost of taxation." In order to italicize the point, Obama Sr. insists that "theoretically there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100 percent of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed."

[…]

Socialism is hardly a necessary outgrowth of anti-colonialism. This is shown by Kenyatta's approach, which was manifestly anti-colonial but also pro-capitalist. Obama Sr., however, rejected the Kenyatta way. He wasn't a pro-Soviet socialist, but he was an African socialist. As an African socialist he was to the left of Mboya [anon note: Obama Sr was Mboya's political protégé] while Mboya sought to preserve private property and still claim the socialist label, the senior Obama wanted more state confiscation, more economic redistribution. All of this may help us understand why President Obama is so often accused of being a socialist. He does have socialist leanings or tendencies, but those have grown out of his commitment to his father's broader anti-colonial ideology.

There is a bitter postcript to the senior Obama's story. His fortunes plunged as he came into increasing conflict with Kenyatta and also with Kenyatta's future successor […] Obama Sr. lost his government job and could not find another one. Even Mboya could do little to protect him, and with Mboya's assassination in 1969 – allegedly by a man with ties to the government – Obama Sr's career was finished. Ultimately he fell into desperate poverty. No doubt these reversals were exacerbated his drinking problem, which in turn led to his liver disease and several car crashes. […]

Concise remarks, Anon, all on point.

In that light, dig into the Kenyatta v Obama contrast, then and now.

Significance? Ongoing rivalry here and there and here.
